“Well, that’s not my job, but this one is. We’ll contact you if we need to ask anything further. Leave youraddress please,” he says.

Zade takes the paper and I know for a fact he won’t be leaving the correct.

address, and I don’t want him to either. I didn’t like this officer at all. There’s just something off abouthim.

He’s meant to be questioning someone who could have died, instead, he’s unbothered and actingalmost bored.

My phone pings and I glance at it.

It’s Atticus. He’s en route to our place. We needed to get moving.

“Well, Mr Daniels, thanks for your input, too,” the officer says to Zade, who nods before taking myhand. The officer watches us intently as we take our leave.

“I didn’t like him,” Zade says as we wait for a cab.

It’s a little chilly now and despite the jacket I’m wearing, I can feel the cold.

“Me neither.”

“You’re cute when your claws come out,” he teases and I smile, shivering slightly. “Cold? Little Mate?”

“Not really… I can’t believe that took so long… how are you feeling?” I ask as Zade removes his leatherjacket and places it around my shoulders.

“I’m good.”

My heart skips a beat as he readjusts his hood covering his face before placing his arm around myshoulders loosely.

We’re only catching a ride to where his motorbike is parked a few streets away.

It’s been a long day and I’m ready for it to end, but that isn’t going to happen since Atticus is visiting.

“Let’s grab some food on the way back. Atticus probably hasn’t eaten either” I suggest.

“Sure,” he agrees as he opens the cab door and gets in before sliding over.

I cock a brow, replaceing that a little weird. I don’t comment on it as he directs the driver before placing ahand on my knee. He’s looking out of the window, and we remain silent until we get to our destination.A spot that Zade chose a little downi

from where his bike is parked. I spot the Asian food restaurant across the road.

“Oh perfect! We can order from there,” I say as the cab driver slows down.

The cab driver rings up our fare and Zade pays with cash before he leans over and

opens my me, only when both my legs are out, does he get out slamming

Goor for the door shut and swiftly strides around the cab to me?

“Why are you acting weird?” I cock a brow once he’s shut the door.

“If we’re going in a cab… I’m always going to be the first one in and you will be the first one out. Safety,Little Mate. Who knows if the driver is trustworthy?”

“You’re careful, but what if something happens to me by getting out first?” I ask with amusement,wrapping my arms around his waist. He holds me for a moment, cocking a brow.

“I have thought of that. I assess the area a little, but it’s the better option.”

“If you say so,” I respond with a smile as we cross the road and enter the shop.

“Let’s get the grilled platter deal,” I say.

“Sure,” Zade answers before we place our order and I ask what he wants. He doesn’t seem bothered,so I end up ordering a few sides before we pay and step aside to wait for our order to be packed.

“Doctor Scott?” I freeze as I recognise the voice of one of the nurses from my department.

“Oh, hello Nancy,” I reply, brushing my hair back. I was supposed to be sick today

“What are you doing here? Doctor Owen said you were sick.”

“I was, but then my car got into an accident, so I had to go to the station,” I respond. I can see Zadehas his head turned away, his hood still up, hiding half his face.

“And who’s that?” Nancy whispers.

“My boyfriend,” I reply without hesitation.

“Boyfriend?” she looks surprised, and I smile. “He… wow, I never knew you liked the bad boy type. Iguess Doctor Owen will be disappointed. I thought you agreed to be his date for the charity ball?”

Really, Nancy?

Even though Zade doesn’t react, I know he’s hearing it all. “I said I’ll have a

think. Excuse me, Nancy, I got to go,” I say, turning my back on her.

“Snob,” she mutters so quietly that a human wouldn’t have heard, but I will be the better person andwalk away, feeling her eyes on us. We collect our bags and Zade pays, although I want to, but hedoesn’t let me.

I resist rolling my eyes as Zade’s arm snakes around my neck from behind, placing a kiss on the sideof my head before we head out.

I wonder if I should mention the Cassian thing, but if I did, I’d be the one making it into a bigger dealthan it is, right?

Deciding against it, we head to his bike and he hooks the food bags onto the handle before getting onand I climb on behind him as we drive home, my stomach a pit of nerves playing out all possiblereactions from Atticus… Goddess help me.
