Chapter Seventeen

Saylor

My hands land on my hips.

“I won’t purposely put you in danger,” he says, stubbornly.

“I won’t be alone for long. If your friends are willing, we ask them to be close. The vampires can hide so much better than the others, and you. I leave my scent. I make a trail even an asshole like him can track.” I watch him carefully, hoping he will see reason.

“No,” he repeats, his teeth clenched.

“Elijah,” I say softly, getting close. I put my palms on his chest. “You know you can find me fast. We will make a perimeter. Everyone will be on the same page. We can do this.” He softens and I slam my point home. “I don’t want to run anymore. I would hate to have to draw him away from here. Away from you and your friends. One way or the other, I have to end this. He took away so much. Don’t let me take away what we could have. Don’t let him take me away from you.”

“Not fair,” he sighs. He pops a new toothpick in his mouth. “But I hear you. I know it’s the truth.”

“We have to do this.” I press against him and tip my head back. “You won’t lose me. Your mark will lead you to me. The bond will guide you.”

“No shit. Who could miss the teeth marks on your neck?” Sally shoves a doughnut in her mouth. “Good job, cowboy,” she garbles around the food.

“Jesus, she’s going to be living here.” He adjusts his hat.

“Yep,” she smiles, her teeth filled with food.

“It’s a good idea,” Bash interjects. “We are fast, too. If Grant is preoccupied with Saylor, he won’t notice us. Some shifters don’t know how to track us.” He looks pointedly at Elijah. “You’ll have to trust us again.”

“Can’t wait,” Elijah says dryly.

“Can we help?” Las asks, stepping close.

“I think we are going to need all of you,” Elijah nods.

“Especially if Grant touches her, you’ll have to hold him back from slaughtering them all,” Sally says wryly.

“That would be a bad thing?” Elijah sneers.

“I want some answers before that happens. I can get those answers while I’m alone with him,” I point out. I have no problem with killing him.

“What about the others the rabbit said were with him?” Bash asks.

“We have to herd them in the opposite direction,” I suggest.

“That’s going to be difficult if they are protecting him without revealing ourselves,” he offers.

“Difficult, but not impossible,” Elijah says. “We have to get the others. Whoever wants to be involved can be. There are no hurt feelings if they say no.”

“Asshole, no one is going to say no. We are family now,” Laken finally says. “We will protect Saylor and watch your crazy ass.”

“We will, too.” Logan steps forward.

“I would rather watch Saylor’s ass,” Lucas smirks.

“Death wish, brother,” Las says sadly.

“Watch yourself, Lucas,” Elijah warns.

“Just a joke,” Lucas pouts.

The women look at each other and roll our eyes.

“What about the man you have hanging in the club? You could use him as bait for Grant’s friends,” Sally suggests, licking the sugar from her fingers.
