"Hayes!" I call out, running toward him. "Where is he?"

He shifts back into his human form, looking past me to Penny as he waves to her to come to him.

"I have to get back to him. Where is Percy? I need both he and Penny." He rushes out. There is a frantic nature to the way he searches for the two of them, as he tries to be respectful of me while trying to get around me.

"Percy isn't well enough to go anywhere." I tell him, not really wanting to get into the details right now.

"Fuck." He growls both hands in his head as panic overwhelms him.

"I will go in his place," I offer and he shakes his head like it's the craziest thing he has ever heard in his life.

"No. You have to go back and-"

"And what? Cower and wait in the room and hope nothing terrible happens? No!" I growl, cutting him off. "I will absolutely NOT be doing that. There is no stopping me. You are taking my protection, besides I will only follow you if you try to leave me."

Hayes frowns and drags a hand down his face before he nods.

"I don't have time to argue," he grits out as Penny rushes toward him. "But I am begging you to stay, Luna. Please." he says, looking at me.

"Not a chance in hell." I tell him.

I know I am being difficult, but damn it, if the jerk controlling all these wolves wants me, they can have me as long as they don't hurt Merikh. Whoever this is, whatever they want to do with me, I know Merikh can figure out a way to fix it, but only if he is alive and safe.

"Colette..." Caspian's voice is wary as he looks at me and I push past Hayes, running in the direction he came from.

"This way, right?" I ask, breaking into a run and I hear them arguing behind me, then I hear them running. Penny and Hayes break into their Lycan form. I shift into my wolf and my father...well hopeful he left his sea legs in the mansion because he is going to have to keep up.
