      Desired by the Pack - Emma Storm

      1

      Sweat and flesh and sex. Too many words, too much razor-sharp laughter, too human. Anders blocked as much as he could but the odors and noises of the over-crowded bar turned his stomach.

      He walked shoulder to shoulder with Jared as they cut a path through the drunken mass. Allan, the arson investigator who was their mostly-human connection in the local government, waited for them at the bar. Outside would have been a better meeting place but the lot full of motorcycles and shady figures cutting deals was no place for a lone man to wait. Jared called this safety in numbers, but there was nothing safe about this many humans in one place.

      Ahead of them, a scuffle broke out between three women and a man, halting the Guardians’ progress. Anders looked around while waiting for the fight to break up. He’d first caught scent of January in this bar, but tonight nothing smelled of his mate.

      A woman made eye contact with him. She dipped her finger into her drink, trailed it between her breasts, and sucked the entire length into her mouth without looking away. His wolf, confused by the display, bared its teeth. At the last minute, Anders turned his head. The energy in the crowd rippled.

      Jared shot him a sideways look. That was an invitation, not a challenge.

      It was an insult to my mate. The fight had scaled back to a shouting match. Tuning out the voices, Anders searched for Allan’s familiar face.

      We’re not wearing marks anyone here would recognize. Jared jerked his chin toward the bar. I see him. Come on.

      Anders rolled his shoulders and put the lewd woman out of his mind. Focused on keeping a tight leash on his wolf, he let Jared lead and followed him through an opening off to the right of the argument.

      Allan sat on a stool, looking at everything and nothing at once. In the human world, he was a fire inspector. Anders wasn’t really sure what inspecting fires entailed but Allan’s connections had proven useful to the Guardians on more than a few occasions. He was the man who had brought the Guardians to January, in this very place, something Anders figured warranted a nod of respect.

      Allan returned the gesture by touching two fingers to his temple, something Anders had seen Beck do. A human gesture of acknowledgment.

      You two drinking anything? Allan asked.

      Jared shook his head and straddled the stool beside the Allan. Not tonight. Best to make this a quick in and out.

      Allan glanced at Anders. Maybe so.

      Your message said you had something of interest, Jared said, getting down to business. More unusual fires?

      Yes, but I think you all might have more important things to deal with. There’s been another sighting. Media hasn’t picked it up.

      Another? Anders swallowed a growl. Two months earlier, someone had filmed a rogue shifter fleeing the scene of a fire. The shifter had worn a form Anders had never seen, an unnatural shape later revealed to be the result of the mysterious man-made drug Mutatio. The world was not ignorant of shifters, but their safety from human hunters depended upon invisibility. Media coverage did not help with that.

      Jared grimaced. Not that I’m complaining, but any idea why?

      Maybe some ideas. Allan reached into the breast pocket of the thin jacket he wore and pulled something out. Anders caught a glimpse of something black wrapped up tight in a clear plastic package, small enough to hide in Allan’s fist, before Allan passed it to Jared. Don’t open that here. Take it with you and have a look.

      Where’d you find this?

      In the debris of a fire at the docks. It was locked in a fire proof box, along with a spoon and a syringe.

      Heroin? Jared glanced down at his fist.

      Anders moved, providing blocking Jared from view of curious human eyes. Is that where the rogue was sighted?

      Yes.

      The package was a bag folded over and over on itself to make a lumpy square, and it contained what looked like small bits of coal. When Jared tilted his hand, something in the bag seemed to sparkle.

      It’s no heroin I’ve ever seen, Allan said. But I’ve heard rumors about something new on the market.

      Mutatio, Jared muttered.

      That’s the name I’ve heard. Allan picked up his glass, then put it back down without taking a drink. It’s not a rumor, is it?

      No. Have you heard reports of it in other cities?

      Something tickled the back of Anders’ neck. He rubbed the shaggy line of his hair and looked over his shoulder. The woman who’d tried to fuck him with her eyes wasn’t looking at him anymore, but a few of the men standing behind her were.

      One of the men seemed familiar, and he didn’t know how that was possible. The group looked like half the other groups in the bar. Muscular
