Someone grunted next to me, and I assumed it was Flint or Trent of one of the other packs.
“We’ll deal with that problem next,” he said.
I couldn’t agree more, but we slowed, approaching the next part of the plan. Four trucks. That would fit all of us and get everyone away safely. For now.

“Every truck made it to their destination,” said Colton as he burst through the door.
I nodded as I looked at my mate. She was sleeping, finally.
Quiet. She just fell asleep.
Colton nodded.
Sorry. We need to move on part two.
He wasn’t wrong. But I wasn’t ready to leave her. The plan had worked. A cynical little laugh bubbled up inside me. Plan? Fuck. We’d been flying by the seat of our fucking pants the whole time.
Yes. Part two. Have you heard from the others?
I tore my gaze away from her resting shape in time to catch him nod.
The guards have been tripled. The females we have are safe in one of the rooms in our wing making it easier to guard.
As the alpha, I’d always assumed the hardest part of the day would be pack deputes. I was wrong. It was getting away from my sleeping mate.
I followed Colton out the door, careful to lock it behind me and pat the only key that could open it from this side.
“Tell me there is someone to beat.”
Colton nodded.
“Although we all got to our destinations there were a few rogues that followed each of us. All have been captured and the beauty of their dislike of organization is that they have no pack link to relay anything.”
We walked in silence. Our only companion, the thud of our footfalls over the wood, and then nothing as we stood towards the only place that I could let out anger freely.
The same familiar smell of earth and fear. The weight of the pack lifted. The weight of nearly losing my mate was able to consume my rage.
A few more steps down the hall and there they were. Chained, just like they’d done to those females.
I squatted in front of the largest of the three.
“So you came to make sure of the safe delivery of the females then?”
He spit at me, and I ducked in time for it to hit the wall behind me.
“You?” I turned my attention next to him.
“Why did you follow. What is the point? You are rouge. You have no way to connect with the others. Here I can kill you if I choose.”
None of them met my gaze. He kept his eyes locked onto the floor.
“Where are you from. What pack did you desert?”
I sniffed the air around them. Fear. Dirt. Sweat. I stood a little taller.
“You aren’t rogues. What business do you have here?”
