“What do you mean you did not see anyone?!” Raymond snarled.“I am sorry, Alpha. We just… it was so fast that… I am sorry, Alpha,” Roy, head of the pack guards, finished guiltily in the face of Raymond's glower.Then he lowered his head contritely.“How are they doing now?” Raymond asked Carmen through the mindlink.“We are currently getting the wolfsbane out of their system, Alpha. Once it's totally out of their bodies, their chances will be better,” Carmen's voice came thready through the mindlink.Which meant they were still critical.Carmen had her soothing doctor's voice on for sure, and the implication of that made guilt ripple through Raymond in punishing waves.He couldn't blame Roy too much, because he had barely felt it too.His eyes clouded with anger as he looked over the construction site.Building materials were strewn on the ground. A cement pan half turned. A ladder split into two from the impact of something striking it.The whole site was in chaos, and spots of blood

“I swear I can’t remember, alpha,” Cassio responded, shame-faced.“I can’t remember, alpha. One moment we were working, then… I woke up in this bed,” another of the construction workers said in confusion as he looked around the sterile clinic.Though none of the others woke up violent like Sean, they had all had the same response to his answers.They can’t remember the attacks. No remembrance of any shadows or any scent.After he had calmed down, even Shawn didn’t seem to remember all the things he had said about shadows when he was hysterical.Raymond calmly bade them goodbye after ordering them to stay put, and ensure they were taken care of, until the doctors gave them the clean bill to leave.His unhurried walk out of the clinic didn’t betray his inner turmoil.He got outside and slammed his fist against the wall, the paint chipping off against his bloodied knuckles.“I want those bastards found,” he commanded Justin. “This is becoming a sickening pattern. Search well beyond the p

“What the…?!”Another ping resounded in the car, cutting Raymond’s exclamation short.“Do as I say, or your little bitch queen will be getting this next!”The warning text looked like dynamite on Raymond’s phone.Aeth was so furious that Raymond could feel him pressing against the surface.Confusion mingled with fury in a messy tango in his thumping heart.The clip looked so real. So convincing, yet he knew he would never betray Athena like that.“What the fuck happened?!” Raymond wondered as his fingers scraped through his scalp in a punishing grip.He sent the number immediately to his partner, with the command, “Find the bastard now!”Then he responded to the threat, “Who the fuck are you? Stop being a fucking coward and show your face. What do you want?!”Raymond’s breath sounded ragged and harsh in his ears as Athena’s face popped up repeatedly in his mind while he waited for a response.“Our mate wouldn’t take this well at all. What have you done, Raymond?” Aeth suddenly spoke a

“Forgive my manners,” he said charmingly with a winning smile. “It's just that I want us to sort out those reports before I leave. Now that Her Majesty is bedridden, we need to quickly work on this. My lungs are acting up too. I need to get back soon to use my medication,” he continued, walking towards her.“Your lungs seem fine enough,” Lorraine almost blurted out, annoyed by the way he was practically shouting at her like she was partially deaf.That smile of his had always rubbed her the wrong way, and even more so today. The man always seemed too smooth. Lorraine did not trust smooth men. Men like Justin.“Her Majesty is not bedridden. She is just resting,” Lorraine gritted out. “And do try to preserve your lungs, Delta. I can hear you just fine without you screaming yourself hoarse. We want you healthy, after all,” she added with a frosty smile.Something crossed his icy blue eyes even as he smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, beta. About that report…?”“It can wait,” L

The red Volvo was sitting at the side of the road like an answered prayer. Lorraine was increasingly worried the longer Athena stayed unconscious.“What did that damn Larissa do to you?!” she wondered bitterly, as her thoughts went to Lane too. “Surely his wife wouldn't put Her Majesty in this comatose state unless the husband knew, right?” she wondered while stumbling through the increasing dark with Athena growing heavier in her hands.She didn't have the time for any draining thoughts right then. So she shoved it aside, concentrating again on her environment. She had left the pack shield behind and was fully in human territory at that point. She made sure to stay close to the wooded area to avoid any unnecessary trouble.Not that she was afraid of trouble, but the sight of an unconscious woman in her arms would more than raise brows, and stumbling into cops would be even worse. They would ask too many questions that might make her say something that would get them suspicious.
