“Damnit!” Josiah cursed. “The whole damn place is empty.” Nick said very calmly. “Well, no shit. We can all see that.” Josiah yells at him. “Mack, he warned them, we were coming.” Shaba says. “I told you we didn’t have the time to get Nick, and to pick him on the way back.” “Shut up.” Josiah. “We still have the grandchild card to play with Skylar and there is no better place for her to be than right in the middle of our enemies.” Shaba says.
“I don’t understand how Mack beat us here and got everybody out so damn quickly.” Josiah says out loud. “Unless she was long gone from this place already.” Shaba says holding an envelope with Josiah’s name on it. “She left this for you.” Josiah took the letter from Shaba and stared at the envelope. The note was dated three years ago.
“You going to read it?” Nick asked. “I already know what it says.” He replied as he looked at Shaba and said these words. “Don’t move. You are standing on a bomb.” “Fuck. If circumst
Happy New Year!!!!
Josiah opened the door to the tool shed and walked in. The place looked like it had been cleaned out and cleaned to ensure nothing was left behind. He let out a heavy sigh as he scratched his head. He carefully walked around the outer edge of the interior looking for anything that would help him defuse the bombs. He almost didn’t find anything and gave up when his eyes spotted a crack in a seam along the floor, next to the work bench. The wouldn’t have noticed it, but it looked like someone tried to remove it in a hurry. He bent down to investigate further, when he spotted a switch underneath the work bench. He pressed it and the crack grew two inches bigger and revealed a small hidden cubby whole. Josiah jerked on the crack until it came off in his hand. Josiah appeared in the hole and there laid a single pair of rusty wire
“Well, what did your warlock have to say?” Tanner asked. “He gave me both bad and good news.” She said picking up the last of her things and setting them in bed of a pickup. The coven put most of their stuff in storage as soon as they had heard Josiah was free. “Josiah and Shaba live, but the third man that was with them did not survive. He was decapitated and killed after the first explosion. They managed to defuse 2 bombs. Which is why they survived.” She says.“Adam told me Shaba was not happy about the death of this man. She will be seeking revenge on me which means I am now in this until the end regardless.” She says looking at Tanner. “Mr. Tanner, I hope you are right about the Copa’s offering safe haven. I plan to send the young mothers and fathers there with the small children.” “Of course, my daughter is the Alpha Coven Elder now. She still has the council members to help keep her on the right pa
Adam knew he would be seen. He wasn’t worried about Josiah following them, since he astral projected from a good distance away and watched. There would be no physical tracks to follow. He even headed in the wrong direction from where he was and the rest of the coven. It would take a little while for Josiah to even discover the ruse.Little did Adam know, but Josiah wouldn’t discover it for quite some time. Astral projection was not something the witches talked or wrote about. It was the only way they could keep watch with a close eye. Depending on a witch’s level of power, they could go undetected like a fly on the wall.Adam had decided that he would astral project to check on Josiah, since his brother would be driving to see if they were still safe or if he had somehow managed to figure out that they had been duped. He checked on the horses and, in the trailer, and sent them positive thoughts before floating through the air.He came across th
“Are you sure you heard correctly?” Mack asked. “Yes Shaba said she would not be fooled this time and that Philly was going to lead her right to Skylar.” “What did she mean by not fooled this time? Think really hard.” “Shit, she said she was going to try and pick up on his scent in the morning, then she would turn the opposite way of his scent.” Adam said recollecting her words.“That doesn’t mean Philly is in with her, but we knew she may have seen him when she turned back yesterday to pick up a third person.” Mack says. “She called him Nick and said he meant the world to her. I think she was talking to his mate or a parent. She apologized for the loss.” Adam continues. “What else did she say?” Skylar asked. Adam hesitated before looking up. “You have a granddaughter. She told Josiah that she would call and see if her location was found.” He says. “What?&rd
The next morning Shaba made some phone calls and no location for the granddaughter has been found so far. “I should have had them tailed that day. Then we would know where they were living.” She said as Josiah was came back from paying the check. “We will find her. Even if we have to set up another meeting and then do a snatch and grab.” Josiah told her. “Did you catch Philly’s scent?” He asked her. “Yes, hang a left out of the gas station.” “Are you sure, last time you said you got fooled.”“Yeah last time I followed the scent. This time we will go the opposite direction.” “Do you think they may have anticipated that?” “I have which is why I have already called back up. Daniel, who knows Philly’s scent just as well if not better, is taking a few with him and going to follow his scent while we go the opposite way.” “Good plan.” Josiah says.3
“We should be there by the end of the day.” Mack tells Ashur. “You haven’t seen Shaba or any of her rogues?” He asked. “No Philly has been doing a great job of keeping them off our trail. By the time she is aware of where we are, we will be pulling into the gates.” Mack said. “I’ll let Nezerra know. Felan is happy you will be returning here. She knows soon she can see her mother.” “Ashur, Aaliyah is not with us. She stayed back at her father’s pack.” “We know, Mack, but Felan is certain this Shaba business will end soon.” “I hope she is right. Where is she and Keyne at anyways?” “Out for a run, since they both have their wolves it is hard to keep them inside. I also think Keyne has realized the Felan is his mate.” “Why is that?” “He is started to show some talents very similar to Felan’s.” “What kind of Talents?” Mack asked. “You remember the old barn we use to get drunk in, right after we first met?” “Yeah, down by beach. Didn’t it collapse after that one real bad storm?”
Josiah nods in agreement. “They always had Toby come to them, I would bet that the meetings always take place close to where they are staying.” “Let’s search using Toby’s place as a center point.” “I want to talk to Toby first and see if we need to search in a circle or narrow it down.” Josiah tells her. “You do that.”ASHUR… When Ashur came to he had no clue where he was. “Where am I?” He asked trying to sit up. “Just lay still, you are at the hospital.” Said a voice he didn’t recognize. “Hospital?” He repeated. “You were attacked, Patrol found you 4 hours ago. Just lay still I am going to grab the doc.” The voice said. “4 hours? Wait, the kids, where are Felan and Keyne?” He asked panicked and suddenly fully alert.&nb
Matilda woke up to the sound of scurrying. She sat straight up and asked Josie, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I am just late for my watch.” She says. “What time is it?” “Almost 3 in the morning.” “Mine starts in an hour. I might as well get up and make some coffee. What point you at?” “West, by the river.” Josie tells her. “I’ll being you a cup.” “That would be great. See you in a few.” Josie says heading out the door. Each trained warrior was taking a four-hour shift. With John’s pack and Adelaide’s there was enough so only each warrior had to pull one 4-hour shift in a day. They also are alternating times for each point. Every 2 hours shift change was happening. This was agreed upon to try and deceive any enemies lurking about. Matilda went to the bathroom and ran cold water over her face. She came out just as Josie was leaving she started the coffee pot and She thought about Mack and wished this would end soon. They all knew a battle was coming and were all feeling th
