of them for a while.
I took off running toward the house. It was going to be time consuming and mind numbing, but so help me, I would place money that I could find this asshole by just following his crumbs. Sighting after sighting, I’d go through all of them until he was mine.
I shifted as I hit the porch. I’d made the run back in record time with Anton right on my heels. Swinging around, I stared at my brother. We were both out of breath. “Thanks.”
He nodded before he placed his hand over his heart.
Yeah…that’s what she was. Our heart.
I grabbed a pair of sweatpants that we’d started storing on the porch to take care of the nudity-after-shifts problem and stormed into the house. I’d figure out a shirt later. Right now, I was too hot for one anyway. I stormed into my office.
Mac’s brothers were in there, but they both jumped up like they were ready for orders as soon as I entered.
“How is she?” Agustin asked first.
I shook my head. “Currently not verbal. Which might be better because she smells like pain.”
I’d had more than enough of that scent from her. We’d finally gotten her back from the agony of losing her mating marks. When this was all over, Mac was going to be warm, well-fed, well-loved, and happy every day of her life.
Or as close to that as I could make it.
Her happiness and well-being were going to be my main objectives in life. And if she didn’t make it through this…well, there would be big steps taken then, too. I wasn’t living a life without her, so there was just no choice but to get through this and come out the other end.
“We have to seek out information on werewolf sightings. I don’t believe the Loup is moving around. He has a central spot. We have to find it.”
Agustin’s eyes lit up. “Great idea.”
I nodded toward Anton. “It was his.”
My brother, shirtless like me, nodded. He held up the laptop computer on the desk. We needed more than just his tablet and my laptop. I had a pack full of werewolves. They all wanted to participate? Great. I’d put them to work.
“Agustin, take the cars. Go out and buy as many devices as you can on the credit card you’ll find in the drawer over there. It’s my work account. I’ll take up my misuse of the account with the IRS later. Buy the store out. And then order more to be delivered tomorrow. I want everyone on this. We’re seeking a place that keeps reporting werewolf sightings. This might take some time, but it’s doable. I know it is.”
Her brother squeezed my arm. “We’ll save my sister.”
We would. And then we were going to kill this fucker. Slowly.
I did love to play with my prey.

I walked toward the end of the dock. I’d been stuck here for days. I couldn’t seem to leave. Whenever I turned around to do so, I kept ending up back on this dock. It was so strange. I couldn’t remember getting here, I couldn’t remember even where I’d been before here.
It was like I’d always existed on this dock.
Only, that wasn’t right. It couldn’t be. Could it?
“Why did you leave me to die?”
The man was back. I sniffed the air. He was a werewolf like me.
I’d seen him before. He was frequently on this dock with me. But this was the first time he’d spoken. Or at least, I thought it was. I couldn’t be sure. My memory was…tricky.
“I don’t recall leaving you to die. I’m not sure I know who you are. I’m not sure I know who I am, and it seems…unlikely I left you to die. Right?”
I had the feeling this wasn’t the first time my memory had gone askew. Why would that be? I wasn’t sure.
“You all left me. All of you Omegas. You left me to die”
Omegas? Should I know what that was?

My mother used to say the problem with me was that I overthought everything. I couldn’t make decisions because I couldn’t decide what would happen to an absolute certainty. I’d see too many sides of too many issues. If I did A, B would happen, and I wasn’t sure I wanted B. Then I’d decide I did want it, but not outcome C. She used to say that I spent so much time thinking with my head, that I’d made no room for my heart in any decisions.
The sad truth was that
