Chapter Five

"I thought they were supposed to arrive at dawn." Argent suppressed the urge to pace and stuck his hands in his pockets so that he wouldn't wring them nervously. "Where are they?"

"I wish I knew." Sasha gave him an uncertain look. "They should have been here hours ago, and Laurent isn't answering his phone. This could be bad."

Argent was grateful that his mate wasn't trying to make the situation any less glum. The truth was that both of them had said "the hell with it" the night before, but when the moon had been pushed aside by the sun's rays, they'd received quite a kick in the teeth.

They'd relied on Alpha Fitzroy to come to their help, and if the man didn't follow through with his promise, everything would crumble. Of course, there was very little else they could have done. They'd been forced to stay away from the mansion since by now the silencers must have arrived, and if they left Maximoff lands, the battle for the pack was lost.

"We'll give it five more minutes," Sasha said, "and then we're heading out. For all we know, something could have happened that kept Laurent from coming. We can find the manuscript elsewhere, on our own."

Argent nodded. It wouldn't be easy, but they'd just have to do their best with the hand that was dealt to them. Hopefully, that would be enough.

They were about to depart when Argent heard it, the sound of an approaching jet. Sasha noticed it at the same time and visibly tensed. Since he'd all but convinced himself that Alpha Fitzroy would not arrive in time, Argent was frozen in shock, distantly wondering if they should have left anyway. After all, the only person Argent trusted now was Sasha, and Alpha Fitzroy could easily betray them.

They didn't leave. Of common accord, they waited, completely motionless as they watched the jet come closer. Argent didn't know why, but with every passing second, his dread and apprehension were increasing. He was afraid again, he realized, and he hated it. He'd gained something genuine in his bond with Sasha, and it kept him from fleeing, but he still feared that whatever—or whoever—the jet carried would change him.

He supposed he wasn't wholly surprised that, when the plane landed, the first person who stepped out was a woman. From the very first moment he'd been told of his ancestry, one of the most pressing questions on his mind had been "Where?" Where were his parents? Had they been killed by their own guild?

This particular dilemma was solved now, because of the woman steadily approaching him. She wore a cloak that obscured most of her facial features, and on the whole, she seemed a stranger, but Argent instinctively guessed—no, sensed—her identity.

What was he supposed to feel at the first sight of his mother in.... forever? Was he supposed to be angry? Sad? Relieved? Happy? Argent couldn't quite pinpoint any emotion he could stick with so he just stared and forced himself to breathe.
