Fates Hands novel Chapter 89

Chapter 24–Book 2

##WARNING Language some violence###

The cabin motel manager Todd Hoadin, locked up the motel, leaving a sign that he will be back in three or four days. He was carrying a box of groceries, things he would need for where he was going to hide out for a

little bit.

He was on his way to his family cabin two states over. Just as he was about to get into his car he felt something heavy hit the back of his head, things went sideways as he passed out.

Sheriff Avery dragged Todd’s unconscious body to the back of his truck along with the box of groceries, putting everything else into Todd’s car and locking it.

This shit was a lot easier when James would do it for me, Avery was very nervous about being caught, the FBI was still lurking around somewhere. It was a good thing that Todd parked on the far side of the building, it allowed for some decent cover.

He drove off in his truck, heading for James and his cabin of horrors. James was waiting for him on the porch as he drove up. James came running up to take a look in the back, he was like a kid running to the tree on Christmas morning.

“What did you bring me, Avery?”

Avery jumped into the back of the truck, took hold of Todd’s feet, and dragged him out onto the ground. Todd landed in an awkward position, James hoped that Avery hadn’t broken his new toy before they got a chance to play

“I brought you that jerk motel

manager, that thought it would be a good idea to run his mouth to the FBI.”

Avery handed James the box of groceries that Todd had.

“Here is some food for you too, it was his as he pointed at Todd, enjoy. I will be back tomorrow night with some supplies for you. You are not to run off after those others. You are to stay here. We can’t make any more mistakes.”

With that Avery got back into his truck and drove off into the night. Avery still had to get rid of Todd’s car, he had a long night ahead of him.

James looked down at the unconscious Todd, James and his bear conversed on what kind of fun game they should make up for their new toy to play. James took the box into the cabin, he came back with handcuffs

B:55 AM

and some rope.

He handcuffed Todd’s hands behind his back and then tied him to a nearby tree. The rain was starting to fall, it was going to be a cold and wet night. Perfect for tenderizing his meat.

He didn’t gag Todd, he liked it when his toys would scream. Only he could hear them, it made him feel like a God.

Jack didn’t want to be separated from Nova, but he knew it was for the best. He was sending Nova back with Adira and her guards. She will be safe inside Duncan’s pack. That way if it turns ugly and that asshole somehow makes it inside his Clan grounds, all that asshole is going to find is more angry bears.

B 50 AM Nova will also get a chance to see other shifters and make more friends. It will also be good for her to have female companionship. If this goes on longer than a week though, Jack is going to just hunt down the bastard and be done with it, witnesses or not.

Nova wasn’t happy about leaving either, it took Jack half the night to convince her. Finally, by morning she agreed to go for one week. After that, she was coming back even if she had to walk.

Adira promised to take good care of her, they were going shopping and having some girl time. Also, Adira wanted Nova to get to know her godson. Jack had waved them goodbye.

It was a cold and miserable day, Duncan and Archer tried to cheer him up. He tried but he just didn’t want Nova out of his sight while there was

56 AM

a threat to her.

It is time to put the plan in motion. The three Lycans that Duncan brought should be reporting back soon, they realized that James didn’t take the bait of the note so now they were going to have to be more aggressive.

Jack stretched as Sam came up to him.

“Feeling like it is time to bring out our inner assholes, Jack?” (2)

“Yup, I think it is time we play hardball. No more pussy footing around in fear of discovery.”

Sam smiled at Jack as they went to gather the troops.

As for Sheriff Avery, David was going to keep him alive to face his crimes. There will be no easy way out for Mr.
