"f**k! Where did he go?"
"Marku, check the perimeter. He must still be inside the mansion."
I watched my brother leave, but none of their words could penetrate the haze in my mind. My wolf was seething, his fury boiling over and slowly consuming me, but he was not yet in his feral state. That must mean this fog in my head was from pure disbelief.
The moment when I caught The Shadow with my team played in technicolour at the back of my eyelids. He was already wounded when we surrounded him, and I could only tell he was our man because of the first question he asked us.
"How was O-16?"
And then I remembered what he said just a few minutes ago when we still thought we'd finally got him for good.
"But did you really catch me... or did I let myself get caught?"
The fucker knew all along
