called.
    Wyvern lifted his hind legs and stood up. “Yes, Long-Chi.”
    “It may be prudent to gather stronger evidence of this so-called alliance,” Long-Chi said. “And the king’s true intentions. If they are truly conspiring against us, then, may Apa Dobrý help us all.”
    Wyvern lowered his nozzle and smiled. “I know the perfect subject for the job.”

    Five hours later, Wyvern landed silently above a tall building in Newark, New Jersey. Skyscrapers filled the hazy horizon. Wyvern shook the tiny droplets of rain from his back and changed into his human form. The sound of grunts reached his ears. He was definitely in the right place. He bent his knees and leaped across to the next building, several stories below. His naked feet hit the concrete without a sound. He walked across the flat terrace of the rundown penthouse and peeked through the glass doors. A tall male with dark hair was perched on top of a human woman. His bare ass rammed back and forth, prompting high-pitched cries from his female companion. His well-formed body was adorned by several tattoos, the most striking of which was a silhouette of the moon amongst trees. Very few eyes could spot the angry wolf howling behind it. Wyvern had found who he was looking for. He slid the double doors open. A whiff of stale beer and sweat invaded his nose.
    As soon as the door was open, the man jumped off the bed and crouched low to the ground, baring his sharp teeth at Wyvern. His girlfriend screamed and covered herself with a pillow.
    “What the fuck are you doing here?” he bellowed. “I told you, I’ll pay you next month.”
    “Settle down, wolf,” Wyvern replied. “I have a better offer for you.”

 
    Chapter 5
    The sun was yet to set. Hikuro got to his feet and gave up on trying to sleep altogether. After his little encounter with the dragons in the park the night before, his body was itching for more. He thought the fight would relieve some of the tension, but by Apa Dobrý, how wrong he had been. It had been too fast, too easy. And Sam was still mad at him. For what? For saving her life? Women. That was the exact reason why he was single.
    The thought of her in the hands of those two dracos ignited another wave of rage that threatened to consume Hikuro’s sanity. His fists clenched at his sides, his jaw popped. For a second, he wanted to kill the bastards all over again. At first, Hikuro had watched Sam fight them from the edge of the park. She had started well, her fighting skills were very impressive, but why had she used so much power to blast one adversary when she knew the other one was right on her heels? When Hikuro realized she couldn’t even stand up, let alone fight the bastards, he didn’t waste any time. He had eliminated them like flies on the wall – which made Sam turn on him. By Apa Dobrý, that woman was completely unreasonable! Yes, he had followed her there, and yes, he didn’t trust her, but how could he after the stunt she had pulled on him in New York? She had certainly done something to get him so spellbound. He had never acted so recklessly before. It wasn’t like him to kiss a complete stranger in public. Of course he had been attracted to her – she was stunning after all – but acknowledging her beauty and strutting across a packed nightclub just to taste her mouth are worlds apart. Her mouth. Her delicious pink mouth.
    His fangs suddenly descended of their own accord.
    Right. He needed to feed.
    He reached for one of the duffle bags he had picked up from his safe house last night – after having ensured that Sam was safe and sound in her room, despite her protests. With his knives safely fastened to his ankle, he put on his black pants, a white t-shirt, combat boots and his suit jacket made of pure Italian leather.
    He then opened the bedroom door and drew in a deep breath. He could smell chicken soup and sweat. Human sweat. The kitchen could not be far away. His gums itched, but he forced his fangs to
