to do with those.”
    Dylan steepled his fingers. “Any idea who is?”
    “We have thoroughly investigated these killings within our own justice system. It’s no one in our pack. We think it’s a rogue. Definitely a werewolf, though.” Dylan’s gaze shot to Noah. “Would have been nice if you’d let me know about this before.”
    Noah shrugged. “It’s not like we go about revealing our identities to the Feds, man.
    I couldn’t tell you. Would you have believed me anyway?”
    “Not before last night.” Shit. “I still have to do my job. I was in the park last night because I was supposed to meet an informant. Some woman with dark hair who had a lead for me. I thought Chantal was the informant.” Lamont looked at Chantal.
    “Don’t give me that look,” she said. “I didn’t even know about these murders until Noah told me about them this morning.”
    Dylan stood. “I have calls to make, leads to follow up on. I’m on assignment here. I need to report in to the NCA or they’ll be sending a shitload of field agents to look for me. You don’t want that. Let me go do my job.” Lamont sighed. “Very well. But I want Noah and Chantal with you at all times.
    And they do have the inside track on the werewolf population here in the area as well as around the country. They can be of use to you.” Dylan shrugged. “If it’s okay with them, it’s fine by me.” 28

    Lamont looked to Chantal.
    “I can take a few days off work. I just finished a case.”
    “I’m free for a few too,” Noah said.
    “Good,” Lamont said. “We do, of course, require your discretion in this and would appreciate you not notifying the government of the existence of werewolves.”
    “Considering my current predicament, it would be a death warrant to my career.
    You have my word.”
    Lamont nodded. “And night of the full moon, Dylan, you come back here for the change. It’s dangerous for you to be out there.”
    “Fine.”
    “Then it’s settled.” He stood. “Chantal will see to any of your other needs and questions. If you require anything else, please don’t hesitate to ask.” After he left the room, Dylan turned to Noah. “Doesn’t he remind you of Lurch?” Noah snorted. “He’s a little dry and humorless, yeah.”
    “More like those movie vampire types than a werewolf if you ask me.”
    “And just what are our ‘types’?” Chantal asked.
    “Not sure yet. Y’all seem pretty normal to me. Except for the snarling and biting.”
    “You haven’t seen the half of it yet,” she said with a half smile.
    “Show me.” He tilted back in his chair and laced his fingers over his stomach.
    “Uh, yeah. That’s my clue to leave before I get icked out.” Noah stood. “You need me, Chantal, buzz my phone. I’m going out but I’ll be nearby.”
    “I need to make some calls,” Dylan said.
    “Make your calls,” Noah said. “You won’t be going out for a few hours.”
    “Why’s that?”
    “Urges, my man,” Noah replied with a snicker as he walked out. “Urges.” Dylan turned back to Chantal. “I feel like there’s a private joke I’m not privy to.” 29

    “Sexual urges. Now that you’ve eaten, they’ll be hitting you shortly. Better make your calls.” She stood. “I’ll be in my room.”
    “Naked? Legs spread? How nice of you to act like a whore for me during this transition.”
    She pushed calmly back from the table and leaned over him, her mouth inches from his, her gaze boring into his. “Guess I deserved that since I put you in this predicament.
    But get this straight. I’m no man’s whore, Dylan. I’m doing this out of guilt and pack responsibility. Nothing more. When you’re ready and the urge hits, I’ll be ready to take care of it for you, because that’s what I’m supposed to do. Don’t assume I’ll derive any pleasure from it.”
    She turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
    Well, that was strangely unsatisfying. But goddammit, he
