Page 70 of Pack Kasen: Part 2

“Male.”

Aren thumps his feet to the floor.

Suddenly, everyone turns to look at me.

“What? What is it?” I ask.

Aren grins, delighted as he surges to his feet. “The campus killer wants you. You are here with me. And maybe they even saw me leave your apartment that night. Finan, have him wait for me near the bunkhouse.”

Finan walks out.

“What was with all the questions?” I ask.

“We sometimes have new shifter arrivals,” Joy explains. “Shifters looking for a new pack to call home. Usually, we get a heads up from another Alpha if someone wants to leave, but sometimes a new arrival will turn up out of the blue. Aren and Finan will meet them, talk to them, and decide if they’re a good fit for the pack.”

Aren is grinning, and I can’t understand why he’s so happy until it hits me.

“You think that’s him? That the campus killer tracked me here.”

“He’s going to try to kill me,” Aren says happily.

And he walks out.

“Why does he sound so happy about someone trying to kill him?” I ask.

“Aren is a hunter,” Emilio says. “He’s never happier than when he’s hunting something.”

I recall the glee in his voice when he told me how he’d found my apartment and broken into it.

Of all the people on the planet, the Wolf King had to be my mate.

Great.

“So?” I look around the room.

“And this time, it looks like his prey just invited himself to be dinner,” Joy adds. “Hence the big smiles.”

I still don’t believe it could be the campus killer.

No one knows where I am. Sure they could have pinged my cell phone like in some spy movie, but that’s impossible.

Then I remember the instructions Finan gave me to find this place when he ambushed me in my dorm parking lot.

I shoved that piece of paper in my pocket and never saw it again. The only reason I remember the directions is because I took a good look at them before I scrunched up the paper.

What if it fell out?

What if the Wolf King wasn’t the first one who broke into my apartment?

I scramble to my feet.

“Aren likes to hunt alone,” Troy calls after me as I sprint out of the room.

“This was my hunt first.Mykill.”
