Fur, Cloak and Dagger (Team Greywolf 4)

Before the man could protest, Nik pushed the assassin in and then had him a headlock. He was a big man, but his attempt to disengage from Nik, who was bigger and a werewolf, proved impossible.
“What the fuck do you two want?”
“Boris here has some questions. Isn’t that right, Boris?”
Why does she call me Boris? “Yes, Baba Yaga, I have a few.”
They entered the room, and Nik took out handcuffs from his pocket. The very ones he thought of using to bring Emma back to headquarters. He motioned for the assassin to sit and handcuffed his wrists behind the chair. Nik met the man’s eyes. “You will not move. Understood?”
The man nodded, completely under his mind control. “Understood.”
Nik guided her to another room and narrowed his eyes. “You don’t smell like Emma.”
“Hopefully, I don’t look like her either. And I don’t look like the witc
h, Baba Yaga, either.” She crinkled a smile and took off her mask.
“I heard you are quite the disguise artist, but how did you hide your scent?”
“The vaporo. My father gave me a bottle in case I needed to get away from the big bad wolf.”
Nik frowned. “I’m not the big bad wolf.” He folded his arms. “And why call me Boris?”
“Sorry, inside joke.”
“Explain, inside joke.”
Emma rolled her eyes. “It’s a name my former partner and I used for suspected Russian spies.”
“Hmm.” Who was this partner of hers?
“Boris is a Russian spy who we imagined wore a furred hat and black trench coat. Kind of bumbling.”
His brows furrowed. “I never bumble, I always get the job done.” He tried not to react to her insult.
“Not very comforting,” she smirked.
“You do not trust me?” After he saved her?
“Rylee might have vetted you, but I didn’t.”
“When we return, vet me all you want or better yet, find another partner.”
Emma sighed. “Sorry, I have a suspicious nature. It’s how I have survived all these years. Thank you for being here.”
“You are welcome.”
She removed her gray wig. “Why don’t you use your alpha mind to make him talk?”
Nik was not completely placated. “Why didn’t you tell me your plan?”
“I didn’t know he would show up so quickly, and besides, I didn’t want to go to headquarters empty handed.”
“He could have killed you.”
“Not a chance.” She smirked. “As you can see, I disarmed him and brought him inside for interrogation. By myself.”
“You are a lucky woman,” Nik said. And too cocky for her own good.
