Chapter 42: Strong Message

*William*

“It was you that tracked us?” William asked, keeping his face carefully blank.

“It was,” Edwin said solemnly.

“We’d have gotten our hands on you eventually,” Anthony shrugged, “but we might have missed the humans. They were supposed to stall at the Gap to wait for us, but humans are such fickle things. You heard how easily that one was willing to leave the rest behind.”

Garan shifted uncomfortably as William heard an intake of breath from one of the other humans. At least they were wise enough to keep their mouths shut.

“You know, for a while there, I thought good old Ed was working against the Alpha …” Anthony’s eyes glinted in the torchlight. “I thought he was playing traitor with you. But when the time came, he handed you right over to us, all too eager to get in the Alpha’s good graces.”

William stared at his friend whose face was a blank mirror of his own.

Brynn might have gotten away if not for him.

“We need to clean him,” Edwin said.
