Chapter Twelve

“Fuck me,” Jackson murmured, his face going slack with horrified awe.

Two buildings on the south end of the base were ablaze. The shouts and screams came from that direction, and other shifters joined us as we raced toward the burning buildings.

One was an old mess hall, used as an indoor training space now. But the other was a barracks. Several of the pack Elders lived in that building, along with Alpha Elijah.

I gasped for breath as a vise squeezed my chest. The fire was already raging, the flames feeding on old wood like a dying man at his last meal. As we neared, heat licked my face and smoke clogged my lungs. There was no pleasant pop and snap of a campfire—this fire burned with a whooshing, cracking sound, shooting puffs of smoke and sparks into the air like fireworks.

A throng of people gathered near the buildings, shouting and screaming or staring up in mute shock. Several were in wolf form, padding anxiously back and forth as they whined. I spotted Val’s auburn hair shining in the flickering light and darted over to her, shielding my face from the heat of the fire with one arm.

“What happened?” I shouted.

“I don’t know!” Her eyes were wide. It was the first time since I’d met her that I’d seen her truly afraid. “I was in my quarters when—”

She broke off as a plume of flame billowed from the window of the building.

How was the fire so big already? How had no one noticed it until now?

“Is anyone inside?” West demanded. When Val didn’t answer, staring at the building with wide, panicked eyes, he grabbed her shoulders. “Val. Is there anyone inside?”

She nodded woodenly. “Alpha Elijah. I think. I haven’t seen him. And two of the Elders are unaccounted for. Simon and Joelle.”

“Where are their rooms?”

“The alpha is down the main corridor, sixth door on the right. Simon and Joelle share a room down a side hall.” As she spoke, her gaze stayed locked on the burning building. I could see the wolf inside her, see its animalistic terror of the force of nature before us.

West let go of her, turning to us. Plenty of people were gathered around, but no one seemed to know what to do.

“We need to get the fire out. Or at least contain it, stop it from spreading. I don’t know what happened to Alpha Elijah and the Elders—they could’ve been barricaded inside their rooms by falling debris or passed out from smoke inhalation. I’m going around the back to see if I can get in that way and get them out. I need one of you to come with me.”

“One?” I shrieked, panic nearly stealing my breath. I didn’t want to run into a burning building, but my gut rebelled at the idea of letting two of my mates go in there without me. “I’ll go!”

“No fucking way,” Rhys growled, letting go of Sariah to grab my arm before I could run toward the burning barracks. “I’ll go.
