Semua Bab Whispers of the Wild Hunt: Bab 51 - Bab 60

“An old friend…” Tam scoffs. “That’s cute. Last I heard from you, all you wanted from us was your freedom. Now we’re friends?”Every step toward the end of her porch that she takes has her wolves tensing more and more, as if ready for any type of fight.“Let me guess, healer.” Tam looks around at the wolves surrounding her, and it’s then that I notice Rhett isn’t among them. “You found yourself in even more trouble, and now you need our help.”“You called me an asset once, Tam,” I growled. “Am I not one anymore? I helped when your wolves, when your children, were dying. Can you not show me the same courtesy?”Tam laughs, but it isn’t filled with the same humor as before, there’s something vile lurking in it. Something filled with pain.“Courtesy? Courtesy!” Tam all but screams at me. “Look around, Lena. This is all that is left! They came for you and found a place they could prosper off of the supernaturals. We don’t have enough people to fill the homes or patrol the property. We’re b

Rhett looks like he’s seen a ghost, which is saying something because he doesn’t look much better. His once shaggy brown hair has been left to grow wild, falling into his face. He doesn’t move to shake it out of his eyes, I’m not even sure he’s blinked since he’s seen me. His cognac eyes stare into my soul as if he’s scared I’m going to leave again.And then it’s as if Kai’s words pierce through his stupor. He shakes his head, turning to face Kai. “You knew they were holding me down here, and you let her be taken anyway?”“Listen here, wolfie,” Kai snarls, leaning closer to the cage. “I don’t let my mate do anything, if it were up to me, she would be locked in a safeguarded and padded room.”I gasp in outrage, “Why would it need to be padded?”Brax chuckles, his laugh vibrating up my body. But Rhett doesn’t seem to hear what Kai is saying anymore as he blinks in shock at him. “Did you say mate?”“Personally, I can’t wait for the family dinners,” Brax chuckles, looking down at me.I si

“Did I hear Tam right? She’s already called the pack?” I ask as Kai settles me into the backseat of our odd tank. Surprisingly enough, it’s still where we left it, untouched by the Redrock Pack.Kai nods before climbing in beside me. I rest my head on his shoulder as Brax gets behind the wheel, Rhett climbing into the passenger seat.“This car is a death trap, if you could call it a car,” Rhett mutters.“What did you say before? It’s not a death trap, she just has personality?” I tease from the backseat, my eyes taking in the trees as we head out of the pack compound.“Har-har,” Rhett deadpans and I laugh. “As for Tam, it seems that was her plan all along. They never tried to hurt me, but the never helped me either. It seems the minute I said I needed to save my mate, I became the perfect bait.”“Tam and I didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I didn’t think she could be this heartless.” I whisper.“You have to remember, she’s lost a lot of the pack she swore to protect,” Rhet

I glance between the three of them, narrowing my eyes at the chagrined look on Kai’s face. I knew he looked familiar, he was the King’s brother. I’m in the presence of royalty, but all I want to do is knock his teeth in for sitting so close to my mate.But another part of me, the wolf part, doesn’t seem to mind it as much. He seems to think we’re going to need the help, and sharing her won’t be as bad as I think.“Why would it hurt to tell me how you met?”“Imightofhadtohelpthemkidnapher,” Kai mutters quickly.Lena bursts out laughing, and it takes a minute for me to remember how to breathe in front of her beauty. Sure, she’s always beautiful, but when she smiles it’s like the sun has come out on a rainy day, and when she laughs, my soul can finally breathe. And, if the looks on the others faces mean anything, they feel the same way.Maybe it won’t be the worst thing to share her with men who will actually care for her. I shake my head, focusing back on Kai.“I’m sorry, can you repeat

Kai’s approach to battle is brutal and fast. He rips through the first man like he was nothing more than ripping a piece of paper. “That one should count as two,” he yells at me.I scoff, “Just because you rip them in two doesn’t mean they count as two.”He curses under his breath but I ignore him, focusing in on the men who have branched off from stalking him and instead are trying to surround me. I call on the earth, asking for it’s aid. But this time it doesn’t have to stop at maiming, since we can’t leave any of them alive anyway.It vibrate in excitement, a large fissure breaking open at my feet and crawling toward the men. It opens up, swallowing them whole. They scream as they fall, a loud crunch from their body hitting the hard spikes at the bottom. I dig my fingers into the dirt at my feet, feeling for heartbeats and finding none.“Three,” I yell out as Kai dodges a tranq gun.“What?” Kai screams in outrage, turning toward me. “You cheated.”“Better move faster, prince. She’s
