Chapter 154


    Ten, Nine, Eight…


    (James)


    For thest few days we have been packed into this room like sardines. in a tin, it’s literally shifter on


    top of shifter. I’ve heard a few differentnguages floating around so I don’t think they are all American,


    some of the older shifters are just sitting against the wall looking like this is all an old game. Meals have


    who eats and who doesn’t. Me and Bemy have shared all of our meals, if this room has taught me


    anything it’s that Bemy is one hell of a fighter. I assumed I was the stronger of the two of us because


    I’m Beta but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bemy has some Alpha buried deep within. Sarah flits by every


    now and again but otherwise she seems to stick with the other females at the far side of the room,


    many of them are Omega, one of them is a stick thin pale skinned thing. She can’t be anymore than


    sixteen, I had to do a double take when I saw her. I could swear I’ve seen her with the Grey Pack


    before but ording to Sarah she’s been here forever.


    The door at the end of the room has me rising, I’ve been listening to Bemy’s stomach growl for a


    while now so I need to get him some food.


    “No food.” Bemy says from his spot on the floor, I just nod my head. Usually the smell of food is


    instant but this time there isn’t anything. but peopleing through the door.


    “Get up Bell, something’s happening.” I hold my hand out to Bemy to help him off the floor just as a


    guard walks past us carrying an assault rifle.

    Ten. Nine Eight..


    “You will file out in an orderly fashion, try to run and you will be shot.” The guard yells as he walks


    through the crowd, “do something other than walk to where you are told, you will be shot.”


    “Breath in the wrong way and you will be shot.” A sarcastic voice sounds from the elderly man on the


    floor next to my feet, the guard acts instantly. One second he’s walking through the crowd the next he’s


    raising his weapon and an overwhelmingly loud shot sounds around the room. A woman screams as


    warm blood stters up my naked leg, looking down I see the elderly man slumped forward with a


    bullet hole directly between his eyes.


    “Do anything I don’t like, you will be shot. Now move!” The guard roars from behind his headgear.


    “Bemy.” I say holding out my hand to him.


    “Yup, already moving.” his hand is sweating in mine which is the only thing that betrays the


    nervousness he’s feeling.


    It takes a while but soon we are stepping outside, I can see people being herded into cattle vans as if


    they are the animals they hold inside.


    ‘James?’ I turn my head to the left at the sound in my head, it sounded like Rick. ‘Get ready.’ I don’t


    answer, with a trigger happy guard around I need to keep my focus. I force Bemy to hang back, I


    have a feeling we are going to want to be as close to the doors as possible. The inside of the van stinks


    to high heaven, the horses they had in here before us, they haven’t bothered to clean it and I try not to


    think about what is between my toes.


    “Where are we going?” I hear someone in our van ask in a low voice, whoever she is, she sounds on


    the verge of a breakdown.


    “I don’t know, just stay quiet and do as you’re told.” I hear a female

    voice say in a soothing tone. I use my hand on the metal wall to steady myself as the van starts to


    slowly move forward, Bemy is pressed. against my front with only one other man in front of us.


    “Be ready, Rick is here.” I lean into Bemy’s ear so I can whisper directly to him, sure I could use the


    Pack link but why risk being caught off guard. Bemy doesn’t ask any questions which makes me


    think Rick has spoken to him too.


    We aren’t moving for long before we are all jolted forward as the van ms to a stop. Suddenly my


    nose is filled with the scent of fresh blood and the man in front of us startsining about a broken


    nose.


    ‘Iing.’ Rick sing songs through the Pack link, I feel Bemy tense up which means he heard the


    same thing.


    “We’re stuck Rick.’ I tell Rick so he knows that we don’t have a way


    out.


    ‘Sure because why would you do any of the heavy lifting from here,’ I know he’s taking the pis s but it


    rubs me the wrong way after weeks of captivity. ‘As soon as you’re out I need you to run for the trees,


    Mac is waiting with warriors. He has a knife to cut the tracker off both of you.’


    ‘What’s the hold up?’ I ask him, I can feel myself getting antsy and I know it’s because the Pack are so


    close. I can almost taste freedom.


    “They have Aurora, we are waiting for Winter to confirm she has her before we move.’ Rick tells me, I


    gasp aloud and some of the people in the van turn to look at me, I ignore them all.


    ‘Rick,’ I put every ounce of Beta into my voice that I can. ‘You don’t touch this van until that pup is clear,


    not one da mn paw.’ Bellmay nods. his head so I kiss the back of his hair in affection. Honestly, the fact


    that this man agrees with me makes me know he’s perfect for me.

    “When we get out of here, I’m going to mate you so hard you’re never going to forget who you belong


    to.” I whisper into Bemy’s ear, I feel him shiver against me.


    “Is that a promise?” Any other situation I’d have him t on his back showing him how much I mean


    what I said.


    ‘She’s clear! In ten, nine, eight, seven,’ the link cuts off but I start men tally counting at the same speed


    as Rick. I’m so focused on the counting that I don’t realise the doors are opening until Bemy starts to


    pull me forward.


    The people around us stand stock still, probably afraid it’s the trigger happy guarding back to do


    some more shooting. We use that to our advantage and push through the few in front of us, we fall


    from the van with very little grace. I hear Bemy curse as hends on his knees but he’s up and


    running for the trees within a split second, I waste no time in following him. I don’t look around to see


    where we are, who is looking or what caused us to stop. I run as fast as I can until I am passing a tree


    and someone is grabbing my arm. Just as I am about to start swinging a hand mps over my mouth


    and my shoulder is being


    feel them into. I roar out in pain but the hand muf fles my scream. I


    feel the blood trickling down my chest as I watch someone I don’t


    know dig his fingers into my shoulder and pull them out covered in blood but holding a little blinking


    bullet..


    “Clear.” He whispers.


    “Clear.” I hear another voice shout from my left, I look over to see Bemy in much the same state as


    me with Rick holding his hand over his mouth.


    “Alright, can you shift?” Mac whispers, I dig deep before shaking my head. “Da mn it.” Mac curses just


    as I hear fabric ripping and Bemy’s sandy wolf walks in front of me tilting his head to the side. I dig


    down. deep and there in the dark is Zeus, he’s tired and groggy but he nods.

    us the vans are going to start moving again.


    “We need to get back to Fraction.” Rick says before shifting into his own wolf and heading North of


    where we are. I let Ru go first so I can keep him in my sight, I need to make sure he’s safe, I don’t wait


    to see if the others follow, I just let Zeus take over and race through the trees.
