“Found that mangy mutt out near Ren’s place.”
“Because you were there to scare her!” I accused, frowning when they all shook their heads.
“Fuck no. We told you we’d started seeing the error of our ways, and after mama’s tirade about Ren it all came down on us. My mate was already pissed at me after Walker talked to her, and like I said, I finally wised up. We all did. We went out there to patrol. No offense, but your people weren’t exactly keeping up, and Ren’s wolf is useless in a fight.”
“Not to mention how she shoots.” Another Sheppard huffed, sharing a laugh with the rest of them.
Even I snorted and rolled my eyes because as much as Ren wanted to argue, the female couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, even standing right next to the thing.
“So you were out there…?” Cole prompted, losing patience.
“Found that mutt skulking around and figured he was a drifter with no good intent. He tried to shift and attack, but I got to him first. That’s the sum of it. When we realized what had happened, well, I wasn’t going to prison for a Janus pack reject.” Josh said, shrugging while other Enforcers came closer and hummed their agreement. “Plus, he was too close to Ren’s place. I figured he was going after her, and it pissed me off, alright. I have a lot to make up for with her, we all do, and I wasn’t happy about that. I’m not sorry either.”
“And you won’t be,” Walker growled, stepping up beside me and giving me a look.
“You thinking what I am?” he asked, his eyes swirling with fury when I nodded.
“I’m thinking Joe Carver was out here scouting for them, for Shane Sheppard, which means he’s with them.”
“And it means Ren is too.” Trey gasped, cursing soundly while my eyes widened.
“Jesus. They think she can help them with Walker.” I breathed, not sure if I wanted to laugh at the notion or cry.
Ren had the Knowing, and it had taken me some time to come to grips with it. I sounded like an ass, but I didn’t like that she could connect to me and read my mind. Until I realized that wasn’t how it worked for her. The truth was, she dreamed things sometimes, and as for connecting, Ren’s head was so busy arguing anything she did manage to get was scrambled. It was ridiculous to consider her some mind-reading villain.
“Oh, God, Caleb. They’re going to freak when they realize she’s a kook!” Cole yelled, his panic turning my own into a raging sense of desperation.
“We need to move!” I yelled, turning to run while my bear growled, and a stirring in the back of my mind told me my wolf was waking again.
Ignoring it because I didn’t have time to deal with him, I gritted my teeth and only allowed myself to think about what was important.
Ren.
My mate.
Mine.
Chapter 27 Ren
“O
kay. We can do this.” I whispered, my nerves so tight it took me forever to partially shift my teeth and start chewing on the ropes holding my wrists to the chair.
I was shaking so badly that I nearly tore my wrist off, but I kept chewing frantically until I got free and untied my ankles. I was scared. I’d admit that right now. My bravado and crazy wore off around the time Shane started prattling about our life together, having cubs, and so much crazy I realized he was out of his mind.
And not cute crazy like me or adorable crazy like Caleb. I’m talking lunatic, killer, dangerous psycho kind of nuts.
Would you stop talking and run already? I’m about to pee myself, and my mind shrieked while my wolf snickered hysterically.
She was completely gone, like off her rocker gone, and no help, so I wouldn’t even bother trying to shift since getting her to give me teeth was hard enough.
“Okay. Both of you, just chill. I need to concentrate, and I can’t do that when you’re losing it. I need to focus.” I warned them as I crept towards the backdoor and peeked through the window.
Seeing it was clear, I silently opened it and cringed when it creaked so loudly it sounded like a gunshot.
Shit!
“Chill. Don’t you start freaking out on me. I’m having enough trouble not losing it, and the Yellow belly is already enough of a drain on me.” I hissed, peeking my head out to sniff quickly.
