“Okay, gress. But, okay. Why do you even care who I am to him?”

After a quick glance around, she turns back to me, her eyes bright with he before she tells me, I think I already know. That night he shot me, meets my eyes woefully. “He’s my mate,” she chokes out, one tear traili

The Pack: Rule Number 1 – No Mates

Chapter Two Hundred One

DELIKATI

“What do you mean they are going to kill him? Who is? Quin?”

Gayle growls in frustration, “Yes! Him! His pack! My brother! My pride They’re going to go after him!”

My heart aches. A sharp stabbing pain teating into it at her words. I shake my head. “No, Quinn won’t let them. He won’t! You’re wrong about that!

She rolls her eyes. “If you think so, that’s on you. But Domande is the Alpha, not Quinn and what Domonie says gres. Trust me.”

I take a deep breath, refusing to believe that Quinn would do that to me. Sure, I don’t know him that well, but… I believed him when he said he cared about me. I believed him when he said I was his mate. He judet huurt my brother… Right? But if any of what she’s saying true, I need to wam my brother. “If we do figure out where he is, how the we going to get there? Task. “I can’t shift and I’m no Mowgli, i WILL NOT ride on your back like in the Jungle Book.”

She grins, “Qur jeep is parked in Quinn’s driveway. We’ll take it.”

My eyes widened. “That’s yours?”

She shrugs. “For the most part. Quinn borrowed it to bring you here. The keys will still be inside of it because one of us was supposed to

me and pick it up. We just hadn’t gotten around to it yet. So don’t worry about that part. Let’s just get out of here before it’s too latest,

“Okay,” I say with a nod, racking my brain for what I need to do before we leave. “Do you have any money? I do but it’s locked in Quinn’s car. And my phone-” that’s when I cut off.

“What?” Gay

Gayle asks, noting the way I freeze mid–sentence, “What’s wrong?”

“M–my phone!” I confide softly. “I have to bring it and I don’t know where it is.” Where is my phone?

“Okay, well where did you have it last?” she asks, gazing past me into the house.

My eyes narrow as I recall the last time I had it. It was just before Quinn ambushed me out here on the patio. Did he take it from me? Did I drop it? My eyes go everywhere, scanning the patio for it, but finding nothing. I had dropped it, I would have heard it fall I’m sure of it. “1 had it out here right before… I trail off as my cheeks heat. “Maybe Quinn put it with my clothes.”

“Why would Quinn have it?” she asks, alarmed.

1 shake my head. “He didn’t, I had it. I had just hung up with Cane, and then Quinn and his friend were standing behind me. He introduced me to his friend Domonic and then walked him out. I still had my phone… but then…”
