Chapter 20: Dangerous Game

Kane's POV:

Goddess, what have you given me as a mate?

When she stomped out of the dining room, visibly fuming, I couldn't help but wonder if I'd finally lost my sanity. Who in his right mind wouldn't keep his mate close, especially after yesterday's rogue attack deep within pack territory? The security here was obviously lacking, and leaving her in an unsafe place wasn't an option. But when the car arrived and she wouldn't come down, I had to do what an alpha does—I went to get her.

Of course, she'd made herself scarce. First thought? Maybe she'd locked herself in the bathroom. Nope. Closet? Still nothing. Then I noticed the open window and thought, no way. But apparently, my "mature, level-headed" mate had actually escaped through the window—or so I thought.
