CHAPTER SIX
They were awoken by a shotgun blast that echoed off the inside of the small shack and caused both Blake and Lily to stagger awake in fright. Blake gathered his senses quickly. He noticed that the rain from the previous night had stopped at least. The early morning air was frosty and bit through the sheets. He made out two things immediately: first, the two young men standing in the doorway, one with a semi-automatic shotgun, matte black, in one hand; second, that his wounds had healed considerably during their hiding out in the shack. There was still a faint tingling and lightness in his shoulder where Tanis had ripped him open, but Lily’s cleaning and bandage job had been extremely professional.
Lily was awake now and hid behind Blake who put up both hands. She held the sheet to cover her breasts, but the two men didn’t seem as interested in the young woman as they did with the Beta of the Ursa Majors. The first man came in and Blake recognized him as being another of Connor’s men, but both wore sporting leather jackets. Blake’s attention, however, was firmly locked on the giant shotgun which the man then pointed at him.
“Well, if it isn’t the murderer himself,” the first man snarled.
“It’s not what you think,” Blake said resolutely, keeping his voice firm. “I didn’t kill Ogre—I’ve been set up, and you know it. Ogre and I had no beef.” There was no point in bringing up Tanis. If the other men suspected his disappearance, as well, they kept it to themselves.
“Get up, Blake, now,” the first man said, gesturing with the gun. “We have orders to take you before Melissa. She’ll decide your fate. Now!” For the first time he seemed to notice Lily cowering behind the sheets and made a screw y face. “And who’s this? A bloody human?”
“Leave her alone, she’s got nothing to do with this,” Blake said. “She found me injured and she helped me, that’s all. She doesn’t know anything about us… or anything else for that matter. Just leave her be.”
The second man shrugged. “Connor didn’t say nothing ‘bout no human woman,” he said.
“Shut up,” the first man said. “Fine! Fine, we’ll take her with us.”
“She’s got nothing to do with this… just let her go,” Blake said levelly. Even though he was naked, injured, and at the business end of a shotgun, the authority in his voice still caused the two men to take a step back, as if they were spellbound by something inherent in the Beta’s mere presence.
“No, I’m not taking risks. You! Get dressed, as well,” the first man said, throttling the shot gun. “You’re both coming with us.”
Quietly, Blake stood up and dressed in the spare clothes—then, holding up the sheet as a sort of veil, Lily changed behind it. Neither of them said a word, but Blake gave her a stern and uncompromising look which she couldn’t decipher. She was used to dangerous assignments, but this went beyond that.
