  1. Kelley Armstrong _ Bitten

    When I got to his seat, I stood in back of his chair and waited. It took a couple of minutes before his head jerked up. He sniffed the air, then slowly turned."Boo," I said.He reacted as all mutts react when I confront them. He leapt from his chair and dove for the nearest exit, shaking in terror. In my dreams. He glanced at me and started looking for Clay. It never failed. Mutts only quaked when I appeared because it usually meant Clayton wasn't far behind. I was nothing but a harbinger of doom.

    Then he reached up and tore my shirtfront open."Not much to see, is there?" I said, struggling to talk with a crushed windpipe. "I know, I know, they can fix things like that these days. Call me a feminist, but I think a woman's worth should be defined not by the size of her bust, but-"I rammed my fist up into his Adam's apple. He grunted and stumbled back."-by the strength of her right hook" I said, throwing myself against his chest before he regained his balance.Cain toppled to the ground. As he fell, I stayed on him, slamming my open hand against his neck and pinning him by the throat."Yes, I can talk and think at the same time," I said. "Most people can, though I assume you wouldn't know that from personal experience.

    I'll go," Clay said around a mouthful of cantaloupe. "I've got a package waiting at the post office.""I'm sure you do," I said."He does," Jeremy said. "The postman left a card the other day.""Books I ordered from the U.K.," Clay said."Which you need right now," I said. "For a little light reading between maiming and killing?""They shouldn't sit at the post office," Clay said. "Someone might get suspicious.""Of anthropology texts?

    I envied it; not the idea of having so much money that you could throw it away, but the thought of growing up in a world where someone cared so much about your happiness and so little about what you accomplished in life.

    Where the hell did the Pack find you two? At a beach volleyball tournament? Great tan. Love those curls." LeBlanc shook his head. "He's not even as big as I am. He's what, six foot nothing? Two hundred pounds in steel-toed boots? Christ. I'm expecting some ugly bruiser bigger than Cain and what do I find? The next star. Looks like his IQ would be low enough. Can he chew gum and tie his shoes at the same time?"Clay stopped playing with his chair and turned to face the mirror. He got up, crossed the room, and stood in front of me. I was leaning forward, one hand pressed against the glass. Clay touched his fingertips to mine and smiled. LeBlanc jumped back. "Fuck," he said. "I thought that was one-way glass.""It is."Clay turned his head toward LeBlanc and mouthed three words. Then the door to his room opened and one of the officers called him out. Clay grinned at me, then sauntered out with the officer. As he left, a surge of renewed confidence ran through me."What did he say?" LeBlanc asked."Wait for me.""What?""It's a challenge," Marsten murmured from across the room. He didn't look up from his magazine. "He's inviting you to stick around and get to know him better.""Are going to?" LeBlanc asked.Marsten's lips curved in a smile. "He didn't invite me."LeBlanc snorted. "For a bunch of killer monsters, the whole lot of you are nothing but hot air. All your rules and challenges and false bravado." He waved a hand at me. "Like you. Standing there so nonchalantly, pretending you aren't the least bit concerned about having the two of us in the room.""I'm not.""You should be. Do you know how fast I could kill you? You're standing two feet away from me. If I had a gun or knife in my pocket, you'd be dead before you had time to scream.""Really? Huh."LeBlanc's cheek twitched. "You don't believe me, do you? How do you know I'm not packing a gun? There's no metal detector at the door. I could pull one out now, kill you, and escape in thirty seconds.""Then do it. I know, you don't like our little games, but humor me. If you have a gun or a knife, pull it out. If not, pretend to. Prove you could do it.""I don't need to prove anything. Certainly not to a smart-mouthed-"He whipped his hand up in mid-sentence. I grabbed it and snapped his wrist. The sound cracked through the room. The receptionist glanced over, but LeBlanc had his back to her. I smiled at her and she turned away."You-fucking-bitch," LeBlanc gasped, cradling his arm. "You broke my wrist.""So I win."His face purpled. "You smug-""Nobody likes a sore loser," I said. "Grit your teeth and bear it. There's no crying in werewolf games. Didn't Daniel teach you that?
