I had just finished off what we had been working on with Damon , and after bidding him farewell , I decided to go to Taylor’s .
He had wanted to speak to me earlier but I had been really caught up .
We were getting somewhere with this killer .
Let’s fucking hope so anyway .
The moment he had mind linked , the urge to just drop everything and run to him had been so damn hard to not do , especially since he had been ignoring me since that day .
Now , what the fuck do I take him ? I can’t just go fucking empty – handed … I was not good at this , but there wasn’t anything I could really give him .
I stopped at my room to shower , I was a mess and I did not want to go over looking like this .
Once I was done , I pulled on some boxers , some jeans that I took a moment to pick out because , although I found them a tad fucking tight , I knew Taylor always checked me out in them .
I smirked , pulling on a graphic tee and leaving the packhouse .
It was really quiet , although I could hear a few of the members in the pack lounge playing games .
Guards who were in the clear flanked the entrance , giving me a nod .
It really did feel like a fucking prison Not missing the weapons that the guards were holding .
Tonight , thanks to that footprint , we had been able to track back the killer’s footsteps , right towards one of the graveyards , but it ended right there at the gates .
We weren’t able to gather any more information inside but we had set u p some cameras and sensors discreetly .
Well , I hoped it was fucking discreet anyway .
I reached Taylor’s house shortly after , my gaze lingering at Jacob’s home , which now felt eerie and ominous … The reminder of what had happened there returned to the front of my mind .
I turned away , ringing the bell , hoping it was Taylor who opened it and not his parents .
The goddess didn’t really hear m y wish when his dad opened the door .
It looked like they were both heading out … ” Hello , Mr and Mrs Olsten , heading out ? ” I said .
” Hello Delta Zack , yes , we are … We will be staying at Channing’s for the night .
He’s assigned for surveillance , so we are staying with the children .
“ Mr Olsten said , smiling warmly .
Perfect , I get to talk to Taylor ….
” We have an escort who will take us due t o the curfew .
” Mrs Olsten added quickly .
” Yeah , of course .
” I said with a nod , spotting the two men who would guide them .
Both were in the clear from being the killer .
It was fucking strange to have to doubt your own pack members … ” Were you here for a reason ? ” Mr Olsten asked .
” Ah yeah , I need to talk to Taylor .
” 1 replied .
” He’s upstairs , go right up .
” Mrs Olsten said with a smile , ” He’s probably watching TV .
“
” Thanks .
