Chapter 8

Freddie

The old, cobblestone road is much bumpier and longer than expected. Jonas is holding his hands over his face, moaning. “I’m going to be sick,” he whispers.

The cab driver turns his head and angrily shouts, “Do not chunder in my vehicle!”

There is a protective side to me now that takes me off guard. “Hey, you’re yelling at my mate! If he wants to chunder, he’ll chunder!”

“What’s a chunder?” Jonas asks.

Henry makes a lewd gesture with his mouth. He pantamimes the act of puking his guts out. Jonas moans even louder. “Stop, please. I get it now. Thank you.”

I look at the signs and compare it to the map in my hand. “We’re almost there. It’s about one block away,” I announce.

I stroke the back of his neck, trying to find all of his sore spots. If there is something I can do for my omega, it’s massage his neck. I hate that he has to go through all this pregnancy crap. I know it’s entirely exhausting for him.

The car comes to a halt, and it’s faster than expected. Henry throws some coins at the driver before we all pile out of the vehicle. This whole operation is a mess. We look like a group of tourists, out on the town. Henry is our fantastic guide today.

“Alright, it’s just around the corner. Stay sharp. These aren’t the safest neighborhoods,” Henry warns.

My heart feels heavy. Are we ever going to reach safety? I guess this is what being in the Brotherhood is like. Constant danger. I’m starting to regret every getting excited about the title.

When you realize you’re going to become a father, everything in your psyche changes. You’re always on your guard to protect the ones you are connected to. Bonding is a sacred rite of the shifters, but it’s one of the most challenging jobs out there.

The flat is old and boarded up. It doesn’t even look like anyone lives here. Jonas and I share a fearful glance. Something doesn’t feel right, but we have no choice but to follow. My family is worried too. Luckily, there is strength in numbers.

Loke pats my shoulder. “Just breathe, son. Everything is going to be okay. The goddesses have staged this whole thing for us to grow.”

It’s hard to feel hopeful like he does. Though, I want to have some faith that we’re being watched over. It’s a nice thought to have. Only problem is I know the kinds of games the goddesses like to play, and they’re not exactly fun for us shifters.

As Henry knocks on the door, I prepare myself. I stand in front of my mate, just in case anything wrong is coming our way.

“Don’t worry. Tristan is a bit of a loon, but he’s alright,” Henry says.

Loud footsteps come our way. The door swings open, violently. A young man peers out at us. He has a long and skinny face that looks hollow, but you can tell he was once beautiful and charismatic. “Who sent you? I didn’t do nothing!”

Henry looks embarrassed.
