Half the day I spent in the nearby area going over blueprints with my men while waiting for the pilot to get to the airport. He was stuck in traffic after an accident happened on the highway. So once he arrives at the airport, we are already eager to leave and running behind.

I’m just about to board the small plane when I am alerted to Emery’s escape. With a growl, I signal for Kyrio who has stopped with a few of my other men, hearing the mind link open up as panic ensues back home.

“She stole Dimitri’s car,” Ben tells me, and my eyes dart to Dimitri.

“She what?” he demands through the link, but I hold up my hand, silencing him.

“And drove it through the fence,” Ben adds. I curse while Dimitri looks like he is about to faint, that car was his pride and joy. Great, something I have to replace.

“I am on my way, don’t let her out of your sight.”

“On it,” Ben replies, and I jump back in my car to see Kyrio running toward me. I wait, knowing he’ll follow either way. He jumps in the passenger side and I spin the car around, driving out of the small airport.

“What about us, boss?” Dimitri asks as I reach the road. “If I am not back in an hour go ahead, I’ll catch up; we’ll be on the next plane,” I tell him before hearing his grouchy “Yes Alpha.”

When I drive through town, the place is a blur to me. It is gone in a blink of an eye, and the car is sliding up a rocky back road when Ben opens the mind link again to say she has driven off the side of a small cliff, and my heart nearly stops beating.

“Where?” I ask.

“Backside of the mountain,” he tells me, and at the crossroads I turn toward the opposite direction.

How she managed to escape her room is beyond me but something she’ll definitely answer for.

However, before I reach her, I am alerted to them catching her.

I pull over debating what I should do, if I should head back to the airport or check on her.

Either way, she’ll be punished for such an act.

Rubbing my temples, I feel a headache coming on. I have thirty minutes to be back at the small airport. “What are we doing?” Kyrio asks me and I grit my teeth, this is our opportunity to finish all this mess, but her escape has me on edge.

“Dion?” Kyrio asks and I open the mind link. “Is she hurt?” I ask Ben, but Tara eavesdropping answers.

“She is banged up, but she’ll be okay,” Tara answers. Stupid, stupid girl. If she was in front of me I would have shaken some sense into her.

“Put her in the dungeons until I return,” I tell Ben. I hear Tara about to protest, but I shut the mind link down, not wanting to hear it, at least there she’ll be secure.

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Kyrio asks, and I restart the car, turning it around.

“It will make her think twice before running from me again,” I tell him, heading back to the airport.

“Mind link Dimitri and tell him to tell the pilot we are on our way back,” I tell Kyrio, and he does just that while I try to figure out what is going on with Emery.

We are still not past this it appears, and she is still hellbent on escaping me.

Reaching the airport, I park the car next to the hanger and climb out before locking it. Quickly, we jog to the waiting plane, and Dimitri pops his head out the cabin door. “My car?” he asks.

“Just a scratch,” I call back. I don’t need him pining over his car or being distracted. We are about to take on a damn trafficking ring and need to be alert, not distracted.

Climbing aboard with Kyrio, he pulls the hatch shut behind us and I take my seat, however, my mind is elsewhere as the plane takes off.

I can feel slivers through the bond. She may not be too badly injured, but she is in a world of hurt.

That’ll teach her from trying to escape, though what I want to know is, why now?

During the flight, I dozed off, before jolting awake when the plane touches down.

The tires on the small plane screech along the tarmac as it slows before stopping.

The rental cars are already waiting, and we unload all our gear and climb into the trucks.

However, the moment we pull out of the small airport, I feel something is off.

That feeling is only heightened as we drive through the nearby towns. Why is no one out and about?

Eventually, we reach the warehouse, but even here it is quiet, and I glance at Kyrio.

“Something isn’t right, and where are the boats?

” he asks as we move through the industrial area toward the piers.

We park behind the huge warehouse next to the harbor.

There’s not a car in sight, no boats, no people, just an eerie quiet that has me on edge.

“Keep your eyes open, something doesn’t feel right,” I tell him, peering over the roof of the car. My men in the other car pull up and get out, also glancing around nervously.

“Isn’t this place usually packed?” Dimitri asks.

I nod but decide to still check it out while trying to figure out who else knew besides my pack and Anastasia’s sister that we were coming here.

Pulling open the huge doors, we find the warehouse floor completely empty.

Dimitri strolls on in and I peer back out at the harbor.

“Something is not right,” I murmur when a draft from inside the warehouse hits me, and my eyes widen as I spin back around to see my men scouring the empty space. The moment the words leave my mouth, gunfire rings out. “Ambush!” But I am far too late.

I tackle Kyrio to the ground, yet my men inside are sitting ducks as they run for cover.

Shoving Kyrio behind a container, I peer around it just in time to see Dimitri jolt.

My breath comes in short gasps as blood oozes from between his eyes where he was shot, then he collapses on the ground.

A feral snarl leaves me, and I shift before tearing into them to try to save my other men.
