“Are you ready to walk with me?” Reapus was next to us, his hat covering his eyes once again. He watched as the soul nodded her head. “Then follow me and choose..” He took a few steps and turned to look at Sion. “Ill be back for you soon. We have work to do.. without her by your side.” A second later he vanished with the soul of the girl.
I turned to look at Sion, my mind was racing. It was Sion that said the words I wasnt allowing myself to think.
“Could Jude have been the man? He was Taylors boyfriend, right?” As Sion said the words, I licked my lips and shook my head. If it was Jude… he betrayed us all. He lied. He.. he hated me. Gods, please… I continued to shake my head and I felt Sions arms come around me. He pulled my head to his chest and held me tightly against him.
“No matter what… l am here, Clover. We will figure it all out together.” His gentle tones washed over me, calming me down. I just. I knew that it being Jude could be a possibility, but I didnt want to believe it. It hurt to believe it.
“Now what?” I whispered in his Chest.
“We shouldnt show our hand. It is the only advantage we have right now. We can use this to our advantage. Not to mention… we dont know who we can even tell.” I knew what he meant by this, but l couldnt stomach that either. He was saying we couldnt trust Denny or Joey. Was it wrong of me to have faith in them? Or was this just the pathetic part of me holding on to the fake family I believed I had with them?
“We follow the breadcrumbs…” I whispered, thinking about what Reapus had said.
How did Hazel come to play in all of this? He put us on her trail for a reason too. 0r was it more about the mate bond? Was this what was suspicious? Could Hazel have been the other woman the soul heard?
“Did Hazel live alone?” Sion seemed to be thinking the same thing l was.
“Yes, she lived by herself.”
“Do you think Taylor would have stayed with her? Would she have hidden herself at her place?”
“Sion…” I pursed my lips and pushed back to look at him. “Taylor was working with demons. The same demon that caused-” I stopped and could see the darkness in his eyes.
He already knew. The same demon that killed his parents. The same one Dr. Snyde was working with. It was-all connected. I was still missing what exactly was tying it all together. Unless.. it was me.
Dr. Snyde wanted a sheya. It was the reason she had the light to notify her of a sheyas presence. But how was Taylor involved in this?
How did she get involved with Dr. Snyde? Where was the connection? This had to do with me. But how did those two work? Taylor would have told her about the possibility of me being a sheya.
Did she know from the day l arrived at the Chance pack? Was she already waiting for her opportunity? Then why try to kill me? Why would Taylor set me up to be killed. or was that not the real purpose?
I felt Sions grip around me tighten and I looked up at his gold-flashing eyes. I could see he was deep in thought as a growl reverberated in his chest. Did he also put together that I was connected to it?
“Sion?”
“l can keep you here, Clover. They wont be able to touch you here.”
“Sion..” I smiled and reached my hands up to cup his cheeks. “We have to save the Chance pack. We have a life to live. No matter what, I wont be afraid to continue to live my life.
Especially now that | have a future, Im excited to create.. with you.”
“l could lock you up here… where no one can ever harm you.”
I giggled and smiled. “Now you sound like at the other alphas.” I watched as a warm smite reached his lips as his eyes returned to hazel..
“Besides… you couldnt even if you wanted to…” I watched his eyes dance in amusement. “I could just order you to do what I want.”
“Silly woman…” He grabbed my hips, pressing himself against me. “You could always order me to do what you want even without your sheya powers.” He then lowered his head and melted his lips against mine.
No matter how complicated things were or were about to get. I had Sion. l embraced the warm tingles and inhaled his heady scent.
Together, we would overcome this challenge. We werent in this alone.
Even if I did end up dying.. I would end up with Sion. Here in the spirit realm. For all eternity.
Sion wasnt an expert in traveling between the realms. It seemed like he naturally gravitated to the dark spirit realm. It was harder for him to go back to the living realm. However, I was being pulled back to the other side. I could feel the connection and it was where my body wanted to go.
“Sion.” I whispered, interlacing my fingers with his. “Think about who is on the other side. Your friends and family. Let that feeling guide you.”
“You are right beside me. My mind naturally goes to you. Its where I want to be. Wherever you are. Who are you thinking of?”
His voice was a bit edgier with an almost growling tone. Sion is touchier and more possessive as a lupine… or maybe it is Anubis? In either case, is it weird that I kind of like it? I guess it comes from no one ever wanting me. I didnt mind a bit of possessiveness for once.
I smiled and squeezed our fingers together, looking at them for a moment. I could feel the warmth creeping over my face as l lifted my gaze to him. “I think of our home. Our future. Our children..”
“We are going to have a wonderful family. We will have a home that you love. We are going to figure everything out and we are going to come out on top. Remember, we cant tell anyone in your old pack about Taylor. I know.” His eyes softened as he looked at me. “I know you are close with the officers and Denny, but right now, it is best to assume the worst and hope for the best”
“l just worry about the danger they are in. Without them knowing they are at a disadvantage.” His eyes trailed over my face as a small smile reached his l!ps.
“My concern is for you. Until we have more information, we have to be cautious.” His eyes flickered with a dark amber and hazel coloring. “And once we find out who our enemies are we will destroy them including their souls.”
“Destroy their souls?” I asked seeing the dark amber of his eyes holding color.
“Once we kill them, I will pop over to the spirit realm and destroy their souls. For the crimes, they commit against my mate and my pack. they wont get a second chance at life.
“You dont believe in second chances? And maybe them doing better in the next life.” l chewed on my bottom l!p as I stared at him.
He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against mine. His amber eyes glowed though his expression was softer. “Anyone who has malicious plans against you… will not get another chance. For messing with my queen, the penalty is annihilation. I cant be benevolent when it comes to you.”
