Chapter0242
I look at Liam. “He doesn’t know about her history, does he?” I mind link him.
He gives a small shake of his head, no. Dustin is in for a long, hard road with Sarah if she can even accept what we are.
“What about you?” She turns to look at me. “How did you get away?”
“Iran until I fell into Liam’s pack lands.” I nod at Liam.
“Pack lands?” She asks.
“You remember what the vampires called me?” She nods but looks uncertainly at Dustin and Liam.
“They know I’m a Guardian. I’m a werewolf Guardian.”
She looks at me, then at the guys and back to me again.
“You’re a werewolf, like that Stephen King movie?”
“Well, yes and no. We’re shape shifters, but we don’t go around killing people.”
She looks at Dustin and Liam again. “We?” It comes out as a squeak.
Liam replies. “Yes, I am the Alpha of my pack, Dustin is my Beta or second in command and Angel is mate.‘

“It’s a lot to take in. But we are not going to hurt you. Werewolves are nothing like vampires.” I say and she nods.
“So, you are running from the hunters?” Liam asks her.
“Yes. I couldn’t do what they wanted, so one night I escaped and ran. I changed my hair, added some glasses, and I ended up here. I saw the add for the secretary and applied. I was thankful to have work because I was out of money.”
“Where are you living?” Dustin asks her.
I see her blush and she looks down at her hands. I reach out and cover her hands with mine. “It’s okay, you can talk to us. We only want to help.”
She sneaks a glance at Liam before looking back down at her hands. “I’ve been living on the streets, coming in early and washing up in the bathrooms here before work.”
I see Dustin’s hands clench into fists. His need to take care of his mate has his wolf on edge again. “Liam?” He says turning to my mate.

Liam is nodding. He leans forward,putting his elbows on his knees, effectively putting him at eye level with Sarah. “Sarah, did you know that the vampires have put a bounty on your head?”
I see her shock at the same moment Dustin jumps up from his seat. “WHAT??!!” He yells. He looks between Sarah and Liam. “She is the other girl with the bounty” on her head?”
“What does that mean?” She asks me, her lips trembling.
“Itmeans,” I tell her, “that the vampires are looking for you. Sebastian wants you back.”
Her hands go to her mouth, they are trembling as the tears start to fall down her face. “I have to go. I have to run. I can’t go back there.”
I understand exactly what she’s feeling. I feel the same way. She jumps up and starts running for the door. Dustin moves quickly and gets in her path. “We can protect you. You can come stay in our pack, right Liam?” He asks, never taking his eyes off of Sarah.
“Of course. You will be safe there. The pack will protect you.”
“You can’t protect me.” She says.
“Yes, we can.” I tell her, walking over to her. “It took me awhile to realize it too, but we have a plan. We know they are coming for me, and we’ll be ready. If you go out on your own, you’ll never know when they may find you. If you stay with us, we’ll keep you safe. Our pack is strong, and the neighboring pack, which has two Guardians, will fight with us. We won’t lose.”
“Please.” Dustin pleads with her. “Please come back to the pack with us. You’ll have food, a safe place to sleep and I’m sure Liam can set it up so you can work from there, right Liam?” He asks, practically begging Liam with his eyes.
I can feel Liam sigh behind me, knowing he’ll make this work. He would have anyway for me, but knowing that she’s Dustin’s mate as well, he’ll find a way to let her keep working from the packhouse.
“Yes. We’ll find some way for you to work from the packhouse so you can stay. safe. I’ll set it up with George. We’re staying the night in the city tonight. I’ll get you a room to stay in and you can return with us tomorrow. Okay Sarah? It is Sarah, right? Not Heather?”
She gives him a shy smile. “It’s Sarah.”
“Okay Sarah. I don’t want you going anywhere without me or Dustin with you.

We don’t know if the hunters are tracking you, but we do know that the vampires are, so I’d feel safer if one of us is with you at all times.”
She nods.
As we walk out of Liam’s office, we start to move toward Sarah’s desk, setting up another chair for Dustin to work beside her when the scent hits me.
My head whips around to the elevators. “Liam!” I cry, just as the elevator doors. open and Sebastian walks out with two other vampires.
