"Bradley and Amanda," Martha suggested.

Merrick nodded slowly. "I would trust them to be stealthy and they're both loyal and strong."

"Send them in," said Nikki. "Send them tonight. Have them determine Roane's whereabouts and his condition. When they get back with the details, then we think storming the castle."

Merrick's lips twisted in distaste. "So tonight, I do nothing while my brother is being kept against his will somewhere."

"Look, big guy," Nikki said. "I know you're a man of action, but sometimes it pays to stalk and wait for the perfect time to pounce."

James laughed. "You see? Cougars have a different way of looking at things. That difference is beneficial to the wolves."

Merrick pushed a hand through his hair and closed his eyes. Every instinct and muscle in his body told him to leave now with a bunch of strong wolves and rip Cody Springs apart until they found Roane. Waiting even twenty-four hours before he could act would cost him.

But Nikki had a point.

He blew out a low, careful breath and opened his eyes. "Send them. But if they're not back with useful information before noon tomorrow, I'm doing it my way." He turned on his heel and walked out. Nikki followed.

Outside, he opened the car door for Nikki and them went around and climbed into the driver's side.

"You know, you probably have a traitor somewhere in Fury," Nikki said as he threw the SUV into reverse, then into first gear and headed down the main street of town toward his house.

He felt his jaw lock. "Yeah, I know. Someone had to tell Cody Springs I was gone and Roane was still here. We haven't told anyone in Fury about you being my mate and about Roane agreeing to leave Fury. So they assumed Roane was alpha and I'd left." His hands clenched on the steering wheel. "When I find out who's been passing info…." He trailed off.

Nikki laid a hand on his upper arm. "It's not your fault, Merrick," she said gently.

He choked down an angry response and concentrated on driving. They reached his home, a white renovated two-story farmhouse on the edge of town. He pulled into the circular gravel driveway and parked in front of the wide wraparound porch. Silently, he unloaded their bags and let Nikki trail him into the house.

Nikki let the screen door slam behind her and perused her surroundings. She'd seen Merrick's house often from the outside, but she'd never been in inside. It was sparse and very male, everything she'd come to expect from Merrick. Thick green area rugs covered the floor of the living room to her left. A sofa and a couple chairs decorated the room. Several plants sat slowly dying in front of the large picture window. To her left lay a large old-fashioned kitchen and an Amish-made dining room table. Across from her rose a flight of stairs.

Merrick went up the stairs and she followed. He led her into his master bedroom. A king-sized bed dominated a wall.
