---- Chapter 336 "What do you want to do?" What | wanted to do was go back inside and find her and talk to her. | wanted to know where she had been, how she had survived, what she had been doing for ten years. | wanted to know why she had never come back, why she had let me search that river, why she had stood there in that courtyard and looked me in the eye and then turned away. | had a lot of questions.

She saw me and she recognized me and she just-looked away." "I noticed." looked at him. "Why would she do that?" He pressed his lips together. "I don't know." | looked in the rearview mirror as the house faded into the distance. Avery was somewhere in there, and | was just going to .» leave? ---- What if she needed me? What if she was here against her own will? I'd seen the way those guards treated her, and I'd heard about her reluctance to work with werewolves; what if she was in danger?
