Chapter Five

A week had passed since the incident in the woods, and with each passing day, Karri felt even more unnerved. Noah and the others were following every lead, researching every aspect, and reading through every police and news report. Still, they hadn’t determined if she was one of the chosen targets. How hard is it to figure out if they were gunning for me? Kat’s autopsy hadn’t come back yet either to let them know if Kat herself had been a target. Maybe it was the boyfriend? For all they knew, it might not have been any of them.

Only three shifters had been confirmed to be at the party that night. Two were dead and the third was in the hospital in critical condition. One of the shifters that had been killed belonged to Oswalt’s Tribe—a neighboring tribe. The other two had been in hiding. The family of the shifters who had been killed had picked up and moved in the middle of the night for fear of their safety. While the family of the hospitalized victim had no choice but to stay or leave their son behind. Karri couldn’t put herself in their shoes or even begin to understand what they were going through.

The shifter world was a whole new experience for her, unlike anything she would have thought it to be like. The Crimson Hollow Tribe seemed to be a family. They hung out together, played together, ate together, and most of all, they fought for each other. Everyone was protected. Only a few of the tribe members left for work, most of them either worked remotely or had another job within the tribe, because of that there were less risks being taken by the members.

As closely bonded as they seemed to be, they’d welcomed her as if she were one of them. Never once had she felt like an outsider. They had stopped by the cabin to meet her, usually bringing food by for her and Noah as the excuse. Turns out Noah was terrible in the kitchen and most of the time one of the other families sent food over for him, or he joined Sin or Jase for dinner. It didn’t matter their animal; they were family. Too bad her own family wasn’t half as welcoming and open.

“Sugar.” Noah jogged down the stairs, tugging a shirt over his head. “We’ve got to go.”

“Go? What’s wrong?” She moved away from the window where she had been watching the tribe members move about with their daily chores.

“Garret’s received new information and we’re meeting at his place to go over it.”

“We’re…?” Even as she questioned him, she sat down to pull on her boots. “I’ve never been invited to one of your meetings before. Why now? Jase isn’t going to question me again, is he? I don’t remember anything else.”

“Whatever he’s found concerns you, so you need to be there.” He came to stand in front of her and held out his hand to her. “Don’t worry about it.
