Chapter Sixteen

KATE

To Kate’s surprise, the shifters who had taken her let her keep her backpack. That alone helped calm her as she trudged through the woods. She had no idea where they were going or why they’d taken her.

After Callen had gone down the ladder to the root cellar, Kate had laid down on the sofa and closed her eyes. She was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Callen would be returning to his pack. Every time she thought of him leaving, her throat tightened up and she got mad, madder than she should.

None of this was Callen’s fault, but she wasn’t ready to let him go. He’d wormed his way into her life and now that she’d finally come to accept that she could be happy, that she truly cared for someone, he wanted to leave. ‘Wanted’ was the operative word since Damien hadn’t ordered him. There had to be another way.

That’s what she had been thinking when a hand had clamped over her mouth, preventing her from screaming. The second shifter held a grenade over the root cellar and threatened to drop it down if she didn’t cooperate. She’d gone with them quietly to keep them from killing Callen.

Now they walked, single file, one large shifter in front of her and an even larger one behind. Large pines loomed everywhere. The shifter behind her growled, but Callen wasn’t there to calm her. The trees started closing in. It took everything she had to stay upright and keep moving.

She considered swinging her pack to her front and reaching in for her gun, but at most she’d only get one of them. She had to be patient, wait for them to stand together, giving her a chance at shooting both.

The shifter in front of her growled in a way that made goosebumps rise on her arms. The trees started spinning. Kate ground to a halt and closed her eyes.

“Get moving,” the shifter behind her said. He shoved her forward, sending her sprawling onto the ground. Her forehead struck a rock. Confusion and nausea kept her from rising. As the lead shifter bent down to pull her up, a third growl came from their right.

There stood a brown and tan wolf, gums pulled back and a very scary snarl aimed at her and the two shifters beside her. Both shifters dropped to the ground as they shifted into pure white wolves. They were massive. The brown and tan didn’t have a chance against them.

The white wolves snapped their teeth and growled their threats, warning the brown and tan off. Kate backed away, only for one of the white wolves to nip at her leg anytime she moved. That’s when the brown and tan lunged. He knocked one white wolf aside, throwing both of them into a roll that ended with the white wolf smashing into a tree. The second white wolf slammed his body into the brown and tan before the intruder could escape the blow.
