Chapter Ten

Lycus

She was gone.

My stomach plummeted at that realization when we made it home later that evening after going to a local MC meet-up, networking, handing out product, trading it for different kinds, building our stockpile for the next party that was already being planned.

"Fuck!" I roared, grabbing the edge of her nightstand, flipping it up, flinging it against the wall, feeling the Change taking over me, not even bothering to try to control it.

"What the fuck is going on?" Ace called, running down the steps. One look at me, in nearly my complete True Form, with the nightstand tossed and broken, and Ace's eyes were blazing red too. "She got away?" he asked, his fingers stretching into talons.

His having been around much longer than the rest of us, it was rare to see Ace lose control of the Change. Even when his temper flared, you never so much as saw the red overtake his eyes. He controlled it.

Except for now.

Because of my fuck-up.

Because I had been in a pissy-ass mood with the witch, and left in a rush without making sure to lock the door when I knew none of us would be around to keep an eye on her.

"Damn it," he roared, tearing back up the stairs, calling out for the others.

Ace, whether he had shared it with the rest of us or not, clearly had a good feeling about this witch. He'd never given a shit about the others, always seemed to know the moment they arrived that they weren't exactly what we were looking for. He would use them all the same, but it was like he was going through the motions.

He thought Lenore was something special.

He thought she might have been the one we had been waiting for.

He thought she was our only hope.

And now she was gone.

Fuck.

I tore up the stairs as well, finding the others gathered around, casting anxious glances at our leader as he paced, the change flickering in and out in its intensity, something wild to see.

"Aram and I will take off on our bikes, track the roads," Red suggested, ready to spring into action.

"It rained," I murmured, looking out at the droplets on the windows.

"We will go to the coven," Drex added. "Get another one."

"It rained," I said again, getting ignored. "Hey!" I yelled, making Ace turn, pinning me with his red eyes. "Ace, it rained," I told him, trying to make him understand, not sure how rational he was being in the moment. "Just around this area. Remember? On the way in, it was dry except down this street. She made it rain. She's somewhere and she was upset about it. It has to be the woods," I added, looking out the darkened back window.

"Go," Ace demanded, back to pacing.

I didn't need more than that.

I turned and I was running, vaguely aware of Minos breaking into the woods about the same time I did, but the two of us taking off in different directions.

I didn't think she ran away, not really.
