Chapter 40: Handling Business

*Nikko's POV*

I transitioned as soon as I closed the car door, opening my mind-link up to the entire pack at once. Ash could hear the shouts and howls, so we took off towards those. I sorted through the mind-link to see if anyone was in need of aid, and let Ash take over the physical half of it.

"Byron, stay close to Jo, please," I hurried and mind-linked him. I knew he had followed me out of the car, but he had to be closer to her than me.

"Yes, Alpha," Byron sent a quick reply and I felt him turn back towards the car.

I knew that I had told Jo to stay in the car, but I also knew Jo and knew that she wouldn't listen. Ash let out a whine. He wanted to go back for her.

"We can't bud," I told him sadly, though I wanted to go back too. "The pack has to come first. Protect the pack. It is not just our mate that is in danger."

Ash's feet picked up speed. At least there was still plenty of light to see with the afternoon sun.
