CHAPTER 80
I stood there looking between Bronson and Wesley. Wesley was pissed that Bronson was here,
but Bronson was happy that the secret was finally out.
“You have no right being here.” Wesley said.
“He has a contract.” I said.
“What?” Wesley yelled.
“Who are you here for? Who hired you?” I asked.
“I can’t tell you who hired me. But I am here for you.” Bronson said.
“But you wanted me to know who you were before you took me?” I asked.
“Yeah. I thought dad should see what he’s done.” Bronson said. And now I started chuckling. Bronson looked at me strangely and I broke out into a pretty heavy laughter to the point where I was trying to catch my breath.
“Well, you should have done your homework. That son of a b***h tried to kill me recently. That’s why I kidnapped his mate and stepdaughter. And I’ve kept them away from him. So he will do as he’s told otherwise I’m going to kill them.” I said, trying to get it out between breaths.
“I guess it’s not just because I’m a freak that you don’t want me. You’re just an asshole of a father.” Bronson said.
“Oh. You definitely got that right.” I said.
“Well, that doesn’t change anything. I still have to take you in.” Bronson said.
“Not until you tell me who the f**k hired you.” I said.
“I told you that I can’t.”
So I turned to look at the triplets. They were all warning me in my head not to do anything stupid. But I didn’t know who hired him to get me.
“Just tell me this. Do they want to kill me?” I asked.
“I don’t think so.” Bronson said.
“They wouldn’t tell you. Would they?” I asked.
“Don’t you f*****g dare do anything stupid Nova.” Koda yelled in my head.
“Relax. I’ll be alright. I need to know who hired him. I need to know who wants me.”

“It’s Ava. It has to be.”
“It goes against her whole plan. This is someone else. Just relax. I’ll be fine.” I said.
They all started screaming at me in my head, but I blocked them out and I looked at Bronson.
“If I go with you, will you leave this pack and not hurt anyone else?” I asked.
“Of course. You’re all I want.” He said. So I looked back at the triplets and then at Wesley.
“Alright. I’ll go with you.” I said.
The triplets started fighting against their restraints but I told them not to give in to Wesley. Don’t give him Camila or Rory.
I then contacted Jacob and told him where the triplets were because I didn’t trust Wesley to
untie them.
Jacob was really confused but Bronson started walking and I looked back at the triplets.
“I’m sorry. But I have to find out who. And don’t follow me. I love you.” I said.
I started walking behind Bronson and he ran at the speed of a vampire which is why he was never found before. He was never seen and got the nickname The Shadow. Because he was in and out in seconds and still managed to do that much damage to a person that we saw on
Lexie’s mother.
I had no problem keeping up with him and we managed to get a couple hours away from the pack before we stopped running.
I knew the wolves wouldn’t be able to catch up to us now.
“How old are you?” I asked.
“I’m 25. And you?” He asked.
“You know how old I am.”
“Yes. 18.”
“In a few days.” I said.
“Oh right. I’m sorry you won’t be with your mates when you turn 18.” He said.
“Who says that I won’t be?” I asked. And he started chuckling again.
“You really think I take on suicide missions?” He asked.
“We’re about to see.” I said.
We walked in silence for much of the way, but I heard Bronson mumbling to himself a lot. And
2/5
CHAPTER 80
he would glance over at me, before he would put his head down again with his hood up mumbling again.
“Do you plan to let me in on this conversation?” Lasked.
“Why you?”
“Why do you keep asking that?” I asked.
“Why did you come out like that but I came out like this?” He asked.
“I don’t know.” I said.
“You’ve got it so perfect. And my mother abandoned me when I was born.” He said.
“My mother wasn’t perfect. I wish she had abandoned me. It’s better than being beaten my
whole life.”
“Why would she do that to you?” He spat at me.
“Because she was in love with Wesley and he left while she was pregnant. She blamed me for
that.” I said.
“And now you’ve got three men that are willing to die for you.” He said.
“That’s how the werewolf mate bond works.” I said.
“I’m never going to get that privilege.”
“Why do you kill people the way you do?” I asked.
“They deserve it.”
I stopped walking when he said that and stared at it. It caused him to turn and look at me.
He thought I had taken off at first and was ready to run after me. But he saw me standing there just staring at him.
“No one deserves to die the way you kill them. You can be angry at your mother. You can be angry at Wesley. Even at me, if you like. But those people never deserved what you did.” I said. “You said that Wesley abandoned you. He’s here now with you.” Bronson said.
“Yeah. He tried to hand me over to the supernatural council. They were going to destroy me because they believed that I am too dangerous.”
“Why didn’t they keep you?” He asked.
“Because I was a step ahead. And now they’re all locked in cages under my control.”
He looked me up and down and nodded his head.

CHAPTER 80
“You’re not as weak as I thought you were.” He said.
“No. You really should have done your homework on me.” I said as I started walking again.
“It doesn’t change anything. You’re still the wanted child. Not us.” He said.
“What do you mean ‘us‘?” I asked.
“It doesn’t matter. Not anymore.” He said.
I kept trying to get more information out of him, but it seemed like he retreated into his own little world.
He kept an eye on me but he was mumbling to himself. Having a conversation with someone that wasn’t that. It could possibly have been a wolf in his head. I wasn’t sure.
But as long as I was still with him, that’s the only interaction he wanted to have with me. He didn’t want to talk to me or hear about my life with Evelyn or my relationship with Wesley. I’m not saying that my life was easier than his, because I know that it wouldn’t have been. But he has to understand that people like us aren’t exactly accepted in the supernatural world, let alone the human world.
He had us walking faster than normal and we got to the border of Canada by nightfall. The fastest I had ever gotten to the border. And that was where I saw people waiting.
“Thank you.” A man said to Bronson, but he didn’t look up at them. All they saw was his hood.
“The werewolf council.” I said.
“Hello Nova. It’s nice to finally meet you.” The leader said.
“Kiss my ass.” I said. And he laughed.
“Wow. I heard you had fire.” He said.
“I’m sure whoever told you that meant it literally.” I glared at him.
Another one of them handed Bronson a check and he started walking away.
“Bronson.” I said. And he turned to look at me, but he still kept his head down.
“It was really nice having a brother. Even if it was just for a day.” I said.
“I’ll always be your brother. No matter what they do to you.” He said.
“No. We won’t be.” I said. And he looked at me strangely as I pulled my gun out from under my
jacket and I shot him in the chest.
The shotgun bullet had so much force that it knocked him off his feet and he flew back about

CHAPTER 80
10 feet before he landed on the ground and the bullet was sparking and smoldering in his
chest. He didn’t get up again after that.
