“This is it,” he confirms.

“And we’re here,” a voice calls out from the shadows.

Two men materialize out of the night. One is stocky and shorter, with dark hair. He’s the younger of the two, so most likely Brad, Jenks’s half-brother.

The other man is tall and slender with long, unruly dark hair. His resemblance to Jenks is unmistakable. The high cheekbones, the strong jaw, the set of the eyes—this man is definitely his father.

“Hello, Jenks,” the older one says, smiling. “It’s good to meet you, finally. My name is Jerry. I’m your father.”

A shudder runs through Jenks, and I still can’t discern his feelings. He’s staring at the other two in complete shock, his eyes wide and his body frozen in place.

“You look just like me,” Jenks says, amazed.

Jerry chuckles. “You look like me, son.”

“But, how… why? When I was in Silverton, why didn’t you come to me then? It’s so clear that we are related. And the packs were at peace!”

“We don’t live in town,” Jerry explains. “Our cabin is far out in the mountains, and we only come in as needed for supplies. I don’t hang around in the bar and drink, so I only saw you from a distance. By the time either of us could muster up some courage, you were gone.”

Jenks narrows his eyes, shaking his head a little. Brad steps forward, a grin on his face that sends shock waves of terror running through my bones.

He looks like a fucking maniac!

“None of that is important right now,” Brad says, waving a hand. “The important thing is you brought the witch.”

What?

“Brought her right to us, practically served up on a silver platter,” Jerry growls, showing his teeth.

I take a slow step back, but Jenks puts a hand on my arm. I look up at him in wild terror. Surely this can’t be betrayal?

But when my eyes dart to him, he’s frozen with cold, unwavering purpose.

Chapter 24 - Jenks

The words hit me like arrows to the chest. I’m so shocked that for a moment, all I can do is stare down Brad and my father. Two wolves I so desperately wanted to know, and hoped I could trust.

Alisa looks up at me with wide, terrified eyes, but I’m still too frozen to move. I feel stupid as well as incompetent. I knew there were bad vibes from Brad, but instead of going home, I pushed on. I let my heart override my head.

Jerry takes a step forward, and so does Brad. They step out to either side as if they are getting ready to flank me. It’s painfully obvious to me in this moment that I have never been in a fight, and I have absolutely no idea how to combat their moves.

I can’t believe this. They were gunning for Alisa this whole time! They lured me here just to get to her!

Fury grows in me as I think about my last conversation with Brad. He played it cool, like he didn’t know I was connected to the witch in my backyard. I deliberately didn’t tell him, but he obviously knew.

They have been watching my house since the attack. I know it. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Alisa looks up at me, and I can barely turn my head to look at her. The emotions crashing through me are so powerful and chaotic, I’m frozen by the strain of trying to process them.

Jerry and Brad take another step outwards, Brad towards me and Jerry towards Alisa.

I have to stop them from flanking me!

“Wait!” I yell, stepping forward and shoving Alisa behind me. “What is this?”

I have to stall until I can figure something out! Why the hell did I come out here all alone?

“It should be pretty obvious,” Brad snickers.
