Chapter Sixteen

Tony sprinted for Amber's cottage, and when he found a locked door, knocked ferociously.

“Amber!” he called. “Amber, answer me!”

When she didn't, he circled the place, and easily climbed onto the porch without resorting to shifting. His tiger roared for release, but he was a little afraid of the intensity of the fear mounting in his chest. The big glass doors were uncurtained, and the rooms inside were dark and empty. Unless Amber was cowering in the bathroom ...

She is not, his tiger snarled at him.

He stalked back along the path, first trying the dining hall, then the pool. He didn't want to believe the tiger inside, who was insisting that Amber wasn't here, that she wasn't anywhere nearby. He stood at the upper entrance of the dining hall, breathing in the delicious scent of whatever Chef had invented for dinner and hating his helplessness.

Scarlet.

Scarlet would know where his mate was. Tony wasn't sure if Scarlet was behind the disappearances or not, but he knew to the bottom of his soul that she had secrets, and that she knew whatever was going on within the borders of her resort.

The path to Scarlet's office was half steps and half steep path, and he nearly collided with a curvy woman in jeans and cowboy boots who made Amber look diminutive but still barely came to Tony's shoulder. She was carrying her own luggage and she was on a cellphone.

“Jenna,” the blonde was saying with vinegar. “Their mother, Jenna Bruin. Don't make me fly from Costa Rica to set you straight. Those are my kids, and if I have to, that is what I will do. You will not enjoy it if I end up leaving my vacation because of your incompetence, and your school will not be happy with the lawsuit I slap you with, so I suggest that you get it fixed immediately.”

She was clearly enraged, and Tony's already activated tiger recognized the riled up bear barely contained behind her fair skin. They glared at each other a long heartbeat on the path while whoever was at the other end of the phone sputtered and folded like a wet paper towel, and Tony, with gritted teeth, took himself carefully around her on the narrow walkway.

Even he wasn't going to mess with an enraged momma bear.

Scarlet was sitting behind her desk, frowning at paperwork with a familiar expression, and she didn't paste on a customer service smile when Tony burst into her close office without knocking.

“Can I help you?” she asked acidly.

“Where's Amber?”

Scarlet didn't even blink in surprise, only narrowed her eyes a small amount and gave Tony an appraising look. “She left with a group of visitors for a tour of the arboretum at the Beehag estate.”

“How long ago?” Tony glanced at his wrist, and realized he still wasn't wearing a watch. Scarlet didn't have any clocks up in her office.

“About five hours ago,” Scarlet said without having to check. “They should be back right about now.” She was all business, green eyes narrow and thoughtful.
