Chapter Six

Brady stepped out of the shower the next morning to his phone ringing. After wrapping a towel around his waist, he crossed the room to the bed-side table. Caller ID said California and dread slammed into his gut.

“What’s up?” he barked into the phone.

Matt, one of the enforcers from the California pack, said, “Joel broke out of prison. We have a team out tracking him but think he might be heading your way.”

Fury rolled inside Brady. He let out a growl. “I’m not bringing him in this time. I turned him over only to have your Alpha turn him into the human police. Joel is dead if he comes here.”

“I figured as much. My Alpha knows this and will not intervene.” Matt hung up.

Brady tossed his phone on the bed and stood in the middle of his room, focusing on his breathing. Fear mixed with fury, making a dangerous brew. His wolf paced under his skin, wanting out to track down the fucker.

The bedroom door opened then closed. Everly’s scent surrounded him and he felt her concern through their mating bond. He opened his eyes and met her gaze. “Joel broke out of prison.”

She sucked in a breath and her eyes widened. “How long ago?”

“I didn’t ask. It doesn’t matter.” Brady paced to the bed and sat down, putting his head in his hands. “I can’t tell Bree. She’d run, which would make her a bigger target.”

“So we don’t tell her. We go on with our plans to take her out and have fun. We could go to the winter festival. It’s a public place and a lot of the Wolfe Pack will be there. He’d be stupid to do anything in the open.” She frowned as if having the same thought as he did—Joel was past stupid into crazy territory.

“Joel’s crazy. If he broke out, there is only one thing he wants. Revenge. And Bree would be a way of getting me back for turning him in.” Brady lifted his head and glanced at the closed door. He could hear the girls in the kitchen, giggling about something. Bree was happy and finally being a kid and enjoying life. He’d be damned if he’d let Joel come back and fuck that up.

“What are you going to do?” Everly asked.

“I’m going to kill the bastard.” He stood and dressed.

“Then we need to flush him out in the open by pretending we don’t know he’s free.” Everly hugged him from behind and kissed his shoulder. “I’ll call Ash and have him alert Aric and the enforcers.”

He studied his mate. For a preschool teacher, she had a dark streak. Dipping his head, he captured her lips. She sighed and leaned into the kiss. “I love you.”

She smiled. “Love you, too.”

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For being my mate.”

She rose on her toes and kissed him. “You’re stuck with me. If you have to leave to protect Bree, I’m going with you.”

“Deal.” He grabbed her hand and tugged her to the door. “Now let’s go make sure the girls aren’t burning down the kitchen.
