We’ve been in the car for just under twenty hours, it would have been longer, but I speeded a lot and refused to stop. I want this done, so I can get back to searching for Anna. I glance at Rick in the passenger seat, “where are we meeting them?” I sound as tired as I feel.

“I’ve plugged into the GPS, it’s some wooded area on the border.” Rick is looking on his phone as he speaks to me. My GPS pings and the directions start telling me where to go.

“Nice and out of the way, doesn’t scream holiday to me.

“I can’t imagine an out–of–town Alpha is here for our splendid trees.” I let off a humph in agreement and we go back to silence. It’s not awkward, it’s the kind of silence that lets you just be. I’ve known Rick my whole life so companionable silence is alright with both of us.

As we pull into a mud road an hour later the sun is just going past the tree line. I spot Darryl and Lewis standing to the side next to an SUV just like ours, most packs stick with the standard black SUV’s if not on four paws. I pull up and get out of the car, after a good stretch I walk over to Darryl. Clasping Darryl’s hand and then Lewis I say “Did we beat Callum? I thought he would get here before us”

“Yeah, we thought so too but we haven’t been able to reach him. Our visitors are about three miles north of here, he has his warriors standing guard from about half a mile out.” Darryl responds.

“So, he doesn’t want any visitors then” Rick chuckles.

“I suggest for now we watch and see what he’s doing, I don’t want to create a multiple pack war if we can avoid it” I don’t like this, Darryl is right though, if this Alpha is just here for a holiday, we could create a war for all central American packs.

We have been keeping back and watching this Max guy for five days now. He hasn’t done much of interest, beside the fact that he treats his warriors like something he has stepped in. I’m sitting in the lounge of our cabin having what they pass for coffee here. Axel, Rick’s wolf comes padding into the lounge and he stops by the small two–seater sofa and seems to be looking around. He’s probably looking for the shorts I kicked under the sofa, I reach under and pop them on the coffee for him. Within a few blinks Rick is standing before me pulling his shirts on, Alphas can instantly change but lesser wolves take a bit longer. Axel can switch fairly quickly as Rick holds a lot of Alpha tendencies.
