MIKAEL

I peered at the compound from across the distance and felt my heart hammering like it wanted to beat straight out of my chest.

Danyal was behind those walls. It wasn’t just the knowledge that’s where he’d been taken, but I could sense him. I could almost scent him on the breeze. I had parted ways with the small group in Paris, making the drive on my own in order to get Danyal out without distractions. They wouldn’t be far behind me, but this was to give me time to rescue him before they laid waste to Kasher’s land.

I had a feeling they were near, but it was better that I didn’t know where they were or how close they were to striking.

If I was captured, at least I wouldn’t have information to offer.

I reached the compound just before eleven, and the sky was dark and hazy off in the distance. In the south, I could smell the ocean on the breeze, and it made me wonder what it would be like to enjoy the moment free from the weight of war.

But that had never been for me, not even before the humans fired the first shot.

Swallowing thickly, I crept closer, then checked my watch. Just before midnight, power would be cut off, and that was my cue to go. I was informed that I would have to find Danyal outside of the walls. There would be humans after him, armed with weapons trained to take down a Wolf, which meant our chances of escape were dwindling, but if he wasn’t harmed, I trusted him to fight at my side.

I trusted him to be capable.

Feeling my wolf rippling beneath the surface of my skin, I kept low to the ground and waited. I hadn’t fought like this in the war—this quiet, stealthy attack. I hadn’t been trained for much beyond finding and killing any human that came across my path.

It was difficult to wait here in the shadows, knowing he was behind those walls. Knowing that he could be taken down before I got to him.

I felt like I was going out of my mind, but as the sky darkened even further, it happened. There was a sudden and profound silence as the electricity in the area died. I could see through the blackness though, to figures taking off at a run. There were several shouts, and I knew it was time for me to run. Hervé said they were going to disarm the security system; they were going to give the humans a chance to panic, and only then would they attack.

That was my window to grab Danyal and get as far from Kasher as we could.

I took off at a run, lifting my nose into the air and searching for his scent. It only took a minute to find it, and it was wrapped around someone else’s. It wasn’t a scent I recognized, but it didn’t matter. If someone was holding him prisoner—they wouldn’t be alive for long.
