Beatrice shrugged. “Honestly? Don’t know. I’d love a good night’s sleep, but…” She shuddered at the memory of Hendricks sneaking into hers we need to figure out where we’ll be staying. I’ve only got so much cash on me right now.”

“Oh, well, that’s easy,” the blond laughed. “You’re staying with me, obviously.”

Tairy had already dismissed Beatrice and turned to Riaghaire. Since she trusts you, I guess I should too. Make sure she gets to my place safe; the faster,

the better.”

“As you wish,” he replied with another nod. “Do you believe the wolves will make an attempt on her?”
