Chapter 13

Reality, a cold bitch with no care for lovers, intruded on the intimate moment, and Brody could have killed her.

Such a glorious joining of bodies—and souls—didn’t deserve such an ignoble end, but the darts in his ass said otherwise.

It was his own fault.

I should have known better.

He’d thought them safe at least for the night. He could have sworn no one trailed them and that his southern path would mislead their pursuers who would expect them to head due west to the safety of his clan. Or at least a town where he could hitch a ride.

While they did need wheels and most especially a phone so he could call in, of more import was making sure they weren’t recaptured, hence his arrival in the small hamlet. The spare room offered to them by the shopkeeper in town was a bonus.

But complacency was his enemy.

The dude who called himself the master had found them, or at least his minions had because Brody recognized the guy who stood inside the door with the tranq gun in hand. Although, he’d initially squashed Layla at the impact of the darts, his first impulse being to shield her body, now that he realized they weren’t firing bullets, Brody rolled off Layla, prepared to kill the fucker. At least that was his plan, were it not for the half-dozen darts shot into his upper torso.

Unlike the ones in his ass, Brody ripped them out and flung them to the side as he staggered to his feet, placing himself between the attackers and a groggy Layla, who’d gotten hit with a pair of tufted missiles.

Her “What’s going on?” emerged slurred.

“We’ve got company,” he growled, a head shake doing nothing about the effects of the tranquilizers, which were already slowing his movements and speech down.

“No,” she whispered, echoing his own thoughts. “But how? How did they find us?”

The how didn’t matter. It was how they would escape that did. Already swaying on his feet, Brody had only moments before he would succumb to the drugs working on his system. He couldn’t allow that to happen because, if he passed out, he’d leave Layla defenseless.

I won’t let her go back to that prick. I won’t.

He called to his beast side, but his wolf was too drowsy, the sedatives already at work.

The puffing sound of more darts firing made him brace for impact, but the target wasn’t Brody but his woman, whose hair had begun to rise in a static halo, a sign of her drawing on her power.

Yeah, sweetheart, call forth your furry minions.

Too late.

Her eyes fluttered.

Then shut.

Brody let out a bellow, rage-filled and anguished. This couldn’t be happening. Not this close to freedom and aid. Not after I promised her she wouldn’t ever have to go back. Not after realizing how much she means to me.

Barreling forward, he reached out to grab the prick with the dart gun, but his limbs wouldn’t cooperate, and his muscles went limp. For a moment he could grasp why men relied on erectile remedies.
