Eyes on the Pride (Awakening Pride Book 8) by Lacey Thorn

Isaac to get his hands on. He would have fed her anger then offered her the perfect solution for revenge,” Darby said.
    “We’ll have to tell Miles about this,” Abby reasoned.
    “Once we know for sure, we will,” Tah emphasized.
    Darby nodded. “That makes sense. I’ll need to see the complete code you came across. See if I can place where Isaac sent her to. If this is her, she’s in trouble and needs help.”
    “We’ll need a hell of a lot more information before we put together any type of plan for a rescue. As it is, we have no idea what we’d be walking into. This could be a well-formulated attempt by hunters to do a little manipulating of their own, lure us out into the open,” Tah admonished.
    “That might be true except for one thing,” Darby corrected. “This message was never meant for you. This was sent to us, and we’d never risk the safety of any shifter.”
    “Who then?” Calloway questioned, and she knew by his tone that he thought she meant to go herself. She wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t trained for that.
    “It was sent to your father or someone he knows,” Abby mused aloud. “So one of the watchers was meant to get this person out.”
    “Yes,” Darby agreed. “I’ll need to follow protocol on this, reach out to the network we have in place and give them the information sent. They’ll know where to look and the danger involved in attempting an extraction.”
    “You have watchers who’ve infiltrated the hunters?” Abby sounded shocked at the idea.
    “We do,” Darby confirmed. “We figured out a long time ago that the best way to protect the shifters was to know the enemy. No better way than from the inside. Our people contact the network when they can, step in when an opportunity presents itself, and work on derailing anything they’re able to.”
    “Tell me about this network,” Tah commanded.
    She shrugged her shoulders. “I’m afraid I don’t know much beyond the fact it was set up long ago when watchers first tried to gain access to sects of hunters. It was a safety plan, a way for those inside to get in touch with watchers on the outside. My father would be able to tell you more. I’m afraid I don’t have the clearance to know more than what I’ve shared.”
    “But you know enough to get in touch with them?” Abby asked.
    “Yes.”
    “You do have a wealth of connections at your fingertips, Darby,” Tah admitted. “Much more than we realized.”
    “We can stop them,” Darby vowed. “Working together, we can put an end to the hunters once and for all.”
    “I hope you’re right,” Abby said, glancing up at her mate and child. Darby understood the mother’s desire for a better world for her daughter, one where people weren’t set on hunting Regan down simply because she was different.
    “I’m not sure if this is related or not, but it seems like too big of a coincidence to ignore,” Darby proclaimed. She pulled out her phone and called up the message from her father, putting it on speaker so they all heard it.
    I was hoping to speak with you before takeoff. My flight’s nine and a half hours with only one stop. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to call you then or not. I wanted to warn you. Calloway left sometime last night. I have no doubt he’s following you. Eyes open, my girl.
    Calloway squeezed her shoulder while Tah chuckled, but Darby ignored them as she waited for the rest of her father’s message to play.
    One more thing. I…had a phone call this morning. We’ve found something…someone. I’ll tell you more when we speak. She’s…unique…and in danger, serious danger. We’ve got to get her out before it’s too late.
    “Unique?” Abby asked.
    “I don’t know,” Darby said. “There’s nothing in this message about that.”
    “Whether this person is Miles’ daughter or not is beside the point,” Abby stressed. “They’re in danger, and there’s only one avenue open to us at the moment to get them help.”
    “I’ll make
