He had a cut across his brow, one eye that was swollen shut, and dry blood covering his lower lip. She yelled, opened the window, and pushed it up.He climbed inside and yelled, “Took you long enough. He pulled the hood of his coat down after shaking off the snow from it.How did you know I was in this particular room? How did you escape from prison?“I awoke to find the door open. Walked straight away. She wrung her hands as her skin turned sweaty.It’s a setup, “T.”“Leave here with me. I’ll take you to a secure location. For her hair, he stretched out.She took a step back. “Get out of here before they get you.” “A gray cannot be mated with. Once Bruin is aware that you are here, he will send a delegation to represent you. You’ll have no chance. We can start our own pack and go across the country so he can’t find us.She wasn’t about to tell him she had mated Darien because she was afraid he would become furious. “I’m remaining here and investigating my sister’s murderer.”Look wha
Silva gave Lelandi a little smile as she sat on the edge of Darien’s bed. Don’t worry about the red they have in jail, sugar. Despite the fact that what he did was really foolish, they won’t murder him. After pumping you full of chemicals, how was he going to find you?He was never one to plan things out in advance. Lelandi lay out on the bed while once more wearing her sweater and jeans. “I won’t be staying if Darien or any of his men kill him.”Silva widened his eyes. Oh, honey, that’s not what you meant. Darien and you have been mated. You cannot abandon him.She then squinted her eyes. Is the red person linked to you in any way?What happened to Chester McKinley when Darien forced him to leave?Silva cocked her head in one direction. “Why?”“I believed he could aid us in discovering who killed Larissa.” Darien fired him following the events at the tavern.Stupid Darien. Fine. Then, she would decide to handle things on her own.“Are you going to be okay? After we close the tavern t
While Tom and Jake sat in the living room, Darien shook his head at Uncle Sheridan. “Ural is not being made an example of. If he has accomplices who intend to pursue Lelandi, they will do so. Then, we’ll take care of them. He’s okay where he is right now. I want to talk about who was extorting Larissa, how she passed away, and who paid the shooter to assassinate Lelandi. But first, Tom, any news on Ural?“I’m still frozen. We had to move him to the hospital, per Nurse Grey. The guard responsibility falls to Trevor while he is imprisoned. He promised to let us know when he arrived, according to Charlotte.Uncle Sheridan placed his writing pad on the coffee table while maintaining his composure. “This is what I’ve discovered thus far. On the day the shooter killed the gunman, all of the guns that were allegedly taken out into the woods were subjected to ballistics tests. Not a match. This indicates that either the test rules out one of our men, one of them had a second gun and handed us
Darien gladly pushed through another snowdrift.Even though Tom’s four-wheel drive monster truck could handle almost any road condition, he still wouldn’t let either of his brothers operate it. He reasoned that if he had an accident, it would be his fault and no one else would be held responsible.Jake said, “We’ve been driving in this mess for an hour and have hardly moved forward. How was Lelandi acting when you first arrived to speak with us?“Angry over the Ural. To ensure that we didn’t kill him, she likely made her way to the jail. He could hardly tell if they were on the road, the shoulder, or the ditch because of his limited field of vision. The trees on each side of the road were the only thing he could make out. Darien tried to squint, but it didn’t work.“Darien, hold on! Tom yelled from the backseat, “I think I saw something.“Where?”“Looks like the back of a green pickup,” the speaker said.They exited the truck after Darien halted it. The truck belongs to the Woodcroft
Willy Wilkerson alone. He makes the sound of having fluid filling his lungs. It could be pneumonia. Ural also appears to be becoming conscious again.Was Ural present? Unconscious! Lelandi grunted as she spoke. Deputy Trevor came here for that reason. Darien and his troops, be damned.Lelandi didn’t move when the doctor and Ritka passed the office.When they arrived in the examination room, Dr Oliver addressed Mrs. Wilkerson. Willy will soon be on medication and feeling better.Refiling her sister’s medical paperwork, Lelandi left the room. She was going to visit her cousin and learn what they had done to him, whether or not Trevor liked it.As the door slowly opened, Lelandi’s heart almost stopped.But Doc wasn’t there.Joe Kelly quickly in and closed the door. His coat, whiskers, and hair were all covered in snow, and his eyes had a crazy appearance. Trying to locate Larissa’s file? Lelandi was told to lean against the wall while he drew a revolver from his waist.She experienced an
On the opposite side of the mountain, Joe hauled her up. He called out to her, “Climb.”She objected.Her temple was the target of his gunshot. You can’t be saved by Darien in this situation. They wouldn’t get there in time to remove a bullet if I shot it in your gorgeous head. So go up. It is your only chance.She fought to ascend, clenching her teeth, her wet garments sticking to her like ice Saran Wrap, her hands numb from the chilly water.He said, “Go up straight.”She looked up but was unable to see the direction he was planning to lead her. They were not able to climb mountains all day. Unless… She gave him another look. He was dozing off to her right while she was doing so.“Go!”Unless a cave was located above. She resumed her ascent. Maybe the place he had taken Larissa in secret? For shooting Doc and Ritka, Lelandi planned to kill the cretin and eat her meal.Men shouted on the ridge coming from the town’s direction. She was under attack by Darien and his troops. Joe’s expr
From his brothers and thirty of his men blocked. After the initial explosion that shook the mountain, Additional stones started to fall. Darien massaged his eyes so he could see the mess he was in and choked on the dust. He was the only person to enter the tunnel because it was blocked by rocks.He yelled, hoping to hell no one had been trapped in the slide, “Everyone all right out there?”“We’re alright,” yelled Jake. You?”Fiercely irate. “Good here,”In an effort to learn where Joe Kelly and Lelandi were, he listened for any sounds. Nothing. Darien could at least still pursue them.We could move the rocks, but it will take hours, boss, Sam said from the other side of the obstruction. We used to enter in a different method, Mason and I. more easier on the knees.Show the men, Darien demanded angrily. As soon as he got his hands on that son of a bitch, he would kill him. If he had hurt Lelandi in any way…We’ll see you on the other side, but for the love of God, Darien, don’t get yo
I was so worried that the rockslide might kill you, your brothers, or some of the rest of your people.Darien pinned her against him while warming her body, stroking her arms, and kissing her on the lips and cheeks. “Everyone is OK. Everything is fine. A gash that had gone through to her eyebrow on the left side of her temple was swelled, crimson, and the blood was already drying along its seam. Darien remarked, wiping away her damaged hair, “That son of a bitch.”She remained silent, perhaps in astonishment. Despite the fact that the chilly cave was starting to wear on him, he tried to warm her by holding her close to his body. And that’s when he saw the glass in her hair. Lelandi, did Joe throw a glass at you?She appeared as though she may become ill. He uses his pistol. She stopped and fixed her gaze below. Before that, I was in an accident, I said.You damaged the SUV, right?Her eyes were blurry from recent crying as she nodded. He exhaled and gave her another strong embrace. “W
