Chapter 8 Reiver: Retribution
By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes. William Shakespeare. In the lobby, Michael Kerr, the night doorman was watching football on a small TV behind the reception desk. A soft buzzer told him that a door that was not accessible to the general public had been opened. By the time he turned round to the panel which would indicate which door was open by means of a red light, it had stopped. “Damn” he thought, he stared at the panel for a few seconds to see if it happened again, nothing happened so he turned to his monitors and saw there were a couple of blacked out cameras. “What the hell?” he said out loud, he looked for the camera’s location, one was on the third floor and the other was near the roof. Heaving his huge frame out of his chair he headed for the lift, it was unlikely the door had blown open by itself so he thought he had better go and check. As he hit the button for the lift he heard a buzzer again, he swung around and quickly made his way back to

Intuition is the whisper of the soul.Jiddu Krishnamurthi.Hugh drove to the pack territory and after dropping his bag back with his valet, he went to the new house to see how the builders were progressing and had a last meeting with the architect to rubber stamp the final plans.He was pleased to see all the new windows were already in and the French doors would be done by the end of the day.

After dinner with Lennox and his family he and Lennox went into his study to talk. Hugh told him about the weird feelings he had at the apartment.“Are you sure dad?”“Yes, simply because Annie felt it too. She had trouble getting control of Sabine she felt that threatened.”“Odd, well it can’t be the Addisons, we didn’t leave anyone alive did we?”“No, pretty sure we got them all.”“Maybe you should stay away

Chapter 11 Reiver: Retribution
Sometimes help comes from unexpected places. Nadia Bolz-Weber. Grenville knew he had less than an hour to get information out of the wolf. Forensics were on their way and soon the security services would lay their claim to him and he would never get another chance. He walked up to the wolf and kicked him hoping to wake him, the wolf didn’t move so Grenville went to his bag and grabbed a cattle prod. This fucker was going to tell him what he wanted to know and he was going to do it now. Grenville shocked him with the cattle prod and kicked him in the face as hard as he could. “Wake up dog, time for a little chat.” Hugh’s body jolted with the shock but his head barely moved when he was kicked in the face, he felt his eye swelling and without Knox he knew it would take a while to heal. He felt a rib crack from a kick and another shock quickly followed. Hugh surprised Grenville by grabbing the end of the prod and pulling it out of his hands. Even without Knox’s strength, Grenville wa

As long as we have faith in our own causeand an unconquerable will.Victory will not be denied us.Winston Churchill. Hugh blinked his good eye and tried to focus his mind. The woman had let him know that at least one wolf knew he was here and was trying to help, he had no idea what she had injected him with but he felt better already. He didn’t know any of the MacGregor Clan personally but he did know that they had been banished from the Reiver Pack, they had tried to double- cross the Reivers or something. He could feel his temperature rising and he felt himself sweating as whatever the woman had given him started to take effect. He tried to remain still as the wolfsbane was burning out of his system at a rapid pace and he felt Knox stir. He was going to have to get a grip on his beast when he came round or he was going to get shot before his full strength returned. Sarah couldn’t get out of the building quickly enough and was relieved to see Pete waiting for her as promised. Ca

Chapter 13 Reiver: Retribution
Where the offense is,Let the great axe fall.William Shakespeare.Hugh used his wolf hearing to work out how close Camron and his men were to the room, he knew he was still weak and unable to shift but he could still fight. Choosing his moment carefully he went from looking like he was semi conscious on the floor to on his feet in less than a second. Before the soldier in front of him could even move, Hugh got a good grip on the chains around his wrists and yanked them out of the wall. Without breaking his movement he swung them round and knocked the gun out of the soldiers hands, shattering both the man’s arms with the heavy chains in the process. Pandemonium broke out as Hugh took down another as he was trying to roll out of his sleeping bag to grab his gun and then the door crashed open and four massive men ran in. It was a good thing too as Hugh has expended all the strength he had and all that Knox had sent him too. As he fell to his knees with the exertion, Hugh saw Camron jump

Chapter 14 Reiver: Retribution
A wolf doesn’t concern himselfWith the opinions of sheep.Anon.Hugh’s mind was tumbling end over end. He thought he had removed anything that could lead back to them. At least it explained why the human woman had been sent to get a sample of his blood. They obviously had something to compare it against, shit, but then she had helped him, it was all very confusing. Knox was prowling around Hugh’s mind, his agitation fuelled by Hugh’s own.Grenville was explaining to the Reiver’s how the only wolf who had any connection to the Addisons was Hugh Crozier in the form of a sales contract with Edinburgh City Council, and as everyone now knew, the Addisons had tried to buy the same building. While he droned on, Hugh looked over at Sarah wondering what evidence she had on him, her face was passive as she sat staring at Grenville who was still talking. She had one elbow on the table, her chin resting on her hand, her other hand was on the table on top of her report. She didn’t seem to be awar

There is no heart for me like yours.Maya AngelouSarah and Pete had finally finished running the blood sample and they were sat at Sarah’s desk ready to compare the results on her computer screen. It was the early hours of the morning and Sarah’s eyes felt gritty with tiredness. She scrolled down the screen to find the results from the original crime scene to compare against the new one when a name caught her eye.‘Harris.’Pete noticed her frowning at the screen.“What’s wrong?” he asked.“What was the name of the guy, the drug dealer or whatever he is who put a price on the Reiver’s head?” she asked, not taking her eyes off the screen.“Harris, Gordon Harris, why?”“There was a victim of the massacre called Paul Harris, his DNA profile is here, I tested it myself. Maybe they are related?” she looked at Pete questioningly.“Maybe,” he agreed with a nod, I’ll mention it to the police the next time I speak to them.” Sarah just nodded as she watched her screen waiting for the results t

A man that studieth revengeKeeps his own wounds green.Francis Bacon.Annie felt herself being dragged from the comforting depths of sleep by erotic tingles running up her spine. As she slowly became aware of her surroundings she realised that she and Hugh had somehow switched places during the night, she was lying on top of him as he was trailing his fingers up and down her back.“What time is it?” mumbled Annie, he voice rough with sleep.“About five I think.” replied Hugh lazily. Annie gave a big sigh.“I still don’t really understand what happened this morning? I thought we were in real trouble there. Who was that wolf, MacGregor was it, and his mate, she’s human isn’t she?”“She is, what makes you think they are mates?” replied Hugh looking down at her, frowning.Annie thought for a moment, “Just the way he was with her, like they were joined somehow. He was very protective of her and the way he looks at her too. I think they are mates but perhaps she doesn’t know it yet.” she

If it is between the sheep and the wolf, go with the wolf,he will love in the tenderest but fiercest of ways.N.R. Hart.Their food arrived and everyone dug into their surf and turf, when it was safe to talk again Annie asked Sarah if she had got her DNA too.“If you were the female wolf that was there, then yes, I have your DNA. Do you mind if I ask what happened, how you came to be there?”Annie explained the whole saga to Sarah whose eyebrows shot up when she heard the gang had kidnapped her off the street in England and then brought her to Edinburgh in the boot of a car after drugging her. Annie told her they about the men talking about gang raping her so she felt she had no choice but to defend herself. Sarah readily agreed. Sarah mentioned the second male DNA she had found and was shocked when Hugh told her it was from his son. Sarah frowned, if they were mates and they had a son, she would be able to tell they were all related through the DNA.“What are you thinking?” asked Pe
