The Wolf Prince's Fated Heart - Page 96
“Do we know where she is?” I ask.
“Doesn’t matter, does it?” Garren shrugs, his brows rising. “We just need to intercept Jason before he moves her some place he can toy with her.”
I start to growl, but Alyssa cuts me off.
“Have a bit of compassion, Garren,” her mate tells him. “Think twice before replying.”
Garren takes a deep breath and nods. “I’m sorry, brother,” he tells me. “We don’t know where she is. When Tiana got in touch with us, she was in the car with her. She said she’ll be in touch again soon.”
“Fuck!” I roar as I grab the nearest chair and slam it into the wall. It splits into countless pieces. My family is used to the theatrics, though they rarely come from me, so they don’t even flinch.
“Did you try using the bond?” Grayden asks, no doubt remembering the time Helia was kidnapped by her twin sister and he had to locate her. I was able to help him. Why can’t I help myself?
“It’s too weak,” I reply.
“It must have something to do with the fact that she’s a human,” Helia thinks out loud, and I suppress the urge to growl at her. I’d come to the same conclusion a while ago.
She’s a friend, my wolf reminds me. She was the one who saved Cassie’s life when we lost control.
Garren’s phone rings and we all freeze. He answers immediately. He doesn’t need to put it on speaker for us to hear, but he does it anyway because Helia’s the only one who doesn’t have a heightened sense of hearing.
“Tiana,” Garren says. “Is Cassie okay?”
Stay calm, my wolf urges. Let Garren talk to her.
“For now, yeah,” she responds. “But it’s not her who’s in trouble right now.”
“What do you mean?” Garren asks, frowning. “Speak clearly.”
I exhale in relief. Jason hasn’t harmed her.
“You are,” Tiana replies, and I’m not the only one taken aback. “The radicals are on their way to Grey Manor. You have to leave now!”
“Where is Cassie?” I ask, grabbing Garren’s phone. “Where are you keeping her?”
“She’s in East Williamsburg,” she replies. “It’s the third warehouse on the right when coming from the north.”
“Okay, are there guards?” Garren jumps in.
“The radicals have set up their camp here,” Tiana says, apparently earning Jason’s trust to the point of being privileged with this kind of information. “I’m not sure who’s staying behind. The majority of the group has already departed. I’m coming toward Grey Manor with the next wave. Be ready or get the fuck out.”
“We’ll be ready,” Garren promises before finishing the call.
“I’m going after Cassie,” I say, already on my feet.
“We need you here,” Garren says, using the voice of a king. “We need every fighter we can get.”
“Then call the packs,” I growl back. “I’m going after my mate.”
“I’ll send the word for all the packs to come here as soon as possible,” Alyssa says, thinking like an Alpha. “All we need to do is buy ourselves enough time for them to come.”
“We’ll call on the Lafayettes too,” Gavin says, and Leia nods. “We’re staying here to fight with you.”
“I’ll put up some protective spells,” Helia offers. “The radicals have witches, so they might not last long, but every second counts.”
“I’ll cover you,” Grayden tells her, giving her hand a squeeze.
“We have to gather the wolves in the manor,” Garren continues, adding on to the plans. “They need to get behind the walls.”
