  Summary

  “You guys have allergies, or anything? Like, bees or nuts or… huh, I don’t actually know what else people can be allergic to. Shellfish? Yay, nay? May-bay? Er, wait, can werewolves even have allergies?”

  Derek starts forward with fists clenched at his sides, but Laura throws out an arm to stop him with a glare of her own. “Why?”

  He shrugs unceremoniously, jerking a thumb back inside the house over his shoulder. “I brought snacks. You like trailmix? It’s got M&M’s, mostly blue ones ‘cause those are the only ones I don’t like. They taste like pencil crayon.”

  “What do you want from us?” Laura asks lowly, stepping in front of Derek as her eyes flare red—ignoring how Derek’s snarling steadily rises in volume.

  “I don’t want anything,” he repeats, emphasizing the ‘I.’ The only reason he’s even hanging around at all is because Kyria found him, followed the trail of his magical energy signature thing, and asked him to keep her company—who knew living as an invisible spiritual force in a derelict, shell of a house could get so lonely?
