Chapter 83

• “You can untie her, Doc. She can eat, but she stays confined here until we decide what we should do with her. I still want a name and pack. I need to know what kind of threat she, or they, pose. I’ll be back soon. I need to contact Alpha Santo and get directions concerning our intruder. He’ll want to be informed.”
• My heart stops beating in my chest, and I have to stop myself from gasping out loud at the words that come out of his mouth. My insides self-combust and the blood freezes in my veins as my mind comes to a complete standstill on those two little terrifying words.
• Alpha Santo! Juan? There is no other Santo pack in these parts, and his resemblance isn’t coincidental. Why Colton kept coming to mind is now glaringly obvious. This is Juan’s facility, which can only mean one thing. Deacon is a Santo; it explains the asshole’s lousy attitude and shitty behavior. And possibly, Sierra is not an invading dream because of Colton telling me about her before I left him. She’s been calling me somehow, from these four walls, and led me right to her. There’s no other explanation for how this all ties up like this. The Fates wouldn’t just let this casually happen.
