Chapter 183
Braden
Before I knew what I was doing. Lanie and I were crashing to the ground in a heap.
She thrashed and kicked beneath me, but I didn’t care. We were back inside the spell’s protective borders. That was all that mattered.
I let her go, and she scrambled to her feet just as Xander and Zane ran out from the cabin.

They both looked, frankly, like complete s hit. They were scruffy around their jaws, a purple bags under their eyes. Maybe I overestimated their ability to deal with the close quarters.
“What the f uck is this?” Xander asked, his eyes bugged out and crazy. He sprinted down the stairs and straight up to me, planting his hands on my chest and shoving me.

I stag gered back, but recovered quickly, huffing out a humorless laugh.
Zane stood behind Xander, his chest heaving and threatening me with those stu pid wolf eyes.
I co cked my eyebrow at them both. “I was about to ask you the same thing,” I said, motioning to Lanie, who had run to the porch to scoop up Stella. “She was out beyond the border letting her scent seep all over the forest like some deadly siren’s call.”
Lanie looked furious. “I was doing what I had to do to get you here!” she cried.
“Yeah, well you’re lucky I was headed here anyway.” I said. “But we might get unwanted company soon.”

Xander and Zane eyed me suspiciously.
“These are our f ucking pups were talking about,” Zane said. “We can’t just wait around to see if he comes

I held my hand up. “Fine, I’ll go and check myself, see if Mason’s scent is still traceable.”
I turned to go, but Lanie called out.
“Wait! Why were you coming back here?” she asked. is my sister okay?”
I nodded. “Orion is frustrated. He tried getting information from Selena, and she could honestly say she
had no idea where you were, so he had to let her go.”
“And what about the pack? The Council?” Xander asked.
“It’s only been a few days of lockdown, but every wolf in Constantine is growing restless,” I explained.
