“ T he timeline is moving up.”

“Are they in trouble?” Henry is up and standing in front of me as I move into his room.

“No, they’re fine.” I feel for the bond with Red automatically, even though I just finished talking to her. There’s nothing there to alert me to immediate danger. “However, Adicious is planning a mating ceremony, for the day after tomorrow.”

“Mating Ceremony?”

I fill Henry in on everything Red told me, including how Antares is getting in fights when he’s supposed to be looking after my mate. She didn’t want to, knowing I’d be seething at the little shit but seeing as that is what disrupted our first conversation she had to.

It was only after she’d patched him up that she’d reached out again to tell me about Adicious’s bullshit ceremony.

“We’re gatecrashing that right?” Henry gets a gleam in his eye, I think he’s itching for the fight as much as I am now.

“Indeed. I’ve just left a message for the wolves too.”

“It’s all coming together, isn’t it?”

“Don’t jinx it!” I cut over him, punching his arm lightly.

“Are the wolves going to make it in time?”

“I think so, I am waiting for Ash to get back to me.”

“If not?”

“We can take them. I’m not chancing Red getting bonded to Adicious.”

“No, I didn’t mean that. It's just, at worst odds, it's six against ten, maybe twelve?”

“Hopefully it's eight against seven, if Red is correct and Jackson and Bartie are on our side. And four are still on the continent.”

“We don’t know when they’re returning?”

“No, but even if they are travelling back and it is eight against all the rest, we have the element of surprise.”

“I don’t like it but it’s doable.” Henry’s doubt is written on his face. “We need the wolves at this point, they’d tip the scales.”

“Let's hope they got my message.”
