Does he really think when I reincarnate, I will help him?
How about we worry about the fact he’s planning to kill me? Baptiste snapped to his other side.
Not ideal, I’ll admit. You’ve been a rather interesting host. Not to mention it took me decades to choose you.
Then help me stop him.
Maybe if you’d let me eat his face like I asked we wouldn’t be in this spot. Now, as you humans like to say, we’re fucked.
An ominous reply. Would this be how his life ended? How unfair. Especially after such an epic night.
And what of Daphne? What would she think when he didn’t return? What would happen to her? What if Circe found her?
He had to escape.
Hours later, bound to a fat tree with ropes weaved in silver, in the midst of the well-guarded compound, he’d yet to find a way to do so.
Was nice knowing you. Garou thought their fate a foregone conclusion.
However, Baptiste wasn’t ready to give up, not when he heard the Earth Mother whisper, All things happen for a reason. Have faith. Help is coming.
Which could only mean Daphne. Daphne against a Pack about to shift with the full moon.
They’d tear her apart.
And there wasn’t a fucking thing he could do to stop it.
Awoooo!
Chapter 16
“Where is he?” Daphne asked the Mother because suspecting who had Baptiste and locating him were two different things.
His uncle has him inside the Pack compound. Heavily secured. You won’t get in without help.
Help? Daphne would usually eschew any but the last time she got cocky, she was severely injured and cursed for centuries. Add in that Baptiste’s life might very well end up in the balance and she truly couldn’t take any chances.
Luckily, Baptiste had left his phone behind—which was password locked.
She glared at the device. “Open.”
It didn’t obey.
“I command you to give me access.”
Also didn’t work.
She glared at the annoying object, and as if it sensed her ire, it suddenly rang. The screen displayed a red and green circle.
Green meant go, so she poked it.
“Hi Baptiste,” Marissa greeted.
“It’s Daphne,” she quickly corrected. “Baptiste has been taken.”
A pause on the other end before Marissa replied, “Did Circe get him?”
“Worse than that. His uncle did. Mother says I should seek reinforcements to fetch him.”
