Goddess, please watch over him wherever he is.
“Like Adam?” I ask, seeing his expression fall. “He went with you when you took him out of the nursery.”
“That was supposed to be a surprise,” he says, frowning. “You’ve ruined it now.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He looks me over with suspicious eyes, before nodding. “Yeah, okay. Good. Now, come with me.”
I know I won’t get anywhere if I try to ask about Adam again, and I won’t win a fight against him alone if I start one. He could decide to drain me to kill me, or to use his special ability, whatever that might be. His sheer size if he turned into his true form would make a battle impossible to win.
I can only beat him by outsmarting him.
That means I have to play his game.
He nods at me and starts to walk.
I follow without question.
Chapter Forty-Six
Scratch
ScarcallsoutwhenFox and I are running after our mate. He needs help with a chimera, which convinces us to come to a dead stop. It’s already obvious Lita is running home.
We will catch back up.
“Did he yell chimera?” Fox asks, looking back the way we came.
“He did,” I agree. “It sounds like they need help.”
“We can’t let our mate go off on her own,” Fox reminds me.
“One of us should go back and help Scar. He wouldn’t call out like that without good reason.”
Fox groans. “You want me to go, don’t you?”
I shrug. “You can understand Snake better if he’s the one you catch up to first.”
“Damn it,” he curses. “Fine. But go get Lita before she does something crazy.”
He takes off and I do the same.
My mate’s scent trail is still fresh and that makes it simple to follow. I race through the forest, assuming she is headed home, and it seems I am right when I arrive in the back yard.
I sense she is close by, but I am now also picking up another scent.
That of the boy Orion.
Shock floods through me, freezing me in place at the back of the house.
If he is here, then who is the chimera Scar was yelling about?
Did they all come back from The Abyss somehow?
God of Wolves, I hope not.
This boy coming back is bad enough.
