Because Ethan thinks he found the frightened girl who ran from him years ago.

He has no fucking idea what I found while I was gone.

Chapter 29

Havoc

I’ve felt fear before in my life.

Anger.

Pain.

I’ve faced fires—wild infernos where the flames themselves threatened to eat everything alive in their path. I’ve stood in smoke so thick I couldn’t see my own fucking hands and listened to hundred-foot trees crack and fall around me.

I’ve thought I was going to die more than once.

None of it comes close to the rage burning inside me right now.

Because this isn’t me in danger.

This is my family.

My mate is sitting in the passenger seat of my truck, one hand clenched around the seat belt, the other wrapped around her phone like she might be able to reach through the damn thing and pull her son back to her.

Our son.

Matteo.

My pup.

Some motherfucker took my pup.

Monster has gone eerily silent.

That should probably scare the shit out of me.

It does.

Because Monster’s loud when he’s pissed. Growling. Snarling. Clawing at me from the inside.

Right now?

Nothing.

The Wolf and I are completely fucking aligned. There’s no Rowan and Monster.

There’s just us.

Find.

Protect.

Kill.

I drive one-handed while I hit the call button on my phone.

Wreck answers on the second ring. Justin comes on a second later.
