Chapter Five

The next evening, Shane only stopped by headquarters long enough to grab some extra ammo for his guns. As usual, a tall overly thin, Lion shifter with greasy dreadlocks was behind the counter and for once, kept the conversation to a minimum. With the mood Shane was in, he didn't feel like answering the jerk's usual question of How many kills did you get in last night? Boy, how is it that someone as small as you can take out so many big Ravens? I heard that you know how to kill somebody with just two fingers. Can you teach me?

Shane swore that if the asshole asked him that last question one more time, he'd be getting a personal demonstration. Just as Shane was pocketing the ammo, the Lion cleared his throat.

"I heard that you still haven't found your mate. I'm really sorry about that, dude."

Shane resisted the urge to curl his lip up at the word dude. Seriously, who used that word anymore besides over-aged Valley girls desperate to hold onto their childhood? Next he'd be yelling, Gag me with a spoon.

"Thanks" Shane replied shortly, hoping that would put an end to jabber-jaw's conversation.

Before the Lion could manage to come up with another teeth-grinding comment, Brent walked over. As soon as Shane got a good look at the Jaguar's face, he knew whatever news he'd be bringing wasn't going to be good. The only other time Shane had seen Brent this serious and uptight had been when someone had died.

It took every bit of the discipline that'd been beat into Shane for him to keep his composure. It worked…almost. Shane still found himself breathing a bit quicker as his heart thundered in his chest, each beat seeming to scream, Don't be about Trevor. Don't be about Trevor. Don't be about Trevor.

"We need you in Mitchell's office."

"When?"

"Now. A package was just delivered to you."

Shane shrugged and turned his attention back to his weapons. "Must be my order from Amazon."

"Duuuuuuude…." the Lion drawled. "Did you order the book A Hundred Ways to Kill Someone?"

"No, because I wrote it," Shane replied in clipped tones. Inside, the adrenaline began to kick into high gear because there was no reason at all for somebody to be sending him anything unless they were only doing it in order to fuck with him.

"No way! Really?" The Lion's eyes grew wide.

"Damn, Kit, don't be so damn gullible," Brent snapped before looking over at Shane. "Are you coming?"

Shane nodded and walked with Brent to their coalition leader's office. When Shane saw not only Mitchell, but the rest of his family and all of Trevor's friends, his heart sank. Now he knew without a doubt the package was somehow connected to his mate.

Mitchell gestured to a box. Long and rectangular in shape, it had already been neatly sliced open at the top. "I hope you don't mind. We needed to make sure it didn't contain anything that could harm the members of the coalition in it."

Shane found himself nodding again.
