ZADE.
I leave the house once I’ve showered, trying to get in contact with Damien again. I get on my bike,
wondering if something has happened to him when he calls back. I pick up not answering just in case
it’s not him and wait for him to speak first.
“Boss.” He’s fine and alone.
“Where have you been?”
“I got attacked… I’m ok, but I’ve lost a lot of blood. I managed to escape and home, but… I’m not sure
what it is but I ain’t healing.”
“We’ll figure that out. I’m heading to twelve and seven. Meet me there. It’s urgent. Bring Anthony.”
He grunts his response, and I frown as I hang up.
These attacks have been carefully thought out. I stop at the garage, ignoring the pile of letters that
were pushed through the letterbox, before I park the truck
inside and walk through the garage to the other side, where I have a ck SUV, one with bulletproof
windows hidden in the back. One of my five rides.
This is the car we’ll travel in and I can trust Damien and Anthony to keep an eye on things here. I don’t
trust fast, but both Damien and Anthony have helped keep an eye on Valerie for me, as well as being
there since I’ve been out of prison. They’re trustworthy enough.
I run my hand over my bike before looking around my garage. I had made something here… but guess
it just wasn’t meant to fucking be. I look down at my bike and sigh.
“I’lle back for you,” I murmur, brushing my hand along the paint of my bike.
Fuck this.
I take the SUV out and lock it up before I get back into the SUV and drive close to the spot that I asked
Damien and Anthony to meet me at, parking a few roads away. I walk the remaining distance to meet
them, you can never be too careful.
I scroll through my phone. The media has already reported on the housefire… I still feel uneasy about
how that one was handled, but it’s toote to do anything
now.

I stay in the shadows, my hood up as I take out a cigarette and light it. It’s been a long day…
I spot them sitting in the car a few metres away, on alert, but they’ve not noticed me… I tilt my head,
the urge to scare them entices me, but now’s not the time.
It’s intriguing how so many of them just don’t notice my presence, even those who are skilled like these
two… I’ve mastered the art of stealth far better than anyone I fucking know…
Taking out my phone, I ring Damien, watching as he answers it.
“Yes, Boss, we’re here.”
“Yeah, I know. I’ve watched you two sit out here for thest few minutes, and neither of you managed
to see me. Get out, seven o’clock to you.” I hang up as both turn towards me, before they get out and
make their way over.
Damien’s hurt, I can see that from the way he’s dragging his leg.
“Boss,” Anthony says.
Not replying, I turn, leading the way down the alleyway until I reach the end and lean against the wall.
“I’m leaving town for a bit, keep an eye on one another, and stay safe. Times are a little dangerous out
here,” I say, ncing around the alleyway, my ears honed in on any small sound from around us.
“Where are you going?” Anthony asks.
“To find a solution to this entire fucking mess. Those chips will be abolished one fucking way or
another… and so will the Arkan,” I say, my eyes shing.
“Your aura… it’s changed.” Anthony adds, seeming distracted by it.
“Did you hear what I said?” It’s because Valerie and I marked one another.
“Yeah, but your aura…”
“You found our Luna?” Damien asks sharply.
I look at the two of them./
“I have.”
“Then, let’s be a pack!” Anthony says, his eyes zing. “You will only get stronger.”
“I’m already strong,” I remark.

“But he’s right. You need to hold an official title of Alpha, even if it’s just the four of us,” Damien says
from where he’s leaning against the wall opposite.
Six of us… If Ada makes it.
I’m silent.
This is something… Inevitably as an Alpha… I’ll hold more power in that council… it would give me
more of a voice…
“Very well, let’s do it,” I say quietly, pushing away from the wall as both Anthony and Damien lower their
heads, their auras surging around them; their wolves stepping forward.
