Cole practically crushed my hand as he gripped it in his own and pulled me through the thin slice that had once been a large doorway. We had sent the rest of the pack through first.

Landing with a thud, I was glad of the soft ground as we seemed to land from some ten feet up. Damn fae.

I didn’t get a chance to stand. Cole glared at everyone else, who quickly took the hint and returned to the cars. He held me close and stroked my cheek as he looked into my eyes with an intensity I hadn’t seen before.

“I’m sorry that I trusted Natasha. My sense of honor overrode my instincts. Natasha played me and put our pack at risk. Can you forgive me?”

I took his bottom lip between my teeth and slowly bit down.

“I’ll think about it,” I said playfully.

He buried his face in my neck and kissed along my collarbone. My heart fluttered in my chest as I felt the deep affection through the bone. Every kiss was a gentle caress and a promise that this would never happen again.

“This isn’t over yet,” I whispered.

Cole took a deep breath and nodded.

“No. It’s far from over.”

“I brought the Blue Dagger pack onto our side.”

He quirked an eyebrow.

“They refuse to speak to anyone.”

I grinned at him.

“I’m a guardian.”

Pride shone from his face and warmth spread through me in response. We both stood, and Cole put his arm around my waist. I leaned into him, glad to have him back where he belonged. It was far too easy, but I allowed myself a few quiet moments of happiness.

Cole tensed when he saw Rowan leaning against the hood of my Mustang with his arms crossed.

“This is Rowan. Beta of the Blue Dagger pack.”

Rowan nodded to Cole who in turn relaxed.

“Tell me everything,” Cole commanded.

I gave him a quick summary of the mess we’d gotten ourselves into while Amy plied him with food and water.

“We’re in a worse position than I’d feared,” Cole said.

Everything was going too smoothly. I couldn’t hear any footsteps. There was no sign of the witch or Natasha.

“Where are Natasha and Liam?” I asked Cole.

He frowned, deep lines forming between his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen them since I was knocked out. It’s difficult to track time in that place.”

No. This was too easy. Something was very wrong here. They’d never make it this easy.

Looking around, I tried to spot the traps, the incoming army, the attack. There was nothing. Just beautiful old forest and the crumbling stables.

Cole flickered out the corner of my eye. His eyes sparked a brilliant green for just a second. Amy blurred and became slightly taller when I glanced over at her.

No. This was wrong.

I pulled away from Cole and snarled.

“Who and what are you!?”
