to anyone. “It is time for a new start,” she whispered as she looked around the office one last time. She silently said good bye as she walked out, never looking back as she walked home.

                  Paul had finally woken shortly after Katie had vanished. By the time he had realized what was going on, Katie was already leaving her apartment. He had taken a cold shower to try and calm himself down. He had not meant for things to go as far as they had but he had lost all control over himself.
                  Paul had then put on clean clothes and headed out to watch Katie. He could not see anyone through the front window of the precinct, but knew Katie was there because her purse sat on top of her desk. After about forty-five minutes, the door in the back of the office opened. Paul froze almost immediately. Out walked his father and two brothers. He knew that the Elders were hunting him, but why would they send his family?
                  He stepped back behind the cover of the coffee shop. Sweet aromas swirled all around him as he watched his father and brothers. They all came out of the precinct, head held high, true alphas wherever they went. Paul’s own dragon was wanting to pound his chest and show dominance. They had been in there with Katie, a thought that Paul did not like.
                  They all climbed into a black town car that sped off the second the back door was closed. Paul did not dare to move. He was afraid one of them would look back and spot him hiding here so he leaned against the wall and waited until he saw Katie. Standing up straight, he watched as she made her way to her desk and started putting things into a box. What the hell was going on?
                  Katie was quick about gathering her stuff. Within minutes, she was already headed out of the precinct, box in tow. Had she been fired? It looked that way, but why? Paul was not sure but he was willing to bet that it had been because of him. He gave himself a mental kick. So now not only was Katie alone, but she was jobless, too.
                  Paul followed Katie as she made her way down the street toward their apartments. He made sure that he kept ample space between them just in case she turned around again, all the while berating himself for getting her fired. It was not fair that she was being punished because she had not apprehended him the night before. Pure bullshit! He would figure out a way to fix this but first, he needed more answers about Katie.
                  The dream last night had left Paul with even more questions than before. With the questions came hope. He should not have been able to fully connect with Katie the way he had. The white rock only allowed him to tap into a human’s mind to find the answers he needed, but he had fully connected with Katie. Had shared an intimate dream. It made him think that she could be a dragon. If she was then why had she not grown up among them? Why was she living out there in a world of monsters and not where she belonged, with the dragon race?
                  Paul was not sure, but he knew he needed to figure out why these females kept popping up. For so long, the dragon race believed that the females were dying as infants. Something was wrong, Paul could feel it in his gut. He may be on the shit list of his race but that did not mean that he was willing to let them continue thinking that the females were dead. Paul got the feeling that Katie was the key to everything, he just needed to find another way to get answers. He did not trust himself enough to connect with her mind again, so it had to be done in person this time.
