stared at him in shock. “What?”
    Duncan’s eyes hardened. “Knock off the act, Ethan.”
    “What in the hell are you talking about? Victor, the wolf-man from Vegas? He is Nikki’s stepdad?   
    “ You already knew that.”
    Ethan’s eyes blazed. “Bullshit I did!”
    Dunc an smirked.
    “Look, i s Victor even still alive?” asked Ethan. “Or, did Maximus help you guys stop him?”
    Duncan smiled coldly. “ No, you made sure of that.”
    “I … what?!”
    “ Oh, come on. You killed Maximus. Quit the games, Ethan.”
    “ I’m not the one playing games, I’m just another pawn who doesn’t know what the hell is going on.” 
    “ Let me fill you in, then. You killed Maximus in the desert. But, not before you stood back and watched as a lycan attempted to rape Nikki.”
    Ethan’s stomach clenched and he could barely breathe. “One of the lycan raped her?”
    “No. Almost . Maximus stopped Jordan.”
    “Who is Jordan? Where did he come from?”
    “Victor’s nephew. The lycan who tried raping her .”
    “I’ll kill him,” said E than, pulling at his restraints, his blood boiling. “I’ll kill him and cut off his balls.”
    “No need to wo rry about it, Victor already took care of the asshole.”
    Ethan let out a ragged breath. “What else can you tell me?”
    “What else? Let me see – after Maximus interrupted Jordan’s attempted rape, you took it upon yourself to end his life.”
    “Bullshit! I didn’t kill Maximus. Jesus, don’t you understand? I’ve been stuck in this shithole and have no idea what’s happened. Obviously Faye transformed herself into me and that’s who is behind all of this.”
    “Faye?”
    “Think about it! She’s a shape-shifter! Wake up!”
    Duncan laughed coldly. “If she is, then she’s a hell of a good actress.”
    “It’s what she does. She changes into other forms… other people… and she messes with their lives. And, because she hates Nikki, it’s obvious she’s trying to turn her against me.”
    “ One of you has succeeded. Whether it was Faye or you.”
    “By killing Maximus?”
    “Yes, but more importantly, by handing you over to Victor.”
    E than face turned red with rage. “I would have never done that! You of all people know how much I care about Nikki. What I would have done to keep her safe.”
    He didn’t reply . He stared at the wall pensively.
    Ethan pulled at the restraints again. “I’ve got to get out of here. I need to talk to Nikki and correct everything that Faye has destroyed.”
    Duncan looked at him. “Even if everything you’ve said is true, the best thing you could do is stay away from her.”
    Ethan sneered . “Why, because you want Nikki for yourself?”
    “Yes, I’m not going to lie. I love her and want her safe, too ,” said Duncan. “But, think about it – you’re nothing but a danger to her. Faye’s obsession for you is going to kill Nikki.”
    “Not if I do something about it, ” he said slowly.
    “You tried doing something about it before , and I’m pretty sure you failed.”
    Ethan’s eyes blazed with fire . “That won’t happen again.”

    The snow was falling heavily as Faye pulled up to Club Nightshade in her new silver Bentley. She got out of the car and frowned down at the white powder, which was already making an impact on the parking lot. She made a mental note to call a plow service.
    “Good evening, Ms. Dunbar,” said the security guard sitting on a stool at the front entrance. It was still early – just past five-thirty, and the club was quiet.
    “Good evening , Honi,” replied Faye. “Nice weather we’re having, huh?”
    He shrugged. “It doesn’t bother me. You know the place will still be jam-packed tonight. Snow or not, it’s the best party in town.”
    “ I have to agree with you there,” she replied. “This little town wouldn’t know what to do without Club Nightshade.”
    “You got that right. Anyway, you look beautiful. As
