“Easy there boys,” he said as he held up his hands. “I’m not here to cause any trouble. I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. You’re looking for a hybrid woman?”
Austin and I glanced at each other, did he really not know or was he just playing dumb to hear what we had to say?
“If that’s the case, I’m guessing my father is still trying to find a woman to have my brother’s baby.”
“How do you not know that he hired us to find her?” I demanded suspiciously. I still didn’t trust him.
“I told you my father threw me out, didn’t I?”
He did. But none of us believed that.
His eyes studied me closely. “You seem on edge. Where’s Eden?”
My entire body tensed at his question. for one, I didn’t want a reminder that Eden wasn’t here with me. Then there was also the fact that I hated the way he said her name.
“It’s the reason why we’re working with your father. Eden is tied to the council and because of it she’s being forced to marry Hunter. We need your father’s help to take both the council and Hunter down.” Lucas answered as he gained an angry look from me.
I didn’t want Archer knowing all of this.
“I’m sorry, are you trying to tell me that the council is forcing that innocent girl to marry such a beast?” He demanded. I didn’t like how worked up he got about this. “I know where you can find the hybrid woman you’re looking for.”
I narrowed my eyes. “You do?”
He nodded. “My father asked the same thing of me. I purposely kept her location hidden because I didn’t want to do it to the poor girl; she looked like her life was already hard enough. Plus, I didn’t want to put my brother through that either. He doesn’t know that father is searching for a woman to have his baby. I tried to hold everything off for as long as I could, I knew it was only a matter of time before he sent other people to do the job instead.”
“So where exactly can we find her?” Lucas asked.
“She’s deep in the woods. not as far in as my home is located though.”
“Looks like you were right Lucas.” Austin praised him.
“Tell us all we need to know.” I insisted, suddenly impatient. “We don’t have plenty time left.”
“Her name is Gabriella Sawyer.”
Gabriella Sawyer.
“What do we know about her?” Austin asked, taking a step closer to Archer.
“Well she doesn’t have a pack like father wanted. I have no idea who are her parents but she definitely is a hybrid.” He said. “She’s always in the woods, barely steps into any area that’s too crowded. She’s strong… But she’s also a thief.”
I quirked a brow. “A thief?”
I wasn’t expecting that.
“Ever heard of Robin Hood?” he asked. “She’s a modern day Robin Hood. She steals from the rich and gives to other werewolves without a pack.”
“Well I have to say, it’s not what Gideon will be expecting.” Lucas said with a grin. “But she does fit his criteria well and she’s the only one we got.”
Austin nodded. “She’s the only one we have. Do you have any papers as proof of her existence? Even a picture maybe?”
“It isn’t that easy. If you want my father’s help, you’ll need all the proof you can gather. You’ll need to carry a video to prove that you did find the girl.”
“What are you suggesting we do?”
“I’ll take you to her. You’ll have to walk with plenty of cash. That way we would lure her out. Remember, we’re not doing the kidnapping. All we need is a video proof. When father sees how well she fights as well as the fangs in her mouth, he will surely accept her … Which is what you need for him to help you. He never goes back on his word so you don’t have that to worry about.”
I turned to my brothers and they both nodded for me to agree. It wasn’t like we had a lot of options left.
“Alright, lead the way Blackner.”
We followed his directions, he was definitely right, wherever we were going; it was deep in the forest.
“We have to be careful from here onwards.” Archer informed us. “She could be anywhere.”
We decided that Lucas and I would go alone when we neared the area she did most of her stealing in.
She would find it safer to attack just the both of us rather than all four.
I kept the tiny camera hidden in my shirt with a small hole for everything to be seen.
“You sure he’s telling the truth?” Lucas asked as we continued to walk further into the woods. The pungent scent of the forest filled my nostrils, preventing me from picking up the scent of anyone strange around us.
I was thinking the same thing as Lucas however. What if this was all an ambush and we were falling straight into a Blackner’s trap?
“I don’t know but this is the best lead we have.”
