Chapter 41

Ah, there&039;s my boy"

Jessica and I stared at each other, then Sinclair It was al olves I was a little curious and was interested in going outside, but Jessica was understandably nervous and had practically barricaded herself in the downstairs library

And what a library! I swear, it was at least half the size of the New York City Public Library Towering bookshelves,it was er because it had been empty except for Jessica, me, and the baby In fact, the mansion was practically deserted But occasionally we could hear faint wolf howls fro in and actually holding his arms out for BabyJon, formerly his number one rival for my affection

"Your boy?" I asked, and Jessica raised her eyebrows

"You know," Sinclair said, hovering over the baby andhis education"

"He can&039;t even walk yet," Jessica pointed out

"Oh, I get it BabyJon is invulnerable to paranor interest in his well-being"

"Elizabeth, you&039;ve got " Sinclair had the nerve to look and sound wounded "As your husband, and his co-guardian, it&039;s ht by this boy"

"Sure it is" I handed BabyJon over and Sinclair was so startled he juggled the baby for a few seconds before holding hi"

"Ah"

"Don&039;t even try to wiggle out of it," I warned "I&039;ve been dying to get out of here and walk around Think you two can handle the kid for half an hour?"

"One of us can," Jessica said with a sly wink

"So smells awful," Sinclair moaned, and I practically sprinted out of the library before he could hear ht-cool, with clear skies The e and white There wasn&039;t a cloud anywhere, and the stars seehter and closer than they ever had been

I started walking on the saroundThanks toand fucking all over the place Two of the Chase Me, but they limpse of tan fur and lots of teeth

I must be out of my mind

Well, that was always a possibility But for once I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I, too, was fast and strong I suppose if a few hundred of theed up on me I could be in serious trouble, but Jeannie had toldthe full moon They retained their hus er became fury; happiness beca, innocent bystanders didn&039;t get eaten

Not that I was exactly innocent, but I think you knohat I&039; with huobs of mutilated corpses were found after each full est wolf I&039;d ever seen step out of the woods and block ht fur-alreen eyes I&039;d ever seen It was powerfullyatOf course-what had I expected?

"I, uh, come in peace"

Then I realized where I&039;d seen those eyes before-Derik

Great A ho was pissed atmy path Ah, what a week!
