It appeared as though the man had endured a struggle just to survive. Caiden could feel the man's trepidation when he got out of the car and looked him in the eye.He approached the car and politely inquired, "Are you coming from up there?" as he examined the damaged engine. "The engine in this car doesn't look good.""Yes, I was up there some hours ago," he said. Caiden was repulsed by his foul breath and crooked teeth teeth. "The mountains are extremely chilly. The cold bothers me."Caiden examined his wounded leg."What is wrong with your leg?"He saw how horrified the man grew at that inquiry when he glanced at him.He blurted, "I was bitten by a dog," which Caiden found quite odd. "I was heading toward the hospital in my car."Then Caiden approached him while staring.The man's face went pale, "I'm searching for four kidnapped boys, and I've been told they're in the mountains."The man was trembling all over."Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about," he said, although it se

The man asked, "What are you? A doctor""I'd say I'm better," he said. "But tell me one thing: who bit your leg?"The man appeared to consider it carefully. He knew that if he revealed the truth, the crooks who had ordered the quads'' kidnapping would kill him. But this man, who also appeared to be a monster, would kill him if he didn't tell. At that moment, he realized he had no escape.Caiden declared, "If this wound remains on your leg for one more day, you'll die and I mean it."The man said, "How can you be so sure about that? How on earth can the bite of a child, kill a man so quickly?"Hearing this, Kamara's eyes widened with hope. She stopped Caiden as she approached the man, utterly happy and unconcerned about anything else."Which one of the boys bit you?" She didn't even realize her power when she slammed him up against a tree."I'm not sure," the man said, frightened by her enraged gaze. "They are so identical, you can't tell one from another."Caiden's eyes appeared to be

"Caiden chuckled mockingly. As Nate observed everything, he thought it was imperative to end it all once and for all to prevent further harm from happening. Nate continued to hold onto Kamara as he added, "We're all very tired, Alpha. How about we take a nap and deal with this in the morning?" Nate nearly thought the alpha would accept his suggestion as Caiden glanced at him, but he said, "I'Il take Kamara to the mountain because she wants to go there," he added, giving her an exasperated look. "Pack your belongings because we're heading out right now." Caiden strolled back to the camp. Though he knew he wouldn't be able to, Nate wanted to go after him and try to change his mind. Nate became aware of his grave error as soon as they arrived at the camp. When he looked more closely at the vacant space where the prisoner closely at the vacant space where the prisoner had been restrained, he saw the ropes had been cut. Gazing at the cut ropes, Caiden pondered how and by whom the huma

Kyler, Lucas, and Noah held onto Sterling's unconscious body in the vehicle as it jolted from side to side, praying their brother would awaken quickly. They soon drifted off to sleep, and when they awoke, the man was moving them around once more. The room had beds in it this time. The sheets were torn and dirty. Nothing they couldn't appreciate at this moment. There was light and the interior wasn't really cold. There was a urine-smelling restroom on the other side of the room. Throughout the night, they all had to cover their nose multiple times until they grew accustomed to the disgusting scent. Sterling, though, didn't wake up. That was how he remained all afternoon.Upon awakening, he believed he was dreaming. The space had good lighting. Lucas and Kyler were on one bed, while Noah was resting with him on the other. He looked up, but his dizziness made it difficult for him to see clearly. He remained sleepy. Moreover, he had difficulty opening his eyes. It took him several tries

With urgency, she questioned, "How can you be so sure of that?" "I had no idea that a person could be recognized by their footprints." After glancing at Kamara and Caiden, Nate swallowed his own spit before speaking, "I'm not sure, Miss Kamara," he remarked, looking back at the footprint in the sand, "but it couldn't have been a woman's." "You ought to be questioning why a woman is even involved in the abduction of my kids," she became agitated, which infuriated Caiden. Kamara was going to turn and walk away when Caiden held her once again, making her turn to face him."Why the fuck do you keep standing up for him?" Seeing the look on her face, he inquired. "He most surely would have saved my kids if he had been present." All of Kamara's defenses were undermined by Caiden's laughter. "What happens if he is complicit in the quads' abduction?" Kamara scowled, growing irritated with him. She shook her arm and made him release it, saying, "That doesn't make any sense, Caiden. Why wo
