and you wanted a fight to prove something. This shit with the pack is a lot on my plate. I’ve not even had my second full moon, and now I’ve got another murder to solve while my team is in training. Oh, and guess what, there’re great white shark shifters.”
    “When was the last time you slept, Sera?” he asked gently as he tucked a strand of my hair blowing wildly from the lakefront breeze behind my ear.
    “Don’t start on me too,” I sighed, pulling away. “This is important stuff I’m dealing with, not watching reruns of Veronica Mars instead of getting my full eight hours’ rest.”
    “I’m not. I’m a friend who’s worried. What can I do to—” he started but then smiled widely, his fangs slightly poking out. “I have a contact. A preternatural specialist, studies rare breeds and knows all about them. I bet he could update your FBI files in no time with all his research. He owes me a favor or twenty for saving his ass when he goes places on fact-finding missions and is too big of a dork to get himself out of any trouble other than rebooting his computer.”
    “I’m listening.” Suddenly I wasn’t so tired as my heart skipped a beat.
    “Forgive me for the late notice of the fight, it being now with the pack shit—which is not my fault by the way—and it’s some circus at the casino, and I’ll get one of his assistants to start updating your files or whatever you were working on with binders Monroe mentioned during your move that said the regular FBI was so interested in.”
    “That was us updating the known criminal database with information about who was paranormal actually,” I chuckled, realizing that was another headache I needed to attend to. Just thinking about it had me rubbing my temples. “Yeah, forgot that’s next week’s project now with the wolves once shooting training moves on to the others on my team and continues on until they’re all qualified.”
    His jaw dropped open and he didn’t say anything a moment until he moved past his surprise. “Jesus, you need a team of eighty for the workload they’re dumping on you, not seventeen.”
    “We have to show we can be useful to start getting a real budget but to be able to be useful I need them trained so they don’t get killed. Until then, only three of us have some training.” I shook my head when he opened his mouth to ask other questions. Noah didn’t have clearance for all of this yet. He was still getting his temporary contract FBI credentials. “The other binders were my project for our office and others as to the truth about paranormals instead of myths and so they’re prepared.”
    “Not all truths, right?” he breathed as his eyes went wide. I didn’t even verbally answer, simply shaking my head. I still wasn’t comfortable keeping from the FBI that it was gold that truly killed paranormals, not silver as the myths spread by non-humans told everyone. “Okay good. So forgive me, and I’ll hook you up with this guy and take this project off your plate.”
    “If his background check clears and he’s solid, then yeah, consider yourself back in my good graces,” I agreed with a smile.
    Noah returned the gesture, looking pleased with himself. I get why he did it. He thought he was going to win the fight and the side bet which meant he was going to be my moon mate and have an extended weekend of full moon sex with me.
    Wouldn’t be much fun if I was pissed at him. But now I was happy because I potentially had more help. And even better news, I got to go home and sleep while the crime scene guys did their thing with the remains since this wouldn’t be a quick and easy identification job.
    When I returned home and crawled into bed with Tristan, I saw a long list on the nightstand in his handwriting titled Things Engle Does That Will Chap Sera’s Ass .
    Lovely, but true.
    It was number ten that finally put the pieces of the puzzle together for me.
