Chapter 60
Chapter 0060
“We need a plan. Let’s get back to the packhouse and make one. We captured some wolves,we’ll interrogate them and see what they know.
I get in my van, putting on a spare set of clothes. WhenIarrive back at the packhouse, they are just bringing Alpha Rik in.
Rik
I’m so pissed at myself for getting captured. I know better, but I fell right into the trap.
I’m not surprised when Cara, or should I say Artemis, shows up, but I am shocked at how large she is. I hadn’t realized it when I saw her in the woods. before training. She is definitely the size of an alpha wolf. Her beautiful brown fur is the same color as Cara’s hair.
I watch as she assesses the situation, taking in all of the rogues surrounding her.I can’t help but feel pride when she takes one out just for getting too close to her. She’s amazing to watch in action..
The leader gets angry when she kills one of his wolves but his entire demeanor changes as she shifts into her human form, naked for all of them to see. I can’t help the snarl that bursts from my mouth, as I watch the wolves literally licking their lips as they stare at what’s mine.
Thank the goddess for small favors, the leader gives her a shirt to put on. I can see her nose twitch when she gets a whiff of it. Yeah, rogues stink.
I’m shocked when the wolfsbane does not affect her. For a second I was terrified but her anger was glorious. Then when she pushed her aura out. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen or felt before. As an Alpha, I can feel the aura of other alphas, but I’m not affected. This? This was something else. I’m not sure if I felt the need to submit because Kai is out cold or if her power is just that strong. I watch the other wolves whining and writhing on the ground. “That’s my girl. Kick
ass!‘
I don’t even care about the knife he digs into my throat. If only one of us is going to survive this, it’s going to be her. But she drops her aura when he threatens me. Then she calls him the Banished Beta, Eli Gunner. I know that name, but I can’t recall where or why.
I have to admit, she’s good at getting under his skin. And I agree with her, he doesn’t smell like an Alpha, but I can’t smell more than the rogue on him without

Kai.
When he says my role in this is over, I’m ready to be killed. After watching her in action, I know that once I’m gone, Cara will survive. I’m sad that she’ll never know that I was her mate, but she will live and maybe she and Liam will end up together. He would be good to her, although the thought of her with anyone else makes me sick.
But then he says he wants to make a deal, me for her. I can’t help myself, I have to jump in and try to order her to stand down. I know it won’t work, but it’s the only choice I have, because I know her. I know her family, I know their history. They will give everything for the ones they protect. And I don’t know if I can live with myself if she dies for me.
I always had respect for the Nelson family, for what they did for mine. But right here, right now, I also realize the toll that it has taken on my parents. To live with the guilt that someone gave their life for you? I don’t know that I’m strong enough to live with that. I don’t want to live without her, and I know Kai won’t either. She may not know yet that I’m her mate, but we know. And now that I know that she’s meant to be mine? There could never be another to take her
place.
I ignore the Beta’s taunting me about being stupid. I need Cara to look at me, to see that I don’t want her to do this. I don’t want her to take my place.
When she finally looks at me, I beg her with my eyes to not do this. I shake my head as much as I can. But I can see the resolve in her eyes, she ignores my request and agrees to his demand. I scream at her to stop. But before I can say any more, I feel the needle in my neck and everything goes black.
