“You’re not going anywhere. We’ll talk to Callum.”

“That was Callum.”

All the words that had been in my mouth ready to come up with a solution turned to dust on my tongue.

Of course.

Of course it had been Callum.

“No.”

He pushed himself up and looked around the room. “I have to go.”

“Wilder, it’s nine o’clock at night, you don’t need to go anywhere right now.”

He gave me a look that simply said he wasn’t going to argue with me, but that I was wrong.

“Then I’ll come with you,” I said, getting to my feet,

“No.”

“Well how long are you going to be gone?” I knew the answer before asking the question. Alpha as a job for life. When the king gave you that role, you were in it forever. I’d be Alpha of New Orleans as long as I lived, and now so too would Wilder.

In Shreveport.

He looked at me, his face dark and unreadable, and then he left the room. About fifteen minutes later he came back with a duffle bag and stopped in the kitchen, staring at the door, not looking at me. His whole body was coiled with tension.

“I really wanted us to have it, you know?” he said.

“Have what?” I could barely forced the words from my lips.

“One good week where nothing went wrong.”

Then he walked out of the kitchen, and a moment later his motorcycle roared to life before vanishing into the night.

I sat back down on the couch, looking at the two glasses of wine, the untouched pizza, and the paused TV.

I waited, hoping he’d change his mind.

When twenty minutes ticked by and he still hadn’t returned, I turned off the TV, put the pizza in the fridge, and grabbed my car keys.

At this time of night I could get to Shreveport in five hours.

I wasn’t coming back without him.

Thanks for reading Black-Hearted Devil! I hope you enjoyed the ongoing saga of Genie, Wilder, and the rest of the Louisiana wolves (and the return of Secret!). Genie will be back, but Secret will be back first in Secret Lives, out December 6, 2018.
