It was a pitiful display to see him like that. He could never trust someone who would change sides so quickly. The wolf was clearly someone selfish, and only interested in saving his own skin.<br/><br/><strong>"Fuck..."</strong>he muttered under his breath as he read the text message. A million thoughts raced through his head. Would he be able to make it over to Melissa's in time to rescue her? Could he ask Blaine and Taryn to come along? Would they be enough? Who would even be behind the attack on her? Hell Hounds?<br/><br/>He still had debts he could call in. Would Melissa have a better chance at making it out unharmed if he could contact Samantha or Elias before he could get there? What sort of man would he be if he sent someone else to rescue her, while he stood around out here?<br/><br/>He texted her back,<em>Stay quiet and hidden. Remember what we've practiced. Help will be there soon.</em><br/><br/><strong>"There's trouble ."</strong>He whispered quietly in Blaine's ear.<strong>"There's some place I need to be. It's important."</strong>His voice was as grim and serious as ever. He didn't want to drag them into his problems, but from his tone, it's obvious that something is very wrong.
