you find Ty?” He swiveled his chair around, cup of coffee in hand.
    “I found Raja, but he sent one of the guards to get Ty. They seem to have something they need to do, but want to be kept advised on how the situation progresses.” She glanced at Mark over her computer monitor. “Do you think they will attack?” Concern laced her voice like a well-worn shirt.
    Mark didn’t have a chance to answer before they heard someone lumbering up the steps. She met his eyes just as the door pushed open. Taber stood in the doorway. She kicked herself for not paying attention to the monitor. If she had been aware of Taber’s arrival, she could have made an excuse for a coffee run.
    “Taber, come in. What can we do for you?” Mark asked.
    “Ty sent me for any new information received. I’d like to speak with the guards on the mountain. See what they know.” The bear shut the door behind him and stepped into the small command central.
    The hairs rose on the back of Kallie’s neck. Taber’s bulky frame seemed to take up most of the floor space. She couldn’t breathe. She had to get out of here. With her haunted past running fresh through her mind, being closed in was more than she could take. “Mark, I gotta…” She bolted for the door, unable to finish the sentence.
    Gulping the fresh cold air, she fought the nightmares that plagued her day and night.

 
     
     
    Chapter Six
     
    Taber shook his head, completely confused by Kallie’s sudden departure. He knew she didn’t want this mating any more than he did, but wasn’t her reaction a little overdramatic? He rolled his eyes and turned his attention to Mark, ready to get down to business. If he could help it, he didn’t want anyone to know about their mating bond.
    “Don’t worry about Kallie, she’s had a tough past. Closed spaces send her right into panic mode. She’ll return once she gets her shit together.” Mark swiveled his chair around to the computer monitors. “Kallie picked up a transmission from the guards shortly before I came to replace her. It’s recorded. Let me call up the file and you can have a listen.”
    While Mark typed away on the keyboard, Taber’s thoughts drifted back to Kallie. Tough past? He wondered what happened to her and if those white streaks in her hair were part of her haunted past.
    “Here you are.” Mark clicked another button.
    A male voice crackled through the recording. “They’ve moved approximately twenty yards down the mountainside. We overheard that they’re waiting for orders.”
    Kallie’s voice was next. “I’ve located them, but they’re semi-hidden from the camera. I can’t get a good lock on them. Orders for what? Team one can you see what they’re doing?”
    Her voice held a hint of panic, but after seeing Mark’s blank expression, Taber knew he was the only one to pick up on it. He continued to listen to the recording.
    “We’ve got a read on them. They seem to be practicing hand-to-hand combat. No official data on what orders, but I would speculate they’re planning an attack. Do you have a lock on the other threats?”
    “All other threats accounted for…” Kallie’s words were cut off by the guard.
    “One of my men overheard they’re waiting for Pierce’s signal! Have you located him? Is he here?” The guard’s voice was anxious. Taber suspected the guard was scanning the mountainside for the leader of the rogues.
    “Negative. There’s been no indication he’s been here. I’ll alert the Elders. Keep us advised of the situation on your end.”
    Mark turned the communication off. “That’s the complete recording.” He turned to Taber. “Do you think Pierce is here?”
    “No, he’s not stupid enough to risk being found. Attacking the compound is a death sentence and even with his beast controlling him, he knows he doesn’t have a chance. He’ll risk his followers, but not himself.” Taber glanced at the monitors. “Do you have the locations of the threats? Of the closest
