bedroom. The priest was right. He was an animal.
    Father Andrew smiled apologetically. “I’m sure it won’t be a problem for you. You’ve already shown that you can honor that rule when you were Vanda’s guard. I’ll see you Friday.” He slipped back into the meeting room.
    Phil stared at the closed double doors. Double shit. Once again he was overcome with lust for a beautiful Vamp woman. And once again she was forbidden.
    His hands balled into fists. He was an Alpha wolf now, one of the most powerful supernatural creatures on earth. If he wanted a woman, no priest was going to stop him. No ridiculous rules would stop him.
    He had always felt a connection to Vanda. She’d never really fit into Roman’s harem, just as he’d never fit into his father’s pack. While the other harem girls had scurried about, trying in vain to gain Roman’s attention and favor, Vanda had made it clear from the start that she answered to no one. She was a loner like him.
    With a sigh, he trudged down the hall. Father Andrew was right. She needed his understanding and compassion. Unfortunately, his strongest feelings for her right now were lust and anger.
    He’d been a starving, nineteen-year-old student, desperately trying to pay his way through college, when Connor had hired him. He would have put up with anything to keep a job that paid well, gave him free room and board, and allowed him to finish school. And he had put up with a lot. All from Vanda. For five long years she’d tortured him with her “harmless flirtation.”
    He’d tried his best to ignore it. The Vamps were his friends—more like his family, actually, since his father had disowned him at the age of eighteen. There was no going back. And over time, Phil had come to realize how valuable he was to the Vamps and their struggle against the Malcontents. He was protecting not just his Vamp friends, but the entire world.
    He swiped his ID card outside the door to the security office, then pressed his palm against the hand sensor. These were a newly added security measures, reminding him how much the Malcontent problem had worsened over the past few years. The indicator light turned green as the door unlocked, and he entered the office.
    Howard Barr, head of daytime security, was seated behind the desk, watching the wall of monitors connected to surveillance cameras. Because of the Coven Meeting, Howard was working late. Seated in front of the desk was Phineas McKinney, a young black Vamp from the Bronx. He’d been making a round earlier, when Phil had first arrived, so Phil had missed him.
    “What it is, wolf-bro?” Phineas stood and raised a hand for a high five. “Lay a furry paw on me.”
    Phil smacked his hand. “How’s it going, Dr. Phang?”
    “Can’t complain,” Phineas said.
    “Want a doughnut?” Howard pushed the box across the desk.
    “No thanks.” Phil shook his head, smiling. Howard Barr always had a box of doughnuts on hand, and he never seemed to gain weight. It must have something to do with having the metabolism of a bear.
    Phineas settled back in his chair. “So are you stationed here now?”
    “Yep.” Phil was glad to be back in New York, where he could be more useful in the war against the Malcontents. He’d come earlier in the summer to help another MacKay S&I employee, Jack, rescue his fiancée, who had been kidnapped by Malcontents.
    For the last year Phil’s official assignment had been in Texas, where he’d served on the security team protecting Coven Master and famous fashion designer, Jean-Luc Echarpe. “I had to go back to Jean-Luc’s place for a few days to take care of a problem.”
    “What kind of problem?” Phineas asked. “Did you have fleas, man? They make collars for that, you know.”
    Howard chuckled.
    Phil gave them both a bland look. “It wasn’t fleas. It was Billy.”
    “Billy?” Howard selected a bear claw from the doughnut box. “Isn’t he Jean-Luc’s new day guard?”
    “Yes. He was the local
