Bound To Moonlight (Sisters Of The Moon #2)

Tasha jumped to her feet. “What?” She spun around to face Sebastian. “Did you know?”


“Not the sister bit. Anya is the assassin who tried to kill me.” Sebastian ran a hand through his hair. It was beginning to make sense. Not good sense, but sense. “We’ve been following leads to find your family,” he said, getting the thoughts straight as he spoke. “We’d traced them to an organization called the Agency that we’ve been investigating for years. They’re a private company, but big, with connections everywhere, in the military, the government. My guess is we got too close and they picked up that they were being investigated. They sent someone to take out pack members. Then two nights ago they sent an assassin to kill me.”

“Well, they obviously didn’t succeed,” Jack drawled.

“We were ready for them and managed to capture the shooter. It was a woman. Her name was Anya.”

“And you let her seduce you, knock you on the head, and escape.” Jack’s tone held disbelief.

Sebastian stared at him through narrowed eyes. “It wasn’t quite like that.”

“Then how was it?”

Sebastian sat in silence for a moment. Tasha came to stand beside him, put a hand on his arm, and he stared up into those golden eyes. Eyes filled with hope. “Tell me about her,” she said.

He took a deep breath. “She was ill. I don’t know what was wrong with her, but I took her out of the cage…”

“Why?” Jack asked.

“I thought she was dying. Nobody should die in a cage. Connor didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she had some pills. I gave them to her and she seemed to get better. She wouldn’t talk though. Wouldn’t tell me where they were keeping the pack members they’d taken.” He crossed the room and poured himself a drink, came back to stand before Tasha. “Then you told me Jonas was dead. I was going to make her talk. Do whatever I had to.”

“So you thought you’d fuck her, and she’d be so impressed that she’d tell you everything,” Jack said. “Instead, she whacked you over the head and got away. How the hell did you let that happen?”

Sebastian frowned. He thought back to that last memory of her. His head between her thighs, the taste of her on his tongue, her hands curled into his hair, gripping his skull. Both hands. It didn’t make sense. How could she have hit him? “I don’t know,” he said slowly. “I’d swear she couldn’t have hit me, but something did. A jug actually, a stone jug, but it was on a table across the room. How… ” He broke off and shook his head.

“Telekinesis,” Natasha said.

“What?”

“When I was a prisoner at the Facility, they did tests on me. Tried to make me move things with my mind. I could never do it. But maybe my sister can.”

“Christ,” Sebastian muttered.

“So is she working with them?” Jack asked.

“She must be,” Sebastian replied. “She was good, and she’d been well trained. If we hadn’t been expecting her, she would have taken me out.”

“If she works for the Agency, why did she free Maria and Travis? And if she changed her mind, wanted out, why didn’t she come with them?”

“She said she had something she needed to finish,” Travis said.

“What?”

Sebastian could hear the frustration in Tasha’s voice.

Travis shrugged. “She also said to tell you, she would have liked to know you. It didn’t sound as though she was expecting to see you anytime soon. If at all.”

Sebastian heard the words, and fear trickled down his spine.

The Agency had to know she’d helped his wolves escape. And from what he had learned of them, they were a ruthless organization and would not take her betrayal lightly. Was she already dead? His whole mind rejected the idea.

Tasha had dropped into the chair behind her. “Oh, God. Why didn’t she come back? Why did she have to stay behind?”

Her question echoed Sebastian’s thoughts. Had she stayed because she was afraid of Sebastian? That he would want revenge for her escape?

Jack went to his wife, picked her up and sat with her in his lap. He stroked the long red hair from her face and murmured to her. “We’ll find her. We’ll get her back.”

“How?”

“We know where she is,” Sebastian said.

“Yes,” Jack replied. “But unfortunately, they know we know. We’re going to have to move fast or we’ll get there and find them gone.”

“There’s another scenario. They know who and where we are. They’ve come after me once. These guys have an army at their disposal. What’s to stop them coming after us first?”

“Would they risk the exposure?”

Sebastian shrugged. “They know what we are, that we won’t involve the authorities in this. I think they’ll come after us here.” He stood thinking for a moment. “Riley, I want you to get everybody out. Take Maria, but we’ll need Travis to lead us back there. Leave somebody out in the woods to watch this place. I want to know if anything happens.”

“Where do you want us to go?”
