"Oh, I know, Dear. My grandsones home atte hours and always looks so


    tired," she sighed. "You know if there''s anything you need, I''m here. I might be


    old, but I can still fight."


    I realized that this old woman wore a gamma tattoo proudly on her arm, and I


    raised my brows. She was a gamma warrior?


    "I don''t doubt that," Lucy giggled before straightening up, following the sound of


    my throat clearing loudly. There was no time for small talk or catching up with an


    old friend; I needed to find Judy. "Speaking of your grandson, is he home?"


    She shook her head, a small frown marring her wrinkled features. Her eyes finally


    found mine, and I saw the nerves clouding her vision.


    "Is everything okay?" She asked, her eyes fixed back on Lucy''s face. "With


    Spencer, I mean?"


    Lucy looked over her shoulder at me and then turned back to Carol.


    "We aren''t sure," she admitted. "But it''s better if we find him sooner orter. He


    took off with someone, and we need to find her."


    Her brow furrows.


    "He left with a woman?" She asked. "Oh heavens... please tell me it wasn''t Judy


    Montague."


    Did everyone in this pack know of his obsession with Judy and not think for a


    second that she should know about it? Or maybe Judy did know about it and just


    didn''t care.


    The thought made me feel sick to my stomach, but I pushed the bile down and


    narrowed my eyes at Carol.


    "We need to know where he could have brought her. She''s not at home and she''s


    not here. Is there anywhere else he would have taken her?" I asked, my tone


    leaving no room for arguments.


    She stared at me for a moment, probably weighing her options and trying to figure


    out my intentions.


    "You have to promise me you won''t hurt him," she said slowly. She''s the first


    person, besides Judy, who can look me directly in the eyes while my Lycan aura


    radiates so strongly. She must be an incredibly powerful wolf.


    "I can''t promise that," I say honestly. "If he touched her... if she''s hurt in any way,


    your grandson''s blood will be on my hands. But if you cooperate, I''ll try to make it


    less painful and quicker. That''s the best you''re going to get."


    I didn''t have time to feel bad; she winced at my words, and Lucy stared at me with


    her mouth agape like she couldn''t believe I just said that to an old woman.


    Carol swallowed, and I knew from the look in her eyes that she wasn''t going to


    argue with me, so she nodded.


    "He had a cabin 10 miles south of


    here," she said slowly. "It''s in the


    rogue district. If you follow the road


    to the fork and then go down the


    pathway, essible by car, on the


    right side of the road. A mile in, you''ll


    find a gathering of trees that almost


    look like a wall. Drive around it and


    you''ll find a cabin hidden in the


    darkest corner away from the eyes


    of the road. It''s his hideout."


    "He has a hideout in the rogue district?" Lucy asked, raising her brows.


    She nodded.


    "He found it when he was a little boy.


    He ran off after a particrly bad


    fight with his parents. He needed


    space and was gone before anyone


    could blink. Apparently, he made it to


    the rogue district, and he fought off


    all of them, scaring them away from


    that section. He was young, but


    fierce and powerful, and they knew it


    right away. Though he was too


    young to have a wolf, he had been a


    trained fighter his whole young life


    and was exceptionally skilled. Plus,


    they knew better than to mess with


    someone from a pack, so that


    helped as well. They left that cabin


    and that area alone ever since."


    "How do you know about this?" I asked skeptically. "Are you sure this ce is


    real?"


    She nodded.


    "Yes, he showed me himself. I was against it at first, obviously, but I saw how at


    ease he waspared to when he''s home with his parents. Who was I to take


    that away from him? Everyone needs an escape... the cabin was his."


    "And you think he brought Judy to this cabin?" I asked.


    "If he''s not at her ce or here... then yes. That''s the only other ce he''d think


    to go," she replied.


    Just as I was about to turn and head towards the cabin, I heard screaming from a


    distance, followed by growling. Gunshots went off, and the sounds of shifting


    roamed through the streets, reaching my ears in seconds.


    "What''s going on?" Lucy asked.


    I looked around, smelling something


    that made my stomach coil. I heard


    more gunshots and more shifting


    there was screaming and running


    going on all around us, though we


    could barely see anything through


    the gunpowder and dirt that was


    filling the pack.


    "Holy shit," Carol whispered, her eyes wide as she pointed in the distance.


    I turned, and my eyes narrowed when I saw what she was looking at.


    Rogues.


    They were all running towards the pack.


    And there was a shit ton of them.
