Neah”Let’s go!” Brax grabs my arm and starts hauling me away like I’m some piece of furniture that’s slowing him down.”Let go of me.” I snap, prying his fingers from my skin. “I still have questions!””If we don’t leave now, I’m going to put a bullet through Blondie’s head.”‘It was only a matter of time.’ Nyx mutters”Because you didn’t like what she was saying?” I protest as he ushers me around to the passenger side of the car and practically pushes me onto the seat.”No.” His voice drops to a whisper. “I wanted whoever is watching us to hear me say that.”I start to turn my head. Moments before knocking on the door of Blair’s home, I had a feeling someone was watching us, but there were no scents other than ours and I couldn’t see anyone.”Keep your eyes on me, Neah. They need to think we are unaware of them. If you start looking around, you will draw more attention.””I can’t smell anything.” I mutter as Nyx makes the same declaration.”We’re not supposed to. They are masking their scent, it’s why I cannot pinpoint a location. There could be more than one.” He whispers back to me. “We are going back to Black Shadow. If they choose to follow us, it is on them. But I made a promise to keep you safe and that is exactly what I am going to do. Now buckle up.”He slams the door shut, barely missing my fingers and I curse him as I pull the belt around me.”Do you think it’s this Cooper/Ash guy?” I ask as he speeds in the direction of Black Shadow.”I’m not sure. Even if he had found a way to mask his own scent, I’m certain I would still be able to scent Madison as he was the one who took her. Madison’s scent wasn’t there.””We don’t know if they were watching us or Blair and Samara.””Us.” He replies and the car seems to gain more speed. My fingers coil around the belt as though it was going to somehow save me if we crash.”How can you be certain?” I ask as I grip the belt tighter.”There is a car following us and it has been since we left.”I look over my shoulder and the silver car is starting to fall back. It eventually slows to a crawl and pulls off on the grass as we turn the bend.’They knew that we knew they were following us.’ Nyx growls”Lycan or a Wolf?” I ask Brax.”I believe they are Lycan.”””Believe?””Masked scent makes it trickier, I may be wrong, it could be Wolves, but I would rather not stick around to find out.””Is it easy to mask scents?””No. It takes a lot and is a well thought out process.”
I stare at him. There was so much that I didn’t know about him. Only little bits of information came through when he decided to share. He wasn’t the type of Wolf that you could force information from either.I look over my shoulder again. I couldn’t see the car anymore. “They’re gone.”Brax bobs his head, but doesn’t slow down. We almost hit a car coming in the opposite direction. He finally slows down until we come to a stop and I breathe a sigh of relief. I had only been in cars a handful of times and they made me nervous. “You’re worried about Maddie. We will find her.” I offer, hoping it would make him feel better.He takes his eyes off the road for a second to look at me. His face is unreadable, but slowly, a smile appears. “You’re right, we will.”Just as he starts the car, something slams into us from behind. The seatbelt constricts around me as all my organs are thrown forward and I have the urge to vomit. Sharp pain rips through my chest and stomach as the seat belt cuts into me.
