Once I returned to the cabin and Luna Elizabeth made sure security was tightened around Sirus, I didn’t hesitate with my next move.
I was already moving, taking the stairs two at a time, boots hitting hard enough to echo through the hallway.
Inside our room, I stripped fast, swapping out what I’d been wearing for what I needed. Jeans. Fitted tee. My worn boots. Leather jacket.
They wanted me scared, sloppy, and panicked.
Not a chance.
I stepped back into the hall and almost collided with River.
He caught my arm before I could move past him, his grip firm, his eyes already searching my face.
“Where the hell are you going, Laney?”
The growl in his voice rolled low.
I pulled my phone up between us, a fresh message still open.
Wait for instructions. Fall in line, Alpha, or people
