  The sheriff heaved a sigh and shot me a dark look. Turning to the Ford driver, he said, "And you. What's your business?"

  "Same thing happened to my mate." This guy also made to come at me, but the deputies stepped in once again.

  "I didn't kill anyone," I said to Marie.

  "Well, whoever's doing the killing sure knows who you are," she muttered back. "And they want us to know they know."

  My wolf stirred, concerned. She urged me to run. It didn't sound like a bad idea. There was a lot of anger directed my way. If the Huntsville pack believed I was out murdering their pack mates, I would be torn limb from limb.

  Marie grabbed my elbow."Come on. Let's go. They don't need us here anymore, and we don't want to add to the trouble." She nodded to a deputy. "We'll be at my cabin if you need us."

  "Wait just a second," said the Sherriff. "You're not leaving here alone." He nodded to a tall, lanky deputy. "You go with them. Stay with Adele. Where she goes, you go."

  "But, Sheriff—" I started.

  He cut me off and stabbed a finger in my direction. "Until we know what's happening, you are to be accompanied by a deputy at all times. If you don't like it, I can put you in a cell."

  "A deputy is fine," Marie said shooting me a look that said, 'shut up or else.'

  "Marie! Adele!" A deep baritone shouted our names.

  I turned to see Jackson racing toward us, his eyes wild with what I took to be panic. When Cal stepped down, Jackson would be the pack alpha, and he usually conducted himself with a quiet authority. Just then, though, he waved us down like he was trying to fly, and his eyes were wide as a full moon.

  My heart sank. Oh no. Not Chloe. Please don't say she's dead. I chanted that over and over in my head. I'd come to know her because of her pregnancy. Marie and I visited her weekly checking in on her and the baby. It was a boy according to Marie, who said she could tell by Chloe's scent, and he was due any second.

  Please let the baby be okay. Please, please, please.
