He’s meant to be questioning someone who could have died, instead, he’s unbothered and acting almost bored.
My phone pings and | glance at it.
It's Atticus. He's en route to our place. We needed to get moving.
“Well, Mr Daniels, thanks for your input, too,” the officer says to Zade, who nods before taking my hand. The
officer watches us intently as we take our leave.
“I didn’t like him,” Zade says as we wait for a cab.
It's a little chilly now and despite the jacket I'm wearing, | can feel the cold.

“You're cute when your claws cout,” he teases and | smile, shivering slightly. “Cold? Little Mate?”
“Not really... | can’t believe that took so long... how are you feeling?” | ask as Zade removes his leather jacket
and places it around my shoulders.

“I'm good.”
My heart skips a beat as he readjusts his hood covering his face before placing his arm around my shoulders
loosely.
We're only catching a ride to where his motorbike is parked a few streets away.
It's been a long day and I'm ready for it to end, but that isn’t going to happen since Atticus is visiting.
“Let's grab sfood on the way back. Atticus probably hasn't eaten either” | suggest.
“Sure,” he agrees as he opens the cab door and gets in before sliding over.
| cock a brow, finding that a little weird. | don’t comment on it as he directs the driver before placing a hand on
my knee. He's looking out of the window, and we remain silent until we get to our destination. A spot that Zade

“Oh perfect! We can order from there,” | say as the cab driver slows down.
The cab driver rings up our fare and Zade pays with cash before he leans over and
opens my me, only when both my legs are out, does he get out slamming
Goor for the door shut and swiftly strides around the cab to me?
“Why are you acting weird?” | cock a brow once he’s shut the door.
“If we're going in a cab... I'm always going to be the first one in and you will be the first one out. Safety, Little
Mate. Who knows if the driver is trustworthy?”
“You're careful, but what if something happens toby getting out first?” | ask with amusement, wrapping my
arms around his waist. He holdsfor a moment, cocking a brow.
“I have thought of that. | assess the area a little, but it’s the better option.”
“If you say so,” | respond with a smile as we cross the road and enter the shop.
“Let’s get the grilled platter deal,” | say.
“Sure,” Zade answers before we place our order and | ask what he wants. He doesn’t seem bothered, so | end up
ordering a few sides before we pay and step aside to wait for our order to be packed.
“Doctor Scott?” | freeze as | recognise the voice of one of the nurses from my department.
“Oh, hello Nancy,” | reply, brushing my hair back. | was supposed to be sick today
“What are you doing here? Doctor Owen said you were sick.”
“I was, but then my car got into an accident, so | had to go to the station,” | respond. | can see Zade has his
head turned away, his hood still up, hiding half his face.
“And who's that?” Nancy whispers.

“My boyfriend,” | reply without hesitation.
“Boyfriend?” she looks surprised, and | smile. “He... wow, | never knew you liked the bad boy type. | guess
Doctor Owen will be disappointed. | thought you agreed to be his date for the charity ball?”
Really, Nancy?
Even though Zade doesn’t react, | know he’s hearing it all. “I said I'll have a

“Snob,” she mutters so quietly that a human wouldn’t have heard, but | will be the better person and walk away,
feeling her eyes on us. We collect our bags and Zade pays, although | want to, but he doesn’t let me.

before we head out.

Deciding against it, we head to his bike and he hooks the food bags onto the handle before getting on and |
climb on behind him as we drive home, my stomach a pit of nerves playing out all possible reactions from
Atticus... Goddess help me.
