(An hour later)
“What the f&&k do you mean that you do not know where Lily is?” I scream as I press Brady aggressively
against the wall in his office.
“Get off me, James.”
“F&&k you, Brady. TELL ME WHERE MY MATE IS!”
“I already told you! I do not know.”
“How long has she been gone, Brady?” Dr. Hyder asks, in a voice even more angry than my own.
“Since the day we got back from Hawaii.”
“What?!?!?!?!?!?!?” I punch Brady hard, breaking his nose. I then step away.
“How could you not tell us?” Dr. Hyder demands.
“I did not know for two weeks that she was gone. Once I found out, I immediately sent trackers out there
looking for her. That a&&hole over there was not even supposed to know where she was,” Brady explains, pointing at me, “and I did not want you to come here screaming your head off at me and tipping off the
enemies that she was out there in the world defenseless.”
“Two. Weeks. You did not know that Lily was missing for TWO. WEEKS?!?!? I gave you one assignment, Son. ONE! Protect that girl. And you did not know she was gone for two weeks? You do not deserve to call yourself an alpha! What the f&&k is wrong with you?!?!”
Brady runs his hands through his hair, obviously feeling frustrated and ashamed. Too bad I do not feel sorry for him. I want him to feel that way and more.
“Look, she left here voluntarily, okay? You know Rose is special. I think Rose helped her get out of here,” Brady says quietly, still trying to defend himself. He was doing a horrible job.
He reaches into a locked drawer and pulls out a letter. “Here, look. She left this note.”
Dr. Hyder reads the letter and then gives it to me. I read it a few times, not really sure what to make of it.
“Has she given you any clues about where she might be, James?” Dr. Hyder asks.
“Why would he know?” Brady responds, suspicion obvious in his tone.
“Because she has been communicating with him by phone.”
“WHAT? Are you even sure that it is her?”
“Yes, A&&hole. She is my mate. We have talked by text and by phone.”
“And you know it is her? Not some scammer? Not someone pretending to be her?”
“I would know my own mate, Brady. It is her.”
“Really? Because I remember not too long ago in the past you thought your mate was Stephanie.”
I get up to punch Brady again. This time I am ready to kill him. I only get one punch in-surprisingly, Dr.
Hyder does not even try to stop me- when my phone rings.
Everyone in the room freezes.
I pull the phone out of my pocket. It is Lily. Oh, thank Goddess.
“Lily?”
“James? Are you okay? You called me 55 times and sent me 34 text messages.”
“Why didn’t you answer?”
“I was working. I had a double shift at the girls’ home and I do not have my phone on when I am there.
Are you okay?”
“Yes… but where are you?”
“James, I-”
“Please, Lily. Tell me where you are. Black Moon was attacked today. They are still trying to piece. together who did it, but everything so far is pointing to them trying to come for you. Please. Tell me
where you are. I will come to you.”
Silence.
“Is everyone at Black Moon okay?” she asks.
“Yes. There are some injuries, but no casualties.”
More silence.
“Lily?”
“I am here.”
“Please, Lily. I need to see you. I need to know that you are safe. I am here with Brady and Dr. Hyder. They are just as worried as I am. Please. Just tell me where you are.”
Silence.
Finally, after what seems like forever, Lily responds. “Ravenswood.”
“Ravenswood?” I repeat, letting out a small smile. “Home of the Wolf Packers?”
“Yes.”
“I will be on the next flight out. Please. Stay right where you are, okay? Please. Do not go to work. Do not go anywhere. Just wait for me. I will be there as soon as I can.”
“Okay.”
I hang up and start to leave Brady’s office. Before I can, Dr. Hyder stops me.
“Take our plane.”
I glance at Brady, who is giving his father a dirty look.
“It will be faster. Take the plane.”
I nod. Off to Ravenswood I go
