believed my father was close to a discovery that might have cured anyone bitten. He had my father killed.” Tears fell down her cheeks.
    “How do you know someone connected to Pierce killed your father?”
    “It wasn’t a connection, it was Pierce. Damn it! He made Bobby drive the car that ran my father off the road, and I was on the phone when it happened. It was just like the night Pierce killed Bobby. Pierce always wanted me to know, every damn time he had me on the phone.” Talking about Bobby reminded her of the night he was murdered. “Our marriage was over long before that night, but to hear Bobby trade my life for his confirmed the end. The night before Pierce killed Bobby, I reviewed my father’s notes from the tests he ran on his assistant. Bobby told Pierce what I read, making Pierce’s desire to find me even stronger.”
    Adam removed his hand from hers and pulled her against him. “I’ll protect you, I promise.”
    “You said I don’t know what Pierce is capable of. I do, he killed two people I cared about. I don’t want to be another notch on his belt.” Leaning into his embrace, she rested her head on his chest.
    “We’re closing in on him. We just have to find his location.” His hand slid down her arm.
    “He’s mainly in Boston. He also has a place in Virginia where he goes often. Bobby met Pierce on one of his trips to Boston. His company had a branch in Boston and he did a lot of work out of Virginia as well.”
    He lifted her chin with his finger, titling her head so he could gaze into her eyes. “Do you know the address?”
    Nodding, her eyes reflected fear again. “I have Bobby’s calendar. He kept notes on everything. But you can’t go. Pierce will kill you.” Her fingers dug into his shirt, balling it into fists and scratching his skin. “Please, I don’t want to be alone again. Don’t go!”
    “Shhh, love. Nothing’s going to happen to me.” He hugged her tight. “I need his calendar, and your father’s notes. Doc might be able to decipher them.”

    An hour later, Adam stood next to Robin in the conference room. Her fear nearly made the air unbreathable. Being surrounded by the Elders and their guards was more than she could handle, so thankfully the Elders understood she wouldn’t be able to tell them what they needed to know if fear controlled her. With that in mind, only Ty, Tabitha, Raja, Bethany, and Felix were present in the room.
    “Robin, Doc is going through your father’s notes now, and Connor is searching the addresses in Bobby’s book. Did Bobby ever mention anything particular about any of the places? Maybe Pierce’s favorite stops on his travels, something that might narrow the search down?” Ty sat next to his mate, watching Robin. To Ty’s credit he tried to sound less intimidating, but as the Alpha, it was nearly impossible for him to sound less authoritative than what he was.
    Adam sensed ripples of fear running through Robin. Even with his arms around her it wasn’t enough to get her past the panic that hung in the balance He kissed her temple and nuzzled his body against hers. “It’s okay, Love.”
    “Adam’s right, there’s nothing to fear. We mean you no harm, Robin. Our goal is to take Pierce and his gang of rogues down. His demise will keep you, our mates, and our clan safe. Once we learn more, you and Adam can go back to his cabin. We’ll do our best to give you the time you need to adjust to your mate, and this whole situation.” Ty leaned forward, placing his hand on the table. Tabitha then laid her hand over his.
    Robin shook her head. “I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt. If I tell you where Pierce might be, someone else could be killed.”
    “Shapeshifters are a little more resistant than weres that were bitten like Pierce,” Tabitha said. “I don’t want anyone to get hurt, especially from my clan, but if we don’t stop him he will kill again. We have to remove Pierce and his gang before more innocent
