He was a little concerned about leaving her, especially with Macy still being a problem, but he would fix that.
Before they left, Agatha had also taken care of his hair. She had taken off the length. She had experimented with him, allowing him to hold a mirror as she took his hair to neck length. He didn’t like it, so she shortened it more until he was happy.
Alpha held his hand up, letting them know they were coming to their first stopping point. They slowed, coming to a hidden entrance, and they rode through it. They were surrounded by a thicket of trees and bushes. The air was so clear and fresh.
Alpha suddenly came to a stop, leaving them all no choice but to turn off their ignitions and park their bikes. They weren’t exactly hidden, but they were safe. Not many people would venture through such a small path. There was no way to fit a car around it.
“This is it?” Rocco asked.
“There are no tracks, this is where we can store our bikes,” Alpha said.
“Dude, I don’t like this,” Enzo said.
Boyan rolled his eyes. He knew the brother was pissed because he couldn’t bring his knitting. The brother was always pissed when he couldn’t bring it.
“We’re not here to like it and maybe that’s the point,” Gunnar said. “No one is supposed to like it, which is why it’s the perfect meeting spot.”
Boyan glanced around him, staring at the forest.
“Do you know which direction we need to go?” He wanted to get this over and done with.
“This way,” Alpha said, pointing straight in front of him.
“I could have totally fucking knitted,” Enzo said, shaking his head.
Draco laughed, as did Rocco and Gunnar.
“You guys can laugh, but if I do something to seriously fuck this up, then it’s on you.”
“You’re not knitting. It’s as simple as that,” Alpha said.
Enzo continued to grumble.
Boyan wanted to focus on the mission. He needed to save Agatha.
They walked for close to thirty minutes when they all came to a sudden stop. Boyan smelled it—wolves—and certainly not pack.
“They’re close,” Gunnar said.
They all agreed, and this time their movements were even more cautious than before. Boyan was ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
He didn’t want to offend the other pack, but it was rare for two different packs to get along. It was why there was always a distance between them. Packs always had different alphas, and men of power didn’t always enjoy sharing it.
Boyan knew the Poison Wolves MC defied that very notion as they were a group of men who could all be alphas. That was why they worked together as a team. They knew they were a lot stronger together than apart.
Up ahead, he saw them. One woman stood there with a male close at her back. There were several men, more than they had, but Boyan didn’t care. Numbers didn’t mean victory. They passed through a thicket of bushes, and then came to a stop. There was a short distance between them. Alpha took the lead as always.
“Elizabeth Cole?” Alpha asked.
She nodded her head and he watched as she glanced at the man by her side, who had a grip on her arm.
“It’s okay,” she said.
The alpha gritted his teeth but wouldn’t let her go. Elizabeth slid his hand down, and then locked their fingers together, as they approached. There was still a short distance between them.
“I am Elizabeth Cole, and I believe you have questions regarding Dr. Milton.” The alpha at her side growled. It wasn’t a nice one, and Boyan went on high alert.
“Yes, over a year ago, we had an encounter with him. He tried to kill a member of my pack. It would seem he injected himself with wolf blood,” Alpha said.
Elizabeth shook her head and growled. “Stupid, fucking idiot.”
“That’s not all,” Boyan said. “We know he infected other humans.”
“They didn’t make it,” Draco said. “They’ve stumbled onto our land and have not been able to withstand the transition. They have all died.”
“And it’s not pretty,” Enzo said.
Elizabeth ran fingers through her hair and continued to shake her head in agitation.
“We also have a human female,” Boyan said. “Her name is Agatha Preston. Milton had a file on her. She was born to a wolf male and human woman.”
There was another growl from the alpha beside her. He had yet to speak, but Boyan sensed the anger.
“You worked for him,” Alpha said. “And we need answers. We need to know how to stop these humans from dying, and we also need to know what is going to happen to our human, who does have wolf traits but cannot turn at request.”
Elizabeth sighed. “I didn’t work for Milton. I worked with Milton, a long time ago. You see, I, like Agatha, had a wolf parent and a human parent. As did … Milton.”
