Chapter 242
Xander
I didn’t trust this shifty looking little p rick.
“Human,” I muttered to Lanie through the link. “Untrustworthy, backstabbing, human.”
She didn’t answer me.
Taking a few steps forward and keeping her voice pitched low, Lanie approached the guy although I put my hand on her to keep her behind me. No way was I letting her get in grabbing distance of this guy. He smelled like microwave burritos and unwashed feet. Greasy little punk.
His eyes glittered as he waved a flashlight in our direction. Of course he’d need that to see in the dark with his weak little human eyes. I felt my canines dropping and let my lips draw back so he’d be sure to see
them.
“Xander,” Lanie said warningly.
“Hi, hi,” the human said quickly, putting up both hands. “Listen, I don’t want no trouble. I’m just here to deliver the candy. Okay? That’s it. No trouble from me, okay?”

“I can smell his fear. He’s not going to try anything to hurt us,” Lanie thought toward me. Out loud, she said, “You have instructions for us?”
The little as shole was dancing nervously from foot to foot. “Yeah, yeah. I gotta make sure you’re the uh… the right…customers, though.”
“It’s the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. Who the f uck else would we be?” I growled, towering over him with my fists clenched and my teeth fully out.
“Dam mit!” Lanie whisper-shouted. “Back the f uck up off him!”
A pulse of her energy centered between my shoulder blades and at the base of my spine, yanking me back a few steps as easily as if she’d used her hands. My hackles rose. I knew tensions were high, sure, but the fact she could compel me like that, even for a few seconds…
“I need you to be with me on this,” she said through the link. “We’re going to give this guy what he needs so he can give us the wolvesbane and the herbs, and we’re going to get back home. Please stop wolfing out. Can’t you see he’s terrified? He’s no threat to us.”
“Of course he’s not. I could break him in half with one hand.”
“But you won’t,” she said.
“Uh…guys?” The little sh it said, looking back and forth from Lanie to me. He put his hands up. “I don’t
want no trouble.”
“You said that already.” The words clipped out of me, sharp as knives, but I backed up.

“It ought to be halitosis,” I muttered.
He backed up another step. “That ain’t it. Look, I’m just here to do a job, okay? I got bills to pay, same as youse. And believe you me, the last thing I wanna do is pi ss off a barker, okay?”
My claws bit into my palms. “The f uck did you just call me?”
“A woofer, a…s hit, man!” The guy whined. “I’m f ucking nervous, okay? You’re over there looking at me like you want to gobble me up and use the bones to pick your teeth!”
“He’s not going to hurt you, so long as you give us what I paid for.” Lanie’s voice was soothing.
