Chapter 4

His head hurt. It was almost like a nail had been driven into the back of his skull. But when Wesley's eyes blinked open, he was glad the first thing he saw was her face, staring down at him. The fact that the expression on her face was a worried frown did little to mask how beautiful she was.

“What the hell happened last night?” Wesley said as he took in his location. He was lying on the floor out in an open forest. He sat up abruptly.

“We were attacked. By the Boon, I think. Dan and I managed to get out alive. But now it would seem we just walked into more trouble.” She looked at something behind him.

“What do you mean more trouble?” Wesley said as he turned around to see what he was looking at.

A man was standing beside Dan—a man with golden eyes and long flowing hair that was as dark as night. "Angel."

The man popularly known as the Lone Wolf, walked forward to stand over him. He wore a black vest and blue jeans. “I must say, it hasn’t been easy tracking you down,” Angel said.

“Yet, here we are,” Wesley said.

“Yes. So, I suggest you make this easy for both of us and stay put. I have already informed the resistance of our location. They’ll send a chopper in anytime soon.”

“I’m not working with the Boon,” Wesley said.

Angel shook his head. "That's for Carl to decide. Frankly, things don't look good for you, especially with the latest attack by the Boon. You and Kean were the only ones who knew about the location. Then there's the fact that Kean is probably dead now after the attack."

It was like getting stung by a thousand bees. Wesley turned to Kate. She lowered her gaze. “Is this true?” he said. “How...”

Angel raised an object in his hand. "I took this phone off your pocket. I don't know the password, but I'm sure the tech guys can crack it. Hopefully, it would let us know who else you were in comms with, and of course, if you led your mentor to his death."

Wesley rose to his feet. “How dare you accuse me of...”

“Now, now, false shifter. You may be a pure-born, but even with your superhuman strength, you stand no chance against a shifter in animal form. So, before you make your next move, you should...”

The phone in Angel’s hand suddenly sprang into life, ringing loudly within the quiet forest. Angel looked at it and frowned. He stared at Wesley. “Now I am going to put this phone on speaker and let you speak to whoever it is on the other end. If you do or say anything funny, I promise you; I will rip your throat off. Understood?”

“Who’s the caller,” Wesley asked.

“Kean Grayson.”

Confused, but eager to talk to a mentor he thought dead only a few seconds ago, he nodded. Angel held the phone close to Wesley. “Kean?” Wesley said.

“Kean is currently unavailable right now,” an unfamiliar voice said on the other end.
