Chapter 343

• Deacon pulled up behind the other van as Jesse got out of it. There was another male with him that he didn’t know, but he was huge, and just looking at him, made Deacon think of a bear. He tossed the chewed toothpick out the window.
• Nox jumped out and slammed the door, then rushed over to Jesse.
• Taking a second, Deacon communicated with his animal, assuring him that their mate was fine, and they would find her. Turning his hat around backward, he got out and headed over to the other men.
