Chapter 158
“I tried to say that,” the blonde chimed in, receiving a swat across the back of the head.
“Yeah, we should have, but we didn’t. They returned, they dragged that poor girl around the building and back in.” I growled at hearing that. “It’s okay, boy. I think she tried to escape, but they caught her and drugged her again. Can’t see the back of the house clearly from here, but I don’t think those
Bulgati brothers are smart enough to sneak out the back and around here to us. So no, I do not think this is a trap.”
“Can you lure them out for us?” Larry asked me, and I nodded. “Good. You cause the distraction.
Dave, Martin, you each have to keep one of the brothers down, but before you approach, give it a
few seconds for the tranquilizer to kick in. I won’t miss the first shot, but if the second one moves too quickly you may have to intercede.”
They both gulped loudly, but nodded.
“You ready?”
Boy was I ever. I took off at a full sprint straight for the house. Being upwind, the chances of them
smelling me before I reached the house were probable. How they hadn’t smelled the humans was
beyond me. Maybe it was all that cigarette smoke surrounding them.
Fecking Bulgarians. The Grand Council was already in peace treaty mode after their attempts to
start a war over Kelsey. Kyle hadn’t yet signed it. If this was in some way an attempt to force his
hand, they were sorely mistaken. Even if it was a personal war of one, the Bulgarians would face my
wrath after this. I would make sure every one of them paid for harming my mate.
I had never felt such rage coursing through my body as I ran towards her captors. The one called
Toma came back out on the porch for another cigarette just as I broke through the forest line and
into the clearing.
“Valko! Valko!” he yelled for the man I now knew was his idiot brother. “Wolf!” he yelled seconds before a large grey wolf stood before me. He was skinny, clearly malnourished. I already knew I was stronger and capable of defeating him, but when his brother emerged snarling and snapping his jaws, I knew he would be the bigger challenge.
Ignoring Toma, I lunged for Valko, gnashing my teeth and growling menacingly before turning and running back towards the woods. The moronic wolves gave chase, as I suspected they would. As soon as I veered right at the tree line, the first shot rang out and I saw in my peripheral vision as

Toma tumbled to the ground. Valko let out a haunting howl and looked torn between protecting his brother and continuing to give chase. In the seconds he checked up, the second shot rang out and he slowly stumbled to the ground.
Dave and Martin flew out of the woods and lay across the struggling wolves. Shaking my head in disbelief at their bravery, or stupidity, I found I had no choice: I changed right there in front of them. Their mouths dropped open, stunned as I stood there naked as the day I was born.
“Larry,” I yelled. “How strong is that tranq?”
He was approaching the edge of the woods and froze in disbelief at the site before him. “Larry, the dosage?*
“I–I–I used the equivalent of what we’d take down a bear with. They should be out for quite some time,” he said proudly, after the initial shock wore off.
I shook my head. “Not very likely in wolf form. They’ll burn it through their system quickly.”
“What do you suggest?” he asked, looking wildly around.
“Check the van for anything to tie them down with. It’s not impossible, but quite tricky and almost always a painful mess trying to change forms while tied down.” It never even dawned on me that I had just given these humans vital information regarding shifter secrets. “I’m going to check on Elise.”
I ran into the house and started calling out for her. “Elise! Elise! Where are you?” I checked each room, finding the one at the end of the hall locked. With the amount of adrenaline pumping through me, it took little effort to break down the door. There she was. She looked so still and pale and she had both wrists handcuffed to the bed she lay in.
