Chapter 14 - April

I had allowed myself to become distracted by Jasper last night, but in the clear light of day, I remembered what he had been planning when I had entered Killian’s cabin. He was going to kidnap another woman, and I needed to help her. I could never live with myself if I allowed another woman to suffer the same fate as I had—to be torn away from everything she had known.

From all of my interactions with Jasper, I knew that changing his mind about his plan wasn’t an option—no matter how ill-advised that plan was. He was far too stubborn to give in to my entreaties about what was “right” and “wrong.”

I was going to need a plan of my own if I was going to foil his attempt.

“Good morning, April,” Jasper said politely as I exited my bedroom.

“Morning,” I replied. “What are you up to today?”

“Not much,” he said with a shrug. “And you?”

I couldn’t let him know that I was going to intervene, so I decided to remain casual in my response. Any hint that I was trying to undermine him might land me locked back up in the cabin.

“I promised the children we would do some activities today,” I told him.

It wasn’t a lie, exactly. But I knew I was going to spend the rest of the day making sure those activities took place within earshot of Jasper and his wolves. The more information I had on how they were going to go about kidnapping Penelope, the better prepared I would be.

Jasper and I went our separate ways, and I watched him head for Killian’s cabin.

For the rest of the day, I bided my time, listening and watching for an opportunity as I played with the children. Just before dinner, my patience finally paid off.

“Alpha said he wants us to wait in a getaway car on the edge of town. He’s going to retrieve her himself,” one of the wolves said to his friend.

“Definitely less suspicious if it’s just him going in,” his companion agreed. “What time are we supposed to meet him there?”

“He’s leaving soon. Said he’s going on foot, and we should expect him to be back to the meet-up with the she-wolf in about an hour,” the first wolf said.

If Jasper was leaving soon, I didn’t have much time. I didn’t see him in the commons, and I hoped he was in his cabin. If he had already left, it would be much more difficult to track him.

I moved quickly to the forest, posting myself behind a tree where I could see the front door of my and Jasper’s cabin. Ten minutes later, he appeared and began to walk in the direction of Pinedale. I gave him a few minutes’ head start before following his tracks.

For nearly half an hour, I followed him surreptitiously, being certain to keep downwind so he wouldn’t get a whiff of my scent. As he approached the outskirts of town where the alpha lived, I heard shouting from up ahead.
