Chapter 46.5 – Gabriel POV

        Sitting at my desk I was researching the names from the book Philip Pascal had given us. Judy hadn’t approached us about bringing him back and Chelsea and I hadn’t decided what to do with him just yet. I looked up for a moment, glancing in Remy’s direction, noting that her eyebrows were pushed together, too easy, she thought puzzled.

        “What’d you find?”

        Startled she looked up, “I – I think I figured out what the Elders are searching for…” she said unsure.

        “Well?”

        “They want to be immortal,” she said looking up at me, but they don’t age? She said looking at whatever she found.

        “Because they aren’t immune to death,” like Chelsea Max added.

        When something felt ‘too easy’ in most cases I had learned that it really was just that, too easy, something placed just for misleading. If the Elders wanted immortality, that wasn’t all they wanted, there had to be more, or an end game, which is what I wanted to know. Sweetheart, I called Chelsea wanting her here for this conversation; can you come to my office please?

        Logan had ran trace on all the floppy disks bringing them back on a jump drive when it was all clear, his men following Robert Delaney, while he still went to work seeking information on why the human government confirmed the existence of were-shifters. Not only had he brought that to us, he brought what Ethan had been keeping, one last thing before leaving my father’s pack and home, joining Jay and Wolf with his mate Marjorie.

Gabriel, I’m going to get your brother I already have his mate, Logan informed me. Through Logan, Chelsea and I sat in my office watching as he approached Ethan. “Do you have her?” Ethan asked worried, his face, younger but still resembling my own was much too old for his age.

“I have her, but I want to know why you called me… why not Jay?”

Ethan glanced around him, “Here?” he pulled a jump drive from his pocket, Logan only looked at it not reaching for it.

“It’s a copy of the Elders computer from my house, it’s all encrypted though and I know that besides Gabriel, you’re the only other person that was good with computers. Gabriel trusted you, and I need to make sure that you keep my mate and I safe… she’s human…” I can’t lose her; I won’t let George make her some pawn or try to kill her, Ethan thought.

“All the files were encrypted, I don’t know what’s on there, but I knew how to copy the hard drive… in trade for this,” he closed his palm over the jump drive, “I want enough money to take care of my mate – untraceable, I – she isn’t safe around George, I – I thought that I had time, would be able to get money from my own account but I don’t know how he figured out about her,” Ethan shook his head furiously.
