“Do you think they have Shilan in one of those rooms?” Kai asked, horrified at the thought she’d been detained.

“It’s possible. This brown wolf. Whatever it is, it could have killed Alex. With Kasdeya’s help, they might have the whole damn pack shut down.” Jake stretched his neck and sighed. “I think what we do is go in full force at nightfall. Take the chopper in and if needed, both Kai and Quint here can zap us out.”

“I don’t know if I can take anyone else,” Kai told him, unsure of her abilities.

“You get yourself out. Quintus can take Hunter.”

“But what about you?” she asked, concern in her voice.

“I’m taking the wolf.”

“They’ll be expecting us after last night,” Quintus stated as he poured coffee.

“Yeah, but they won’t be expecting Kai. Last night they had wards set up. My guess is that they haven’t had time for that shit in the desert. It’s not Kasdeya’s stomping ground. She was planning on taking us out last night.”

“She wanted the Kris,” Kai said.

“She wanted the Kris because she knew it would destroy her little demon trick. That ship has sailed. I say we leave it here in Hunter’s safe.”

“I’ve got wards on this place. Kasdeya won’t even see it, let alone be able to get in here,” Hunter assured them.

“Look sweetheart, I’m going to be calling on your beast if we need her. No offense to you, Quint, but Kasdeya has had several years of this demon mojo going for her. Even though she split, she might still have something in her. We can’t chance it.”

As Jake and Hunter continued to strategize, Kai’s beast stirred. Its time had come to fruition. The evil that had taken her sister would wish for a thousand deaths. No longer restrained, her great pixiu would rise. Fighting with her Alpha, she would protect her mate and her pack.
