"Dillon and I decided it would be best if we did not stay at their pack headquarters, especially since ill be questioning his wolves and so So ill be staying in a hotel close by We will be taking my SUV, which holds 9 and Dillon’s SUV, which holds 6, to the airport Boian, you will ride with Dillon and his wolves It is 2:00 pm Now, so by the tiht is a little over 2 1/2 hours, so we should arrive in Denver around 5:30 or 6:00 pm Any questions?" No one responded so Vasile turned to Dillon "Do you have anything you need to say?"
"Not right now I’m ready when you are" Vasile nodded his head and, without another word, headed towards Alina Everyone took that as their cue to gather up their stuff and head out to their assigned vehicles
Lilly alking through the house, entle hand on her ar at her with eyes that were as haunted as her own
"I just want you to knoill do everything in my power to find her," Dillon told , and she could tell he meant every word
"Thank you," was all she could say She didn’t knohat else to say Here the love of her life stood right before her, close enough to touch, and yet he was forever out of her reach But it was enough, Lilly decided, that he loved their daughter Even if he couldn’t love her, he loved Jacque and that would be enough
Once everyone was loaded into the vehicles, their bags all piled into the backs of each SUV, Sally took a ement Vasile, Alina and Lilly were in the front, Sorin, Decebel, and Fane were in the back, and Sally and Jen were in the second seat with Skender sitting in between them Sally looked around Skender to her wicked friend "What are you up to, Lucy?" Sally whispered
Jen had that look on her face that Sally was all too accustoht of it as the face before the storm
"Oh, Ethel, how could you possibly think I would be up to so?" Jen blinked innocently
Sally shook her head and noticed again as she sat back that Decebel’s location was directly behind Jen Great, Jen was in one of her moods where she just had to poke the lion She just couldn’t leave well enough alone Sally braced herself for as sure to be an entertaining ride to the airport, no h, not ten h "Sally, I’ainst the , looking like she was trying to get co to happen, she sat up and looked at Skender She shrugged her shoulders in a very ’what the hell’ sort of attitude and just before she laid her head on his shoulder, Sally saw Jen wink at her
Sally jumped when she heard the smack across the back of Skender’s head, and turned to look at where the hit had originated Decebel was glaring at the wolf, his eyes glowing dangerously He only said one word, but it was enough to give Sally chill bumps
"Move," Decebel told him Skender was up so fast that he hit his head on the roof of the vehicle He slipped around Sally and nudged her leg with his to indicate he wanted her to ain to see that his glowing eyes were now locked onto the back of Jen’s head
"You are a very bad girl I’ve told you that before, right?" Sally whispered in Jen’s ear
"Oh, chillax I wouldn’t ht into them, ya know? I mean, seriously, Sally How can I pass that up"
"Well, you could do like the rest of us and grow up," Sally said in her motherly tone
"Ahh, but Ethel, my dear, where would be the fun in that?"
"Where indeed," Sally htly more comfortable than when she had first woken up now that Dr Steele, or Cynthia as she insisted she call her, had given her some pain h not alords, mostly just to feel that he was still there, that the bond was still open between thean had planned She had been diligently trying to block part of her thoughts froet her to take his blood Jacque was sure that if Fane had not killed anyone yet, that little bit of information would tilt the scale
