The Wolf at His Door (Book One of The Runes Trilogy) Excerpt
Alec
walked through the front door of Lucy and Rene’s third-floor apartment. Alec
loved the open feel of their apartment—the ceilings opened to the roof peak,
and skylights offered sunlight down into the room even on cloudy days. Rough-hewn
wooden beams crossed the ceiling from wall to wall, where the wall met the
roofline, affording the apartment an industrial chic look.
Celeste
and Lucy sat on the couch. Alec felt a certain apprehension as he entered the
room and Celeste and Lucy looked up (and it almost seemed planned to Alec)
smiling in a too friendly manner. “Where’s Adam?” Celeste said.
“On his
way,” Alec said and squatted on the floor next to Sam and Rene. “‘Sup?”
They
both nodded. “Just chilling right now,” Rene said, and they bumped fists.
“Sandman,”
Sam added. “Lucy was just telling us about her master’s thesis on semiotics.”
Sam flashed him a “save us” look.
Alec
stifled a smirk. “My sister loves
anthropology.”
“And
languages,” Lucy corrected.
“Hey, I
hope you don’t mind, but I invited my friend to join us,” Celeste said.
Alec
felt the muscles in his back go rigid. “Look, guys, we talked about this. I
don’t—”
Sam cut
in, “Jared’s cool.”
A
quizzical look crossed Rene’s face as he watched the exchange, then he shrugged
as his eyes met Alec’s.
Alec
heard footsteps on the stairs outside. “That’s Adam coming. I’ll give him a
hand.”
“I
didn’t hear anything,” Rene said.
“He’s
got fucking bat ears, man,” Sam said.
Alec
crossed the long living room to the front door. “Need a hand, Adam?” He asked
as he yanked the door open. A young man, about his own age, (maybe a little
older, Alec thought) stood at the door with his hand raised, about to knock. A
plain white V-neck tee shirt hugged his torso, and Alec could see sprouts of
chest hair in the V. Black rimmed glasses framed his eyes and his glossy dark
hair was parted on the side and slicked back. His scruffy beard added an air of
carelessness to an otherwise polished look.
His eyes
met Alec’s and his face brightened with a warm smile that made his green eyes
sparkle. “Knock, knock,” he said.
Alec
leaned out the door, “I was expecting my brother.”
“Jared,”
the young man said, extending his hand.
Alec
shook it. “Nice to meet you.” Alec turned his head, quickly shooting a
narrow-eyed glance at Lucy and Celeste. They both blinked innocently. He turned
back to Jared. “Celeste said you were coming.”
“Ah, she
warned you.”
“Did I
need warning?”
Jared
gave another easy smile. “Perhaps.”
