Levi lifted the metal canister and smiled.“It’ll be the last thing he does.”
She was scared.
Down to her bones scared out of her mind.
Scared for Ford.For the herd.
For herself.
But she could feel that link Colton talked about.Somethingotherthat connected her and Ford as soulmates.He was coming for her, she was sure of it.
She was going to hold onto that hope like a lifeline.

A compass.
That’s what Ford’s relationship with Darcy felt like to his stallion.A compass that was pulling him in her direction.He could practically see Darcy in his mind’s eye and feel the pull between them.
Two soulmates, their hearts joined in mating.
Fury pulsed through him as he ran toward her.
Away from the apartment and past the neighborhood behind it, through stretches of woods and over pavement, as cars and scenery blurred by him.His focus was wholly on Darcy.
The woods thickened as he ran, his boots pounding on the ground as he easily navigated toward her.And he knew he was getting close, because that invisible tether between them was growing stronger.
He could sense her fear.
He hoped she knew he was going to come for her.
His herd was tracking him by his phone, the weight of it in his pocket letting him know that he wasn’t in this fight alone.They had his back because they were family.Not by blood, but by choice.They would fight with him, stand by him, through anything.
A cabin came into view.
It was old and looked deserted, but he could feel Darcy inside.
He didn’t stop or falter, calling on his stallion to give him more strength and speed.
With a leap, he turned his shoulder and crashed through the door.
It splintered apart with the hit.He jumped over the debris, cataloging the inside of the cabin.
Colton.One of his buddies.
Darcy.
Ford froze just inside the cabin, even though his stallion urged him to attack.
“I knew you’d come,” Colton sneered as he stood next to Darcy, who was tied to a chair.She looked pale and scared, but as their gazes locked, he saw the relief in her eyes.
“So freaking predictable,” Colton added.
“Let her go, this is between you and me,” Ford said, muscles coiling to fight.
He caught movement from Colton’s crony and picked up the scent of explosives and metal.
Where was the third guy?
