It was Adamant who had woken Uther; Adamant, growling a low, dangerous growl, her head dipped between her shoulders, alertness rippling through her body like tension in a spring.

Chase could sense Old Lace wanting to come to his side--the dog had surprised him and usually that was all the creature needed to come bounding along, ready to maul whatever stood in his way. But the cold was giving her pause.

Chase thought for a moment, bright blue eyes narrowing in the growing darkness. Only what light filtered in from the streets reached this far back into the back into the park. There were no stars; clouds draped heavy and low from one edge of the horizon to the other. The guy looked to be about his age, which precluded him from the almost literal ‘never trust anyone over 20’ rule Chase had lived by for the last year ( ... )
