Chapter Sixteen

The sun was peeking through the clouds. There was a tendril of smoke coming from the impromptu exit we had found, with some help, in the rock face. The descent was probably the easier way to go but I was never about taking the easy way out.

Climbing was no stranger to me and I had learned several different skills. One of them was scaling impossible summits and it reminded me of a lost soul. I was hoping Daniel was watching from wherever he was and I found myself depending on his lessons, which continued to repeat ad nauseam in the back of my mind.

The cracking of bones made me turn to see the men naked, on their hands and knees, looking slightly confused by their circumstances. Somebody had tried to use their vulnerability when it concerned fire to their advantage. Killing me could come from a variety of different ways but the fire had kept the strong Alpha inside of them from coming out. It was actually ingenious and I had to give credit where it was deserved.

“I don’t remember much other than your voice. Fire does something to us where we shrink into our shell. It’s not something we’re proud of but we have learned to accept our limitations. It’s an unfounded fear, born into our DNA from the moment we were conceived. Every wolf feels the same way about fire and I’m a little surprised by your reaction. It could be the effect of the three bites but I don’t have any reference to compare it to,” Callan said, looking sheepishly around in a circle, afraid to make eye contact with me.

“We will talk about that and don’t think I have forgotten. The next time you want to spring something on me by surprise I would seriously reconsider it. I think we all know what my answer would have been had you given me a heads up. I can forgive certain things like using needles on my body to make me into living art but biting me was going a step too far.” I was afraid of asking them what I was going to experience and if I was going to morph into something similar to what they were.

“It’s a good thing heights have never been a problem for us. They probably think we’re dead and rightfully so. It might be a good time to regroup and come at this from a different angle. This was an act of war and we have to treat it like that. Never underestimate your opponent and friends can become enemies in the blink of an eye. Those you think are loyal to you might have a knife behind their back ready to stab you with it. Nobody is above suspicion and we’re going to have to investigate further to find those responsible for this heinous act,” Crosby said, with his mind a steel trap of military maneuvers.

“It would be a good idea for us to find someplace to lay low for a few days.
