Chapter 34 : Send Me in Too

“Alright, we can track her down,” I said, nodding.

“Thank you,” she said back stiffly. Her teeth clenched behind her lips.

Her eyes darted to Thomas several times. As much as I wanted to keep Thomas at my side, Mila didn’t seem like she trusted him. Not the way that she had come to trust and accept Payne’s presence.

“Payne, come with us,” I said, indicating Mila and myself. “Thomas, stay here and make sure the rest of the group is safe until we get back, got it?”

“Sure, got it.” Thomas nodded.

“Where should we look?” I asked, heading into the hall.

“I figured we could start at the temple,” Mila suggested.

“Alright,” I agreed.

‘Who is this young beauty?’ Thomas mindlinked me as I shut the door.

‘Trouble,’ I growled mentally.

Thomas chuckled as the door slammed closed behind me. I shook my head and motioned down the hall.

Payne walked close behind us, alert to any dangers. Miltern was still crawling with bounty hunters that wanted Mila. We were stealthier in a small group but also more vulnerable. Especially since Mila wasn’t fully healed from the poison and I didn’t know her fighting capabilities.

“This pack has suffered a lot,” Mila said as we walked through the eerie, sense-numbing fog.

“More than either of us knows,” I agreed, nodding.

With what Thomas told me about Helen, I had a feeling there was a lot more this pack had suffered than just the curse and the fog.

“I want to help them, really, I do,” Mila told me with a firm nod.

I gave a half smile. She had a good heart and that was admirable.

“Then we will help them, whatever it takes,” I assured her.

She smiled and glanced at me, her eyes wide and bright.

I stopped dead, my heart thudding against my chest. Her look of gratitude stopped me in my tracks, literally. I flashed back to Thomas’s comments on finding a mate.

Growling under my breath, I shook my head and kept walking. Fortunately, Mila didn’t seem to notice my momentary lapse.

“I wish I knew how to help but I’m completely lost. Hopefully, April will give me more information or more guidance. She seems to know about magic,” she continued.

“Mila…” I sighed and stopped walking again.

Mila turned to face me, the hope in her eyes slowly fading.

I wanted to tell her what Thomas had told me about Helen and Norwind pack. I wanted to tell her about the artifact, even if it was all rumors. That was part of our deal, wasn’t it? We were supposed to share information.

I held my tongue and shook my head.

“Nevermind. You’re doing the right thing,” I said.

The hope flickered in her eyes like a light turning on. She nodded and continued toward the temple.
