Chapter 8

"I think they found me," Daisy said.

"I should have known this was going to happen."

"I'm sorry," she said, putting her warmest clothes back on.

Fifi yipped from under the bed and Cyrus grabbed his shotgun off the rack over the mantle.

"I'm going to take care of this."

Cyrus peered out the window, scanning the yard to count the men out there. He counted six, all equipped with shotguns and military grade body armor.

“Are you going to shoot them all?" Disney asked.

“Send out the girl!” one of them yelled.

He hated how scared she looked. The smell of her fear wafted through the cabin.

"Not a chance," Cyrus yelled out through a crack in the front door.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Cyrus," the man yelled.

Cyrus peered out the window again, taking in the group of men approaching his cabin. When his eyes focused on the man who’d just spoken, his heart sank into his stomach. He couldn't believe his eyes. He hasn't seen this man in years. Not since the war. Of all the betrayals one could experience, the betrayal of his brother-in-arms was the worst. It was Pierce Evert, the wolf shifter who had shot him in the back, quite literally, during the war. And left him for dead.

"Get off my land, or I'll kill you all," Cyrus barked.

“You asked for it, buddy," Pierce said.

The men had been in the same regiment during the Great War. Pierce had been like a brother to him, and he had trusted him like a brother. But that trust had been misplaced. In the chaos of war, there were no consequences.

"Pierce Evert," Cyrus yelled out the crack in the front door. "This one's for you."

Cyrus pointed the muzzle of his shotgun out of the crack in the door, aiming with his shifter senses for absolute precision. He pulled the trigger and the bullets flew. It hit Pierce’s left shoulder, cutting through his body armor with a loud thwack.

"So, you want to play this the hard way," Pierce said.

"The next bullet will land right between your eyes."

"Take cover, men," Pierce ordered.

"That's right," Cyrus yelled. "Run."

"Don't flatter yourself," Pierce growled right back.

Cyrus shut the front door and turned to Daisy. He crossed the space between them and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Who is that?" she asked.

"Someone I used to know," Cyrus said.

"Who is he?"

"We fought in the war together."

"Why is he here?"

"He’s here for you."

Cyrus grimaced, angry to the core. He couldn’t even look into his mate’s eyes. It hurt to have the beautiful moment they had just shared broken like this.

"Can you beat them?" she asked.

"I’m outgunned and outnumbered. Those men are all shifters. Five hyenas and Pierce, who is a wolf.”

"I never meant to bring them to your door, Cyrus. I'm so sorry."

"This is not your fault, Daisy," he said.

"I should give myself up."

"Never. I would die first."

Cyrus tensed up and crossed the room. Anger, fueled by love, flashed inside him. He looked out the window again, motioning to Daisy to duck below the line of fire under the window.
