“Shade, Rylee is with me,” Ezra answers.
“Rylee, I’ve wanted to meet you,” Shade says.
“What do you have for us?” Ezra asks roughly.
“I think I know where he’s going.” We’ve been driving for hours, and he doesn’t seem to have a purpose in the direction.
“Think or know?”
“It’s a little cabin away from a populated area. He’s been taking supplies there.”
“So, he’ll probably take the toys there he bought today,” Ezra hums.
“Fuck, probably.”
“Send the address. It might be worth getting there before he sets up the area.”
“I would. I’ll keep an eye on him until then.”
“I’ll be in touch.” I end the call. “When he messages, enter the address.”
“What if he doesn’t go there?”
“My gut is saying he will. He’s not ready. Much like me, he needs to prepare.”
“You’re nothing like him,” I growl.
“Of course not,” he says, smiling. “Is it wrong that your defense pleases me?”
“No, I felt the same when I told you my secret.”
“Are you ready to end this?” he asks, nodding.
“I'm with you,” I say softly.
I think I always want to be with him.
Chapter Nine
Rylee
“It looks like a quaint cabin.” I stare at the charming home, and it makes my skin crawl. Knowing the asshole is planning on using an otherwise wonderful getaway home is horrible.
“Appearances,” Ezra whispers.
We passed the home as we arrived, and left the car down the road, hidden by trees. Ezra doesn’t want him to become suspicious, and a vehicle parked on the side of the road certainlywould be. My mask covers my face. My mate growled low when I put it on, and I think he likes how it looks. It’s black and hides my features well. The only part of my face that is showing is my right cheek, and half of my lips and chin. There are silver crystals around the holes for my eyes.
“What’s in the bag?” I ask as we walk toward the back of the house.
“My supplies.”
“What are your orders for me?”
We stop on the back porch.
“The sun is going down.” He glances behind us. “He should show soon. He’s human, so he’ll be easy to kill. We wait and listen. Once he walks in, stay behind me.”
“Yes, sir.” I smile.
