Chapter Twelve

Emily stood there with her arms out, palms up, suddenly ripped from a good life she’d been only inches from.

Link’s glowing taillights disappeared through the trees, and Emily dragged in a harsh, shaking breath. Her heart was being ripped apart. The trap sat in the mud mocking her.

Of course, it was hers. Or more specifically, she’d inherited it from her father who had carved Vega in script letters onto every one, as if he wanted to make sure the glory went to him when he caught a werewolf.

She was sick of feeling ashamed of her last name, of her lineage. Sick of feeling stupid for being brainwashed into this life for so long. Emily bolted up the steep stairs and slammed the door behind her. Her veins were pulsing with red rage, and there was a building roar in her ears. Yanking the charger cord out of her phone, she pressed the speed dial for Uncle Victor’s cell phone, but after a few rings, it went to voicemail. With a growl, she dialed a number she knew by heart.

“Anchorage hospice care,” the receptionist answered.

“May I speak to Victor Vega, please?”

“Emily?”

“Yes.”

“Hon, it’s late. It’s the middle of the night. Even if he was here, he would be sleeping.”

“What do you mean ‘even if he was here’?” She already knew the answer, though. She’d known it the second Link had accused her of setting that trap. It might be hers, but she’d been telling the truth. She hadn’t set it.

“He checked himself out a couple of days ago. He said he had urgent family business, and it was a matter of life and death.”

Yeah, the life and death of werewolves.

“Thanks,” she murmured before she ended the call.

Uncle Victor was here in Galena. She could feel it. With trembling fingers, she pushed the number for his cell phone again and waited three rings. She would blow up his phone all night if she had to.

“Have you come to your senses?” Uncle Victor asked.

“You set that trap on Lincoln McCall’s land, didn’t you?”

“Did it work?”

“They aren’t monsters! They’re people with hopes and dreams and fears for their kids. They hide what they are and aren’t a threat to humans, so what on earth are you actually hunting them for?”

“You mean what are we hunting them for. You keep them distracted. Get them to trust you, and I’ll exploit their weaknesses.”

“No, Victor. I’m not working with you, I’m not hunting them, and if you don’t stop what you are doing right now, I’ll have no choice.”

“Don’t threaten me, child. You have failed. Do you hear me? You have utterly failed to avenge your father’s death, and you have left me to clean up your mess.” She could hear the hiss of his oxygen machine when he dragged in a long, painful-sounding breath.

“Listen to me, Victor. Really hear what I’m saying. I had a chance to be happy. Do you understand what happiness is?”

“Of course, I do. Happiness is a successful hunt.”

“God, you’re so blind.”
