She hadn’t wanted to stay home while we did this.
She’d wanted to help us.
I don’t think twice about rushing down the dark street that leads away from the chimera’s destination. Scar has a weapon he thinks will work to incapacitate her. Between that and Snake’s determination, they will take that chimera apart in no time.
Lita has the heart and soul of a fighter, but she is not used to physical battles.
She needs our help. Even Scratch cannot deny that.
He follows me as I run, stopping when I do just before the nursery building comes into view ahead.
The chimera is carrying Lita over her shoulder as she slinks off toward the trail to the woods.
I share a worried glance with Scratch, and then we rush forward at the same time.
I stab the metal stick into the chimera’s tail.
“Let her go. Now!”
The thing growls as it turns its big, black feline head toward us.
“Help me!” Lita cries out, struggling in the chimera’s arms.
She looks beat up. There’s a gash on her head, and her clothes are torn.
She’s dirty and she can’t seem to stop crying.
It hurts my heart to see her like this.
“I said, put her down,” I demand, using my Alpha voice and staring back at the creature without blinking.
Scratch puts his arm on my shoulder. “Fox.”
I frown at him, not wanting to take my eyes off our mate, and feeling annoyed that he is trying to get my attention in this moment. “Will you help …”
He pulls me back, moving me away from them. “I am trying to help.”
“Well, you’re awful at it,” I tell him. “So, stop, and let me deal with this.”
I turn to march back to the chimera.
“It is not real!” Scratch growls.
Not real? What is he talking about?
“Our mate is in trouble, and you’re wasting our time …”
“No,” he says. “The chimera who can make us see things is making us see this. Remember what Scar told us.”
What Scar told us?
“Who cares? She’s taking Lita into the woods!”
“That’snotLita!” he yells at me.
I frown at him, glancing back at the chimera, who’s just standing there waiting for us to come back.
That’s a little odd, I guess. Lita looks like she’s sobbing her eyes out as she yells for our help again.
