We’re Coming For Him
Thane
I am pacing the war room trying to keep together in front of my men. They
hey set silently, just as pissed as I am that this happened.
“We had no way of knowing Alpha Stevens was connected to the ring. It wasn’t in any of the intel we dug up. Tyler says as he runs his fingers through her thick brown hair.
“I mean, he may not be connected but new of a connection.” Damon suggests, staring at the photos and maps on the wall.
“Maybe someone offered him a way out. Why
hy get rid of h
f her? He rejected her, they move on. Getting rid of her seems extreme.” Tyler questions.
“She is a female alpha. Unheard of in how long? That’s reason enough. Cyrus growls, rubbing his temples, staring at the floor.
“How do we know Raven is telling the truth? Tyler asks and within seconds Cyrus has lunged for him from the couch. Damon attempts to pull Cyrus off of Tyler.
“ENOUGH!” I yelled, pressing my aura into the room. They become quiet and Cyrus backs off of Tyler.
Tyler, please be careful when addressing a shifters mate or insinuating anything about said mate. It won’t end well.” I educate him and he nods in agreement..
Cyrus walks back to the couch and takes a seat. “She isn’t lying. My mate may be a lot of things, but she isn’t a liar. At least when it doesn’t Involve her feelings. She will lie to cover those all day long.”
“Sorry. So, Stevens knows that Thane is mated, he doesn’t know who she is. Tyler restarts the conversation again.
“He doesn’t but I gave him specifics of my mates rescue. She was the only shifter in a cage to my knowledge, and I told him how long she wa captive. He may not know who she is, but he will tell Mikhail that I was responsible for that raid and who my mate turned out to be.” I turn toward them and sit down on the desk.
“Maybe Stevens didn’t tell Mikhail. Maybe he wants to work with us to
map area.
k with us to cut Mikhail out of the business, take his
place.” Damon suggests from the
“We have no way of knowing that. It isn’t safe to assume. Not with mates on the line. They lost these two she–wolves. He will want them back.” I close my eyes and try to drown out the snarling in my head from Ronan,
“We need someone on the inside ASAP. If Stevens calls someone, I want to hear it. If he makes a move, I want it documented. I want eyes wherever he goes. Do we have someone on the inside there?” I ask, looking at my men again.
“If not, I can find us one. Give me a few days.” Tyler pulls out his phone and starts planning.
“I want b
border patrols doubled up. Call in the reserves. Leave informing the pack to me.” I order Damon and he nods in agreement with me
“What are you going to tell the pack?” Cyrus asks.
“Im going to tell them the truth.” There is no other choice. I refuse to lead a pack dishonestly. If their way of life is in jeopardy, they should know about it.
“We risk tipping off Mikhail that we are on to him if we make a pack announcement. Damon turns away from the map, arms crossed over his chest as well.
“Mikhail may know that we are on to him, but Stevens wouldn’t. We need to decide if we informer the other alliance members.” I counter.
“We don’t even know if we can trust others now.” Tyler interjects and he does have a point. We don’t know how deep the ring reaches.”
“They can’t all be dirty. Not all of them border Stevens either.” I state, growing increasingly frustrated with this circling conversation.
*So, we need intel on all of them. Eyes watching their movements. Damon suggests.
“That will spread to us too thin. Start with Stevens. Call logs will tell us a lot. Tyler suggests.

Wirie Coming For Him
“He’s right. Start with Stevens.” I started before walking to the aerial photos. “Ayla thought this tree looked familiar. She couldn’t remember if it was this scene or this type of tree. Make a mental note of that.” I point and Tyler nods to me in agreement.
“I don’t like this turn of events, but it doesn’t change the end goal. Taking it all down. I would rather take down every part of the ring now than battle its members for the rest of my life. Identify them now and we take them out, one at a time.” I explain, turning toward them.
I think
you are
re suggesting?” Cyrus asks, excitement in his tone.
“Are you suggesting what I
“We take them down one by one and let Mikhail know we are coming. Cyrus and Raven get Stevens.” I inform them.
“I want his son too. He rejected Raven.” Cyrus informs me.
“Does rejection equal murder?” I ask him, trying to keep my own feelings out of it.
“Does rejection equal murder if it was your little woll?” Cyrus asks, bring my feelings into it.
“Yes.” I reply simply. I am not a liar, and he would know if I was anyway. Cyrus has a gift when it comes to reading shifters.
Alright then. Save Stevens and his son for me and my girl. You and Ayla can have Mikhail. Damon and Tyler can have each other.” Cyrus suggests earning him scowls.
“Kiss my ass, Cyrus.” “Damon states.
“I’m surprised you are suggesting it. Aren’t you a neat freak? Do you even shake hands?” Cyrus asks him and I shake my head.
“Just because I like a clean environment doesn’t mean I am a neat freak‘ as you suggest. You are a total slob, that’s your problem.” Damon picks up a stapler and chucks it at Cyrus. Cyrus laughs, contented with the rise he got out of him.
“Have you seen my place. It is clean as a whistle. Plus, my baby lives with me now. I can’t get dirty. Well, I’m going to be dirty, but not that dirty. I’m going to be the “hey baby girl let’s try putting that up…….”
“Shut up Cyrus.” I interrupted him just in time to save us from the details. Tyler chokes on a doughnut he was attempting to eat, and Damon just shakes his head. It is better not to go rounds with Cyrus. He is too witty. Cyrus will always win. Fates help Raven.
“How is Raven handling letting all of this out? Her history I mean. I ask, concerned. Cyrus is like my brother; I plan on being close with her.
“According to our beautiful Luna Ayla Knight, she is day drinking….a lot. Ayla said she told her about her giftings and all the gritty stuff she didn’t tell her originally. Then she drank some more. She hasn’t killed me.. I’m making progress.” Cyrus admits and I can see him struggling with his emotions. Cyrus wants his mate, fearing rejection but also wanting to throw her over his shoulder and keep her locked up forever.
