guard hit me with his dart.” He whispered, “Why?”
Regina’s gut continued to twist, making her nauseous. “Is it possible that more guards are coming to this dimension other than those who crossed over with you and Arez?”
“How could they? Why would they?”
Because Vakar had sent them. Surely, he’d concluded that someone had helped Lukan and Arez escape. That someone could be Meelo or Damir. It could also be Nikoli, even though everyone on E2 believed he was dead, thanks to his father. Domm Zorr had lied to protect his son, claiming that Nikoli had died fighting the vampires. The rulers had bought his story, even giving Nikoli a state funeral.
Regina could only imagine Vakar’s rage at Nikoli having duped him. Could he already know Domm had been in on it?
If Vakar did, he hadn’t let on to the man. Domm hadn’t opened a portal to warn his son. Could be Vakar was biding his time until his plan was well in motion—using his device to open portals on this side, ordering the guards to locate and capture Nikoli, dragging him back to E2 for execution along with his father.
Regina bit her lower lip so hard she tasted blood. She wanted to scream or put her fist through the wall but forced herself to remain calm. To try to reason this out as Nikoli and his people would. The Seattle metro area had more than three million people in it. The guards locating him here, even accidentally, would be like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.
A good thing, until she remembered the help they might get from the werewolves that had also crossed over with their superior sense of smell.
“Regina?”’
She blinked, then blurted, “The guards are coming for Nikoli. One of the werewolves is already here. I know it. We have to do something.”
Chapter Six
Gwen stood next to Staci in their snug kitchen, both of them staring at the back door, listening for sounds from outside. Mortal screams. Animal snarls. Carnage.
Nothing. For the moment, everything was as it should be.
Yeah, right.
Minutes earlier, Gwen had asked Kuma who he was while her mind had added, what are you?
He might as well have been reading her thoughts, or perhaps he saw the panic on her face, because he’d released her hand and stepped away from her bed, his attention moving to the hall.
At the time, Gwen wondered if he intended to leave, not wanting to explore why the thought pained her.
Staci had saved her from such sentimental musings. “What’s wrong?” the girl had asked him, rocking on her heels as though she would have liked to move closer but didn’t dare.
“Something’s coming,” he answered.
Gwen hadn’t asked what, nor had Staci. They watched him release the metal button on his jeans and lower the fly. The zipper’s rasp sounded louder than it should, the same as the pounding rain and Staci’s hitching breaths.
“What’s he doing?” she asked Gwen.
Wasn’t it obvious?
The edges of his jeans fell away from his body, revealing his hairy groin, his muscles taut and rippling. He toed off his running shoes and stripped, his clothing smacking against the hardwood floor. He stepped out of his jeans. Naked. Unashamed.
Staci made a whimpering noise not entirely devoid of pleasure. Gwen couldn’t blame her. He was magnificent. His cock long and thick, the head plump, reddened with desire. Thick veins snaked up the rigid shaft. Gwen would have given up a year of her life for the privilege of burying her face in that part of him, licking his hard rod. She snuck a peek at his face. Her pulse leapt even as her bones seemed to go soft.
He stared at her like a man intent on passion…or a male animal during the rut. Three steps and he’d be back at her bed, climbing on it, unfolding his body over hers, trapping her beneath his weight and warmth.
A wanting moan bubbled up in her throat at the thought. Helplessly, she regarded him. His rich mouth she knew, there was no longer any doubt about that. They had kissed when he’d
