“How did you get in here?”
I shook my head at Albert. “That’s not what you should be asking. You should be asking how much I’ll make you suffer before you die for targeting Evie.”
Surprise flashed through his eyes. He’d thought I had come here as retaliation for attempting to stoke a war between various werewolf packs. He thought I’d come to threaten him, maybe punish him, for the reputational damage he’d caused us among the humans.
I gave him a slow smile, and he trembled. “Evie is my mate.”
His trembling turned to a full-body shudder, and my wolf silently howled his victory. We’d kill this threat to our mate. And then we’d convince her to return to our territory. To our home. Where she belonged.
I allowed the wolf to take over, only shoving him aside when I needed to travel back to my territory.
Hunter gaped at me as I stepped into the house. He immediately dropped his eyes, although not before I saw his own wolf peek out at the scent of the blood covering me.
“You killed Albert.”
His voice was carefully neutral.
“Yes,” I growled, still on the killing edge.
Ryker stepped into the room. “There’s something you need to know. Vassago just called.”
“And?”
“Kyla went into the seelie realm. Evie went after her.”
That fucking sword. I’d always planned to be there to make sure they didn’t cause a war—or worse, end up dead. But they went after it alone.
“You can’t follow her,” Ryker said. He stiffened when he felt my gaze on him and kept his own eyes down. “Tomorrow is the full moon. She’s your mate. We just lost a pack member. There’s no way your wolf will stay in control.”
I watched him. My wolf pondered whether he should live. Hunter stepped into my line of sight. And that was how I’d chosen my dominants. Because they were loyal to me, but even more importantly, they were loyal to one another. That loyalty was good for the pack as a whole.
My wolf agreed. Ryker would live. But wewouldbe finding our mate.
I’d known Evie would run. That was okay. I was going to prove we belonged together. Right after I saved her life, kissed her lush mouth, and spanked her ass.
I threw my head back and howled my fury.

Evie
Ihad everything I needed.
At least, that’s what I was choosing to believe.
The ring would help significantly. I’d worked a look-away spell once before, making myself appear invisible to an ex when I pranked him. But that was only good for a few minutes before I would be a shaky, weak mess. Turns out, convincing the human brain that you weren’t standing in front of them took a lot of power.
The ring would solve that problem.
After Danica had handed over Angelica’s ring, I’d borrowed extra clothes and weapons, packing them in the backpack. I might be pissed at my sister, but I wasn’t an idiot.
Most of the time.
And I was distracting myself from the terror that made my hands shake. Kyla had been gone for too long.
“Of all the stupid, reckless,insanethings to do,” I muttered as the portal came into view.
I parked in Cate’s Landing, slammed my door closed, and opened the back door, pulling out the bag Aubrey had given me. I’d had a quick look but hadn’t had time for much more. All I could hope was that there were enough of his little “tricks” that, combined with my own power, Kyla and I would both stay alive.
