“I agree.” Brielle took the hands of her glowering mates. “This isn’t about me; this is about my sister. Let me do this. You’re right here. I’ll be safe. Trust me.”
“Fine,” Valor muttered.
Ezra’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t put up a fight.
Brielle gave us one last smile, then made her way across the bar.
Chapter 25
Brielle
“Are your boys okay with you being here?”
The blonde female at the bar turned to me, her lipstick-covered lips set in a firm line.
In my mind, she was standing in the way of me seeing Blythe again. No matter what, I had to go through her.
Swallowing my desperation, I gave her a mocking smile. “As okay as they are with you staring at me. Is there a reason for that?”
I slipped onto the stool next to hers.
“Where are you from?” she asked, ignoring my question. “We don’t get many visitors around here.”
There was no reason to lie. “Hidden Creek. We’re just passing through.”
Her intelligent blue eyes narrowed. “I rarely see a unit willing to take their prize out of the den.”
Her smirk told me she was trying to rile me up. It wasn’t entirely unexpected.
“They’re not mine. I beat the Hunt and joined their pack for protection,” I said flippantly, knowing she wouldn’t be receptive if I told her they were my mates.
Her voice was flat as concrete. “Lucky girl.”
“I am. In more ways than one.” I leaned an elbow on the counter. “My name’s Brielle.” Her eyes flickered with recognition. “I think we both know why I’m here.”
She took a languid sip of her drink. “Why is that?”
“The same reason you were looking at me like you saw a ghost.”
“I’m not sure what you’re hunting for, honey.”
“The truth.” I curled my fingers into a fist to stop them from trembling. “I remember you from when I was little. You and a few males came for me and my sister. You tried to save us, but I was taken.”
Her face remained impassive.
“I came here to find my sister,” I said, voice cracking. “Please. Do you know where she is?”
She glanced behind me. “What will your friends do with her if I say yes?”
“Nothing.” I couldn’t hide my ferocity. “No one is going to hurt Blythe. I just want to see my sister again. What she does from there is her choice.”
Her eyes eviscerated me. They pulled back my layers and dissected my words. A muscle in her jaw twitched.
“I’m Andy,” she finally said.
Relief washed over me, nearly knocking me off my feet.
“Nice to meet you. So, do you think you can help me out?”
