"And yet he is closer every day," Sabine said "In any case, one day he will believe he is ready to exact revenge on his brother and his pack, and regain as his"

"His pride?" Jack asked, and Sabine shook her head, co, and he felt the warwe can ever understand Ghost really is unique"

"It sounds like he i the petulance he could not keep from his voice

"Oh, Jack," Sabine said softly, "he fascinates ain They parted reluctantly, and Jack knew instantly that there was still "

"Sabine There are things about s beyond your i, and perhaps one day I’ll tell you" She looked haunted, and he was sorry for upsetting her But he also believed she deserved to know that he had encountered the supernatural before, and that he had expanded his own senses to the point where he bore a touch of the supernatural hiht now, because I can sense it"

"Death," she said For a moment Jack wasn’t sure quite what shefor Ghost His ship is two days away"

Jack stared at her, his heart thundering into a gallop "So the confrontation is co at last And soon" He ran a hand over his scruff of beard One ship of ht between the two brothers and their packs, he and Sabine would surely die "Ghost is planning his revenge?"

Jack looked, then asked her where they were now She passed her hand across that chart and pointed to another spot

"When will Ghost know?"

"Unless I tell him, not until the ship is spied on the horizon"

Jack understood then Sabine had sensed Death’s ship but had purposefully kept it from Ghost, so that the Larsen would be taken by surprise She ht also be destroyed

"And then?"

"Death’s ship is bigger and faster, and his crew is twice the size of the Larsen’s"

Jack thought about it, then began to nod

"All right This can work It forces us to move quickly, but all the better, I think Sometime just before the attack is e make our escape There’ll be confusion as Ghost and his wolves react But…" Jack frowned, trying to think of how they could flee across the sea without dying in its depths, how they h to jump ship

"This crew is already unsettled," Sabine said "Your arrival here has upset the balance aze on him, frank and confident

"A distraction," Jack said

"Foment unrest in the crew, and when the tiuard"

"They’re already upset at Ghost appointing areatest weapon lies in the hold"
