“Beast.”
I met his eyes.
“You stay calm.”
“I am calm.”
“You cracked a coffee mug yesterday.”
“That mug was weak.”
Trigger snorted.
Wolf didn’t smile.
“This is different.”
“I know.”
Gerald had a gun.
He had ammunition.
And he was unstable.
But he had also made the biggest mistake of his life.
He had come after Sadie.
And now every road leading out of Eagle River was closing.
I got into my truck.
Wolf climbed into the passenger seat.
Trigger followed in his own vehicle.
Behind us, Sheriff Cooper’s deputies pulled onto the road.
Ahead of us…
The old logging road disappeared into the hills.
Somewhere beyond those trees, Gerald was hiding.
Somewhere beyond those trees, he was watching Sadie through binoculars.
Thinking he had time.
Thinking he was safe.
He didn’t.
Because I was coming.
And I wasn’t stopping until I found him.
