and growled even before the
officer had left the room. “I didn't kill anyone, Dax. I
swear!”
    Dax nodded. “Tell me
what happened.”
    “ It's...complicated.”
    Dax frowned. “Complicated?” What's complicated? Levi wasn't referring to the murder
charge, that's for sure.
    “ She...she was in
danger! I had to do something! I couldn't...I just couldn't leave
her...with him! He'd kill her!”
    “ Who would kill her?”
    “ Her ex-husband, a real
piece of shit if you ask me,” Levi spat.
    “ Who is she?” Dax
asked, his tone gentle.
    Levi took a deep breath. “Her
name is Rebecca. Rebecca Rose. She works in a bar, a blood bar in
the city.”
    Dax nodded. The blood bars
served alcoholic and flavored blood to the vampires and blood demons
in New Moon City. Some bars provided live entertainment as well.
Singers, strippers, shifters...all kinds of erotic and exotic acts.
    Dax took in all the facts.
“What's the name of the bar?”
    “ Club Mate. Corny name,
yeah?” Levi attempted a grin, but only managed to grimace in
pain.
    “ And what does Ms Rose
do at Club Mate?” Dax asked carefully.
    “ She...she's a stripper.
Goes by the name Raven Rose. I...saw her while I was on patrol one
night. I was with Scott, and we were doing a routine check on the
bar, making sure all the laws and regulations were complied with and
the patrons were behaving themselves. I saw her and I...talked to
her. She's special, Dax. She's a very special girl. I knew it the
moment I saw her,” Levi said softly. “I just knew that
she's...” He swallowed. Mine.
    Dax exhaled quietly. He
understood what Levi was saying. Most shifters recognized their
mates instantly. Levi was a bear shifter, strong, protective and
powerful. He wasn't a violent man, and he controlled his bear at all
times. But shifters would kill for their mates. If someone
threatened or touched their mates...
    Dax shook away the image of
Melynda with the young lion shifter. The reckless young man had been
holding her by the waist, his arm hugging her luscious, curvy body...
    From the way Levi was
squinting at him, he knew that his eyes had turned fully silver.
    “ Go on,” Dax
urged. “Tell me what happened tonight. Were you at Club
Mate?”
    “ No. I...I was at her
home.”
    A pause. “And?”
    “ Her ex-husband
appeared. He escaped from the psychiatric ward, and came straight
for her. He was...” Levi scowled. “He wasn't human,
not anymore. He had been tortured by a demon lord, but his mind was
already unhinged before that. He had been beating her, threatening
her, trying to force her not to go through with the divorce. After
his ordeal at the hands of the blood demon lord, he lost it
completely. Even the hospital couldn't do anything for him. They
could only sedate him. But he killed the nurse on duty and escaped,
and he came for her. I fought him off, but he refused to let us go.
I grabbed Rebecca, and we ran. I just wanted to get her away from
him. He...he wasn't human, I tell you! He just kept coming at us,
and from the look in his eyes, I knew that he would kill her. We ran
until we reached the beach. I put Rebecca down, and...and...”
    Dax waited for Levi to compose
himself.
    “ He attacked her, like a
monster. He didn't want her. He wanted her life! He was going to
kill her, Dax!”
    Dax nodded gravely. “So
you fought him. Were you in your bear form?”
    “ Yes.” Levi
grabbed his head and started to tug at his short, blond hair in
agitation. “I...I didn't even realized that I'd shifted to my
bear form. I just wanted to protect her! That was the only thing on
my mind. When he came at her, I just slashed out with my claws,
trying to get him away from her. I was in a frenzy, just slashing
and biting and fighting. I wanted to get him away from her. He
would never, never touch her again! The bastard!”
    Levi stopped, rocking himself
on his chair. He squeezed his eyes shut, his face contorted in pain.
Releasing a shuddering breath, he stared at a
