Chapter Five

Kayos

Soaring above theestate, Kyllian caught sight of the bikes and followed as they drove past the gate and down the road to where a car was parked.He assumed it was Mercy’s car.Three males parked their bikes, and one of them strode over to the car, peering inside when he found the door locked.He then lifted his face and sniffed the air.

“It’s a rental, but I can smell the wolf,” he told the other two.“She has to be around here somewhere.”

“We need to hide the bikes and search for her on foot,” one of the others stated.

Shit.Mercy had been followed.Kyllian scanned the area for other vehicles traveling down the road.When he didn’t see anyone, he dropped down in front of the males, shifting as he landed.

“Who are you and what are you doing here?”he demanded, using his Gryphon voice.

The one who was searching the car answered, “River Canyon Wolves, and we’re looking for a rogue wolf.Dude, what the fuck are you?”

Kyllian ignored the question and asked one of his own, “Why are you searching for the wolf?”

“Our Alpha wants his granddaughter back,” the third male answered.

“How do you know where she is?”

“We were told to follow the wolf named Mercy.They said she knew where Quinn was.”

“Who is they?”

Male number one clenched his fists, probably trying to fight the compulsion, but he couldn’t.“Alpha didn’t say.Just gave us our orders.”

“Tell your Alpha she isn’t here.The female you’re looking for is in Oregon.Are there more than three of you?”

“Yes.Seven more and Sting’s mate.”

“You’re going to go get your pack mates and tell them you need to head west.Tell them you found Mercy and forced her to give up Quinn’s location, then all of you will get on the road and head that direction.”

Male number one returned to his bike, and the three wolves took off without speaking.Kyllian shifted into his Eagle and followed them until they arrived at the campsite.He didn’t wait to make sure they left town.He needed to get back to Quinn and get her the hell out of New York.He hoped Ace and Ripper got there quickly to watch over Trenton.

After landing and getting dressed, Kyllian ran to the house.Trenton and Mercy were in a stare-off in the living room, but Quinn was nowhere to be seen.Reaching out with this shifter senses, he found her upstairs, and something was wrong.Kyllian rushed up the stairs, following his nose to the door at the end of the hallway.Quinn was sitting on the bed with her head between her knees.

Dropping down in front of her, Kyllian gripped her hands.“Breathe, Quinn.Come on, Pretty Lady.Take a deep breath in.”Quinn raised her head, wide-eyed, but did as instructed.“Good.Hold it, now let it out.”Kyllian dealt with Brandon’s panic attacks and had learned how to handle them.After a couple minutes, Quinn was breathing normally.

“Goddess, what is wrong with me?”she asked, searching his face.

“You haven’t left your home in quite a while.You’re not only stepping foot off the property for the first time in forever, but you’re getting on a plane, headed to the one place you shouldn’t be going.”Kyllian squeezed her hands.“If you need to stay here, I’ll go with Mercy and find Nikita.If you decide to go, I vow to you on Zeus that I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Quinn shocked the shit out of Kyllian when she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.When she started to retreat, he wrapped her ponytail in his fist and kept her mouth on his, licking at her lips until she opened for him.That was a mistake because his Quinn tasted like everything right in the world.Using her shifter strength, Quinn pushed Kyllian’s shoulder, knocking him on his ass.He waited for a fist to the jaw, but instead, he got a lap full of his female.Straddling his legs, Quinn grabbed Kyllian’s hair and surged back in for another earth-shattering melding of their mouths and tongues.His dick hardened behind his jeans, pressing painfully against the zipper.Quinn rubbed against his erection, moaning sinfully into his mouth.

“Quinn, are you— Oh, uh.Never mind,” Trenton huffed, retreating from the door.

Quinn broke the kiss and pressed her fingers to her lips.“Sorry.I don’t know what came over me,” she muttered as she scrambled off his lap.

Pulling one knee to his chest, Kyllian remained on the floor, trying to get his beast under control.They had more pressing matters than dealing with what just happened.“Don’t apologize.We have bigger problems at the moment.”

Quinn fisted her hands on her hips, scowling.“You think kissing me is a problem?”

Kyllian popped to his feet and gestured toward his still hard dick.“When we’re not where we have privacy to take things further?Yes.”He grabbed her around the waist, pulling her flush to his chest.Pressing his mouth to her ear, he whispered, “Let’s get one thing straight.I want you.My beast wants you.It’s demanding I claim you here and now.I don’t think that’s what you want, but if it is?We’ll have to wait until we find Nikita until we do something about it, because Quinn?If you say the word, if you tell me you want me?It’s game on.”Kyllian nuzzled her neck before releasing her.Kyllian pushed his erection to the side of his jeans trying to relieve the pressure from the zipper.

“I’m sorry,” Quinn said again.

“Unless you’re apologizing for giving me blue balls, there’s nothing to be sorry about.We need to talk to Mercy.She was followed.”
