thought I’d better figure out what was happening. I’d better go wash it out.”
    “Need any help?” asked Duncan, smiling wickedly .
    “ I have a better idea, why don’t you quit ogling her and tell us what you’ve learned,” said Ethan, sliding out of bed wearing a pair of light blue boxers.
    Staring at his broad shoulders and amazing pecs, I felt a twinge of disappointment knowing that Duncan may have interrupted an intimate morning.
    Duncan plopped into a chair. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. “I’ve learned absolutely nothin g. The hotel that Faye supposedly owns, The Marlimore? Nobody in that place has even heard of her, Caleb, or even Celeste. In fact, it’s owned by some tycoon who lives on the top floor. Says he’s owned it for years.”
    I groaned. “Seriously? What the heck are we going to do now?”
    “They’re here somewhere,” said Ethan. “ I just know it. Don’t worry, Nikki, we’ll find them.”
    “You sure about that? ” replied Duncan. “This city is nuts, so many people, so much going on. Do we know for certain that this was even their destination?”
    “That’s what I was wondering . What if we’re on this wild goose chase and they’re on the other side of the world?” I said.
    “ Obviously that’s a possibility,” said Ethan. “But Caleb loves Vegas and was planning on marrying your mom, right? I still think they’re here.”
    “Do you know of any other vampires living in Vegas?” I asked
    “I’m sure there are hundreds,” replied Duncan. “This place is basically a buffet.”
    “Let’s just say that this place has its share of immortals and I’m not just talking vampires,” he replied. “The sooner we find your mom and brother, the better.”
    “What do you mean?” I asked. “Are you talking about more shape-shifters like Faye?”
    “That and other things you don’t want to run into,” he said, walking towards the bathroom. He stepped inside and turned on the faucet.
    Duncan and I looked at each other and he shrugged. He obviously didn’t know either.
    “Well, what else are we talking about?” I asked, moving to the bathroom. I stood in the entrance as Ethan cupped his hands under the faucet and washed his face.
    He shut o ff the water, grabbed a small white towel, and dried his face. “Something that you want to avoid at all costs, since they aren’t fond of vampires. Lycan.”
    Duncan snorted
    I stared at Ethan in disbelief. “You’ve got to be joking.”
    He smiled humorlessly. “You’re actually going to question it after everything that’s happened?”
    He had a point. “I suppose not, but… Lycan? You mean those things that howl at the moon, eat people, and walk on their hind legs? Seriously?”
    He brushed past me and went back into the bedroom. “I’ve never actually met any of them in person, but Caleb says they’re out there,” he replied, grabbing his jeans. He scowled. “Dammit, I must have a hole in my lip.”
    I looked at the blood on his jeans and smirked. “ Oh, man, I just can’t take you anywhere.”
    He reached over and slapped my butt hard. “Maybe, but I wouldn’t mind taking you on the bed.” He wiggled his eyebrows “How about we get rid of your friend for a while.”
    “Ethan!” I gasped , moving away from his reach. I glanced at Duncan out of the corner of my eye and noticed his teeth were clenched. 
    “ Uh oh, looks like someone’s a little pissed off,” smiled Ethan arrogantly.
    I gave him a dirty look and mouthed the word “stop .”
    His eyes widened in feigned innocence.
    “I can leave you alone if you really need privacy,” said Duncan evenly.
    “Of course not, Duncan. W e need to get moving so we can find Nathan and mom.”
    “ Well, seeing as I’m starting to feel outnumbered here, I’d better take a shower,” said Ethan, grabbing his overnight bag. “Then we’ll head out.”
    Duncan leaned forward. “Ethan, about these so-called werewolves, has Caleb ever encountered
