Chapter 233

James jumps into the SUV at the last second and then I tear down the mountain at breakneck speeds.

I’m in this huge rush to get home-back to the Rathborn mansion-but I don’t even know what I’m going

to do when I get there.

I don’t have the first clue about finding a missing child, especially my own child whom I didn’t even

know was even alive until less than an hour ago.

I feel like I’ve been strung on a live wire.

Like my whole body is being electrified and I need to do something.

Anything.

I’ve never felt this kind of panicked desperation before and the worst thing is I have absolutely no clue

how to find my son.

“For the record,” James finally says as we’re turning into the gates of the mansion. “I didn’t know either.

I guessed a while back, and maybe I should have said something to you. But I wasn’t sure, and it

would’ve been worse to get your hopes up if it hadn’t been true that Ethan was still alive.”

“Do you agree with what he did?” I ask in a bitterly vicious voice.

“Honestly? I don’t know,” James replies with a shrug “Yes, keeping the truth from you was the absolute

worst thing he could have done. Would I have done the same thing if I was in his place? Maybe Do I

get it? Part of me kind of does.”

That’s the problem,” I mutter angrily. “I kind of get why he did it as well. But I’m still so angry, I want to

find whoever did this and run them down in this car.”

James gives a quick laugh as we park in the circular driveway. “Understandable.”

We climb out and James follows me inside, all the way to the office where I start pacing.

“I just need my brain to calm down long enough to work out what to do,” I tell James as I start pacing.

“It’s like I’m so excited that Ethan is alive and desperate to meet him, even as I’m absolutely terrified

that something will happen before I can get to him-”

James catches my shoulders, stopping me from pacing and grounding me a little.

“Don’t think the worst, not now. It doesn’t help anything. Let’s go over what we know and start there.”

“Aaron said he thought Tobin might have been behind it,” I replied. “So that’s where we should start.

Work out where Tobin might hide a child.”

I hurry to the desk and grab a pen and pad of paper.

I begin listing all the possible places I know Tobin has been.

His pack lands, the Council chambers, and that bar where he asked me to meet him.

James adds a few suggestions, and then I rank them from likely to least likely, even though I’m not sure

what Tobin might have been thinking when he made these plans.

For all I know, something I might think is crazy could have seemed totally logical to Tobin.

I think his pack lands are too obvious a place to take Ethan, except then I realize putting a baby with a

family is the easiest way to hide

him

“This is impossible!” I tell James after we’ve been at it for an hour. “We’re getting nowhere and we’re

wasting time.”

“We’re not wasting time,” James says calmly. “We can search all these places if need be, but we will

find him, Leah, one way or another.”

I wish I had half as much confidence as James, but I can’t shake the almost crippling worry about

what’s happening to my son right now in the hands of people who want to hurt Aaron, if not all of us.

Trotrud, 1 bok at our notes once again, trying to find a new angle

There’s a knock at the front door of the mansion, causing James and Ito both look up at each other

You stay here and keep working. James says firmly Tll go and deal with whoever it is

I thank James and he disappears while I turn my attention back to the notes we’ve made.

However, it’s only a few minutes later when James returns.

“What is it?” I ask, thinking the last thing I need right now is some kind of complaint or issue with the

pack that needs my attention

right now

I just don’t have the capacity to deal with it right now.

“Something you’ll want to deal with yourself,” he replies, which doesn’t tell me anything

“Something like what?” I demand impatiently.

“Karolina is here.”
