Loyal

Leo’s gaze raises and we lock eyes. We don’t have time for this, we don’t have time for a traitor, we don’t have to stand out here in the enemy’s hallway. What the fuck is going on?

“What’s going on here?” I demand. “Are you a traitor?”

Briana was one of the best if not the best warrior we had. Her skills surpassed even those of our high-ranked warriors. Losing her was a huge loss and if Leo was a traitor, the odds Ethan and I were going to get back to our pack weren’t looking good. Leo shook his head.

“No, she was the traitor,” Leo said as he held my gaze.

“How can we know for sure?” I asked as Elijah coughed up blood beside me.

He should be healing. We didn’t have time. We needed to get out of here and fast. Elijah was getting heavier by the minute, sicker by the minute as whatever was happening upstairs played out.

“If I was a traitor, I would have let her go and report our presence to Shane. You would come open the door to a hallway full of people,” Leo said.
