Part 11
The whole idea of destroying someone just because you didn't like them because they were a werewolf was more than a little pathetic in Karma's opinion.
He was more inclined to help Cayla than destroy her. He smirked as he stopped in the drive of the Daybreak mansion. He got out, letting the valet park it for him. He was the last person anyone would think of as a spy.
Maybe part of the reason was his outlandish appearance. He didn't care about looks. It wasn't the most important thing in the world to Karma.
He paused by the front door after ringing the bell, reminding himself to ask Lord Thierry for a key or access pass. The valets were still giving him suspicious looks. Karma smirked.
Two girls coming out a side passage caught his eyes. One of them was Cayla. Getting a glimpse of the other he wasn't sure he was seeing right. "Ocean?" he whispered. Ocean. Teaming up with Cayla. Ardon was going to get his ass kicked by a couple of angry puppies. That was certainly going to be something to see.
He pushed the doorbell again, starting to get annoyed. They were sure as hell taking their sweet time. After what seemed like ages, the door finally opened.
"Oh. You." Lupe eyed him dubiously as he stepped inside.
"Isn't it nice to know you've been missed," Karma snorted, smirking.
"I'm assuming you're here for a reason?" Lupe closed the door behind him.
He nodded. "Yeah. Regan Keller is expecting me to help her destroy Cayla Lupine. Something to do with all this soulmate business and Ardon Redfern." He shook his head in disgust.
"Hannah's looking into that. Come on." Lupe led him through the ground floor of the mansion to Thierry's office. She knocked on the door and went in. A few seconds later she beckoned for Karma to come in.
"Lupe tells me you've been asked by Regan Keller to deal with Cayla?" Hannah was sitting on the large desk, legs swinging.
"Yeah. Regan and Astara are having hissy fits over this soulmate thing." He sighed. "It seems to nuts to go so far as to destroy the poor girl."
"Soulmates and love make people do the wacky," Hannah said. Even though her expression was grave, a small smile was pulling at the corner of her mouth.
Karma's eyebrows arched. Okay, the Lady of Circle Daybreak was quoting from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Whatever. When it came to love, Karma wasn't ashamed to admit to being extremely promiscuous and bisexual. He played the filed all the time. He sated his needs when he felt. It was much easier than having to deal with a soulmate or in love.
"I've found a girl who had a similar problem and got over it. She's talking with Cayla now."
"You mean Ocean Geller?"
Hannah was surprised. "You know her?"
"Sort of. Ocean was one of Ardon's girls. She was nuts about him - then he ditched her for Astara. She *hates* him."
Hannah looked back at him blankly. "Huh?"
"You stick the two of them together, what do you think is going to happen?" Karma would have expected that was pretty obvious. From what he'd heard Hannah was supposed to be really smart.
"Crap," she said with a sigh. "I didn't think of that. Can you intercept them or anything?"
"I can try. What about Regan and Astara?"
Hannah shrugged. "Try and distract them. Don't kill them unless you have to."
Karma didn't comment and left the room. Distract Ocean and Cayla while at the same time distract Regan and Astara. He couldn't be in two places at once.
He was pretty certain nothing would make Astara want to change sides, nor Regan. Short of killing them, what was he supposed to do? ~Well~ he thought. ~I don't have to kill them personally~
One of the good things about being a spy. You met some interesting people who sometimes could turn out to be useful.
