Chapter 74
“What do you want to do, Boss?”
James is eyeing Tobin’s retreating form with the same mixture of fury and concern that I am.
I take a moment to think things through.
Could Tobin ki ll Leah?
Of course he could, without sprouting a strand of fur. But to do so alone. On Roberts packlands. Amid her pack whilst he is surrounded by enemies.
“I don’t think he’s going to make a play for her.” At least not today.
“So let me ask again,” James says. “What do you want to do, Boss?”
What I want to do, and what I can do at the moment, are two very different things.
“We go back and regroup.” I have no intention of leaving Leah here. She’s a lamb awaiting slaughter. Her brother isn’t up to the task of protecting her. I don’t think any of her pack is.
But it pains me.
It physically pains me to walk away.
My wolf is clawing at my insides, a vicious assault on my mind and body, his way of punishing me for choosing to go.
“Ease up!” I bark at him.
“James, get Geralt on the phone. I want diagnostics on every facet of Pack Roberts. And every member in existence.”
He gets back behind the wheel, and I take a few moments more to scan the landscape. There’s a sense of foreboding I can’t
escape.
Cl ouds gather overhead.
Vast dark cl ouds that have lightning crackling in the distance.
Leah told me to leave.
And for the first time, there is no way I can keep her with me.
