“Percy should have remained at home,” Hayes whispers as Percy sleeps in the back.
“He has the right to search for his twin sister.” Leandra scoffs from beside the pale redhead, who is hugging the bucket like he may need it at any moment.
“Hell, I should have left you back home too.” he frowns, gazing in the rearview mirror. I look over my shoulder, catching a small smile on her lips as she looks out the window.
“It’s not my home and you don’t own me,” she says in a sing–song voice.
As much as Hayes didn’t want her coming along, I am glad he gave into her request. Or rather her telling him she would meet us in the SUV. Her banter has been the only thing keeping the stifling tension in my chest from snapping and making me go feral. Not that I can say the same for Hayes, but part of me thinks he is enjoying being challenged.
“She has a point, Hayes.” I say, “Percy has every right to be with us searching for Penny,”
He looks over his shoulder at Percy and sighs, removing a hand from the wheel as he drags it over his face,
“I don’t want him to witness what we will find.” He whispers to me.
My stomach churns, my chest aching at the thought of not only losing such a brilliant gamma, but what it will do to Percy. What it means regarding what happened to Colette. Penny was a top warrior and loyal. She would not go out without a fight, which means if she is indeed gone, then Colette is in some serious shit.
Lycans are damn near impossible to kill, and even some methods we can come back from. Not always, but occasionally, we have been known to be revived when once believed to be dead.
“Leandra,” I say, needing a distraction to keep myself from going fucking crazy and killing my way to my mate,
“Yes?” she asks.
“How long were you held in that mind prison?” I ask, moving in the front seat to look at her. Her blue eyes meet mine, hesitation in her demeanor before she sighs and presses her head back into the headrest with a shrug.
“Honestly?” she sighs. “I don’t really know.”
“How can you not know?” Hayes asks with a skeptic snort.
