"Tomorrow we must assure Draven knows about the whole in the wall." Vanquish said.

"And about Marta." I added.

Vanquish nodded.

"What about Marta?" Hunter asked. "She's an old lady."

"With an evil bend." Vanquish corrected.

Who poisons are wolves.

And keeps the females from getting with pup.

Draven would be furious to hear that.

I cringed at the thought, hoping it was something Lyra Lani had already divulged to him.

So I don't have to.

I filled Hunter and Racer in on what I'd seen tonight.

They were all angry with me. But less than I'd suspected.

I'd thought they might be tempted to wring my neck.

"Stay away from her." Vanquish ordered. "No following old ladies in the dark."

"Old men then?" I asked sheepishly.

His black glower could've shriveled a berry.

"I'm surprised you didn't run into Fury." Racer remarked as he walked away. Making me wince.

"What was that?" Hunter called me out. Pointing at my face.

Damn them for never missing a thing.

Can't a girl keep one thing to herself?

My eyes darted to him. "What?"

"Don't play that." He gave me a chiding look.

Vanquish stood behind him and crossed his arms. "Hiding more, Vanna Rae?"

***

"Fury was there." I blurted before any of them could force it out of me.

Vanquish gave a drawn out growl that warned me from further deceit. "I've about had it with the secrets."

"I know."

"Me too." Hunter added.

"Secrets from you too." Vanquish's eyes narrowed on his look alike.

Hunter's lip curled and he ducked his head.

That was my fault.

"What am I missing?" Racer asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Hunter said quickly.

"Everything." Vanquish corrected. Shaking his head.

"What'd Fury want?"

"He was only there to see what was going on with Jaecar. Rebekah was already there checking them."

Hunter snorted. Rolling his head and laughing. "Of course, the Healer was there."

***

"What's that supposed to mean?" I gave him a quick look.

Racer's face brightened with amusement. "Vanna...You're so pretty and so intelligent but you miss the simple drama between men and women, so often."

"Fury and Rebekah?" I gave him a stunned look.

"Not now." Vanquish said. "But once..."

"From what we hear." Hunter corrected.

"Just stay away from him." Vanquish's arms dropped. "He's more dangerous than you know."
