Chapter 14

After nearly a month at Tamara’s farm near Vyborg, my path to finding help for Thorn seemed muddied and unclear. Thorn and I walked into Nuijamaa, glancing furtively around us. Not a single sign made sense since we were in Finland.

“Do you know Finnish?” I asked quietly.

Thorn took my hand and rubbed the palm. “We’ll be fine. I can already smell the pack that lives here.”

That was obvious, but as to how we’d find them was another story.

“This place is so beautiful,” Thorn said.

On that, I had to agree. This far up north, there was more forest than man-made structures. With a single inhale, I caught evergreen and spruce trees. It smelled almost like New Jersey when you went deep into Double Trouble State Park near South Toms River. I used to run there with the pack before I was kicked out that summer, an event that Rex loved to bring up all the time.

“I’ve heard that many Scandinavians know English. We should be fine once we reach a business.”

I nodded, checking my phone. The cell was long dead. All the time I’d spent checking the GPS had drained the battery.

“Are you hungry?” I asked him when I heard his stomach growl.

“I’ll be fine. How are you holding up?” He gave me a reassuring smile.

“Other than the fact I had a helluva night?”

“We’re alive. That’s a blessing.”

And we were together, I thought to myself.

Nuijamaa couldn’t even be called a small town. Our hometown was a metropolis compared to this place.

On the paved road we followed, we came to a set of red ranch-style buildings right off the street. My nose told me there had to be a restaurant nearby, maybe a home or two.

“Could this qualify as a honeymoon?” Thorn asked out of the blue.

I couldn’t contain my laughter. “This is the most jacked up honeymoon ever. You owe me the Virgin Islands after I save your hairy butt.”

“The Virgin Islands? I’ll have to remember that.”

We didn’t go anywhere after we were mated. It was for the best. I needed to recover from the fight of my life, and Thorn had too many pack responsibilities to handle. The pack needed money and the only way to make that was to work toward getting pack members with income. And South Toms River wasn’t exactly a billionaire mecca.

Speaking of money.

“Do you have any money?” I asked him as we walked up to place with a sign I couldn’t read.

“I have some, but it’s rather useless, since it’s not the local currency.”

I reached for the doorknob, but someone approached us from around the corner. He walked with caution, looking over Thorn and me with curiosity.

When he was close enough, he waved and spoke English. Based on the man’s scent, he wasn’t the alpha, but he was dominant enough to qualify as someone with ranking. He introduced himself as Jorge and we told him our names.

Once we had a brief chat, he told us to follow him. After walking for hours, I welcomed some rest in Jorge’s home.
