Chapter 274

LEAH

I’m sitting in the library, reading a book to Ethan, who is rolling around on the blanket I’ve spread in front of the hearth, when James comes to find me.

“Leah, I think I’ve got something you should see.”

“Okay,” I reply, wondering if it’s something to do with tracking Karolina’s movements.

James has been in the office all day, along with one of the wolves who runs and maintains all the pack’s servers and various online

activities.

Just as I’d hoped, Leo was able to hack the GPS in both Karolina’s car and phone, and we’ve been tracking her ever since.

I call Tara up to watch over Ethan, and then follow James down to the office where Leo has an impressive back of computers newly set up and is somehow working off four different screens.

“This is about Karolina?” I ask as I stop next to James looking at all the information displayed, most of which I don’t understand.

“Yep,” James says with a nod. “Since we’ve started tracking her, she’s mostly been between her pack lands and the Council Hall,

but just now, she’s gone somewhere completely out of left field.”

“How so?” I ask, glancing between James and Leo where he’s tapping away at the computer.

“She’s gone outside of any pack territory at all,” Leo says, pointing to a map on one of the screens showing two flashing red dots.

“Like…into human territory?” I say in confusion.

Most of Montana is drawn up into pack lands that obviously overlap with human occupation, even though the humans don’t know it. But there are some places not claimed by wolves, and where any wolf very rarely ventures because they’re known to be violent or unfriendly places, even for the humans to live there.

Worse, some of those territories are where Vampires live, who hate wolves and will kill us, if given half a chance.

“Yes,” James says. “She stopped at some house. Leo looked up the records. The person who owned it died years ago and it was left abandoned. Now it’s completely run down, and that’s saying something considering the neighborhood it’s in has seen better days. Whatever she’s doing, she obviously wants it off the Council’s radar. She wants it off everyone’s radar.”

“What if that’s where she’s keeping the AI?” I ask excitedly.

James presses his lips into a line. “I knew you were going to say that.”

“Well, what else could it be?” I demand. “James, we have to go check this out.”

James huffs a resigned sigh. “I knew you were going to say that too.”

I cross my arms. “Then why are we even standing here having this conversation?”
