“You guys made a mess in Redwood, Rick sighs and sits down across from me. “Did you find what you needed?”

“I’ll pay for reconstruction. We weren’t looking for anything. Just cleaning up a mess,”

“Thanks,” he clears his throat. “Am I allowed to ask?”

“No, and even if you were: I’m not the person who has any of the answers. I was just back up.”

“Is she okay?”

“I don’t know, but she’s not the one I’m worried about. We found a kid. Mackenzie Phurry’s son. That girl hasn’t been well since returning. She’s my cousin’s mate and I don’t think it’s a good match,”

“Because she’s a wolf?” he sneers making me laugh.

“Because she’s- I don’t know if she’s feral or if she’s getting there but there’s something wrong with her. Ferry plans on giving the kids to her and I think it’s a bad idea. She’s still a kid and I think we might have to put her in the- my phone interrupts

Us.

“Get that. Maybe I can get Luna Miller on the phone,” he says and goes over to his desk. I look down to see it’s Jordan.

Hey, I answer.

“Sir, we have a really big problem,”

“Is Perry okay?”

“For now, James and Perry are in her study with Mackenzie Jonas, I think she’s feral. She talking about killing the kids,” Tm on my way,” I hang up and go for the door.

Rick follows behind me as 1 get to my car. He lets himself in. The main house is surrounded when we arrive and if I know Perry she’s got Mackenzie locked somewhere the wolf can’t get out. I run inside to find Jordan and the rest of her team outside of Perry’s study.

“You’re not making it out of here, I hear Perry say,

“You already know what I want,” Mackenzie growls,

“Stay back,” she holds her hand out.

James is in the doorway and she’s in front of him. Her eyes on fixed on the girl in front of her. I’ve been–around Mackenzie for a bit now and I know that the way she’s smiling at my mate isn’t in character with the way Mackenzie tries to make herself smaller.

There’s a confidence that Mackenzie probably has never had in her demeanor. A malice a sweet girl that has seen too much never displayed. There’s no scent other than my brother’s and my mate’s. The only presence domineering the room is James’s. How the fuck did she go feral without shifting into the wolf?

“Please, Perry, Mackenzie spiles. “We don’t have to do this. I don’t want to hurt you or anyone else,”

“If that were true you would have killed them before coming to see me,” Perry lowers her arm and takes a step toward her. I reach out but she moves away anticipating my move. “Jen, I can’t let you leave. I owe it to you and Mack to put the both of
