Chapter Eight

Mikhail raced back into the house, skidding to a stop when he saw the blood everywhere. He quickly scanned the room until he spotted Jace standing by Bay then ran over and wrapped his mate up in his arms.

“Are you harmed, mate?” Mikhail’s heart thundered in his chest until Jace shook his head.

“No, this isn’t my blood,” Jace said. “It’s Stefan’s and his.” Jace pointed to what was left of Peter Craigen, and that wasn’t much. The man had been torn to shreds.

“What happened?” Mikhail asked as he glanced around at the carnage, swallowing hard when his stomach threatened to rebel. The dining room looked like a war zone.

“He came in the back door.” Mikhail tightened his arms around Jace when the man shuddered. “He had a gun, Mikhail. He was trying to force us to leave. He—”

“He tried to shoot me,” Bay said quietly.

Mikhail’s eyes snapped to Bay. The man looked unhurt. “And?”

“Stefan got in the way then tore the man apart,” Jace said. “Stefan’s shot, Mikhail. He took off out the backdoor.”

“What?” Mikhail roared.

“He’s in his tiger form, Mikhail.”

“Fuck!” Mikhail pushed a hand through his hair. This was so not good. If Stefan was hurting and he spent too much time in his tiger form, he could stay that way, never becoming human again. He’d go feral. “We have to find him.”

“Mikhail?”

Mikhail turned when he heard Zus’s voice. Rue stood right behind the man. “Stefan’s been shot.”

The blood drained from Zus’s face. “Where is he?”

“Jace said he took off.”

“We have to find him!”

“Yuri and I will go,” Mikhail said, knowing Zus would agree. “Stay here and protect our mates.”

Zus nodded.

“Tell me where the first aid stuff is,” Jace said as he started pushing Mikhail toward the backdoor. “The boys and I will get things ready back here and clean this mess up.”

Mikhail grinned. Jace was the perfect mate. “The first aid kit is in the bathroom cabinet at the top of the stairs. Is there anything else you need before I go?”

“Take that thing with you.” Jace’s finger shook as he pointed to the dead body on the floor.

Zus leaned down and picked the body up without saying a word and carried it outside, Rue right on his heels. Several sighs of relief filled the room when the body disappeared out the door, reminding Mikhail that while his mate and friends seemed somewhat accepting of their nature, they were still new to the shifter world.

“Jace, we need to talk when I get back.”

Jace paled. “Talk?”

“Nothing horrible, baby.” Well, Mikhail didn’t think being the alpha of his pride was horrible, but he could be wrong as far as a human was concerned. “I just want to fill you in a little more about life here.”

“Yeah.” Jace’s baby-blue eyes were big and rounded as he glanced around the bloody room. “That would be good.”

Mikhail winced. This was not making a life with him look very good. He was supposed to protect his forever mate. He had promised he would.
