Chase.”
Immediately, sirens could be heard throughout the compound. Slade ripped his shirt off over his head as he growled, “The bastard is in the abandoned buildings across the street somewhere. I’m not sure which one. I’m going to shift and go hunting.” Slade disconnected the call, not waiting for a response. Tossing the phone to a stunned Zane, he ordered, “Contact the other enforcers and tell them to make sure everyone stays inside. Do not move from this building, Zane. Do you understand me?”
When Zane nodded and started to dial the phone, Slade dropped to all fours and called to his wolf. Within moments a large, dark grey, powerful beast stood where he had just been. Resisting the urge to throw back his head and howl a challenge to whoever had tried to take his head off, Slade ran across the gym and slipped out a door in the back made specifically for the pack in their wolf form.
Sticking to the side of the building, Slade used whatever cover he could find, making his way to the front gate. One of his enforcers opened it from where they were hidden in the guard shack, and he slipped through it quickly. Now he would be on his own crossing the road to the abandoned buildings on the other side. There was no coverage, and he would be an open target. He’s gone. Slade stopped in his tracks when he heard Gypsy’s voice whisper in his mind. He left right after the sirens went off. He’s angry because you moved and he missed you.
Gypsy? Was it really her? Was she really communicating with him, or was he just imagining it? He hadn’t seen her since he left her in her hospital room two nights ago. Jade told him Gypsy needed time and space to think things through, so he had left her alone, even though it had been torture to stay away.
He wants to kill you, Slade. He wants to kill you because of me. His wolf growled at the fear in her voice. Whoever wanted him dead had put it there, and he would pay.
Why? Moving swiftly forward, Slade crossed the road to the buildings beyond. They had been on the land years ago when the pack bought it, and they used them for training rookie enforcers now. Slipping inside one of them, he stopped and raised his head, breathing in deeply, hoping to catch his enemies scent.
He thinks I’m his, and you stole me from him. He wants me back.
Slade paused. Who is he, Gypsy?
I don’t know, she whispered raggedly. Why can’t I remember, Slade? I remember everything else. I should know who he is. I know I should.
Slade moved quickly through the building, clearing each room as he went. Gypsy stayed a presence in the back of his mind throughout his search. He could feel her there, lending him her strength and support, as he moved from building to building. There were a total of four vacant buildings across from the compound, and he found what he was looking for in the third one. The man had been on the second floor in the corner of the room. Slade breathed in deeply, inhaling the male’s scent, making sure it was one he would never forget. It was all the bastard had left behind, but it was enough, for now.

T hey would be coming for her soon, Gypsy knew. She had slipped out of Slade’s mind just twenty minutes before, when he was on his way back to check in with the alpha, but before leaving she had read his intent to come straight to her after their meeting. They would have questions, but as hard as she tried to remember where she knew the man from, she couldn’t. She had no answers. She knew she needed them if she was going to survive. She needed them to keep her mate safe. However, even though she remembered so many other things in her life, when it came to the man who was terrorizing the compound, she was a blank slate. One thing she did know for certain, though, was that she was not staying in this hospital any longer. She’d had a lot of time to think over the
