Chapter 161: Elara

I kicked out, and my foot connected hard with Jamal’s balls. His face twisted with terrible pain. Behind me, Chad shouted a curse. I ran toward the woods behind my house, pumping my arms and pushing my legs as hard as I could. I hadn’t run this fast since I was on the middle school track team. That had been many years ago, and I wasn’t as slim or athletic as I’d been when I was twelve. Still, knowing I was running away from death... and possibly something even worse... gave me the burst of adrenaline I needed. Within seconds, I had reached the forest, with the two men behind me yelling curses as they chased after me. Their voices were getting closer. I had to find somewhere safe. There was no way I could outrun two shifters. No fucking way. Even an Olympic athlete wouldn’t have been able to do it. I tried to think while running and figure out where I was. I hadn’t been in the forest for a while, and I couldn’t remember the layout very well. The forest around Pinecrest Valley went

Chapter 162: Orion

“What happens at midnight tomorrow?” Jaxon asked. “I have no idea, but we need to be prepared,” I said. After reading the note, it took several minutes before everything really sank in. Someone was trying to help us from the inside. Unless Vale had suddenly started wearing women’s heels and wigs, that meant someone besides my brother was helping us too. No matter what Vale had done in the past, after talking with him, I believed he truly wanted to keep Kael safe. If two people from Varek’s inner circle were willing to turn against him, then our chances of succeeding were much better than they had been just one day ago. “Where the hell is Lucien?” I asked, looking around the hospital. We’d been waiting to find out whether the second wolf had been cured, and Milbanks had given us an update a few minutes earlier. The other wolf was completely cured, just like Kolchak. I was ready to leave, but Lucien was nowhere to be seen. “He said he wanted to try a Hail Mary. I’m not sure what

Chapter 163: Orion

Murmurs of agreement moved through them, and I felt a tight knot forming in my throat. The corners of my eyes started to burn, but I managed to hold myself together. This wasn’t the moment for tears of gratitude. It was time to handle some alpha shit, and by God, I was going to do it. Varek had no idea what kind of hell was about to come down on him. “I’m going to let Jaxon and Lucien give you the rest of the information. After that, go home and get some rest. Spend some time with your families. “I can’t promise what tomorrow night is going to bring. I can’t guarantee that all of us will make it home, so take whatever time you need with your families tonight. And—” I raised one finger. “—if you’re holding your mates or your babies tonight and you start thinking that the price is too high, send me a text. No harm, no foul. Your lives belong to you to spend, not me.” I turned toward Jaxon and Lucien. “You guys got this?” “We’re good,” Jaxon answered. I gave my men one last wav

Chapter 164: Orion

I hurried through the house, checking every room. In the guest bathroom, I even found three unused pregnancy tests sitting on the sink. But Elara was nowhere. Neither was Elias. Yet his truck was outside. I rushed back out and crossed the street. The driver-side door was wide open. I slowly walked around the front of the truck, then froze when I saw blood smeared across the door handle. “Oh, God,” I whispered. Farther away, I could hear the sound of an engine getting closer. My feet felt heavy, like I was walking through thick mud, as I moved around the truck. There was blood scattered across the ground. Fear rushed through me as I leaned down, pulled the door open wider, and looked inside. I almost threw up. Elias was lying crumpled on the floorboard. His eyes were wide open, but they were completely empty. His arms and legs were twisted into an unnatural position. There was a clean, round bullet hole on the left side of his neck, with a large exit wound on the right. His

Chapter 165: Elara

Before I even opened my eyes, I already felt like the whole world was spinning upside down, like I was trapped on a rollercoaster. The terrible nausea twisting inside my stomach had also woken me up. Little by little, pieces of my memory started coming back, snapping into place like separate photographs. Blood smeared across a car door... men chasing me... pain... fear... darkness. I opened my eyes, but everything was so blurry that I couldn’t make anything out. I blinked several times, trying to figure out where I was, but before I could properly see my surroundings, a huge shadow suddenly moved toward me and blocked out the light. “Oh, thank God.” “Wha?” I mumbled, and my own voice sounded drunk and slurred to my ears. Hands wrapped around me, and strong, muscular arms pulled me into an embrace. I had no idea who was touching me, so I tried to swing my hand toward their face—at least, that was what I meant to do. All I managed was a weak wave of my hand. “Are you okay?” The

Chapter 166: Elara

Kael was already shaking his head before I could even finish. “He only acts that way. He’s done everything possible to get on Varek’s good side. He pretends to agree with everything Varek says and makes it look like he hates Orion. I think he got in way over his head, and by the time he realized what Varek really was, it was already too late to leave. So, he stayed close to him, waiting for an opportunity to take Varek down.” His explanation didn’t make sense to me. I had seen the pictures of Vale doing whatever Varek told him to do. Doing horrible things. He had injected that poor man with a drug that turned him into a wolf. Could all of that really have been an act just so Vale could get closer to Varek? If that was true, then Vale might have had more courage than anyone had ever given him credit for. But I refused to believe it. He had stolen my son. Before I trusted him, I would have to see the truth for myself. Still thinking about everything Kael had told me, I asked, “Y

Chapter 167: Elara

Varek sighed and gave me a strange expression that was half a smile and half a frown, like he genuinely felt sorry. “That was part of the plan, yes. I’m sorry, but it was much easier to transport you in the trunk of a car than—” “Trunk?” I pulled away from his hand. “Seriously?” He raised his eyebrows, a cheerful little grin spreading across his face. “We do what we have to do. That way, we could bring you here without anyone seeing you through the windows. But you’re okay now, aren’t you?” He touched my face again, and I managed not to pull away, letting those reptile-like fingers move gently across my cheek. “I suppose,” I said. “I can only imagine how terrible it must have been,” he said, looking down at me with what he clearly thought was love in his eyes, “being forced to stay with a man you don’t love.” A loud, mocking laugh almost escaped me because of the irony in his words, but I managed to swallow it back. He was right. It was horrible being forced to stay around

Chapter 168: Orion

I hadn’t slept at all the night before. How could I? Varek had Elara and Kael. It had already been bad enough when he only had my son. Now, it was fucking torture. All I had done was lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. Waiting. Hoping. Lucien and Voss hadn’t slept either. Losing their best friend had kept them awake all night. Throughout the night, I could hear their quiet conversations coming from downstairs. I thought about going down to sit with them, but this was their grief, not mine. I couldn’t intrude on that. As much as I had liked Elias, I’d only known him for a short time. Not years. Milbanks had been called this time, unlike before. I kicked myself for trying to keep him out of it in the first place. He had been furious and called the coroner to come take the body for an autopsy. I doubted they would find anything connecting Elias’s death to Varek. That guy was too careful. The gun wouldn’t be registered. The men would have worn gloves. No. There wasn’t muc

Chapter 169: Orion

“I want to thank every one of you,” I said. “None of you were required to be here. A lot of you don't even have a personal reason to be part of this fight. You left your families, traveled a long distance from home, and did all of this for someone you didn't even know.” I placed my hand over my chest. “Me. I honestly can't put into words how much this means to me and my family. We've already lost friends, and I wish I could say we won't lose anyone else before this night ends, but the chances aren't in our favor. Even knowing that, you still came here. I'll never forget what you've done, and I don't even know how I'll ever be able to repay you. The only thing I can promise is that if any of you are ever in trouble, ever need help, or ever find yourselves with your backs against a wall... Pinecrest Valley will come running. You can damn well count on that, and I'll be leading the way, ready to repay the debt I owe.” I looked toward the Iowa pack. “Yesterday, we lost a damn good man. A

Chapter 170: Elara

The clock on the wall just wouldn’t move any quicker, no matter how many times I pleaded with it. It was five minutes till midnight, but it felt like it could’ve been a hundred years off with how slowly those hands kept moving. The night before, I’d gotten this uneasy, broken sleep packed full of terrible nightmares. Everyone I cared about, dead or dying. Two nightmares stuck out and ran through my head the whole day. In one, I dreamed that Varek, in his wolf form, was eating the bodies of Orion and Kael. The second was somehow even worse and sickeningly sexual—Varek tying me down and doing awful things to me. I’d jolted awake yelling at three in the morning and hadn’t gone back to sleep since, not wanting to put myself through more dreams like that. Two men I didn’t know had brought me breakfast and lunch. Every time, I’d asked to see Kael, but the guard just ignored me. I had no appetite at all, but I made myself eat. If Sydney was right and we’d have to run tonight, I’d need my st
