Chapter 16

Carina stared at the scene before them. If she thought the orphanage was forbidding, it had nothing on this place. The deeply forested woods of Oregon, vividly green with promise, were marred with the presence of a razor wire fence that forbade visitors.

She and Bain took the Hummer around the perimeter of the fence, looking for any type of entrance. That was when they saw the vehicles. Several SUVs, all parked outside a gate. In front of the vehicles were an assortment of men and shifters.

Carina gasped.

“What the shit?” Bain studied the individuals before them. “They're friendlies,” he said.

“How do you know?”

“That's Doc.” He pulled the Hummer next to the oversized SUVs. He helped Carina out of the vehicle. “Hey, Doc.”

His friend stepped forward. “Mae and Mikhail sent us. They figured you would need some backup.”

“If the reception we got at the orphanage was any indication, we will. And what the hell is up with all this razor wire?”

“You don't want to know.” Doc glanced at Carina.

“Yes, I do.” Carina's voice was edged with steel.

“Shifter black market.” Another man stepped forward. “I'm Griz.” He indicated three men behind him. “Lance, Cross, Judge, my nephews. Enforcers.”

One of the men, Carina couldn't tell which was which, said, “Former enforcer.”

Doc pointed to two men standing back. “Tanner and Teague Navarro.”

Bain nodded to the brothers. “Looks like we have backup.”

“Serious backup.” What could go wrong now, Carina wondered. Hopefully nothing with this amount of help.

“Plan?” Bain looked at Griz.

“Bolt cutters, unless anyone has a better suggestion.”

The men agreed it sounded good to them.

“Let's move the vehicles away from their entrance. There's a clearing not too far from here. We can park there, head to their fences, cut through, shift, and head to the main house.” He looked at one of the men. “You have a layout?”

The man tapped his pocket. Again, Carina was unsure if it was Cross, Lance, or Judge. Then he said, “It's on my phone. The layout of the land and the building.”

Griz shook his head. “Technology. Back in my day…”

At that, all three of his nephews chuckled. One of them said, “We've heard all about your day.” He smiled as he said it.

Griz laughed with his nephews. “Ciara's with us. It doesn't hurt to have your own Intuitive.” He waved toward one of the vehicles.

Out from the middle SUV stepped a woman dressed in a long white dress that reached her ankles. Her hair was white blond, and her eyes light. She made her way toward the assembled group.

Carina studied the exotic beauty. She'd heard of Intuitives. She'd assumed the shifter population had wiped them out.

“I didn't know there were any still around,” she whispered.

Griz turned to her. “They've been driven underground for the most part. Ciara is my cousin.”

“Somewhat distant cousin,” Ciara said as she stepped into the group.

“It's nice to see you have a lot of backup,” Bain said. “Let's get the show on the road.” He looked from Ciara to Carina then back to Ciara, then said to Carina, “Can you stay here with Ciara?”

Carina practically sputtered her response.
