Ighor was in terrible shape by the time we were done with him. I wasn't sorry at all. In fact, I believe he deserved worse. I was still shaken by the shooting and could understand Devin's rage. I felt it, too, but Devin had already dealt the blow.
"Where were the eastern captives taken to?" I asked the bastard wanting to know where my beta and loyal alphas were.
Ighor shook his head.
"How can you say you do not know? Are you not in his inner circle?" I asked, a bit annoyed, feeling he was trying to be innovative.
"Maybe he does not need his other arm," Sylvester said, and Ighor began to cry.
"Please, your Majesty, I swear. I do not know. The kidnapping took place without my knowledge. They might be in an underground bunker in Hayland. I am not sure. Please don't hurt me. No more," he cried, and I knew there was no way Yuri would take them to Hayland, especially since Gordon was now a wanted man.
I let the matter rest knowing Ighor was telling the truth.
"Bundle him and bring him to the Estate. The inner cells are as good as Cains. He can make his calls from there," Sylvester said, and Bryce nodded, ready to spring into action.
Sylvester walked out, and we followed him. He had taken over entirely, and I was glad not to be the one making all the decisions again.
"So what is next?" David asked him.
"We have a location and time. We need to prepare towards it. Since Sean and Joan are no longer useful, death by hanging will be in order as they are no longer needed. I will not spend taxpayers' money feeding them," Sylvester said, and Theo laughed.
"I think the women would like a go at Joan. Let's not rob them of their fun." Theo said, and some of us laughed.
I was a bit relaxed now that we had made heads way, but Ighor, not knowing where the eastern captives were, was mind-bugging. I still could not stop worrying for Casper and everyone that was taken.
We took off our clothes again and shifted. So we can head to where the chopper was kept.
Sylvester and David lead the charge.
We moved through the woods swiftly. It felt as if we were racing against time. Ten days might seem far away, but it wasn't.
We got to the helicopter, and something seemed off. The kappas that flew the aircraft were not there. I did not remember Sylvester telling them to leave, so it was off.
I could smell it even though it was faint. It was silver.
I wanted to link the others to arm themselves, but I could only Link Alexei, Erik, and Andrew. They were the ones that were linked to me. Seeing the stance Sylvester's wolf, Knight, took made me know that he was aware.
We instinctively formed a circle facing all directions with Sylvester in the middle.
We had to make sure no one got to him. He was ready to fight, too, but we did not know what we would be facing.
"I think they traced Ighor," Erik said, and I wondered if he had such a device, but this wasn't the time to ask him for that.
It would be bad news if that was the case because if Yuri found out we had Ighor, he would change his plans, and we would have nothing to work towards.
The silver was in the air, and we had breathed it in.
True to Erik's promise, we weren't affected, but we could not let the attackers know. They had yet to attack us because they were waiting for the silver to work.
They wanted an easy kill.
