It’s late in the afternoon when we finally catch up to the rogues. Donovan and I are ready to go for the kill, needing something to burn off our anger. The battle doesn’t take longer than an hour. Unfortunately, we have some injured and most everyone is exhausted after running all day before the fight, so they decide to pitch their tents and sleep in the forest again.

As soon as possible, I check my phone. I have one text from Lily, sent hours ago.

Mate: Hey Clint. Just checking in.

Me: Hey Lily bud. How are things? What are you doing while your father completes his business with Alpha Mahli?
