on.”
    The guy sounded so upset and solemn.
    “How do I know you are who you say you are?”
    “What? What do you mean?” he asked sharply. “Are you okay? Why would I make this up?”
    Since she didn’t know whether the call was for real, she had to consider that it could be a trap. A way to lure her out. But what if it wasn’t?
    She locked gazes with Justin silently asking what to do. He shrugged, looking as upset as she felt.
    “How did you know to call me?”
    “What?” His voice rose. “You’re his daughter.”
    She waited.
    “You want me to prove who I am?”
    “Yes,” she confirmed.
    “How?”
    She wished she knew. Randy tapped her arm and grabbed the phone and putting it on speaker.
    “What kind of cell do you have?”
    “Who’s this?”
    That doesn’t matter. Answer the question.”
    “An iPhone 5.”
    Randy covered the mouthpiece. “Do you know what this guy looks like?”
    Nodding, she thought she was catching on to his idea.
    “Kayla will call you right back at this number on video conference.”
    “Hold on…”
    Randy disconnected the call.
    “If he is who he says he is then this shouldn’t be an issue. Plus we’ll be able to see in the background,” Randy explained.
    “It’s a good idea,” Justin confirmed.
    Kayla took the phone back and hit redial with video call. The line only rang once before she saw Chase Lawson. “Can you see me?” Chase asked.
    “Yes,” Kayla answered. “What happened to my dad?”
    Chase ran a hand roughly over his face. “Honestly? I still don’t know. I went over to his place this morning to talk to him. We were headed inside, when out of nowhere, a bullet caught his shoulder. I didn’t see anyone, but the sniper kept firing. I called our Alpha and got Marcus to the hospital and that’s really all I can tell you.”
    “Where is Shawn?” She noticed Chase had slipped and said Alpha but she wasn’t going to point it out. When in public, they weren’t supposed to use the Pack ranks but Chase was obviously distressed.
    “He’s still searching the canyon. As soon as we knew Marcus was okay, Shawn and Max left to try to find the guy.”
    “I’m on my way. I should be there in about an hour.”
    “Wait!”
    She stopped from disconnecting.
    “Are you okay? What’s going on that you didn’t believe me?”
    “We’ll get into that when I arrive. I’ll meet you at the hospital.”
    This time she didn’t give Chase a chance to reply. She leaped from the stool. “I’ve got to go.”
    “Hold on!” Justin grabbed her arm as she tried to pass. “We need to think about this. You were almost attacked last night too. They could be waiting for you to head back into town.”
    “My dad’s been shot!”
    “I know. I do. But we have to be careful.”
    “I’m going, Justin,” she told him.
    “I’ll go with her,” Randy said.
    Justin gripped his hair and yanked. “Fuck,” he yelled, frustration evident.
    “I have to go.”
    “We’re all going. I’ll call Angel and have her meet us in Canyon. I’m not going to let you two go off by yourselves.”
    She grabbed his face and kissed him. “Let’s go!”
    “You have to get dressed first,” he hollered at her.
     
    After hanging up with Kayla Webb, Chase’s anxiety rose to an all-time high. There had been something majorly wrong that she hadn’t shared with him. Now that she was on her way, he wouldn’t be able to relax until she had actually reached the hospital.
    Pacing the ICU’s waiting room—helpless once again to do anything—Chase grimaced as aggravation boiled up in his gut. A member of his Pack had been shot right in front of him and he hadn’t been able to do anything about it.
    At times like this, he wished he were more like Max.
    Max had shown up at the hospital with their Alpha. Both men had shifted then ran the whole way to the Webb residence. By the time they’d arrived, the shooter was nowhere to be found.
    Two of the Pack’s other members had driven to Marcus’
