a second. The rest happened in fast forward. Josef and the others charged forward in a chorus of barks and howls.

Chapter Fourteen

Josef followed Devon up the back lot of the property. It was thick with trees and wild growth of shrubbery. He could see the glow in the distance of where the house sat. The closer they got, Josef expected to see wolves patrolling the area, but there weren’t any. Josef had to assume this alpha was overconfident, which was crazy. From the actions this alpha had taken, one would think he would be preparing for an attack, but the fact that he wasn’t was a good thing for Josef and his pack. They’d be able to take the other men by surprise.

They shifted into their wolf form as soon as Cole took off toward the house. He followed close behind Devon and kept his ears open for even the slightest of sounds. Letting his mate go off on his own took all the control he had. The danger of the situation screamed not to let Cole go, but they had to see what they were up against with this alpha, Drake.

Devon shifted back to human and waved his hands over his head. Josef looked toward his friend, and Devon pointed toward the gap in the trees. He held up three fingers, signaled for Josef and the others to stay put, then shifted again and took off toward the other side of the property with Viktor.

Josef edged closer, but still keeping a good amount of distance between him and the house. He couldn’t allow for the other wolves to catch his scent. He settled down into a spot and watched as his mate walked up toward the house. The look on Cole’s face disguised the turmoil Josef knew was eating at the man.

The front door slammed shut, and Josef tore his eyes away from Cole. Drake came walking out of the house with a cocky swagger like he didn’t have a fucking fear in the world. Well, Josef would soon show the man that his confidence wasn’t a good thing.

The sound of grass crunching under foot drew Josef’s attention away from the display in the front yard. Devon had come back, and he shifted to human form once he was within distance.

“I only counted eight wolves on the outside of the house. Not sure how many are in the house, but we’re going to have to take the chance and hope that there aren’t any.” Josef looked back to the house then back to him. “If we can take out Drake, the other wolves will come to heel. We just need to get to the man first.”

Josef nodded his head but didn’t make a sound. The plan they came up with was dangerous, but this had to be dealt with. Drake attacking their pack next was a very real possibility.

He heard Cole shout, and Josef snapped to attention. Drake had his mate’s arms pinned behind his back. Another door slammed, and he watched as Cole’s dad was being dragged out of the house. Once the man lay at the alpha’s feet, the man kicked Cole’s father. Cole cried out, but then his cries were drowned out when Drake kissed him. Josef’s lips curled back into a snarl, and Devon gave one sharp yelp, and they all took off.

When they came into view, Drake pushed Cole to the ground and shifted. A brown-and-black-colored wolf stood where the man once had. Josef didn’t stop until he tackled the other wolf square in the chest.

Drake snarled and used his legs to propel Josef off of him. Before Josef could stand up, Drake was all over him. The sharp sting of teeth in his neck caused him to howl out in pain. The alpha shook his head with Josef still clamped between his jaws. He clawed and pushed, trying to dislodge the man from his neck, but it was useless. The warm trickle of blood matted down his fur, and he snapped his teeth together trying to catch any part of the other wolf.

Just as the fight started to seep out his body, Drake let go. Josef fell to the side and watched as Cole grappled with the other wolf. He tried to move. He had to protect his mate, but his body wouldn’t cooperate.

Josef laid on the ground in a pool of his own blood helpless as his mate fought the alpha.

When the wolves attacked, Cole fell to his father’s side. The man’s eyes were swollen, but he was able to crack open the left one just a bit. A small smile started to work its way across his face, and his lips cracked open, and blood dripped from the gash.

“Cole.” His father’s voice was barely above a whisper. “Father, we’re going to get you out of here,” Cole promised. His dad and he may have had their differences, but what Drake had done to him was cruel and uncalled for.

“Thank you, Son, for coming for me.” His father started to cough again, and Cole cradled his father’s head in his lap.

“You’re my father, of course I’d come for you.” Cole brushed the blood-matted hair from his face. “Josh and Jake are here, too. They saw Drake and his men drag you off, but they were too far away to react in time,” Cole confessed in a rush.

“It’s okay, Cole. They fooled me, too. I guess all my pack members weren’t as loyal as I thought.” His father tried to laugh, but all that came out were wheezing coughs.

Cole opened his mouth to comment on what his father had said when a howl ripped through the night. The sound so very familiar to him. Cole turned around to see Josef being shaken from side to side by Drake. Drake had a hard grip on Josef’s neck with his large canines. The alpha was trying to wrench the life from
