The cameras in your shitty pack!â Gaultier snarls about to shove me when Zade intercepts him.
âHey⦠man, calm the fuck down.â He warns him and Iâm doing my fucking all to stop myself from bashing his fucking face in Thatâs when I hear it, the extremely silent footsteps of Lawrence. He was freaking silent, even more than me, able to mask his scent and heartbeat efficiently and I donât think he even realises I can sense him and that is something I donât plan to let 1. on.
âI would listen to him, and have any of you notified Gerard of this? Itâs no small matter. If something has happened with the cameras, then we need to let him know Not that they can do anything.
Lawrence has stopped, heâs listening.
âOh yeah? What are we going to tell him? That somehow, they found out?â Gaultier asks coldly.
âWait⦠do you think theyâve discovered them?â Zade says suddenly.
âWhat do you mean?â I ask.
âFuck. I mean our people in that pack. Maybe we do need to tell Gerard and Father right now,â Zade says suddenly.
âNot maybe, we do,â I say, just as Lawrence begins moving again.
âSebastian is right, there is no maybe to it.â his voice comes from to the left, making both men tense as he steps into the light âYes, of course. Zade says, lowering his head.
âNow whatâs happened?â he asks them coldly You got this, Zaia destroy them âThey have possibly discovered Ms Agatha. All the cameras have been pulled.â Zade says, making my blood run cold.
Agatha?
I look up sharply, my heart thudding as I stare at him.
Mom?
No, it must be some otherâ¦.
My mind is spinning as Lawrence sighs heavily.
âGaultier, go to the borders of the pack. See if you can mind link her.â He commands, and he nods before he walks off.
âWhat do you mean mind link her, and is this my mother?â I ask. The words are like poison in my mouth.
Lawrence looks at me.
âYes, she is and Gaultierâs so he can mind link her as they are family.â He says, almost as if wanting to see how I react to it.
What?
âIs that a surprise to you, Sebastian?â Lawrence asks keenly.
I shake my head, although her betrayal feels like a punch in the gut. âNo, I mean- yes, about Gaultier, but Mom belongs on our side. Sheâs always been my greatest cheerleader, to know that even now I am making her proud feels⦠good.â
No, it fucking doesnât. How could she do this? Everything was a fucking lieâ¦
My mind is a fucking storm as I try to keep myself together.
Zaia let her near the children. Sheâs been in the safe house. My stomach churns and itâs taking my all not to react. I fucking pray she has been caught. I canât risk her near the children or around Zaia.
âItâs all for a good cause,â Lawrence says as he walks over to me and places his hands on my shoulder.
âNow. How about the two of us have a little chatâ¦â
15 BCAUS âSure,â I say. âI do have a question. If Mom is captured, then what? Will she be safe?â
He smiles.
âAs safe as Gaspardâs woman is. Your woman may have shot you, but I donât think she will kill your mother,â he smiles.
âShe isnât my woman.â I correct him and I fucking mean it because I donât fucking deserve her.
The memory of her touch, her body against mine, the feel of her lips⦠her scentâ¦.
No, I donât deserve her.
His smile only widens as he pats my back, a move that irks me deeply.
âWell, regardless, she is the mother of your children, and you must respect her, right?â
âWe are on opposite sides, and we are nothing to one another,â I reassure him.
