Page 39 of Virgin for Next Door Wolf Daddy
“Do we have time to check your cameras?” he asked.
“Sure.”
She pulled her laptop out of her briefcase and entered the password. Sebastian took the device from her and put it on the trunk of her car. He found the camera app and rewound the cameras to just before two.
“I can see the shadow of whoever it was, but they obviously knew you had cameras and where they were installed. There’s no way to see who it might be. Damn it,” he said. “Why didn’t you call me?”
She shrugged. “I looked out and didn’t see anyone. The police didn’t see anyone. I didn’t want to wake you up.”
He nodded and held her chin in his hand. “Honey, I don’t care what time it is or whether you think you are hearing things, you call me the second something’s not right, okay?”
The worried look in his eyes made her feel guilty. “I promise.”
He walked around the house, pointed out the same boot prints as before, and took pictures with his phone. “This is definitely not a random burglar. Someone is after you.”
Anger exploded inside of her. It was one thing to be a controlling jerk. It was quite another to stalk her and try to scare her. She was pretty sure that Sebastian was angrier than she was.
“If it’s Darius, I’m not afraid. I can take him down pretty easily.”
“It’s still not okay that he’s here harassing you.”
“True. I’ll press charges if we can prove it.”
She glanced at her car as they walked toward his truck.
“The good thing is I have good insurance.”
They hopped in his truck and she called the insurance company and told them what happened. Jack, from Road Safe Assurance, promised that they would have someone out in an hour and that she didn’t need to be there. He would send the paperwork through email.
She’d just got off the phone when it blinged. Talia checked it, expecting to see a notification that the email had been sent. Instead, it was a message from Darius. She growled.
I love you and I miss you.
Talia shook her head and her fingers flew over the letters on her phone. I told you we were done. Do not contact me again and do not come to my home.
“What was that about?”
“Darius. I told him not to contact me again and to stay away from my home.”
“Will he listen?”
Talia sighed. “I honestly don’t know.”
She leaned her head against the seat and closed her eyes. It had already been a long day and it was barely eight.
“Maybe you should think about calling in,” he suggested.
Shaking her head, Talia replied, “It’s too late for a sub. The other teachers would have to give up their planning period to cover my class, and I don’t want that to happen. Besides, I’m not going to let some jerk interfere with my life.”
Talia clocked in and went to the library.
“Good morning,” Sadie said brightly.
“I hope you’re having one. Mine’s been awful.” She told Sadie about the early morning intruder and the surprise he left for her.
“You’re right. You should get a dog. Micah and Angie support a no-kill shelter. Lana and Paul, the couple who runs the place, would be glad to match you with the perfect, furry friend.”
Micah and Angie were billionaires. Micah was a member of the Nightshade Wolf Shifter Pack and had recently married Lucy, who he had hired to be a surrogate for him. Angie was still a part of the pack, even though she was human, but she had married the alpha of a pack in the shifter world and belonged to that, too. She liked to say that she had dual citizenship. Angie often came back to the human world to take care of the charities she and Micah sponsored together.
