An hour has passed, and I have kept far back but within linking range when Azura sends another message.
He wants me to meet him at a motel on the outskirts of the city, Motel Slumber. It’s off Silver Crescent Lane, down by the fuel station. He said to travel on foot.
Okay, just head there. I’m not that far behind, and neither are my men.
Got it. Thanks.
Stop thanking me.
Hmm, well, I’m such a sweet, good girl with manners, I can’t help but thank you.Her voice is mocking, and I smirk slightly, pulling my hood up as I drive slower. I’ll get out soon, too.
You? A good girl? From what angle?
You haven’t seen The Face.
The Face?
My innocent puppy dog look.
I don’t think, with a face like that, you can ever look innocent…It is far too fucking sexy.Especially since all I can think of are your lips around my cock as you look up at me with eyes full of lust…
I’ll show it to you later.Later… I can’t help but smirk. She is confident we’ll deal with this shit, and we definitely will.
Looking forward to it,I reply. That same silence falls between us. We both want to say something, but just like me, I don’t think she knows where to start.
I give a few orders to the others, thinking a motel is a pretty ideal place for the plan that I have in mind. My phone flashes on, and I click on it to see that it is Dan.
“Hey, Alpha. Was rechecking and comparing the data a little deeper, but I can’t make sense of it or what exactly you want meto look for. I think there is a connection between what you sent me earlier. It’s fucking weird, but there’s something.” I frown.
“Send me the file over, I’ll take a look.”
“Got it.”
I hang up, frowning deeply. I know whatever had been used killed him pretty much instantly, and what irks me is that I have created something pretty much similar, but that is not something I have released into the world, and the plan is to keep them for emergencies within the pack, only to be used as a final solution. I don’t know why, but I feel fucking uneasy.
Seeing the incoming email, I glance at the road for a second before picking up my phone and opening the email. My eyes scan the report. My heart thunders as traces of three substances stand out, their names glaring at me, making me simply stare at the email. This…
I put the phone down, running my fingers through my hair before I pull my gun out of my jacket pocket. Is it a coincidence that it is the exact fucking same as I use in the poisoned bullets I have been working on? And, if so, how is it fucking possible?
I scan the sheet carefully; it is almost the exact same build-up that I had put together, but I hadn’t tol- wait…
I suddenly feel cold, my gut twisting as I realise when I first began working on these bullets, I had mentioned the concept to one other person. A person who is pretty smart, too. Someone I had trusted enough… but someone I didn’t really know as well as I thought I did.Fuck.
My hands tighten on the steering wheel, my eyes blazing as one name screams alarm bells in my head.Emmet.
He’s here,Azura’s strained voice comes.
Stay calm, I’m right there with you,I reply, pushing the thoughts away. I’ll deal with that shit later, but for now, my girl needs me. I park up and get out of the car, breaking into a jog.
There must have been a reason he has chosen this place… butwhatever the reason, I won’t let him get away… not this time.
Is everything in place?I ask my men through the link.
Oh yeah,Jax’s growl answers. I smirk slightly.
Perfect.
A Showdown
