I sit back down, my head in my hands. I scrub my face with my hands before looking up at everyone. “Cara’s my mate. I would never have let her take my place if I could have stopped it. I tried to make her stand down. My alpha aura didn’t work, as I knew it wouldn’t. I tried to convince her not to take my place. But she didn’t listen.” I look at Mr. Nelson, “She is her parents’ daughter after all and she takes her role as Guardian very seriously.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Liam sit back down, hard. “How do you know she’s your mate?” He asks.
“Kai recognized her as our mate as soon as he saw her last night. I didn’t tell her because I wanted to give her time to turn 18 and find out on her own. But now….”
“We’ll find her,” my father says.
They begin to update me on the trackers’ progress. They are heading west following her scent and a strong scent of rogues. Dad and Liam are looking at a map, trying to decide our next course of action when Mr. Nelson shouts, “Cara!”
The room goes silent as we wait for him to tell us what is going on. “She’s ok, they’ve been walking all night.”
He looks over at me and speaks out loud, “Yes, He has come back around. The wolfsbane is still in his system but he is recovering slowly. Honey, where are you?”
I feel sick. She has been kidnapped and is goddess only knows where, but she’s asking about me.
“They’ve taken her to a place where there are parked cars. She’s in the back of a dark colored 4-door hatchback SUV. She didn’t see a road and now she can’t see anything.”
“Ask her if she knows what they want.” My dad says.
“Eli says he’s an Alpha now and he has some plan. Cara doesn’t know what it is.”

“They are on the move.” He tells us as he moves over to the map.
“If they were heading west, where is the best place to store a bunch of cars, out of sight?”
I stand up to look at the map. There is a small clearing about 20 miles west near enough to a road that it could be the spot. Just as I see it, Alpha Liam points to it. “There. I bet that’s where they are. We need to get someone there now.”
I turn to leave. “Where are you going son?” My father asks.
I look back at him. “I’m going to find her.”
Liam moves to follow me. “I’m going as well.” I look at him and nod. We’ll have to put our differences aside if we want to find her, and I don’t care who finds her, as long as she’s found and brought back unharmed. Plus, Liam is out for blood. If this guy killed his mom, Liam won’t stop until he finds him.
As we walk out of the office, I stop and turn to Liam. “A word.”
Liam looks at Dustin. “I’ll meet you at the car.”
I wait until Dustin is out of earshot before I turn to Liam. “She’s my mate. That means you keep your hands off her.”
Liam steps up into my space. He’s only an inch taller than I am, so we’re basically eye to eye. “You don’t know that she’ll choose you, even if you are her fated mate. You didn’t even know who she was last week. And, I’m not sure you truly appreciate the amazing woman she is, aside from being a Guardian.”
I growl low and push my chest against his. “She’s my mate. That has nothing to do with her being a Guardian. You will keep your hands off of her. She’s mine!” I snarl at him.
He narrows his eyes at me. “Fine, I’ll keep my hands off of her on one condition.” He pauses, but I wait him out. “You don’t interfere with me seeing her and if she chooses me, you let her go.”
I don’t like it. I know they are much closer than she and I are, but I need him to agree to not touch her. “Fine. She decides.” I step back and put my hand out. He reaches out and we shake on it.
We both head outside and get in our cars. Time for me to see if this Porsche is as fast as they say it is.
Now they know that Cara is is Rik’s mate.

It’s nearly dawn when we stop again. The hatch is opened and I stand up, stretching out my aching muscles as best as I can. This time we’re at what looks like an abandoned packhouse. I look around. Most everything here is dilapidated. It looks like the building could collapse at any moment.
“What is this place?” I ask.
Eli walks up beside me, taking my arm. “It’s your new home Cara.”
“The place could definitely use a woman’s touch. Is that why I’m here? Interior decorating? ‘Cause that’s not really my speciality.”
We walk inside and I can see that at least some work has been done to make the inside more liveable. The kitchen and appliances seem to be in working order, so there’s electricity at least. He walks me through what looks to be a living room that has cushions sitting on the floor and an old, smelly couch in the corner. I can see the faded paint on the wall where there once was a television, but that’s long gone.
“This is all that remains of the Silver Dawn Pack,” he finally says.
I look at him. “Your old pack?” He nods, looking around as if seeing the place for the first time.
“Yep, with your help, we will restore this pack to its former glory, make it even stronger than it was before. Better.”
“So, let me get this straight. You’re old Alpha was defeated by Alpha Leander almost 20 years ago. And, because you were the Beta heir at the time, you think that his death makes you the new Alpha and you plan to restore and rebuild the pack using rogues?”
He turns and looks at me. “Rogues and you.”
“Me?”
“Yes, how else can I create the strongest heir possible. I’ll take you as my mate and you’ll produce my heirs. Because I am an Alpha and you are a Guardian, our pups will be strong. Stronger than any other Alpha and no one will be able to take this pack from us.”
My stomach turned at what he was saying. “You’re crazy. Why would I agree to be your mate?”
“Your agreement is preferable, but not required. If you won’t agree to be my mate, I’ll mark you anyway. Eventually the mate bond will kick in and you won’t be able to resist it or me. Then, together, we will rebuild this pack and make it the largest and strongest pack in the country. Maybe even the world.”
“So this is your grand plan? Take me, a Guardian, as a mate, rebuild your pack from the dilapidated ashes of the past and what, restore your name? Has anyone ever told you that you have delusions of grandeur?”
“You were the key, and now you are here.”
My lip curls in disgust. “I will never take you as a mate.”
“We’ll see about that.” He turns to me, grabs my hair, ripping my head to the side before sinking his canines into my marking spot.
