Chapter 68

Chapter 0068

Kai is going crazy in my head. If he wants her for a Luna, then he will force his mark on her and mate her against her will. That’s the only way to force the bond.

Kai snarls and it’s all I can do to keep any control over him. My body is shaking and fur begins to sprout on my body. “Tell me where this pack is and I’ll go see if she’s there.” My voice is deep with Kai’s overlaying mine.

From behind me, I hear, “I’ll go with you.” I turn to see Liam has walked in. He gives me a long, measured look. “Neither of us wants her to be forced into a mate bond. I’ll go with you, and we’ll find her if she’s there.”

I fight with Kai who doesn’t want Liam near her either, but right now it’s about getting Cara away from that monster and safely home. I nod in agreement.

Later that day, Liam and I set out together. The Silver Dawn Pack isn’t that far. If they are there, they sent us on a wild goose chase then doubled back.

When we get close, Liam and I hide the truck in a secluded area and shift to go on foot. Liam knows where the pack lands are, so I follow him.

When we arrive, I am shocked to see what looks like an operational pack in place. While the buildings all look like they are crumbling and about to disintegrate, there are plenty of wolves taking up residence. Liam and I are careful to divert around the patrols that are monitoring the perimeter of the pack lands.

We shift back and watch as hundreds of wolves go about their lives. Liam points to a large building that looks on the verge of collapse. “That’s the old packhouse. That’s where Cara and Eli will be.”

Almost as if his words have put it into being, I hear Cara’s scream. It was the sound of utter pain and before I could think, I was on my feet ready to go to her.

Liam grabbed me, holding me while I thrashed against him. “Let me go.” I ordered.

“Rik, think! You go in there and you blow our cover. He could take her anywhere and we may not be able to find her again.”

“He’s hurting her!”

“Yes.” He agrees. “But, she’s a Guardian. She can handle pain. We need a plan so we can take him down and get her back. Don’t rush into this like you did before. This won’t be an ambush. If they think they can’t get out, they’ll kill her. We have to think this through. For her.”

My chest is heaving, but I know he’s right. He finally lets me go and I start to walk away. “I’ll call my father and get reinforcements here. I want her out of there as soon as possible. I can’t stand by if he is torturing her. I won’t and neither will Kai.”

“Understood. Call your father. I’ll stay here and keep watch.”

I called my father and updated him on everything. I hang up and walk back to Liam. “They’ll be here tomorrow. I’m going to stay here tonight and keep watch.” He nodded. “I’ll stay too. We can take turns.”
