Keera watched Worro’shead slowly coming up. His gaze locked on her, sitting in her scrubs, and he said, “Kiki?”
“Yes.”
“Where have you been?”
“Here. They hid me. You took my loss badly.”
He swallowed. “You were covered in blood.”
“When? Then or now?”
“Now.”
“Yes, I was. A lot of people are dead.”
“Did they touch you?”
“Not in a sexual way. They died anyway.”
“You used the wolf?”
“It always wins for shock value, plus I can bite them.” She smiled slightly.
“You never told me you were alive.”
“I tried twice. You couldn’t see me. Then you started sleeping around, and I didn’t want to be close enough to see that.”
Worro froze. “You know about that?”
“Sure. I was at three of the parties where you picked up a girl to bang out some tension. Congratulations.” She smiled. “I hear you are applying to the BDC to be a patron. Congratulations again. Hever’s a solid choice.”
He looked ill. “I am not going to finish my application.”
“Why? She triggers your alpha reflexes and your protective nature.”
Sgoth came in and said, “Keera, your family is here to take you home. They were very worried.”
“So was I.” Keera smiled, and she got to her feet. “Glad you are back to yourself, Worro. Glad Krix was able to get you out on a mission. Have a nice life.”

Worro watched her leave. Shy Kiki looked up at him. “Are you actually serious?”
