Helanie:
"That’s him," I patted Lamar’s shoulder hastily, pointing at the bike that drove towards the woods.
"What is he doing?" I asked myself, wondering why he would turn into the woods. And I guess Lamar was thinking the same thing because he instantly spoke up.
"He wants us to follow him?" Lamar said, making my heart skip a beat.
So many questions popped into my head.
Why?
Why would he want us to follow him? Is there someone waiting for us in the woods? Did his mother tell him we were at the café, or did he see us himself?
"Well, then go ahead and follow him." I just wanted to get it over with tonight. He could be leading us somewhere dangerous for all I knew, but at the moment, I had to confront him, or we would lose him again.
"Are you sure?" Lamar spoke through the heavy wind and his helmet.
I pulled my hand forward and gave him a thumbs-up to respond. Then, I held onto him tightly as he sped into the woods.
I was very aware that we were taking a huge risk. Kaidon was a mess—he was dodging branches and speeding up until the woods started getting wilder. Suddenly, he parked his bike, dropped it, and started running forward.
"Stop, stop, stop!" I yelled, tapping Lamar’s shoulder many times to get my point across. He stopped his bike, and the two of us started following Kaidon through the bushes and trees.
For a brief moment, I’m sure we both reconsidered our plan.
Either Kaidon realized we were on the bike behind him and lost his mind, or he purposely led us here—to somewhere dangerous where others might be waiting.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? The others might be waiting for us deep in the woods," Lamar held my hand to stop me in my tracks. I looked at his face and sighed.
"I don’t think dying here is worth it."
I knew my wolf wasn’t fully awake, and Lamar wasn’t an Alpha either. Besides, taking down five Alphas wouldn’t be easy for us.
We both turned around in defeat, still curious about what this whole chase was about, until we heard someone come out behind us.
We both instantly turned, Lamar holding his knife up in defense as we watched Kaidon raise his hands to show he didn’t have any weapons.
Seeing him standing before me sent chills down my spine. I wanted to throw up. The way he was staring at me was making me lose my mind. What might he be thinking?
Is he like Rayden and thinking about that night?
"Oh, shit!" he muttered, stepping back. "You’re really real, huh?"
