few years. I travel around and can t always afford a phone, so I usually call him when I get to
someplace stable. Two months ago I called and a stranger answered the phone. He told me
my brother was in trouble. I-I went to see him and found out a group of men had taken over
his house. They had him in a cat carrier so small he couldn t change even if he wanted to.
Rage tore through Evin. No one should be treated that way.
 They told me they had been tracking the lion shifters for a while and figured the best
way to catch a shifter is to send in another shifter. Th-they injected me with a poison. They
said it would kill me if I didn t return in a week with everything I can tell them about the lion
shifters base. To make sure I did what they said, they injected Garfield too. I-I don t care if I
die my life hasn t been much anyway but my brother doesn t deserve this. He helped
raise me. He wasn t the warm cuddly type but he s the only family I have left. He told me to
r-run. Tears welled in Chester s eyes.
 That s why you wouldn t let Dillon bite you, isn t it? You were afraid he d get
poisoned.
Chester nodded.  Yeah, I couldn t take the chance.
 You should ve told him, Adrian said, a scowl marring the pretty shifter s face.  He
thinks you ve denied his claim.
 No! Chester shouted.  No. I just wanted to protect him. I didn t expect to find my
mate, much less two of them. I couldn t infect him.

Talan sighed and ran a hand through his hair.  I wonder how long they ve been trying
to get to us. We ve had some problems lately with People Against Werekin. Do you think
they re part of that organisation? That might have put us on their hit list.
Chester shrugged.  They didn t find me worthy of discussing the details. They saw me
as a pawn and treated me like that. It could be the same people. I did hear something about a
society, but, like I said, they didn t really talk to me until they shot me full of poison.
Evin sniffed at Chester.  You don t smell infected.
 That doesn t mean he s not, Adrian warned.  If it s PAW, they used to have an entire
lab at their disposal and we don t know how many more they might have that we don t
know about. They could easily have developed a poison.
 True, Talan agreed.
 Dillon might have gone straight into a trap, Evin snarled.  You can debate my
possible poisoning later. Right now we need to go after him and make sure he s safe. He
could ve been captured and we d never know it.
Talan narrowed his eyes.  As Dillon left about two minutes ago, I think, even if he were
captured, they wouldn t have had the chance to do much. I value each member of my pride
and I don t appreciate you behaving as if I were negligent in their care.
Fear dried the moisture in Evin s throat. In either form, the alpha lion would have little
trouble killing Evin if he tried to protect Chester.
To Evin s surprise, Adrian pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and dialled with the
speaker turned on. A minute later Dillon s voice came across the line.
 Hello, Adrian.
Adrian didn t bother to return the greeting.  Dillon, get back here your mate is in
trouble. Adrian hung up before Dillon had a chance to respond.
 Do you think he ll come? Chester asked.
 Yes, Chester. I m sure he ll come, Adrian said in a gentle voice.
Evin rubbed Chester s back. How had everything fallen apart so quickly? He d come to
warn of hunters and his brother s collaboration and had met his mates, only to lose one right
away and have the possibility of losing the other one.
A door banged open somewhere in the house.  Adrian! Dillon s voice echoed from
down the hall.

Adrian smirked.  In here.
Dillon came skidding into the room. His frantic gaze swept over Chester and Evin
before settling on Adrian.  What s going on?
 We ll let you talk then we ll decide what to do. Adrian grabbed Talan s arm and
pulled him out of the room, their pancakes abandoned.
Chester leapt at Dillon. Instinctively, the lion shifter caught him.  What s wrong?
 I thought they d captured you, Chester sobbed.
Dillon turned a questioning look towards Evin, who stepped in and told him
everything Chester had shared with them.
 We need to go and rescue your brother, find the poison cure and find out who these
people really are, Dillon said.
Evin nodded.  As long as we stand together we can beat them. It sounded trite and
something a Hollywood hero would say, but he stood by his statement. If things went well [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
