CHAPTER SIX

‘Elijah, the Fae just took off- I’m going to get her.’

‘Don’t hurt her or you’ll have Joshua to deal with.’ Elijah had been watching his mate get dressed, now he was off the bed and pulling on his jeans and jumper in haste.

“What’s wrong?” Isabel demanded as he stomped into his trainers, one foot at a time.

“Cynthia just ran off outside…”His tone was as dark as the look he gave her, before he stormed out of the bedroom and down the hallway, yanking open the front door to the cottage with Isabel closely in tow.

“Stay here, we don’t have much time…” He growled back at her over his shoulder and she caught the door as he tried to slam it shut behind him.

“Elijah…”

“Just pack your things Isabel, I’ll find her, and it’ll be easier to track her without your scent confusing me.” She watched him stalk down to the end of her pathway and lift his face to the wind, trying to catch a scent on the air, just as Cynthia’s squealing tones echoed down the road.

“I said let me go you overgrown mutt!” She shrieked out and Isabel winced inside, as her eyes followed the shrill voice.

The Lycan had his arm around her waist and her butt lodged against his hip as he carried her back up the road towards them. Cynthia was squirming and kicking her legs, her hands trying to prise his arm from around her waist. The lycan looked none too pleased with her or her insult, as he stalked back towards them, stone faced.

“Easy, Todd.” Elijah cautioned. Todd walked her up to Elijah, kicking and squirming, and he practically dropped her down onto her feet in front of him.

“She kicks like a mule…” He ground out between clenched teeth, his dark eyes narrowing on Elijah as the Alpha smirked.

“Good to know, I’ll pass that information on.” He chuckled, his eyes flicked between an annoyed Cynthia who was still huffing and puffing and squirming within Todd’s grasp, and his mate who was coming up the pathway looking bemused and worried.

“Cyn, what’s wrong?” Isabel looked past the annoyance and saw the underlying worry in her friend.

“Did you know about this?” She demanded, torn between trying to get Todd’s hand from her waist and pointing an accusing finger at her friend.

“Be helpful if I knew about what?” Isabel stopped in front of Cynthia and slapped at Todd’s hand. His eyes went to his Alpha for confirmation, an instant before he let her go and she propelled herself away from Todd. Turning on her heels and kicking him in the shin in one fail swoop that none of them had seen coming.

The Lycan growled low and deep as he dragged the air into his lungs in large quantities trying to keep his temper in check. Isabel noted the way that Elijah took just one step forward that put him between Cynthia and Todd, as if he were protecting her.

“Let’s go inside, before you really piss him off.”Isabel grabbed Cynthia’s arm and dragged her down the path with her until they were inside the cottage.
