Chapter 789

• Zain closed the door and put on the three locks. Leaning back against it, he fought to catch his breath. He knew he was just spooked and probably overreacting, but when the man looked at him for that long, there was no way he was taking the elevator. He needed to add running up stairs to his workout.
• Leaning over on his knees, he took a few deep breaths and tried to settle his breathing. It was a stupid idea to go and try to see the prisoner. He knew it but had still done it. Barack was right in not letting him go to speak with him. What would he have said to him? Zain had no idea. When the man looked at him through the bars and watched him talk to Barack, Zain’s wolf was right there. He hadn’t realized that his animal would react like that. He’d wanted to rip the man’s throat out.
• Standing up, Zain went over and set his backpack on the sofa. Of course, his wolf wanted to kill him. That man was involved in his only family member’s deaths. Whether he did it or not, Zain didn’t care. Closing his eyes, he nodded when he remembered Shepard Addison telling him that if he needed to blame anyone, to blame the Tomas family. Any shifters working with them were only doing it for one of three reasons. The first he’d said was fear. Zain opened his eyes and looked around the room, trying to figure out what to do. The second, he recalled, was greed. They honestly thought they were on the right side and going to profit somehow. He turned on his heel and went into his bedroom. The last reason was the one that Zain was starting to understand. Revenge. People often did the wrong things for revenge.
