“Tell Dominic to deal with him for now. Tell him to tell the prick he isn’t getting them back.”
“You want to start a war?”
“Why are you scared?” I mocked.
“Pfft yeah, pissing in my boots,” he sarcastically spat back.
Driving back to the Pack house, Wendy was waiting out front. Jumping out of the car while it was still moving, I walked over meeting her halfway.
“How did she get out of the room?” Wendy looked down, giving herself away instantly. “You let her out…. FUCK!”
“She had been in there all day, Alpha. I thought she might want to look around. I didn’t think she would run. I thought I locked all the doors.”
“Obviously, you thought wrong,” Pinching the bridge of my nose, I let out a breath “It’s fine Wendy, she couldn’t have got far on foot unless she was picked up along the road. We didn’t pass any cars so if she did get picked up, she must be in one of the outer towns. Closest is Larse, we will head there.”
Everyone waiting next to the cars got back in. Four cars went one way at the T section, my car and 4 others went the other direction heading towards the small town out of the city. We drove for about 20 minutes before we came to a derelict train station. Sending Zane to the ticket booth to see if she had been seen, I waited by the car.
“They got on a train about ten minutes ago, Boss. Heading out of the city.”
“Lead the way, we can cut the train off.” Getting in, I told my driver to get out of the driver’s seat, and he quickly slid into the passenger seat. Putting my foot down and leaving a cloud of dust behind us, we tore out of the train station to chase after the train. After about five minutes, we hit farmland. Driving up to the train tracks, we turned, driving alongside the tracks, when we saw the train up ahead. Putting my foot down, I overtook the train before driving up onto the tracks about a kilometre ahead of it to give it a chance to stop safely. The train driver instantly slowed before coming to a stop just before my car. An elderly gentleman with his grey beard and hair wearing overalls stepped off the train raising his hands in surrender. “I don’t want any trouble.”
“Settle down, we aren’t here to cause problems. I’m looking for a woman and child; they got on at Larse station.” I showed him a picture on my phone that I had Zane take when he was watching her at the diner.
He briefly looked at it before saying, “The middle carriage, son. You aren’t going to hurt them, are you?” He genuinely looked concerned for them.
“Of course not, why would I hurt a defenceless woman and child? You have been watching too many action movies, old-timer,” I replied. He looked relieved, nodding his head, he climbed back into the carriage.
Walking along the train, I made eye contact with Zane before pointing to the last carriage. He immediately obeyed. I knew she would run for the back one, so predictable. Pushing the sliding door open, I climbed into the train before opening the carriage door inside. Aria was protectively shielding Lily.
“Just grab her. If not, grab Lily. She will comply; she won’t risk her safety.”
“Yes, Boss.” Everyone replied before I cut the link.
I observed. Aria wasn’t really thinking she could get away, surely, she would know better.
“Lily close your eyes and put your hands over your ears,” Aria called out. Glancing over at Lily, she did what she was told no questions asked. Lily really is a great kid; Aria has raised her well considering. Looking back up, Aria had turned, so she had a view of both ends of the carriage. HMMM, she is really going to try, interesting.
“Our girl is a fighter. Let’s see what she can do,” Ryder says excitedly. “Should have brought some popcorn.” I muffle my laugh, but luckily no one was paying attention. Zane shoves Rick forward, but what happened next, I wasn’t expecting. Aria seized the opportunity and cracked him a good one with her knee before stomping on his nuts. I internally cringe as I watch her foot come down.
Next up is Zane, who I could hear laughing at Rick’s downfall. Aria was ready though, jumping out of reach. But she wasn’t expecting Mitch behind her. After she kicks Zane in his chest with both her feet, he trips groaning.
“Fuck, I feel like I just been kicked by a horse. What have you been feeding her?”
“My blood,” I laughed back at him. Hearing a terrifying growl, I look back up and notice a crazed gleam in her beautiful amber eyes. Hunger. Looking over at Mitch and seeing he is bleeding. Crap. Getting up, I shove him to the side, making him land on the seat. I grab her just as she lunges for him, but she is quick to swat my hand away, along with it my bloody skin. My own growl matches hers. Yanking her, she turns and lands against my chest but then goes limp catching me off guard and we start to fall to the ground. Only she is prepared and shoves me straight over the top of her. She isn’t as weak as she looks. Amused, I feel a smile creep onto my face. Just as I lunge at her, tackling her, she starts to fall, but I twist at the last minute, pulling her onto my chest.
