Chapter 9 – Tristan

He was asleep when Cora called to tell him she’d found the laptop.

Instantly awake, though disoriented, he sat on the edge of his bed, rubbing his forehead as he listened. He’d been in contact with Cora all day—she’d spent most of her first day back at work looking into the wolf pack’s case, growing steadily more convinced that the pack had been framed for the attack on the palace. She was on good terms with the owner of the wine bar in question, too, and had offered to take a shift at the bar to help him out while two of his employees were on house arrest—explaining to Tristan in private that she had a suspicion that Alexis’s laptop might be hidden somewhere at the bar.

Call it police intuition, call it sheer dumb luck … but Tristan was delighted either way. He’d been walking her through the first steps of cracking the password when she’d stopped responding to his questions … and it was pretty clear from the conversation he overheard what had happened. The wolves were there. He hung up the phone, yanked a shirt over his head, and ran down the hall to the elevator, heart pounding. If the wolves were at the bar, that meant they’d broken their house arrest. That could only mean one thing. They were making a run for it.

If he didn’t stop them, he might never see Alexis again.

The desert air was cold on his skin, but the discomfort was far from his thoughts as he shifted forms and leaped aloft, wings powering him across the city to the wine bar. He had to stop her from running, had to keep her in the city long enough to exonerate her … he couldn’t just let her be a criminal for the rest of her life. Not when everything in him believed she’d been framed, that she couldn’t have been responsible for the attack. He landed hard on the roof of the bar, almost fell as he shifted and ran across the roof. Too impatient to wait for the elevator, he bolted down the stairs.

Sure enough, the whole pack was there, standing around the bar. From the worried looks on their faces and the rucksacks on their backs, he knew they were making a run for it. Leaving the city. He couldn’t blame them for it. In their position, he probably would have run, too. There was anger in Alexis’s eyes when she turned to face him, and he gritted his teeth.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to stop you making a huge mistake,” he said, voice low. “We can prove that you’re innocent. We just need more time.”

“The patrols are here,” Cora said, her eyes on the phone in her hands. “It’s going to look a lot better if you come quietly—”

“Prove we’re innocent?” Alexis asked, her eyes narrowing. “What do you mean?”

“We don’t have time,” Tristan said, shaking his head. “If you’re arrested, they’re going to jail you again.”

“They’ll take your computer,” Cora said flatly.
