Tonya’s phone buzzed on the counter, distracting Helena from the strange sensation of metal around her wrists. Ash? She met Tonya’s gaze and held her breath.

“It’s time.” Tonya pointed to the back door. “They’re ready.”

“Ready for what?”

“The solution to your situation.” Tonya grabbed her hand and led her outside. They crossed the patio and then stepped off onto a gravel path that led straight to a massive horse barn.

“They’re not going to hurt Ash… He has a sister he has to take care of…a human family.”

“No,” Tonya said quickly. “Of course not.”

Helena breathed in and out a few times, trying to calm herself. Tonya stopped walking and put both her hands on Helena’s shoulders. “Hey, you’re going to be fine. He’s going to be fine too. There’ll be an adjustment period, but you will work through it together.”

Adjustment period? Tonya tugged on her hand. They were walking again. The red barn loomed ahead. Helena focused her hearing, but she only heard the nickers of the horses. Several people passed them on the path and Tonya made quick pleasantries before continuing to lead Helena toward the barn.

Ash was standing now. She knew it as if she were standing next to him. She could feel the distinct throb in his ankle. And he was close. Like really close. How did I not notice this before? Gods, I must have been drunker than I thought last night.

“Ash is here,” she said softly.

“Aaron had him brought here. You have to finish the bond. He has to be inducted into our culture so he knows to protect our secret.”

Helena tugged, but Tonya didn’t release her steely grip. Helena could’ve wrenched free. Tonya was a human. She wouldn’t be able to hold her. But she didn’t dare hurt the VonBrandt alpha’s wife. Besides, the woman had been nothing but kind and caring and they were trying to help her. Both Tonya and Aaron had indicated there was some sort of plan. Apparently finishing the mate bond was part of it. Dammit. The alpha had warned her that she probably wouldn’t like his solution.

He was right.

Tonya walked her around the back of the barn and up to one of the side doors, which the alpha’s wife opened to reveal a dark space. Helena could finally hear Aaron’s voice, and then Ash spoke, from deeper inside the barn.

“What did you do with Helena?”

She couldn’t see in the dark space, but she found herself shaking free of Tonya and running toward the door “Ash, I’m here,” she shouted.

Everything she’d felt for Ash came tumbling into her chaotic brain. All the feelings of belonging and safety came rushing back, slamming into her doubts and fears about being with a human.

She stopped short inside a dark hallway with one dark window and one bright one into what looked suspiciously like an interrogation room.

Holy cow. Who the hell are the VonBrandts? Who has interrogation rooms in their barn?

She could see Ash through the one bright window. He was still concerned about her, even though they’d…what…kidnapped him? How could they do this? Why?

Someone caught her arm.
