other
things including poaching.” Ryker slowly scrolled his mouse down the page.
“Yuck, he’s a sicko. He’s a pedophile, and the animals he poached he tortured
before he killed. How on Earth did he get across the border into Canada?”
“Doesn’t matter. It just means when I kill him, no one will miss him,”
Seamus said through his clenched teeth. As soon as he said it, he immediately
worried he’d scared his beloved. No, I
can’t call her my beloved. I don’t know if she is. But when he looked at
her, she actually looked more relaxed or relieved.
“I’m totally right there with ya ,
Sea.” Kace said. He lifted his fist halfway into the
air.
“Me, too,” Nix added.
“As he’s planning her demise, little does he
know we are planning his . That’s karma
for ya .” Ryker snickered. “It always comes back
tenfold … or … uh, how many of us are there now?” Ryker looked around as if
counting.
“Don’t forget to count Stelios and Bogdan,” Kace added with a chuckle.
“I think we shouldn’t underestimate him, though,” Alphy said grimly . “Make
sure you are in groups of two until he can be found and eliminated.”
Tyler gently asked, “ Maysa ,
did you hear them talk about, or see any other kinds of paranormals? Do they
know about vampires or fairies?”
“Fairies? There’s fairies ?” Gale blurted. Tyler gave her a gentle, but
pointed look. “Oh! Right, sorry, I’ll shut up.”
“No, I didn’t see or hear anything to indicate they
knew anything beyond shifters,” Maysa answered with
confidence.
“That might be something at least,” Neto said. “It sounds like maybe the councilman is willing
to sell out his own kind, but knows if he went after anything else that it
would be a nasty battle.”
“Question.” Henry raised his hand slightly into the air. “Where does the S.I.S. come in to
this?”
“Matteo?” Alphy turned to him.
Matteo shook his head. “It’s tricky to investigate
without compromising paranormals. I’m still looking into it, but it’s slow. I
think I’m close to some answers though. I have friends in the CIA who are
helping. We are starting to believe the S.I.S. might not officially know about
us and that there is only one department that knows. But how far up the ladder
it goes, is still uncertain and how much they know, is uncertain.”
“Keep on it, Matteo. I want that to be your only
focus,” Alphy ordered.
Tyler leaned back into his chair. “I think I’m going
to head into the council today, instead of tomorrow, to see what I can come up
with. If I wait until tomorrow, I’ll be swamped with my day-to-day work. And
since I’ve been away for so long, I’m sure my assistant will be merciless.”
Alphy turned to Slate. “Slate, I want you and Ryker’s team to work with me on
devising a break-in and out. Sorry, Tyler, but there’s no way I’m going to sit
back and wait for all the bureaucratic tape to clear before getting those
shifters out of there.”
“Nor would I expect you to. I’m with you on that,”
Tyler answered assertively.
Alphy dismissed the men as the meeting came to an end. As the men started to head
out, Gale patted Maysa on the leg. “Don’t worry, Maysa . We’ll get your family and those others out of there.
And don’t feel guilty for leaving them. Everything worked itself out the way it
was meant to be. If you need anything, or even if you just want to talk, you
can come to me.”
Alphy stood up. “I’ll be back in a little bit with those maps.” After having had said
that, Gale stood and let her mate lead her out the door and down the stairs.
Soon, the apartment was silent.
Seamus felt his beloved start to shake. Damn it! I keep calling her that and I
shouldn’t . He berated himself for letting his thoughts slip, but on
impulse, he couldn’t stop leaning his head down to run the tip of his nose over
part of the shell of her ear. A shudder quaked through her body, and Seamus
smelt her desire. His dick
