ACR - What's this story I'm hearing Cassidy?

I walk outside. With a trembling lower lip, I snap a picture of the house's front and send it to him.

ACR - Go inside and stay there. Stop crying.

Gasping, my head jerks up. I spin around frantically, but there's no Carmichael, no Rique, no Alpha-holes anywhere. Does he have spies or cameras? Oh, my goodness.

I run back inside and slam the door behind me.

"They're coming across our land again? Details," I bark out.

"Trail's cold, but two days, approximate. Two groups. Three and four humans each. Same as before, Alphason."

"Mi papá?"

There's an uncomfortable silence. "En su casa, Alphason."

My wolf snarls. I hate leaving campus to deal with this shit, but I can't leave it all up toPapáand Nico.Papáhas gone hermit again, and Nico...

"Capture this time,sí?" I tell José. "Rique tells me that they have more than drugs, ey?"

There's a pause on the other line. "Capture?" comes the astonished response.

"Sí, at least one." I want to interrogate one of these humans.

"We'll have to go on feet, Alphason."

I pinch the bridge of my nose, feeling the headache coming on. On feet is more dangerous. LoboGris is trained on paws. We're wolves, not humans.

Mason walks by, laughing it up with two of the pledges. I hear the word 'Mu's' and snap my attention to him.

"José, hold off," I tell my warrior. "Keep the same plan now. Keep me updated."

"Sí, Alphason."

I hang up and turn to call out for Mason.

He saunters over, looking smug. "Pulled a prank on those ugly bitches," he brags.

My eyes narrow. I'm no idiot. Mason is bent out of shape because one of the little Mu's preferred Trevor over him. What was that blondchica'sname? Then, Holt beat the shit out of him after the disaster of that party.

"What did you do?"

"Let's just say we gave the whores what they need," he and the other twopendejosburst into laughter.

I send off a text to Cassidy and feel my headache grow worse when I see her response. I swear I can feel her hurt through the picture.

"¡Chale!"

All three males stop laughing when I explode. "You think this pussy-shit is funny?" I ask them. I feel the fur erupt on my spine and try to tamp down my beast. "Let me guess, you were seen, you dumbculero?"

"What's the problem, Carm? It's a harmless prank."

"Mason," I take a step toward him, making a decision. Too bad I can't hurt him. That would draw attention to the pack that I don't need right now. "Pack your shit,pendejo, and get the fuck out."
