Chapter 1
Marissa had been pacing in her cell for days. Her mind wasn’t used to inactivity, and her body wasn’t used to small places. She would pace for a time in her human form, then shift into her werecat form. Agilely, she would pounce from wall to wall, claws clinging to the stone, causing indentations. She’d hang from the light fixture briefly before dropping to all fours and mewling loudly, her indignation at such small quarters. Her fur, the color of a stormy day, was thick and beautiful, and her green eyes glared out of her head with human indignity.
Human contact had been kept to a minimum; she saw the guards three times a day when they brought her food, but none of them spoke to her. She’d never really had friends; her career had been time-consuming. Besides, as the second in command, reprimanding underlings was part of her job, so very few weres liked to be around her. She was known for her harshness. Two had come to visit: the Head, to ask her what the hell she’d been thinking, and her assistant, Bobby, to bring her essential items she’d need during captivity.
“I have no answer for you, sir,” Marissa had claimed when the Head had asked her the question. Silence could sometimes save you, she had always believed, so her answers had all been noncommittal or vague.
“But to intentionally endanger another were? You’ve always been such a stout believer in protecting weres,” the Head had continued. “Please tell me this wasn’t about Nathan and jealousy.”
Marissa’s head had come up, and her face had pinched closed. She’d pursed her lips. “I still believe in the protection of weres who deserve our protection.”
The Head had shaken his head; he’d known she wouldn’t answer the question about Nathan. “Marissa, please consider what I’m offering. Banishment isn’t the worst thing that could happen. If this goes to trial, you could be imprisoned for a very long time.”
Marissa had smiled viciously. “I won’t go to prison. And I won’t leave the city.”
The Head had stared at her, brows furrowed. He’d asked himself if that statement had been the delusional belief of a woman who had succumbed to her emotions, or if it had been a threat, a warning, that she was planning something. He had said his good byes, and unknown to Marissa, had warned the guards that she might be planning an escape, to be on high alert, and to let him know if and when she had any visitors.
Now, Marissa shifted back to human form, choosing to remain unclothed for the duration of her imprisonment. As proud of her human body as she was of her feline body, Marissa, like most weres, enjoyed nudity, but city living often made it an impossibility. She stroked her hands down her waist, smiling to herself as she thought of the differences between her body and Lucy’s. She was trim, athletically so, while Lucy was curvy with a big ass, big t*ts, and, though she hated to admit it, gorgeous skin.
Whatever, Marissa thought. I’m so much hotter than she is. I don’t understand Nathan’s infatuation with her at all. He’s an idiot. But those thoughts didn’t comfort her; he didn’t want her, he wanted Lucy. And for that, the two of them would have to pay.
The door at the end of the hallway banged open. Marissa glanced at the clock; too early for lunch. She must have a visitor. As the thought passed through her mind, Bobby stepped into view. Marissa watched his eyes as he looked her up and down lasciviously, a smirk on her lovely face. When his eyes met hers, they were bolder than they’d been before. Her smirk changed to a seductive smile.
“Hi, Bobby,” she purred at the werebear in front of her. She sauntered closer to the door of her cell, which consisted of bars while the rest of her room was walls. “I’m glad you came down to see me.”
Bobby grinned foolishly at her. “Good morning, Marissa. I’ve brought the things you asked for.” He handed her a tote bag filled to the top. “The guards pulled everything out and shoved it all back in, so it’s a mess.”
Marissa sighed, her face that of a woman gravely injured by their lack of trust. “Do they think you’re going to smuggle in a knife or something?” She began unpacking her bag, putting her personal items in the cabinet or on the bedside table.
Bobby shrugged. “Who knows? They didn’t dig through the first bag I brought you. And they’ve never patted me down before either.”
Marissa lifted an eyebrow at him. “Hmmm. Seems someone thinks I’m planning an escape.”
“Would seem so, yes,” Bobby answered with a smirk. “Did you finish the book I gave you last week?”
“I did. Could you bring me another tomorrow? I’m bored out of my mind,” Marissa told him. She grabbed the book off her bed and handed it to him, her eyes conveying the message he expected.
“Will do. Anything else you need?”

“Nothing but a new book,” she replied with a smile.
He returned the smile. “Ok, then, I’m going to go ahead and go. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He turned to leave, his mind urging him to open the book, but he couldn’t until he was out of the prison area. Really, out of the building. He marched out quickly without speaking to anyone. He climbed in his car and turned it on before opening the book.
Inside were the detailed plans of Marissa’s escape. He read the simple ideas, marking changes as he did. He smiled and headed to the book store. The book he bought would have the time, date, and any changes needed. Soon, he thought, she’ll be free again and we can continue with our plans.

Lucy smiled at the old couple as she deposited their chocolate cake with two forks on the table. She made small talk with the businesswoman seated at the table behind them, and refreshed the coffee of the pair of college students studying together for whatever final they had coming up. Overall, not a bad afternoon crowd. Her tips had been solid, but she looked forward to the end of her shift. She had a date with Nathan tonight.
