Chapter 5 " Why ? Even though she left your pack , I'm pretty sure the Brook well wolves would still be willing to help her . " " Of course they would . My uncles raised Ava - they adore her , think of her as family . But my pack has been under the scrutiny of extremists and human law enforcement ever since I joined The Movement . I've kept my connection to Ava quiet . Otherwise , she could be used against me . " It was a wise decision . " And if you send anyone from your pack or The Movement to help her , she'll come under the scrutiny of the humans too , " Raze concluded . Still ... " Talon , you've got a lot of contacts . " Scary , dangerous , and equally sociopathic contacts . " Why come to me with this ? " " I could send some people to ' take care ' of the situation , sure . But that would end in violence . Ava and I lost our parents when our entire pack was slain because of what a couple of assholes did . I won't do the same , and Ava would never forgive me if I did . Besides , I only trust a handful of people in this world . You're one of them . " Raze snorted . " You don't trust me , you just trust that I'll keep my word . " [] Talon shrugged . " Same difference . The point is I trust that you'll keep my Ava safe . " ]] It was odd to see his friend care about anything other than The Movement . Maybe she was his mate ? A mate Talon didn't intend to claim , for whatever reason , or she wouldn't have been dating Zarek . [ ] What is it exactly that you want me to do ? " " I want you to take her to stay with your pack for a while . I'll be out of here in four months . I'll take matters from there . " ] Sighing , Raze leaned back in his seat . Doing what Talon had asked wouldn't be easy , since Nick hated outsiders around his pack . " You should have gone to Nick with this . He's the Alpha . " " Yeah , but he doesn't owe me a favor . " Anger thickened Talon's voice as he continued . " She's not safe there with those fuckers , Raze . " " It's possible that she wouldn't be any safer at the Moonvale Pack right now . " A week ago , one of the enforcers , Jesse , had become ill after hunting an animal on their territory that they later discovered had been poisoned . After further investigation , the pack found other animals on their land had been poisoned as well . " There's been a minor attack on the pack . " " If you need the matter taken care of , I can arrange that . " Talon said calmly . " We don't even know who's responsible . It could be an isolated incident . " Though Raze doubted it . ] " Could be . " Talon didn't seem any more convinced of that than Raze . " Nonetheless , it changes nothing . Your pack might not be the safest place to be , but Ava's in more danger where she is . Even if she wasn't , I won't tolerate people making false accusations against her . " That's why you came to me with this , " Raze discerned . " Kind of sneaky of you . " [ Talon shrugged , unrepentant . " I want Ava safe . If playing someone's conscience will make that happen , I won't hesitate . " ] You're forgetting that I don't have much of a conscience . " " Then do it because you owe me . Those words hit Raze like a punch , leaving him with nothing to say . If it hadn't been for Talon , he would never have tracked down the lying bastard who had put the nail in Raze's metaphorical coffin and sent his fourteen - year - old ass to juvie . " Fine . I'll do it . " Talon gave a satisfied nod . " When I get out of here , I'll deal with her pack . Until then , I need to know she's away from them . Understand ? " [ ] Since Raze didn't really have any other choices ... " Yeah . Tell me what I need to know about her . " ] " Her full name is Alyssa Silverthorne . She's twenty six years old . And she's a Seer . " ] " A Seer ?! " Raze's spine locked . " No way !!! It came out a growl ) ( 0 ) ( 0 ) Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
