Taming Jax (First Wave Book 5) Read Free

dealing with isn’t normal. He said that the older girl let him out of his cage, and the little one told him to go ahead and eat, that someone nice would be coming soon to take him home.” Jax said, still surprised at the images the cat had shown her.
     
    “Eat? You mean those men?” Reven asked looking a little green.
     
    “They let the cat out to kill two of the ones holding them prisoner before the bidding customers could get there. It was pretty damn smart for a toddler and a child, don’t you think?” Jax asked, giving Grai a disbelieving look.
     
    “It was too smart. No toddler, with the exception of you of course, could have spoken to the animal to ensure his help.” Grai replied, looking a little surprised.
     
    “What’s even better is there were four bodies and the cat only killed two. He was starving and wasn’t too picky… so he didn’t mind seeing if the other two tasted better. However, he doesn’t know who killed them.” Jax said while Grai growled out a long string of curses.
     
    “What are you thinking Grai?” Jax asked, knowing something was up with the man; he wasn’t usually this emotional about a mission.  
     
    Grai nodded to the back of the truck and waited until Jax and Reven got in before sitting beside Jax. As the truck lumbered down the trail back to the road, Grai looked up at the both of them.
     
    “I can’t explain it to you. The moment I saw that little one; I thought of Tristan. There is something about her that I can’t shake. I’m assuming that somehow she’s one of our own, but even if she isn’t… I want them found. I want them safe… and loved. As they should have been to begin with.” Grai said, confused over his own intense feelings.
     
    Although he adored children, whether they were human or his own people, didn’t matter, but this one… this situation was bothering him much more than it normally would. And he didn’t know why.
     
    Jax cleared her throat to try and clear her own thoughts on the matter before speaking. “I know what you mean. There is nothing normal about this retrieval. Cal, that’s his name for those of you who give a damn about the poor baby.” Jax said, giving a dark look to Reven before continuing.
     
    “Cal said that there was another creature in the area that he had never seen before. From his description, it sounds like a squirrel, who also saw the girls. I’m going to head back to the barn and try to find the squirrel. He’ll know what direction they went and who with.”
     
    When Reven snorted, Jax turned angry eyes on him. “You got a better idea big boy? Some brilliant way to find the direction they went? You want to waste resources scouring the cities and woods nearby?”
     
    “Because the only thing we know is that eight hours ago those girls disappeared, and they could be anywhere right now. We need to know what direction they went and in what form of transportation, so we know how to allocate our damn resources. So suck it up, you ass, the squirrel is our best bet.” Jax said before storming off towards the transport that was still waiting for them.
     
    “Damn that woman!” Reven muttered at her quickly retreating back. However, he couldn’t help but admire the sexy sway of her hips as her shorter legs took larger steps to get away from him.
     
    Grai turned to Reven with a worried look. “I do not believe in interfering with mates. But, if I were you, I would consider learning to see what she does in the animals. If nothing else to understand her better, even if you aren’t fond of the creatures.”
     
    Reven watched the man walk away before heading to the transport that was waiting for him. He knew Grai was right. He’d said the same damn thing to himself a hundred times or more. The problem was his emotions were so screwed up when he was near her that he would lose it.
     
    The way she petted and comforted the cat was what he wanted from her. Her concern for the animals and the way she fought
