My chest was heaving. Bartlett was bleeding. Yet still, he continues to lie to me.

Glaring at where he lay on the ground at my feet, Ilias, “This can stop, you know, You only have to tell me where they went.”

A crowd of onlooker had formed around us. Mostly pack members, but a few of them here shop owners who had stayed to work late and heard the commotion from inside their stores. They remained silently, watching. Uheless as I beat Bartlett into the ground. The presence of two of the city’s deputies didn’t seem to matter to amyrne, least of all me. No one was going to stop this, they knew it and I knew it. Su Bartlett got off one or two punches, but I let him have those. They served to push at my anger. Making me wilder, stronger, and taking the edge off the crushing abjus forming in my chest.

“You can kill me if you want Bartlett shouted from the ground, spitting blood out of the side of his mouth as he did. “Because I can’t tell you what I don’t know

I chuckle and kick him swiftly in the ribs. “As you wish

“Dom,” Koda lets out rooly. He meets my gaze, stepping forward with a hand raised. “He’s had enough. We should go to the main station and see what we can find

I nod, stepping back, and away from my one trusted friend on the ground. “We’ll talk about this later. Then I kneel, bringing my mouth as close as possible to him 10 that what I say is not overheard by the humans spectating. “You better stay home for a week. II have someone else take over the bar. There are too many witnesses tonight.” Then I growl, “And I swear to God, if something happens to her and I find out you’ve been lying to me…”

I let that hang as I followed Koda back into the bar to retrieve my shirt and wash my hand. “Let’s go,” I tell him as the pair of un ran back nutside and climb into his SUV Im assuming you’re off duty.”

Be nods, screeching out of the parking lot and leaving a cloud of dust and asphalt injur wake. “We need to find out what train they rode out on and then check every city they might have stopped in.”

I chuckle, studying him as his deftly maneuvers through the shadowed streets of Port Orchard. So devoted. Any particular reason why?”

He clenches his teeth, his jaw going tight. “No.”

“And now you’re lying.”

“I am,” he admits.

Then it occurs to me. He stood between Emily and me when I attacked her at the padhouse. When he did, he looked angry enough to kill me. He’s been more you lately. Koda has never been much of talker and until just recently, has been the very best at following unders. Accordingly to him, he met Emily long before the rest of us did. He even allowed her to take his room.

“Something tells me I’m not the only one with chest pains,” I mumble.
