Chapter Twelve

Caleb

I’d pocketed the key Dru gave me and the longer I paced, the heavier it felt. Part of me wondered why I just hadn’t told her the truth of what I’d done, while another larger part was afraid my actions had achieved nothing, leaving me sitting here defenseless against her Gran. There was no way I’d survive another round with Gran, not without the bond to Dru, and that was a risk I wasn’t willing to take until I knew if my blood exchange with her Gran had any effect.

Remembering Gran lying on the floor, defenseless and at my mercy, her words about origins and creation ringing in my ears, I didn’t have a single regret about taking her blood. I would have killed her out right if I’d known for sure how it would effect Dru and Paige, and I wasn’t talking about their emotional reaction, but what exactly would happen to all that power their Gran was packing. Technically, I still didn’t even know what they were, much less how their abilities transferred.

Pack bonds were formed from blood exchanges, usually when the wolf shifter was old enough to understand and consent, but there were plenty of unethical Packs that did blood exchanges with pups, committing them to a Pack without their permission. The fact that I’d done it to their Gran didn’t bother me at all. My only concern was whether or not it had worked. I couldn’t sense her through any type of normal Pack connection, not like I’d been able to with Dru, but Gran wasn’t a wolf, she was something else, something I’d never seen before and honestly kind of hoped I never would have to again.

Her power was dangerous, practically unchecked, and she made no bones about hating wolves. If it hadn’t been for Paige, I would be dead, a fact I didn’t take lightly, but I wasn’t leaving without Dru. I’d broken our bond, and I was pretty sure I’d splintered my soul in the process, but an agonizing death had a way of clarifying things. Dru was my mate, my only mate, and I would do anything to keep her safe, to show her how much I loved and needed her. I wasn’t leaving until we recreated the bond and became one.

Caleb! The panicky shout echoed in my head as Paige’s face appeared above me, staring down through the bars that made up the ceiling. Her wide eyes were terrified and my heart stopped, knowing she would only be that scared if something had happened to….

Dru? I questioned, ready to leap up and rip the bars apart if necessary. Paige shook her head then nodded, and I scowled. Is Dru alright? I enunciated slowly, intensely regretting the loss of our bond and my ability to just touch her mind. Answer me, I roared as Paige just stared.

She’s okay, Paige replied, jumping at my yell. My sudden relief was ruined by her next words though. But there’s an army.

I squinted, trying to process her words.
