Chapter 12

The sound of swaying pines as they creaked in the harsh wind and the light swooshing of hard flakes as they bounced off the crusted snow’s surface was all Bellis StCroix could hear. Monroe’s favored Walker assassin, he’d been sent to ghost the Walker teams tasked with retrieving Rohm and Nyree. That wasn’t his mission though. No, he was going to bring in the traitor, the one Monroe had told him about. His head canted as he watched her now.

Dark-haired and pale-skinned, she was actually quite beautiful. Her eyes were odd though. They were blue, but no color blue he’d ever seen…well almost. His own eyes were inky black with mere pinpoints of neon blue in the center. Her eyes nearly matched the blue of his own. Her hair was trimmed to where it barely brushed her shoulders. It wasn’t curly, and it wasn’t straight. Wavy, and not quite as dark as the form-fitting black bodysuit she wore.

Bellis eyed her clothing. Odd. It was shiny, and fit her trim body like a second skin, leaving nothing to the imagination. Her breasts were full, her hips and ass rounded in just the right places.

She’d come rushing from one of the dilapidated buildings that mirrored several of the other structures in what was left of the ghosted-out mining town. Dozens of these old, forgotten towns peppered the state. This particular building held the scent of Walkers, Keepers, humans, and Megalya.

Once the door slammed behind the female she’d thrown herself back against it as a sob wrenched from her throat. She was staring up at the sky, her breath leaving her in harsh pants that exploded in little cloud bursts in the frigid air.

Studying her, Bellis felt an odd sensation he chalked up to disgust. Even from this distance he could scent her regret and…Walker blood! It had to be her, the one Monroe had sent him for. This female was the traitor. Monroe hadn’t said the traitor would be female, and Bellis wondered at that. His first instinct was to seek out a male. Hmph! You never knew what to expect when dealing with Monroe StoneCrow.

Dipping his head, frowning as he watched the female, he let his nostrils flare as he drank in her scent. He didn’t want to forget it, to lose it. If something happened and he couldn’t get to her now, he wanted to have her so firmly imprinted on his memory that he’d know her anywhere. Her scent, covered in the blood of his people, had his inner beasts stirring.

The Dominant Skin Walker’s mate—or Angel as Walkers called them—had been injured. In the Dominant’s stead his second, King Mulholland, had sent his best teams in search of the missing. Word had been sent to the Keepers that their services were not needed, but Bellis knew they’d ignored the directive. He’d watched as Keepers covertly deployed from StoneCrow, following the Sentry teams who were seeking out those who’d been taken. Waiting on specific Intel about the traitor, Bellis had been the last to leave.
