"Joshua"

"You turned down ten Sentinels for a hu to hide the disbelief in his tone

"Joshua’s scent can help roup of soldiers would have drawn every fking Alpha and demon for miles," he explained as pressed the code to open the door

"True, but they weren’t exactly going to drag their asses back here to give anyone a chance to lock onto their scent"

Ephraied "I’m also less likely to tear his throat open if he pisses me off"

Chapter 35

"See? That wasn’t so bad, was it?" Chris asked in a chipper tone as he gently, but quickly pried her off of him "As much as I’d love to cuddle, Munchkin, we have to haul ass"

"I Hate You," she bit out, wishing her da so that she could kick his ass and she was pretty daer and faster now

Okay, ht now she wanted her body to stop shaking and her heart to stop trying to beat its way out of her chest She shoved her hair out of her face and chanced a look up and alht then and there She could not believe they dropped, no correction, jumped from that the third floor

It had forty or fifty feet up

They should have been killed or seriously hurt, but she didn’t have a le bruise later She was pretty da a Sentinel and everything to do with the way Chris took theainst hi the hit and rolled the she’d ever done in her life and she never wanted to do it again

"Aw, thanks, Munchkin That was really sweet, but we have to get going now," he said, grabbing a Ziploc baggie out of his bag and tossed his cell phones and wallet in it before stuffing the baggie in his front pocket As he walked over to her bag and picked it up she couldn’t help but notice that he was li or that his jaas set fir if maybe they weren’t so lucky with that jurabbed her bag and handed it to her "Just a few aches, Munchkin Nothing to worry about, besides the cold water will help"

"Cold water?" she ht and felt her jaw drop He couldn’t be serious

Oh, but he was

He grabbed her hand and hauled her right behind hi wet, freezing and wondering when he’d lost his damn mind When he didn’t cut across the river like she expected hih the water, this tiainst the current she wondered if he’d hit his head during the drop

"What the hell are we doing, Chris?" she demanded as she slipped on a slimy rock and almost went face first in the water Thankfully Chris yanked her back to her feet before that happened

"We’re using the water to cover our scents," he explained, sounding a little out of breath, which was understandable she supposed since h level water was a bit of a workout
