12.

Walker crept quietly through the brush, sniffing out the size of the camp. He couldn’t get too close or the men there would detect him, but if he could just get an idea of where the alpha was, the rest of the men weren’t going to matter. Once you killed the alpha, the fight was over. Their side would have lost.

It took quite a bit of time, but finally, Walker picked up on Luthor’s scent. The old woman had told him her nephew was the right-hand man of the alpha of this dysfunctional pack, so wherever Luthor was, he imagined he would find the alpha as well.

He watched carefully before sneaking into the encampment and cautiously slipping inside the large tent that reeked of Luthor’s scent. There was nobody inside; and the place was bare except for a cot and a small shelf full of books. So Luthor could have been an intellectual if he had been given half a chance. That was interesting. Maybe it still wasn’t too late for him. Maybe…

And yet, when he thought about what had happened to Riley, Walker was furious. He didn’t want to give a man like this a second chance. He was a piece of shit who just happened to be able to walk and talk. He didn’t deserve mercy. Not when he could so easily harm an innocent woman and her child.

“This way!”

“No!”

Walker’s heart lurched at the sound of a voice, so familiar and cutting that he nearly revealed himself and lunged toward the voices. It was Riley. She was here, in the encampment, surrounded by dangerous men.

“Get the hell over here, James. This is probably going to tickle you!”

Walker crept out from the tent and retreated into the woods where he was able to watch what was happening without revealing his position. He was strong, but he wasn’t going to be able to win in a fight of ten against one. The odds were not in his favor. His best bet was to strategize. And as long as Riley was safe, he would have the time to do that. But if a single hair on her beautiful head was harmed, he was going to lose all of his self-control and the wolf would take over, probably killing all of them.

“James?”

Riley’s voice was hoarse, and the fear radiating from her body was unmistakable. Walker cringed, enrapt by the scene. Riley hands were tied behind her back, and a big shifter, who looked like a hybrid between the bears and the wolves, was standing behind her, his eyes mirthful as a tall, scrawny man began striding toward them.

“Well, look who’s here!” he shouted. “Where’s my kid, Riley?!”

“She’s not your kid,” Riley growled. “You wanted me to abort her. She will never be your child!”

“Well, don’t say a thing like that,” James said, glowering. “Unless you really want to hurt someone’s feelings. But I think you already know how dangerous it can be to hurt my feelings.”

Tears started to stream down Riley’s face, but she refused to look away from the man.
