Fates Hands novel Chapter 106

Chapter 8–Book 3

The Beast trailed the scent to a schoolyard. There he sniffed the air, yes the scent is a little different but it is the same. He focused on a young girl who had the same kind of features as the woman he was hunting.

Yes, it was a sibling it was at that moment that someone screamed and everyone turned to look at him. He climbed the fence focused on the girl, he was going to get her to tell him where the other woman was.

Before he could reach her a younger boy hit him hard with a rather large stick. He turned to look at the boy, the boy hit him again. He saw red, no one hits me and gets away with it. Forgetting the girl at that moment and chasing after the boy with the

intent to kill.

He chased the boy into a corner it was as always easy, at that moment he came to his senses he had been distracted and now had to track the girl again.

He stalked up to the boy and swiped his claws across its chest. Not enough to kill but enough so he will never forget this lesson.

With that, he was off to find the scent trail of the girl.

Finding it he took off sniffing the ground as he went not caring if anyone saw him at this moment. He managed to track her to one of the trailers in the trailer park about five blocks away.

He sniffed around the trailer and then the car parked in the drive. This was definitely where that woman lived. He went behind the trailer

where the neighbors couldn’t get a good look and shifted into his human form.

He walked up to the back door and ripped it open, walking into the hallway he sniffed the air again, yes this was it. This is where she lives. There was another scent in the air it was the same as the parking lot only this time it was much stronger.

Male shifter, Lion. That is an unfortunate complication. I will have to tell my mistress that she has to stop the pursuit of this, she can’t go against the Lions.

Still, he will track her as far as the trail goes and then report back to wait upon his mistress.

Rachel fell asleep halfway to where ever it was they were going. She and

Anna were asleep in the back seat while Archer and August talked.

“I saw the way you were looking at Anna, care to explain?”

“It is too messed up Archer, I think she is my mate but she is too young. I have decided to wait it out for the time being and focus on the problems at hand for now.”

“Besides I saw the mark on Rachel’s neck, does she know?”

“She knows that I can shift into a Lion but she doesn’t know what that mark means yet. Things have been happening so fast, I am a little worried about how she is going to take it all. Not to mention that she is Human, that isn’t very popular within the community either.”

“First things first August, we get them to the safe house and settled in

then we go hunting for that creature whatever it is. It has to be stopped.”

“Agreed, Archer.”

“You are going to need some alone time with your mate Archer, get to know each other as it should be. Make the bond unbreakable, she has to mark you. Though I am not sure if a human has the bite compacity to do

“We will figure it out, I will have to call Mom and tell her about everything that is going on. I know you have told her a lot but I want to tell her myself everything else. She will keep Dad informed and he can look into all those odd rumors.”

With that they were turning down an old desert road, heading to a place called “The Sun Estate”. It had been in the family for generations, no one other than the five of the Bennets

knew of its existence or its location.

It wasn’t anything fancy but it is a large estate where their kind can roam freely without being seen.

It has all kinds of surveillance cameras and alert systems as well as a hidden bunker. There were also all kinds of weapons and two dune buggies.

The house itself was a five-bedroom three-bathroom cabin with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and an enclosed pool. There was plenty of open spaces and privacy. Something for everyone.

Archer decided to call in some help, for some reason he didn’t feel good about calling on his own. He called Jack Dawson instead. Jack couldn’t come because Nova was pregnant. However, he was sending his second Sam with two other enforcers and an

expert tracker from Duncan’s pack that was visiting to help out.

One of the enforcer’s mates was a witch she insisted on coming along as well. Perhaps she can also answer questions the ladies might have about the whole shifting and magical world. 9

The reason she was mad was that it was working. She turned and left the room the only defense she had against him.
