“That’s precisely what they’re doing,” I warn her. “They may not know exactly who’s been starving them out, but they know someone is behind it. Theywantyou to rush in so they can get more of us.”
“Well, if something doesn’t happen soon, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Almost everyone, especially my mom, is ready to storm in and free him.”
I cut her off quickly. “You can’t let that happen.”
She heaves out a heavy breath. “I know. The only thing stopping them is me and Mizu. Pearl…”
“Yes?”
“We could really use your help.”
I glance back at the path to the village, even more torn than I was already.
“I know your mate is important, and I don’t know that I would be able to choose anything other than Mizu to focus on if I were in your shoes but…”
“Shit,” I whisper and begin pacing on the beach.
She needs help. My pod needs help. My kind needs help, but so does my mate. Can I really chance sacrificing either of them?
“Pearl?” Kristle’s concerned voice halts my muttering under my breath and sparks a new idea.
“Okay, new plan. Send everyone except you and Mizu back to the island. Tomorrow, we attack.”
“And me and Mizu?”
“You stay and monitor the situation, take as many pictures as you can, and send them to me. The more we know the better.”
“Okay,” she says, sounding a little more lighthearted than before.
“Pearl?” Skarlyt says, running up to meet me by the water.
“What is it?” I search her panicked face for answers. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Loukas.”
“Kristle, I have to go. Stick to the plan. Tell everyone I’ll meet them on the island as soon as I can.”
Kristle pauses, and I can sense her disbelief. She knows how important a mate is, and she thinks I’m going to only focus on Loukas and forget about her cousin.
“I will be there. I promise. See you tomorrow,” I tell her, waiting to hear her exhale before hanging up.
“Now, what about Loukas?” I ask, turning to Skarlyt.
“He made it to the Ironwood pack, but…”
“What?”
She bites her lip, concern lining her features.
“He was attacked and…”
“Take me to himnow,” I demand, gripping her hand.
She doesn’t waste time arguing with me, she simply grips my hand in her own and focuses for a moment before popping us up in front of the alpha house in Parry Sound.
I don’t wait for Skarlyt. I simply stomp up the steps and let myself into the house. I don’t know the new alpha pair well, but their house is familiar.
“Where is he?” I demand of Aryn as soon as I lay eyes upon him.
