Cole and His Dog

“Even if I was only around to teach him what being a shifter entails—and that was my original mission—it wouldn’t. Now that I’ve…” Ky shook his head. “Okay, I’ll think about moving him. When it comes down to it, however, it’s his decision.”


Ky frowned angrily. “Okay, tell me again what your boss said.” From what Cole had just told him, Larry had been proven right.


“That someone came looking for me at work,” Cole replied. “He claimed to be a family friend. Luckily Mike got bad vibes from him, so he told the guy I’d quit.”


“That does notmean he didn’t stick around to see if that was the truth.”


“Yeah. That’s what I told Mike,” Cole replied. “He’s changed my hours so I’m not coming back here after dark.”


“You’re not coming back here at all, after tonight.”


“Excuse me?” Cole folded his arms over his chest. “Why not?”


Ky gave him the gist of what Larry had said. When he finished, Cole immediately went over to close the blinds on the windows.
