"Why?" Harper asked again.
"I've been thinking a lot about the things that have been going on, and about just how each of the suspects operate," she continued. "Kendra has a serious issue with me – there's no denying that. And she seems to think we're competing in life somehow. But that's exactly why I think that if she did something, she'd want me to know for a fact that it was her. She'd want me to know how smart she is, that she won. I don't think she'd hide behind compulsions and dark practitioners."
"She'd have to if she wanted to live," Knox pointed out. "She knows that killing you is a death sentence simply because you're my anchor." He wondered how Kendra would take hearing that Harper was now also his mate.
"Maybe. But I wouldn't put it past Carla to lie about seeing Kendra just to shift the suspicion onto someone else. Don't overlook that possibility."
"I won't," he assured her.
Still, Carla was the least likely suspect to him…
