Only five of Ryan’s most trusted wolves knew what was about to happen. They’d secured the crowd-control net and were ready. Natalie would arrive in an invisible state and draw the team inside her spell.
Grant and Ryan’s team would wait in the pit for Kryder to arrive.
The pack had already been summoned and would be moving quickly down to the arena at the lowest level of the compound.
As he began his descent, he reached out to Natalie. Time to go invisible.
He heard her murmur softly, “Begin.”
She disappeared but kept a hand on his arm as he touched down outside the compound.
His pack’s primary residence needed the money Kryder siphoned off for The Sapphire Club. The exterior was the former lobby of an old but quite large apartment complex. Pack members occupied most of the aboveground apartments, though more recent lower-level additions had increased the number of available living spaces considerably.
However, plumbing issues occurred all the time along with electrical problems because Kryder wouldn’t authorize the necessary repairs. Cursing could be heard up and down the halls all hours of the day and night. Occasionally, there’d be a flood.
He walked through the door giving Natalie enough time to pass through. I’m here. Her voice was sweet inside his mind.
Good. Stay close and stay on my right.
Got it.
On both sides of the entrance, pack wolves dipped their foreheads to him.
Did they come to greet you?
Yes. By now, the entire pack will be assembling and lining the halls or waiting in the arena. See the stairs up ahead?
I do, she said.
We’ll be descending through there. You’d better walk behind me but stick close. Good, here’s Ryan. You’ll want to go with him.
Grant shifted gears and spoke telepathically to his beta. Natalie is with me but invisible. She’ll follow directly behind you. Is the net in place?
Yes, Boss.
Switching back, he spoke to Natalie. Go with Ryan but stay behind him. He’ll offer guidance as needed. I have to change. And Natalie?
Yes?
Stay alive.
I’ll do my best. You do the same.
With that, he greeted several of the wolves who had helped guard Natalie’s house and headed with them to the locker room.

Natalie fell in behind Ryan and spoke to him telepathically letting him know where she was. They headed the opposite direction as Grant.
It’s strange to be talking to you while you’re invisible.
Your telepathy is perfect. Do your wolves have the net?
Yes, it’s ready to go. Kryder will be an angry bear in a cage when he realizes what we’ve done. I sure as hell hope this works.
It will. Natalie spoke with a confidence she didn’t feel. There were a ton of holes in this plan, like whether or not the pack would even allow Grant to take over in this way. She’d heard tales of the extent packs were bound to their alphas, the level of loyalty each wolf felt compelled to show no matter what.
Right now, what worked for them was the torturous deaths of the two young female wolves. Everyone had a breaking point. Maybe this would be enough to carry the entire pack out from under Kryder’s heinous control.
