have been
    safe.”
    He shook his head, not believing she
    could even think that. “If you think I’d
    ever leave you . . .” No fucking way.
    “Who would be dumb enough to come
    after you like that?” Kiernan wanted to get
    straight to the heart of what had just
    happened. Once he had a name, blood
    would spill. Her pack could do whatever
    they wanted, but he was taking care of her.
    “I have no idea. There aren’t any other
    packs in the area and I truly don’t think
    anyone would be dumb enough to try to
    take over my father’s territory.”
    “What about your brothers? Any cases
    they’re working on that might relate to
    this?” Kiernan had done his homework on
    the three Rodriguez brothers. One was in
    vice, the other a detective, and the third
    worked for a private security firm that
    specialized in protecting high profile
    supernatural and human clients.
    She shrugged, the action so jerky he
    knew she’d be coming down from her
    adrenaline high soon. “I don’t know. I
    need to call my mother.” Her voice
    cracked on the last word and it was like a
    spear through his heart.
    Even though he hated to do it because it
    meant she might be leaving him soon, he
    slid out his cell and handed it to her since
    hers had cracked during her struggle.
    “Here. Do you want me to take you home
    or do you want to go to my place?”
    She looked at him, green eyes wide
    with so many emotions. Confusion, fear,
    and anger. “I . . .” Melina looked down at
    herself, seeing the blood covering her
    dress and coat, then looked back up at
    him. “Your place. I can’t let my family see
    my like this. They’ll go crazy. I’ll call
    them once I get there.”
    Though he wanted to reach out and
    comfort her, he didn’t. Instead he slipped
    the phone she returned to him back in his
    pocket. There would be time enough to
    soothe her once she was safe.
    Taking a sharp turn, he cringed when
    Melina let out a yelp and clasped on to the
    door.
    “Sorry, trying to make sure we’re not
    being tailed.” It wasn’t common
    knowledge where he lived since
    relocating to Miami, so he wasn’t worried
    about anyone waiting at his place to
    ambush them—not that anyone should
    know he’d been out with her in the first
    place. “Did you tell anyone you were
    going out with me?”
    A sharp shake of her head. “Not you
    specifically.”
    That rankled him, but it would help
    narrow down who had known of her
    whereabouts. If he had to guess, someone
    had been watching her neighborhood.
    Even though Star Island was exclusive and
    most people thought it was gated, it
    wasn’t. Most people wouldn’t mess
    around with the Rodriguez pack though.
    They had their own form of security. But
    that wouldn’t stop someone from watching
    the entrance to the neighborhood and it
    wouldn’t stop someone from following
    Melina. They couldn’t have tailed her
    home from work, because he had. Some
    primal part of him had needed to make
    sure she got home safe.
    He’d kept his distance and figured she
    had no clue, but that didn’t mean someone
    hadn’t been watching her, looking for the
    right opportunity. He didn’t think she’d
    been a target for very long. If someone had
    been watching her, he’d have known. A
    dull throb spread through his skull as he
    thought of all the possibilities of who
    could be after her.
    After driving all over Miami down
    various side streets, through the
    warehouse district, to Coconut Grove and
    back, he finally pulled into a parking
    garage three blocks from where he lived.
    “This is where you live?” Melina
    asked, the first thing she’d said in the past
    half hour.
    Hell, she’d probably been questioning
    her decision to come with him but at least
    she hadn’t asked him to take her home. He
    would, even if it would go against every
    possessive instinct he had.
    “Not exactly. Take off your coat.” He
    palmed the keys to his car.
    “Excuse me?”
    “It’s covered in blood. You can wear
