Chapter 21

Lily ran beside me, her shifter speed much slower than mine. But I didn’t mind compensating for her. She was so strong now, since Anjelo’s death, so determined. I didn’t have the right to tamp that part of her down.

We reached Bar Harbor after sunrise, using country roads and national forest routes, stopping every hour or so to catch our breaths. The advantage of being a shifter meant that even traveling at supernatural speeds, we recovered pretty fast.

Unless of course we were injured.

The coast was beautiful, the sand and ocean drenched in the dull morning glare. Gulls rode gusts of wind and salt coated my lips as we stood on the rise above the nearest beach. It wasn’t Sand Beach, but it wouldn’t take long to find the place. I checked my phone for the coordinates Baz had sent, then plugged them into the GPS.

“We’re about a mile from Sand Beach so let’s move.”

Lily stayed a little behind me, following my lead as we ran.

And when we did stop on the hillside above the beach, the view caught my breath. The curved sandy shore was a narrow golden strip, bracketed by a verge of grass and tall fir trees, and the blue waters of the North Atlantic. The shore opposite us was a disorganized pile of rocks. All in all, it was a stunningly gorgeous beach - the perfect place to hide out.

Not that Sienna would know to hide out.

Logan hadn’t mentioned trees or grass. But if Sienna had been looking out at the sea the entire time, he would have missed it.

I shook my head and stared down at the empty beach. Hidden by the firs along the rise we watched the shore. “You think she’ll come here this early in the morning?”

I shrugged. “It’s a Saturday. Who knows?”

“Doesn’t she have a job or something?”

“We don’t know. And besides she’s only twenty. She may be studying somewhere and Logan just caught her in one place on a road trip somewhere.” I sighed. “This could just be a wild goose chase.”

Or worse. Sienna could very well be studying abroad and that beach could be Mykonos or Ireland or Durban for all we knew.

“But we have to chase it.” Lily nodded then glanced back at the sand. A gust of wind threw sand in the air and I heard the rustling of the grains as they landed. “You want to get closer?” Lily asked.

I studied the shoreline all the way until the rocks. “I’m not sure we should reveal ourselves so soon. Or at all.”

“Nobody knows we’re here, Kai. Only Baz, and you swore him to secrecy.”

I grunted, then headed down the hillside and out of the trees.

“So what’s our cover story?” asked Lily, tramping behind me.

“Sisters? Taking a road trip?”

“How do I explain not being in school?”

“You’re not as young as you look?” I said, raising my eyebrows. At her smirk I said, “Sorry, you’re the one who wanted to tag along.”

She stuck out her tongue and we continued to pick our way toward the narrow strip of grass.
