Chapter 205
Chapter 205
The snow picked up as the SUV climbed higher into the mountains. I knew I was moving in the direction of Kaleb’s Idaho hideout. But my destination was still within Washington state lines.
My gaze caught on a flicker of light in the distance. I see something. I think I’m almost there.
I sent the message to all of my mates, but it was Knox who answered. We’re in position. Keep your mind open. We should be able to read what’s happening.
And I have eyes on you,Caspian said.
How?
His chuckle filled my mind. I’m excellent at climbing trees.
My gaze flicked to the tall pines on the mountain. They would give him the perfect vantage point. Be careful. You could break your neck if you fall.
11 be careful. Promise.
ocus, Sen, Vaughn ordered. They could attack the moment you’re out of the car.
Anson let out a growl. Don’t fill her head with that shit.
‘m good. Focused and ready. I could feel that golden pool of energy swirling within me. I brought it to just below the surface of my skin. As soon as I had my
noment, I would strike.
pulled the SUV into a makeshift spot at the trailhead. My vision picked up three shifters in front of my vehicle. I’m here.
tay open,Knox reminded me..
sent a silent agreement. Remaining open to my bond was as easy as breathing now. I switched off the engine and slid out of the SUV. I pulled my coat around ne. Even with my shifter heat, the bitter cold had a chilling effect.
1 hulking figure stepped forward, flanked by two other shifters. His face was an impassive mask. “Empty your pockets.”
glared at him but did as instructed. One by one I turned the pockets of my coat inside out. Then the pockets of my jeans.
He turned to the female shifter to his right. “Search the vehicle.” His gaze flicked back to me. “Don’t even think of trying any of your energy tricks on me. Sal is a hield and we have others hidden in the trees.”
fought the urge to swallow. I hadn’t considered the use of multiple shields at once. It wasn’t something I’d ever practiced with.
tiver’s voice filled my head. It’s okay. You’re stronger than you could ever imagine. And we’re with you.
van’s here too,Knox said. He brought his enforcers and says more reinforcements may be on the way.
Cat got your tongue?” the behemoth of a man asked.
shrugged. “Why waste words when you aren’t the person pulling the strings?”
sen, watch out!
Caspian yelled in my head, but it was too late. A hand latched around my throat from behind. Claws puncturing the sides of my neck.
Did
you
miss me, daughter dearest?”
I struggled to breathe as growls filled my head.
Is her vehicle clear?” Kaleb asked the female shifter.

“And the reads to the mountain?”
No as followed her, Alpha,” the behemoth answered.
Kaleb’s claws retracted and he gave me a hard shove, sending me colliding with the vehicle. His grin was all teeth. “You actually came here alone? I thought my dave had more sense than that.”
I glared at him. You wanted me to bring my mates and my pack so that you could slaughter them, you mean?”
He chuckled, but there was no warmth in the sound. “Maybe she has more sense than I thought.”
Kaleb must have given a silent command because shifters began emerging from the forest. Some were in wolf form, others human. I did a double take as my pare caught on two familiar faces. Coby and Jasmine. Jaz sneered at me, glee in her expression as she tracked the blood trailing down my neck. Coby simply naked tired. Beaten down. She’d been sucked into a game she’d wanted no part of.
scanned the area. There were dozens and dozens of shifters. I struggled to keep my heartbeat even. Timing. It was everything. If I attempted a strike against Caleb now, it would only end in my death. Even if 1 succeeded in taking him down, his followers would converge on me.
focusing on keeping my breathing even, I turned back to Kalch. “Where’s Abigail?”
So willing to lay down your life for a woman who abandoned you?”
Why Bap curled as I let out a low growl. “She gave up everything for me. The least I can do is the same for her.”
whimper sounded from somewhere in the crowd. A second later. Abigail was being shoved towards our little gathering. The side of her face was black and
Senna, na. Her voice broke on my name.
