Chapter Fourteen

~Teague~

Teague glanced at Bella as they made their way into the unlocked cabin. His heart had just about slowed down to a steady pace. He almost had a heart attack watching her battle the wolves. He knew that she was a valkyrie, one of the deadliest warriors around, but it still didn’t help calm his fear as he witnessed the wolf attack her from behind.

The cabin was an open-concept building with the bare essentials inside. A rundown couch that must be a pull-out bed, a dresser in one corner of the open room, and a small kitchenette on the opposite side of the room made up the furnishings of the cabin. The slight tinge of sulfur lingered in the air.

“Someone has been here,” Bella said slowly, walking into the cabin. “Can you smell that?”

Teague nodded his head. “It smells like sulfur.”

“Someone cast a spell in here,” Bella said, slowly walking around the bare room.

She walked over to the couch, searching the cushions while Teague investigated the makeshift kitchen. He opened up the small refrigerator, finding it bare as well. Turning, he found Bella at the dresser going through the drawers as a voice called for him from the entryway.

He turned to find Khalid ducking his head to step through the door. “The wolves have been taken care of.”

“Any casualties?” he asked.

“Nothing major,” Khalid said, shaking his head. “Some scrapes and bruising. Nothing that won’t heal quickly.”

“Anything in here?” Katri said from the doorway.

“No, not really.” Bella said, slamming the dresser drawer shut with frustration lining her voice.

“Thanks for having my back,” Teague said, nodding to Katri. “I appreciate it,” he said earnestly.

She didn’t have to have his back during their fight with the wolves. She could have easily just let the other wolf take him out.

“You don’t have to thank me,” Katri said, shaking her head. “We are working together, so we should have each other’s back.”

“Be that as it may, I still just want to say thanks,” he said solemnly as she nodded before turning to the other valkyrie who waited outside the front door.

“What are you thinking, Bella?” he asked, his eyes followed her as she paced around the small space.

“This was a set up. I’m convinced of it. Rowena wanted us to find this place. She went to great lengths to make sure that we came out here. We need to make sure that your parents are well protected.”

“Let me call my brother,” Teague said, quickly pulling his cell phone out to call Nicu. He would need to be alerted to what they had just encountered. The Shadows would need to be on high alert if Rowena was on the loose.

A high-pitched heckling laugh filled the air, which caused him to pause with his phone in midair. His eyes met Bella’s before moving around the room. The mirror hanging over the dresser glowed as they all pinpointed the laughter came from it. He slowly made his way over to the mirror with Bella and everyone else crowding into the cabin behind him to catch a look into the mirror.
