Chapter 15

Red-orange flames of anger and anxiousness burned in Michael’s gut. He had never felt stronger, and at the same time less like himself.

He passed Rena and Devlin in his race to the library, seeing only Dylan ahead. Dylan’s vibe was also red-hot, his wolf churning up energy on a nuclear level. None of the Landau clan Michael knew of could shift at will. He wondered what Dylan would think of his ability to do so.

He and Dylan approached the steps to the old library building together. Dylan didn’t comment about Michael’s new shape, knowing better than to divert energy from the search for Cade. It was also likely that Dylan had seen this kind of special ability before.

There were no signs of students or staff near the doors. After the fake alarm Kaitlin had set off earlier, most of the people had finished up and moved on. One or two were left, and Michael’s impression was of aged humans closing up shop.

He and the Weres had to be wary of being seen. Those two people in the building had no idea what kind of evil their library might house beneath its brick walls, if Cade had been taken there. And that seemed likely.

The foreign wolf’s odorous trail was easy to follow. Dylan responded to Michael’s soft growl with a nod of his fair-haired head. The scent was so strongly wrong here, it seemed the damn wolves had left a trail of breadcrumbs behind.

Might be a trap.

“Correct,” Dylan agreed, hearing Michael’s wariness. “This is much too easy. Any creature with a sense of smell would be able to follow this trail.”

Michael watched Dylan check to make sure the hallway beyond the doors was clear, hoping the two people in the building were out of sight.

“Stairs leading down,” Dylan said. “Just inside this hallway. Chavez is never this easy to track, so the ease of this discovery has to be a trick. We’re being manipulated, Michael, and they’re using Cade as bait.”

Michael anticipated what Dylan would say next, allowing him to say it.

“If we bust down those doors leading to their den, they might be waiting. We don’t have any idea how many there will be.”

Dylan sniffed the stale air in the corridor before continuing. “I’m guessing more than one Were, and that their ringmaster won’t be in residence. Chavez’s MO is to let his wolves do the dirty work for him.”

Killing Clement’s pack was the dirty work Dylan was alluding to. Yet with his own pack and the Weres Dylan had brought with him, there was a good chance of stopping this criminal before it was too late.

Nevertheless, Michael’s senses were sending up red alerts. His senses detected vampires. The odor of rotting flesh overrode the harsh wolf scent pervading the hallway. He knew for a fact that the two opposing kinds of creatures would never have joined forces. The world of Otherness didn’t work that way. So, why were both scents leading them deeper into this library, each of
