“Bee, clothes.” She shook them beside my mate’s head. “The sooner you dress, the sooner Bas gets answers, and the two of you can disappear to your room.”
Belinda licked the wound she’d left on me then hopped off my lap, grabbing the clothes from Raina and jerking them on. Then she marched up to her brother and shoved her hands against his chest. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t move.
“You honestly thought it was okay to keep us separated?” Her furious tone made me grin.
“I wouldn’t keep you from him indefinitely, Belinda. But I need answers. I need to know why he was there with Benji and his buddies, why they took you, and what the end game was.”
“Then ask me,” she demanded. “I was there, and Hannibal wasn’t with them when they took me. Cammy was.”
“I checked with the clinic on Cammy while I was dressing and grabbing clothes for Bee. Cammy was hurt pretty badly,” Raina told us. I’d known that when I’d glanced at her on my way to Belinda. “We’re not sure her wolf will be able to heal her.”
“She knew one of Benji’s friends. She called him Hutch.”
“I know his buddies,” Raina interjected. “Hutch, Mullins, and Jacob. Jacob’s last name is Mullins too, which is why they called him by his first name, I guess. All assholes. They made Rebbie’s life hell when my brother wasn’t around. When he died, I’m sure they continued.”
The biggest of them, Taylor, I think she called him, growled at the mention of Rebbie. I guessed she was his mate, and Makers had harassed her.
“I should have killed the son-of-a-bitch when I had the chance,” Taylor snapped.
“You should have,” I agreed.
“Why do you say that?” James demanded.
“You obviously had him in your hands and banged him up pretty good. I’m guessing his buddies got him out. Then they found a place for him to stay while he healed. With an elder female shifter from a different pack. I don’t know what story they fed her, but she took care of him. Once he was healed, they returned her kindness by slitting her throat and raping her granddaughter when she came to check on her.” The thought of what they’d done to those women still made me sick to my stomach.
“Jesus fuck,” Taylor growled.
“Your family?” the one Raina had identified as Cyan asked.
“No.” But the question reminded me of my family. “Have you heard from your man who took my sister to the hospital?”
“Simon,” Raina offered. “He’s staying with her. He’ll bring her back here as soon as it’s safe. I’m a nurse. I can keep an eye on her, if needed. How is it that you have a human sister?”
I grinned. “My mom mated with Cici’s dad. He’s also human.”
“Then she’s not really your sister,” James stated.
“My mom, her dad. Hello, sibling.” I repeated Cici’s logic as to how she was my sister. The only thing keeping me from finding her right now was the fact Belinda was here and I’d yet to fully bond her. It relieved me to know Cici had one of Bastion’s top wolves with her, keeping an eye on her. Simon would have his hands full with my sister.
“Why was she there?” Raina asked.
“Why were either of you there?” James questioned.
“The granddaughter came to me. She wanted me to hunt down Makers and bring him back for her pack to deal with.”
“That’s not happening,” Taylor growled. “He’ll die here.”
“He will,” I agreed. “But not by your hand. By mine.”
“No,” Belinda disagreed. “He goes back to her pack.” Her gaze moved between her brother, me, and Taylor. “She deserves to spill his blood more than any of us. We won’t take that justice from her.”
Raina nodded. “She’s right. We have to take him to her.”
“That’s what he’s here for.” James tipped his chin toward me then turned back to his sister. “Now, I know why he was there. How’d they get you?”
“Cammy wanted to go out to a bar where the James Pack doesn’t hang out. I agreed.” She shrugged.
“Why would you do that? Why would you put yourself at risk? You’re my sister!” James roared, and I came to my feet, splintering the chair around me as I moved to stand protectively at my mate’s back.
