his job as the Leo on the Council also. He needed to know what was going on. All the Packs needed protecting from what was to come. He had felt over the last few months there was something they were missing. The Rogues were determined to stop them from forming and developing the Council. Of course, they wanted to use their power to take over the humans, but still it seemed like it was really personal the way they were going for each of their mates. He looked at Casey and frowned at the thought that she was going to be a target.
Devon looked out the window and saw the huge SUV’s that were waiting for them. There were six cars. One for the Alphas, one for Tey and Jo, plus Reggie who was going to ride with them.
And one for Sid, Casey and him, they were all accounted for and had a full protection detail in the car with them. The others were for the Enforcers, who were guarding them. It looked like the President was coming into town, but the Alphas were just as important to them. They were the rulers of the Werewolves, and their rules were laws.
Tey and Devon made sure everything was secure before the doors opened. One by one, Enforcers came into the plane to guard each of the members as they were taken to the cars.
Casey felt like giggling a little when she saw the amount of muscle that was in one small area. If the girls could see her now they would be shitting their pants.
Casey finally settled into the back seat of the SUV that awaited them. She was between Sid and Devon. Thank goodness, these SUV’s were large, because she did not think they would have fit in the back seat if they had not been. She actually felt a little dainty next to them. Once again, fighting the urge to giggle, she fastened her seat belt, put her hands on her lap, and waited.
Devon was talking on the phone. He must have felt her anticipation and nerves because he reached over and took one of her hands at the same time that Sid reached over and took her other.
She felt instantly at ease, knowing that they were moving into the future together. Casey saw the lead car pull away, and they were suddenly moving. She watched out the window marveling at the beautiful view that she would get to see every day. The mountains to the west and the vast city to the east, it was the perfect place to live, the best of both worlds. Devon had told them that the Pack headquarters was closer to the mountains. He said they often took weekend trips to the mountains to run and relax.
Casey sat back and wondered when she would get to go shopping. She wanted to replace her wardrobe. She had heard the downtown shopping in Denver was to die for, and could not wait to hit the streets. Devon and Sid told her they would take her as soon as they were settled. Of course, that had been their first argument. She said she had enough money in her account to buy herself clothes, but both of the men argued and told her they would be taking care of the tab. She protested and they quickly began to argue. The only thing she had enjoyed about the fight was the making up afterward. They had almost missed the ride to the airport because they had been in the bedroom. She may have lost that argument, but she was determined to contribute to the family finances.
“A few more blocks and we will be there.” Devon said and smiled down at her.
“Good.” She said and turned to look out the window again over Sid. They were stopped at a stop light, and she frowned when she noticed several people taking more interest in the cars than they should have. A tall, rather good-looking man, raised his arms, and yelled at the same time she heard the crack of some kind of gun being fired.
Devon yelled and Sid threw her to the floor, and the car was in motion. It did not make it very far when she felt the impact. They must have hit something big because the car stopped, and she could hear shouting all around her. It was chaos.
“Casey, Sid, we need to get out and run! We are going to head west, only a
