If I was going to have to get over my past regrets, then so washe.
“I should have gone to the addresses in the book the day after she died. They probably would have told me what I was, and everything. We can’t worry about the pastanymore.”
He nodded but still looked shaken. “Where is thisbook?”
I winced. “My car, back at Jeanine’sbar.”
He sighed. “I thought you might saythat.”
We’d had to leave my car when the druid Steven attacked me. The whole pack had fled in Danny’s limo, and we still hadn’t had a chance to go back forit.
Logan seemed to be thinking, rubbing the scruff on his jaw. “It’s probably been impounded. I’ll have Gear take care ofit.”
I was going to intervene that if it was impounded they would need to see my ID, which matched the title and registration, but I was guessing Gear had ways aroundthat.
A thought came to me then. “We should leave a message for Eva. Have her come back. With the book … I mean, if it is what I think it is. It could lead us right to the others. We can gotogether.”
Logan nodded. “We have four days to train you to control your dragon and kill druids. Because I have a feeling once you have the staff, Isaac will need to be training you full-time.”
I went to interject that I hadn’t shifted at all since the night we were attacked in the alley of Jeanine’s bar, but that was no use. I nearly shifted last night at the underground fightingring.
“Alright, you get four days, but on two conditions,” I toldhim.
A sly grin crept across his face and he leaned into me. “Oh? What’sthat?”
I leaned closer too, feeling my dragon slither inside of me, sending waves of heat to my groin. When was my next heat? Now-ish?
“No running, and don’t kill me,” I said sternly. I hated running with a passion, so much so that I wouldn’t mind it engraved on my tombstone.Sloane Murphy, hated running more thandruids.
He leaned in closer, reaching up to brush my bottom lip with his thumb. “I promise not to kill you,” he said as he leaned in and took hold of my bottom lip with his mouth, giving it a hard suck and letting go with a poppingnoise.
I moaned. There were many ways to kill me, and teasing was one of them. I was just about to tell him so when I sensed movement at the front of the bus, a member of the pack climbing on board. One guess who it was. Blond hair andboobs.
“Did you make any dragon babies while you were gone?” Sophieteased.
“I wish,” I told her, and Logan’s body physically stiffened. I could feel the heat coming off of him. He moaned but turned it into acough.
Sucker.
“What do you want, Soph?” It gave me pleasure to hear the annoyance in Logan’svoice.
She put one hand on her hip. “Ruben and I set up an obstacle course while you were gone. Danny told me we only have four days to train Sloane, so let’s get to it, sunshine. I’m going to make a warrior out of youyet.”
I rolled my eyes and stepped off the bed, standing up next to Logan. “I did pretty good yesterday, considering I’m so out of shape.” I wanted Sophie to know I could hold my own, classically trained in ass kicking ornot.
She shrugged. “All I see is that you brought home a stray that nearly took my hand off when I tried to pethim.”
Hemlock. I grinned. “Took me a few hours to teach him thattrick.”
She rolled her eyes. “Come on.” She turned and left the bus, shaking her hips as shewalked.
“Why did you put her in charge of my training again?” I asked my mate, who was still eyeing me with a smoldering look. “She did say obstacle course, right? You promised not to get mekilled.”
He grinned. “Sophie’s good at this stuff, and it helps her to keep her mind off of Cooper. They wereclose.”
I reached out and touched the red beard tattoo on Logan’s arm and nodded. “Fine, for Cooper. But if she breaks me, I blameyou.”
He leaned forward and kissed my forehead. “If anyone breaks you, I’ll kill them,” he saidseriously.
