Chapter 464
“Maybe we kill two birds with one stone. Rather than having our patrols running and trying to find Camden’s scent, maybe we should be searching for a place that’s out of the way, sendhing fucked away, you know what I mean?” Dutton says.
“That’s a good idea.” I say
“A really good idea.” Jake says
“It would need electricity,” Nikki says, looking thoughtful
“And water,” Tiffany says.
“A sewer system, too. So… off the grid but not too far off the grid,” Amelia says.
“So, between thirty minutes to three hours away by car, off the grid, but not too far off the grid … we could narrow that down,” Hunter says.
“Let’s take a break to feed our pups, and then we can get some lunch. While we break, I’ll get some maps and project them around so we can get an idea of where we want to search and we can divide and conquer from there,” Kayce says.
“Perfect,” I say, noticing that Brianna has started squirming around, which is why I’m sure that Kayce called for a break. Rory is still asleep, so I carefully lift Nikki off my lap and take our son from her.
“I’ll go change him,” I say, kissing her and turning to head up to our room.
“I’ll come with you,” she says. I look at her and I know we’re about to have ‘the talk’.
I grit my teeth. I know I have a strong, Alpha female for a mate. I love that about her, but I still feel much too out of control to step back. I have no idea how we’re going to come to any sort of agreement about this, but I knew this time would come. I just hoped that Camden would be dead when it did.
When we step into our room, I brace myself and turn around. Rather that laying into me, my mate walks up, takes my face in her hands and kisses me. I respond immediately, shifting Rory into one arm and pulling my mate against me with the other.
I let my mate control the kiss and when she pulls back, she looks at me. “I love you.”

Chapter 464
“I love you, too.
“Good. Because I don’t like what Camden is doing to you. I need you to be confident in me. Robin. I need you to know that I’m strong enough to protect myself and Rory. I know you want him dead. Believe me, I do too. But I won’t allow him to break my mate down. You’re too strong. Robin. You’re stronger than he is,” she says.
“Not without you, I’m not.” I tell her honestly. From the very beginning, Nikki has demanded pure, brutal honesty between us. This is raw and painful, but I will always be honest with my
mate
She smiles up at me, running her fingers through my hair. I lean into her touch.
“He doesn’t have me. You do,” she says softly. “You always did. He didn’t kill you, because MY mate is a strong and powerful Alpha. He didn’t leave his mark on my neck because he couldn’t kill MY mate, even though he tried many times. He couldn’t kill MY son, because he is the son of a strong and powerful Alpha. Do not let your fear of losing me give Camden the upper hand, my love. He will use whatever he can to defeat us. We will find him. We will kill him. And we will live on.”
