Chapter 208

EXT. - 27 CLUB - LATE NIGHT

Benedict stood on the rooftop across the street from Club 27, arms crossed over his chest. It was almost closing time. Kinsey would be emerging shortly. He would do his duty, follow the young DanAllart heir home and guard over her in her sleep.

She had no idea how many times he'd kept her safe. No clue the Collective sent messengers, assassins, infiltrators in her path almost weekly. And she didn't need to know.

That was his job.

"Master." Billy panted next to him, unable to fully shed the habits of his natural form. "Your orders?"

Kinsey was his responsibility. But, Margot made it clear the other two were just as valuable, if not as vital.

"Follow and guard," he said. Billy grunted, Amber beside him. The brother and sister sighed from slim, red-haired human teenagers into large, black dogs with glowing red eyes. He ignored them as they leaped over the edge of the building to the dumpster far below, the fall one that would kill a normal dog.
