#Chapter 147 – Aiden and Donovan Catch a Prize

 

“Odile was spotted again.” Donavon informs me urgently. “In Newtown.”

“When?” I reply, alight with excitement.

“Just now.” He shoots me a predatory grin, and I know we’re already on the same page.

“We need to move now, before it’s too late.” I announce.

“I’m already on it.” He assures me. “Every enforcer we have is currently deploying, we’ll have the entire neighborhood on lockdown within half an hour.”

Donavon is as good as his word. In no time at all, Newtown is crawling with enforcers and sentries, all concentrating around a single focal point: Paws and Claws, Elysium’s most exclusive nail salon. As betas, we stand at the center of the law enforcement melee, frantically going over every last detail of the raid.

Weve yet to notify anyone but Drake, defaulting to the strongest wolf in the area amidst this unusual power vacuum. Though we won’t admit it to Selene, it worries us to no end that Bastien hasn’t been in touch. It’s less about his own wellbeing, than it is Selene and Lila’s. If he were on his own, he might stay out of contact for an extended period of time, but he would never go this long without checking in on his mate and pup.

“What kind of she-wolf turns up in a city where she’s exiled, and goes to a nail salon?” I question.

“The kind who believes she holds the world on a string.” Donavon answers.

We‘ve confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that she’s still inside the salon, and we have every entrance and exit thoroughly blocked, *1 want her brought in alive.” Donovan growls.

“Everyone just keep your head down until we give the mark.” I advise, “As long as everyone plays their part, this should be an easy catch.”

As we watch, three female enforcers enter the salon arm in arm, pretending to be friends on a girl’s day out. Target is in sight. One of the women reports, we got here just in time, it looks like she’s checking out.
