Chapter Twenty

Scarlet

We all piled into Lance’s van and headed back to Eureka. While Jane sat up front and discussed the investigation with Lance, I gave in to my body’s demand for sleep. After a long night of being hunted, I was more than ready to curl up in Darrel’s arms and close my eyes for an hour. When we finally pulled into Eureka, the sun was already heading west.

“You could probably use a few more hours of sleep,” Darrel murmured as his calloused fingers combed strands of hair out of my face. “Why don’t you crash out in my room?”

“I wish I could,” I said. “Unfortunately, there are probably a dozen emergencies I missed in the twenty-four hours we were gone. So, I have to make sure none of those are going to cause serious damage to the property while Aaron and Lance comb Zeezee’s apartment for any clue of her whereabouts. As of this morning, my parents are facilitating securing the pack and helping us get ready for an attack.”

“That’s good,” Darrel said.

I nodded. “Mom is leading the dominant wolves in teams of three, surveying the areas around the fae houses and searching every possible place my sister could be hiding. My dad is in charge of taking all of the submissive wolves and children to our safe-house and fortifying it for a week-long stay. After I take care of the essentials at the complex and visit Zane, I need to update the dominants on what’s going on.”

After my long explanation, I only felt dog-tired. My eyelids grew heavier by the second, but I forced them open.

Darrel nodded and gave me a sympathetic smile. “If you’ll let me, I’ll do that. And with your permission, Alpha, I’d like to bring half my dominants here to help. They’re ready to go at any time.”

“We need to talk about how we’re going to schedule Scarlet’s guard,” Lance called back.

“I’ve been thinking about that,” Mack said. “Two guards at all times. I’m taking a rotation, and I’ll be here until this is over. I’m the only one who can combat fae magic.”

Annoyance surged through me. “First, Titania is hunting three of us. Second, the demon is most likely after Zeezee. My guess is that he figured out I wasn’t my sister at the queen’s feast, meaning I’m not the one who needs bodyguards.”

“Like hell,” Lance said, glaring back into the rearview mirror. “One of us will be there until the hunt is over, and the demon is dead. We’ll also need a password, just in case this demon tries to impersonate one of us.”

“If I could make a suggestion, why don’t you all abstain until you kill the demon?” Jane said from where she was sitting in the front seat. “It’s one sure fire way not to fall prey to an incubus.”

My wolf growled.

All four of the men in the car looked at me expectantly. Clearly, I was making this decision for the group. As I met Aaron’s smoldering gaze, I wasn’t sure I could hold out.
