"Noted Where are we?" He glanced around the roolass works We’ve been taken by what I assu"

Wolfe cursed and then whipped around, vengeance burning in his blue gaze "Did any of the about Little Sin "I knocked out the one who tried"

Wolfe quirked an eyebrow "Knocked out?"

I quickly told him how I had incapacitated Jesper and then launched the mallet at Little Sin Wolfe shook his head in amazement "Perhaps I should let the men train you," he murmured

Surprised, I smirked back at him "I told you so"

He rolled his eyes "Can you never take anything graciously?"

I snorted "Not fro in et out of here, Rogan"

Ignoring the shiver that rushed down antly onto the floor, trying to ?" I could hear the aht you could use your teeth to get the ropes offan, please tellHave you seen how thick this rope is?"

"Well how else are we-"

I hushed at the sound of a key turning in the lock, and barely registered as Wolfe brought a leg up, pulling s with a sense of being shielded I felt his indrawn breath on the back of ainst the tension inopen At first I couldn’t ure of a o a yelp of surprise

I recognised those green eyes and jet black hair, that defiant smirk They were just all now in a taller, older man with a harder face that was no less handsoasped

The s hed a little hysterically, relief flooding through rasped e eyes wide on runted fro us?"

Stunned, he sank back onto his heels, taking a moment It was then realisation struck

"Your Boss?" I asked softly, trying to keep the condemnation out of my question

Kir must have heard the accusation anyway, for he flinched and looked away "Yeah," he adled to be seen fro hi not to inhale that wonderful woody spice that was all Wolfe "So, any intention of letting us go then?"

Kir turned to Wolfe and they shared a long look "I can’t believe it’s you How are you?"

I was surprised by how congenial the tere, considering Wolfe’s father was Syracen and the fact that Kir had had to live with the bastard for a year There seemed to be so much more in Kir’s question than I understood

Wolfe nodded slowly "I’ to shake hi his cheeks He gestured at et those off of you"

I shito use a blade, so keep still"

As soon as I was loose, Kir moved around me and freed Wolfe He eyed the top of Wolfe’s head and frowned "I told theaze flickered over Wolfe as he slapped hiotten, they probably had no choice"

Wolfe grunted and stuood to see you, Kir… why the hell did you have us kidnapped?"

Feeling lost in this reunion, I too slowly rose tothe two men as they faced off with another There was no tension or animosity between them In fact they both appeared happy to see each other in one piece I was growing steadilybetween us both "I didn’t knoas you I got word that a fancy gent and lady were here and I knew the Markiz would be interested"

I gaped, feeling disorientated and lost "The Markiz?"

Kir nodded gri in Vasterya for a while now, Rogan"

Wolfe growled, "Changing how?"

Gesturing to the bed, Kir slumped down into the armchair As I took a seat beside Wolfe on the bed I realised howof the sae It was alh had made a physical impression on him

"Who do you think set the rookery up, Wolfe?" Kir exhaled slowly, see to explain this

I was still completely lost but Wolfe drew in a breath, "Markiz Solom"

"What?!" I squeaked, any colour inco about? Why would the Markiz create the rookery?
