The wolves formed two lines. Mason led the first group and headed to the east of the building, and the other group, with his second-in-command, Patrick, headed to the west.
Once they encircled the building, they found a total of five entry points. Four guards had been swiftly eliminated. They had managed to get in place without anyone inside realizing what was happening outside the building.
Mason picked up the scent of his former alpha, along with his parents. This was so not the reunion he’d hoped to have with his family. He’d hoped that one day they would be able to realize that he had just been a stupid kid, playing with a power he didn’t understand. Instead of shunning him, they could have taken the time to teach him about his gift. He could have learned how to control and use it properly, but they couldn’t be bothered.
The thing that still bugged the fuck out of Mason was … who did he inherit the gift from? His mother or his father? It had to be from his father, as gifts of this nature were passed genetically on the male side.
My family is inside. I’m going to try to talk to them. I want everyone to stay put for now.
I don’t like it,Patrick said.It’s clearly a trap. How do you know they won’t kill you the second you walk through that door?
They won’t. They have some sort of sick point to prove before it comes to them trying to kill me,Mason explained. He was done arguing.
If it sounds like things are going south, storm the warehouse and take out as many as you can.
Will do.

Jane hated to admit it,but she should have listened to Mason and kept her ass safe and sound at his house. But no. She had to prove that she could handle anything that came at her as long as she was prepared for it.
What a joke that had been. She sure as hell hadn’t been prepared for the wolf-man who had broken her window and dragged her out of her car at a stop sign. They had been watching her and waiting for her to be alone again.
She’d tried fighting, kicking, screaming. But this time, there was no Gerri around to help her out. Now, she was tied up in some rotted-out warehouse with whom she could only assume were the missing members of Mason’s pack. She was well and truly fucked as the only human in the bunch, she was far less sturdy than those surrounding her.
The ring leader of the so-called group looked as if he could use a good scrubbing and a haircut. His greasy locks fell to his shoulders. His ripped T-shirt and jeans were caked with dirt and what looked like dried blood, as were his arms and neck. But what scared Jane the most was the evil she saw in his jet-black eyes.
“Why am I here?” she asked.
“Because you’re the key to getting Mason here,” the man said.
“Why would I be the key? We’ve been on one date.” She wanted to play dumb. There was no reason he needed to know that she knew she was Mason’s mate. Though her thoughts on that subject were still up in the air. She liked him, but she was pissed at him, and she still wasn’t looking to hop into any sort of relationship.
“Yet, we found you leaving his house.”
“My friend drove me there,” Jane stammered.
“Your friend, the famous matchmaker and mate finder. We know all about her.”
Jane didn’t know what else to say. The man seemed to know all about her and Gerri. Though how he did, she really couldn’t even begin to guess.
“Why would you dirty yourself with a man like my son?” one man sneered at her.
“I don’t know what you mean.” Jane challenged him.
“I can smell his fucking scent all over you. He is the worst form of wolf in the world. One who uses lies and deception to get what he wants. He muddies our species with his tricks.” The man spat on the floor next to Jane.
“You have no idea who he even is. There is nothing dirty about Mason. He’s a kind mind with a pack that seems to care for him very much.” Though she didn’t know Mason well, she knew enough to know that he was a good man. She had never once gotten the evil vibes from him that she was getting from his father.
“I know everything there is to know about him. He is a monster who should be destroyed to keep his curse from being passed on to a new generation.”
“Well, it’s good to see you, too, father. Please, don’t hold back on my account,” Mason said.
Jane sucked in a deep breath when she saw Mason there by himself.
“Mason, you have to get out of here. It’s a trap!” Jane tried to warn him.
