shitty things had become.
    “You son of a bitch!” she bellowed as she reeled up and tried to slap him.
    He caught her wrist easily. “Where’s Hannah?”
    “Where’s Hannah? You fuckwit! Like I’d tell you where my cousin is! You bastard! You totally screwed with her last night.”
    “Dani, right?” Mayhem fought to control his temper, deflecting it in short pants rather than lash out on anyone human. Hannah had talked about her cousin Dani quite a bit the night before, and it was obvious that the two were very close. “I didn’t intend for this to happen.”
    Dani yanked her wrist away and scowled at him. “You fucked her, you ditched her, and then you sent some fucking tickets to her… What exactly didn’t you intend to happen?”
    Mayhem motioned toward the hallway. “Let’s not do this here. I’ve got a dressing room.”
    Dani raised her hands up. “Oh no, I’m not going with you anywhere. Do you honestly think I’d want to be alone with the fucking bastard who broke my cousin’s heart?”
    Mayhem bit his bottom lip—hard. “I’m pretty sure your cousin wouldn’t want you broadcasting the state of her heart to a whole stage full of people, now would she?” He motioned to the hallway again. “Please, I’m only asking for five minutes.”
    Dani glanced around, seeming to finally realize there was crowd of people who’d stopped to watch the show. “Fine. Five minutes. I’ve got some questions for you anyway.”
    She followed him into his dressing room, muttering and hissing the whole way. Shooting demands the second he closed the door.
    Her questions were intrusive to say the least but also obviously necessary in her mind. “What do you mean, you won’t get tested?”
    Mayhem leaned up against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, pulling back his frustration so he didn’t snap. “As I told you already, I’m not carrying any diseases. I’m clean. There is no reason for me to lie about this. However, if Hannah wants, she can have herself tested to confirm. I will even pay for the blood-work if she requires me to.” He knew it was cold, that his tone brokered no argument. Or at least, his tone should have ended the conversation, but Dani in her fury to defend Hannah’s honor, was like an aggressive little dog, cute and endearing in a way but annoying as all hell. He couldn’t tell her that his werewolf status made his physical properties, including his blood, very different from a human’s. Testing was out of the question.
    “That is unacceptable.” She spat her words, her finger pointed in his direction. “And absolutely fucking insulting.”
    Mayhem sighed, pushed himself from the wall and headed to the mini-bar. She trailed after him.
    “Do you have any idea what you’ve done to her? She’s a fucking mess right now!” Dani scurried in front of him, effectively blocking his access to some much needed booze.
    He bared his teeth, then caught himself and curled his lips into a smile that couldn’t have been pleasant looking. “She was sent the note in error. My manager made a mistake. I’ll fix it tonight. I swear to you I will. Now move out of my fucking way so that I can get us some drinks.” He raised his eyebrows, and nodded to the side. “I think we could both use one.”
    “Do you care about her, Mayhem? Look me in the eyes and answer me. I want to see you say it.”
    There was an edge to her question, a challenge. He had to admit, he liked her fierce personality, her loyalty and protection of Hannah.
    He locked eyes with her, his smile gone. “I love her. And I will fix this. I promise you that.”
    Dani stared at him for a few heartbeats, conflicting thoughts storming in her eyes. “That’s hard to swallow. I can see why she believed it, though. I almost do.” She sucked in a deep breath and let it slide out of her as she stepped to the side. “And yeah, I need a drink.”
    He poured them whiskey straight and handed Dani a glass. They downed the drinks before
