Chapter 42: Wanted

Jack

As Jack raised his hand to knock, Simon's door flew open. His friend glared. "Are you crazy coming here?" He hissed, yanked him in, and slammed the door shut.

"What's going on? Why did three silverbacks attack me today and say it was because of Tankham?"

Simon frowned. "You're supposed to be with the alpha."

Hmm. So his friend knew something. "Why? The moonstone swipe was going to be tomorrow night with the full moon."

Simon paced his sparse apartment, and Jack took a seat on the edge of the couch. The stained coffee table was propped up on one side by a stack of encyclopedias.

"The gorillas were there to escort you to Tankham."

Jack snorted. "Bullshit. I had a deal with Tankham. Less than a month later, and he sends goons who threaten to kill me."

"What?" Simon shuddered. "Oh no. Vlad must have found out what we planned and used the stone to hype all the wolves. I've been edgy all day."
