Chapter 17: The Job

COHEN

I leaned forward in my chair and steepled my fingers with my elbows on the desk. Izzy sat on the other side of the desk and stared back at me with a patient expression.

I didn’t like having women in my office where they could do anything they wanted, but this was a necessary evil.

“You’re going to follow Kate around and keep her out of trouble,” I said.

Izzy’s eyes widened. “What if I fail?”

“I expect you probably will, but I need you to try your best.”

Izzy was a capable vampire, I could admit that, but Kate was a mischievous little terror that I doubted anyone could get a handle on.

“Try to be discrete if you can.”

Izzy nodded and I jerked my head towards the door. She stood and left my office.

I really hated Kate.

I hated all women in general, but I really hated Kate. She’d almost gotten Ellie seriously hurt or killed.

And my baby.

Not only that, but every day she managed to make Ellie look bad. Like she was incapable of managing her sister.
