CHAPTER TWELVE

It would take one hell of a sharp knife to cut through the tension coming from the men around her. Scratch that, a fucking sword. Nothing less. The words too easy dripped with dread like a bad omen. Nixie sucked in air through her teeth as her bare feet pounded against rocks, twigs, leaves and more. But she wouldn’t be the one to slow them down, being the cause for any harm to Garrett or his friends.

“You’re hurting.”

Damn it. She’d hoped he hadn’t noticed. “Not at all.” She hiked faster, keeping in her yelp from a sharp rock.

“Don’t lie.” Garret scooped her up from the ground. She landed against his chest, settling into him, trying not to sigh with relief. She would not be a burden.

“Boys, behind you!” The feminine voice sounded like an echo in the trees.

“Margaret?” Garrett called.

“You know her name now?” Mr. Bright Blue Eyes on the right swung around, searching behind them.

“Yes.” Garrett set Nixie down on the ground and held her behind him while he turned to face whatever threat this imaginary Margaret warned them of. Nixie hadn’t seen any woman, and the voice had come from all around them. None of the three men searched for her, only trusted in her warning, and turned around.

Three growls vibrated from the men. Nixie poked her head to the side and saw Macon emerge from the trees.

“I was certain I was only being paranoid when thinking someone had been getting in and out of your room through your balcony. Thought it was a fool’s job to hide in wait under it. I still don’t know how you did it, but I’m glad I wasn’t wrong. However, that just won’t do. I can’t have a weakness in my system. You’re going to tell me how you did it.”

Garrett shook his head while Macon advanced.

“A very elaborate rescue for a brat. Impressive zip-lining equipment.”

The growls deepened.

“Interesting. She had no connections when Jeffreys brought her home. How has she formed new ones now?” Macon looked between the three shifters. Nixie assumed they were also shifters since they were all buck-ass naked. A fact Macon didn’t seem interested in getting the answer to.

The dark-haired shifter took a step forward, silver flashing from his eyes.

“I wouldn’t do that.” A handful of guards stepped from the shadows.

“The fucking wind has been blowing in their direction this whole time.” Mr. Silver muttered toward Garrett. Macon frowned, but Nixie understood. Garrett had said shifters had increased senses. They should have known they were being followed, unless nature conspired against them. Hence the need for the warning from Mystery Margaret.

She stuck her finger out beside Garrett’s arm, air tapping the heads of the guards.

“What are you doing?” Garrett tilted his chin down, but didn’t take his eyes off Macon.

“Counting.” That should have been obvious.

“Six, Nixie. There are six of them.”

“And four of us.” Not terrible odds. But she knew what those men were capable of. She was only just learning about Garrett and his friends.

“Three. You keep your ass behind me.
