“Wait are you saying that you started the COPA pack? I thought they were just a rumor.” Mack asked. “I assure you they are real and I have their word that if we need them they will be there. Especially after they heard about Skylar’s coven.” Tanner says looking at Mack who was staring off in the distance somewhere. “You can pick you jaw up off the floor.” Tanner says.“I don’t know what to say. I am shocked, impressed, fascinated.” Mack says. “After my daughter took over the Copas I decided that I would make sure she always had an ally and so I started the pack you have been dealing with.” “That explains a lot. I still can’t get over that the Copas are real. Are the rumors real too? Did you all really take on the wolf mafia in Chicago?” Mack asked. “And won.” Tanner finished for him.  “I am saying just that. When my daughter took over I left. Found some of

“I don’t know what will happen if she is taken, but do so alive. Meryl you still have that tracking equipment on you?” Mason asked. “Never leave home without it.” He tells him. “See if you can plant one the vehicle. “On it, Alpha.” Meryl says.            Nick was still asleep in the back when Meryl approached the vehicle. Derrick was keeping watch on Josiah and Mason’s men. Meryl designed the tracking device himself. He made so it was undetectable and couldn’t be found. He slowly opened the gas compartment and dropped it in the tank.“Tracker is on and working.” Meryl says through the mind-link. “Mack, maybe we should warn Skylar that Josiah and Shaba are close by.” Tanner says. “Already done.” Mack tells him. “Alpha, Shaba and Josiah and the third gentleman are the only ones. No body else has shown up.” Der

“Damnit!” Josiah cursed. “The whole damn place is empty.” Nick said very calmly. “Well, no shit. We can all see that.” Josiah yells at him. “Mack, he warned them, we were coming.” Shaba says. “I told you we didn’t have the time to get Nick, and to pick him on the way back.” “Shut up.” Josiah. “We still have the grandchild card to play with Skylar and there is no better place for her to be than right in the middle of our enemies.” Shaba says. “I don’t understand how Mack beat us here and got everybody out so damn quickly.” Josiah says out loud. “Unless she was long gone from this place already.” Shaba says holding an envelope with Josiah’s name on it. “She left this for you.” Josiah took the letter from Shaba and stared at the envelope. The note was dated three years ago. “You going to read it?” Nick asked. “I already know what it says.” He replied as he looked at Shaba and said these words. “Don’t move. You are standing on a bomb.” “Fuck. If circumst

“Well, what did your warlock have to say?” Tanner asked. “He gave me both bad and good news.” She said picking up the last of her things and setting them in bed of a pickup. The coven put most of their stuff in storage as soon as they had heard Josiah was free. “Josiah and Shaba live, but the third man that was with them did not survive. He was decapitated and killed after the first explosion. They managed to defuse 2 bombs. Which is why they survived.” She says.“Adam told me Shaba was not happy about the death of this man. She will be seeking revenge on me which means I am now in this until the end regardless.” She says looking at Tanner. “Mr. Tanner, I hope you are right about the Copa’s offering safe haven. I plan to send the young mothers and fathers there with the small children.” “Of course, my daughter is the Alpha Coven Elder now. She still has the council members to help keep her on the right pa

 “Are you sure you heard correctly?” Mack asked. “Yes Shaba said she would not be fooled this time and that Philly was going to lead her right to Skylar.” “What did she mean by not fooled this time? Think really hard.” “Shit, she said she was going to try and pick up on his scent in the morning, then she would turn the opposite way of his scent.” Adam said recollecting her words.“That doesn’t mean Philly is in with her, but we knew she may have seen him when she turned back yesterday to pick up a third person.” Mack says. “She called him Nick and said he meant the world to her. I think she was talking to his mate or a parent. She apologized for the loss.” Adam continues. “What else did she say?” Skylar asked. Adam hesitated before looking up. “You have a granddaughter. She told Josiah that she would call and see if her location was found.”  He says. “What?&rd
