It went on for several minutes before Fare shoved Fritz over the desk. “Enjoy Dave, Fritzy boy. He’ll likely be your last fuck.”

He started toward the door, then paused to glance back.

“Oh, your memories are free now. Enjoy.”

If evil had a grin, it was the one Fare wore now as Fritz’s legs buckled.

I reached forward to pause the feed, my attention going to Kieran. “The Alphas arrive about fifteen minutes after this point. I think you know what happened next.”

My cousin’s jaw flexed, his cheekbones appearing that much more severe as a result. “So Fritz has been unwittingly working with Fare for… over a century?”

“Maybe even longer.” I shook my head. “It’s hard to say when that enchantment was put on the necklace. Before Kiana’s and Seamus’s deaths? Right after?”

“Whenever it was, Fare’s been playing the long game. I assume you’ve notified Cillian already?”

I nodded. “He has Myon in custody for questioning again because I told him Fare mentioned the necklace.” And we already knew Myon was involved in the enchantment.

The question became, was he working with Fare willingly or unwillingly?

My instincts said it was the latter, that if Myon was working with Fare, it was because the Vampire Alpha had compelled him to obey. Just like Fare had done to Fritz.

I’d known something was off. My wolf had sensed it. I’d felt it, too.

“How did they get through the barrier?” Jas asked, her voice devoid of emotion despite the heavy topic at hand.

She was definitely a warrior. Just like Kyra.

You’ll survive this,I thought at her now.You’ll survive, and I’ll find you and I’ll watch you kill that asshole once and for all.

Swallowing, I focused on Jas’s question. “I haven’t been out to investigate the barrier yet. But Cillian suspects the necklace’s explosion created a back door of some kind that allowed them to teleport in.”

“It also likely broadcast the island’s location,” Kieran muttered.

I agreed with a nod. “That’s how Fare was able to find Kyra after all this time. The barrier would have let him pass as her mate. But he took it a step further by bringing along some friends.”

“So the necklace had to have been doubly enchanted.”

“Right. But does Myon know about it?” It was the same question I’d voiced to Cillian two hours ago.

While Myon had mentioned the locator charm, he hadn’t said anything about creating a barrier entry point.

“I assume that’s what Cillian is trying to determine right now.” Kieran voiced it as a statement, not a question.

I dipped my chin in confirmation.

“Our best estimation right now is that the vampires had arrived via a stealth jet, then waited for the signal to teleport inside,” I summarized.

It was a guess since most vampires couldn’t teleport long distances. Some couldn’t even teleport at all.

“Seems likely.” He paused for a moment, his gaze sharpening. “Any idea where Fare has taken Kyra?”

I shook my head. “Her mind is silent. But…” I trailed off, my lips pulling tightly at the sides. “But I can feel her pain.”

Whatever that bastard was doing to her was enough for her wolf to reach out with frightened yelps. But they were sporadic.

However, the agony rippling through our bond was constant.

“Then we need to wake Fritz up and find out everything he knows,” Kieran said, moving toward the Omega. “We also need to come up with a defensive plan. The barrier has been compromised, and it’s going to take time for me and Quinnlynn to repair it. Especially since we don’t know what’s wrong with it.”
