“Really?”

“Then again, you did go pissed off werewolf on me while you were caged.”

“My rage was never directed at you.” He couldn’t blame her for being scared of him. She’d been the only person in the room and caged, his wolf raged for escape.

“I want to believe you, but I’ve never worked with a werewolf.”

“I promise not to bite.” I’ll save that pleasure for later.

He glanced around. “Is that another room?”

; Gaby nodded. “That’s my private apartment for long work nights.”

He smiled. “I’ll give myself a quick tour.”

“Wait!”

Kane raced ahead, tilted his head and sniffed. “Nice digs.” He winked.

Gaby rolled her eyes.

He finished inspecting her apartment and entered her office. “Maybe I should stay overnight?”

“It’s only one bedroom.”

“Get me a bigger one.” He pointed his chin to a small dog’s bed near her desk. “I don’t mind sleeping in wolf form.”

“I don’t have a dog bed your size. Anyway, until Director Giles gets back, you need to stay in a secured room.”

He sighed. “Yeah, the doc told me I’m moving. No more cage, but a locked room. Either way still prison.”

Gaby averted her gaze and sighed. “I’m sure it will be one of our suites.”

He smelled the tang of guilt. “As long as I have room to shift.”

“How can you just shift without the painful transformation you see in every werewolf movie?”

He shrugged. “Not sure. Except, it feels as natural as changing clothes.”

“Apparently, you don’t need to wait for the full moon.” She snorted. “Like in all those old monster movies.”

“I just will it and I shift.”

“Interesting.” She nodded. “Actually, some of the newer werewolf movies leave the full moon out of the picture.”

“Good to note.” Kane observed a framed picture of her holding a small terrier. She looked happy. Beautiful smiling lips. He sniffed. “Where is your little dog?”

Her mouth down turned. “Oz died about a month ago.”

“Sorry.”

Gaby sighed. “Old age.” She turned on a computer and the wall screen. “Have a seat.”

At least she didn’t use the command, “sit.” Kane sat on the chair in front of the screen and she at the computer console. “So what are you going to show me?”

“I’ll start with places, people and maybe throw in wolf images.”
