stonewashed jeans. Styx might be Shadow’s second when guarding Bethany, but he hung back close to the door, guarding Raja.
    Kallie sat, clearly uncomfortable to be in front of the Elder and guards, her gaze traveling between Raja and Styx, before finally settling on Raja. “The guards you have stationed above the compound are reporting activity among Pierce’s men. It seems as though they’re preparing for something. I fear from the information I’ve received, they might be planning an attack.”
    Her statement got everyone’s quick attention as silence filled the room.
    “Styx, find Ty and tell him what’s going on. Get Tabitha and Bethany together and stay with them.” Raja moved to peer out the conference room windows, not that he could see much beyond the trees. The compound area had been picked for its isolation. The undeveloped land surrounding the compound gave them even more privacy. Ty and Raja purchased all the surrounding tracts when they built the small town to ensure no one would infringe on their clan, and that they could expand, as needed.
    “Raja, I think we should proceed with the plan, as soon as possible,” Taber said. It was time to let Tabitha work her magic on Victor. If there was going to be attack on the compound they needed to deal with Victor and eliminate him as a threat. They couldn’t afford to have someone help him escape while they were defending their land and clan.
    Raja nodded. “I agree. Kallie go back to command central. Work with Mark to find out anything else.”
    Ty walked into the room, his green dress shirt hanging open. He spared Kallie a brief look as she left and then focused on Raja. “Tabby’s with Bethany and the guards, but she’s ready. Has the video been sent to Victor Senior yet?”
    “I was on my way to deliver it to Connor when Taber and Kallie found me. I think we should send it first.”
    Ty fastened the last button on his shirt. “You do that. I’ll meet up with the women and guards, and we’ll meet you in section four. Taber, if you could head over to command central and see if there’s new information. You have twenty minutes and then I want you to meet us in section four to help guard Tabitha.”
    Taber rose from the chair. “Whatever you need.” He followed Ty out of the conference room, and then headed in the opposite direction, following Kallie’s trail. She left behind a scent that was burned in his brain.

    Heading back to command central, Kallie cursed her luck for running into Taber again. The one man in the whole compound she wanted to stay away from yet it seemed as if fate kept throwing them together. When she went to Raja’s quarters she expected to find Shadow, Styx, or even one of the other guards. She definitely didn’t expect to see Taber. It never crossed her mind that space was limited with the Captains of the Guards, each occupying one of the guest rooms in the main compound along with Raja’s sister Tora and her family in another It made sense for them to be close with danger lurking the clan, especially with a prisoner close by. She expected Taber to have been in one of the cabins, not Raja’s quarters.
    She pushed Taber from her thoughts, at least the best she could, and opened the door. Mark sat behind the main station, watching the computer screens. His eyes appeared more drawn and worried than normal as he focused on one of the cameras covering an area of the undeveloped land surrounding the compound.
    “Mark, anything happen while I was gone?” She slid into her post at the other desk. Kallie wasn’t technically on duty, but even if Raja hadn’t ordered her to help Mark, she couldn’t leave him to watch all the screens with the impending danger.
    “They’ve moved down the mountainside and found better coverage. It works to our advantage because though we can’t see them, they can’t see us either, not enough to attack. We have a team off to their south, watching. If they make a move we’ll know. Did
