She raises an eyebrow at me, and I shrug.
“Their wolves were really dumb. I would have beaten them if they’d played fair.”
“They were chimera,” Alina says. “And if they’d known what they really were then you would have been in real trouble.”
She’s not wrong, but I don’t have to like it.
I keep my mouth shut while they discuss what Scar’s brothers discovered, only moving a little to watch Fox’s mouth as he insists on relaying most of the information so that I’m not left out of the loop.
The more I hear, the more I want to be a part of the plan.
I know none of them will agree to that.
But I can’t help wishing that they would.
Chapter Ten
Scar
Goingbywhatmybrothers have discovered, it seems that we have two chimera that should be easy to draw out on their own to battle, and one who may be problematic due to where she is living.
Lita looks worried when we talk about the third chimera.
“You’ll need to be very careful with Maria,” my mother says. “I wouldn’t have put it past her to hurt the kids if anyone threatened her, and that’s before I knew what she really was.”
“I shouldn’t have made Adam go back with her,” Lita says.
“Adam?” I ask my mother, wondering why there’s a child they know of by name.
Sighing, she explains, “There’s a little boy with a stutter who likes being around us because we can use ASL, so he doesn’t have to talk when he’s with us. It seemed like he was unhappy the last time we saw him, but all the children are raised in the nursery, and he wouldn’t tell us what was wrong.”
She turns to Lita. “There is nothing you could have done about that.”
“He’s in danger now,” Lita says.
“That isn’t your fault.”
The assurance doesn’t seem to make Lita feel better.
Clearly, my mate is worried about this child.
I will not feel as if our job has been done until we have personally ensured his safety.
Getting to my feet, I ask my mother if I can speak with her for a moment while my brothers wait outside. Scratch moves past me and leaves the room without a second of hesitation. I do not think he feels entirely comfortable inside the house. He has seemed agitated since he arrived.
I glance at Fox and draw him a look.
He sighs before he gets to his feet.
Lita’s gaze is still on the door.
I know she wishes to come with us, but it is not safe.
We do not know what abilities the chimera possess.
It seems likely that Maria can control the weather like my father could, but other than that we are in the dark, and the possibilities might as well be endless. Our hopes of winning the fights are built on our ability to work together as a team.
Fox stops at Lita’s side and takes her hand in his.
