Chapter Fifteen
Kayos
Kyllian’s adrenalinewas still pumping by the time they hit the interstate.Knowing Quinn was a badass was one thing, but to see her in action?His Gryphon wanted to rip Karen apart for challenging Quinn, but he got it.Sort of.If someone killed his mate, he’d be hellbent on revenge too.Still, he’d pulled his beast back knowing Quinn could handle herself.She was the sexy one with all that gorgeous silver and black fur.If it weren’t for the fact their girl needed them, he’d have pulled over and found somewhere to claim her all over again.Instead, he got his thoughts off his dick and where they needed to be.
He pressed the button on the steering wheel and said, “Call Bishop.”
“Kayos?Everything okay there?”
“No, it’s not.Somehow Nikita got away from Mercy and Jeremy, and they were chasing her through the mall.She’d borrowed someone’s phone to call me.According to one of the pack members, Kinsley had an appointment in town, but we all know that was a lie.”
“I’ve got a bead on her phone, and I’d say you’re right.She’s headed west toward New Tulsa.I’ll keep an eye on her.If her path changes, I’ll let you know.”
“Thanks, Bishop.We’re on the road west as well.”Kyllian’s phone buzzed, and he glanced long enough to see who was calling.“Pop’s calling.I’ll check back in soon.”He switched over and said, “Hey, Pop.”
“Kyllian Donovan Lazlo.”Rory using his pop’s phone plus Kyllian’s full name didn’t bode well.Kyllian cringed, and Quinn slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to suppress a laugh.
“Hey, Mom.I take it you’ve heard about Nikita?”
“Rory, give me the phone, Love.Let me handle this,” Sutton said.
“Why did I have to hear from your sister that you’re in New Mexico battling wolves?Wolves, Kyllian.”
Kyllian opened his mouth, not sure what to say, but Sutton came on the line.“Kayos, I’m putting you on speaker even though I don’t need to.Your mother is sitting on my lap so she can hear you too.”Kyllian grinned.He couldn’t help it.His parents were just as in love now as they were when they mated a hundred years ago.“Son, not only did Poppy call your mom, but Trenton called me to give me a heads-up on the River Canyon Pack and Nikita being Quinn’s daughter.”
“Shit, Pop.So much has happened, and we haven’t had time to get in touch with Trenton since we left.Long story short, some wolves from the Ozark pack were supposed to take Nikita to Poppy’s where we were going to pick her up after dealing with the RC pack.Instead, they kidnapped her.Currently, they’re in Tulsa.Nikita managed to get away and call me, but the ones who took her found her again, and she’s on the run.Quinn and I are headed there now.”
“That poor girl,” Rory said.“You better find her, Kyllian.Find her and bring her here.She needs the Lazlos to watch her back.”
“That’s the plan, Mom.I’ve already instructed her sire to pack her things and send them to my house.”
“Sire?Is that like her father?”Rory asked.
“The bastard doesn’t get that title.You’re gonna love her mom.Her and Quinn both.”
“Am I the only one?”
Kyllian rolled his eyes at his mother’s lack of subtlety.“Nope.Quinn and I are mates.I have the bite mark to prove it.”
“And you didn’t lead with that?”Rory’s indignant tone had Quinn laughing out loud.“Oh, hello Quinn.I’m Rory, and I can’t wait to meet you.”Indignant to sugary sweet in point-five seconds.That was Rory.
“Hello, Mrs.Lazlo.I can’t wait to meet you all as well.”
“None of this Mrs.Lazlo business.You call me Rory, or Mom, whichever you prefer.”
Quinn gasped, and her fingers in Kyllian’s hair froze.Yep, Aurora Rose Lazlo was the best mom ever.He had no doubt his pop had already given Rory the scoop on Trenton’s past.She would be aware Quinn didn’t have a mom of her own and hadn’t since she was a toddler.Rory would step into the role if Quinn would let her.
“Hey, Pop, can you do me a favor?Like I said, Nikita’s things are being delivered to my house.I have no idea how much stuff she has, but if you could keep an eye out for it, I’d appreciate it.”
“You got it, Son.Anything else you need?”
“Not right now, but thanks.”
“Kyllian, you said all her stuff is being sent, but does that include her birth certificate?”Rory asked.
“Shit, Mom.I don’t know.Even if they send it, it’s going to list Blake as her sperm donor, and I doubt the dickhead put Quinn down as the mother.I’ll need to check on that.”
“Why don’t you call Lucy?If anyone can get it settled, it’s her.Or Julian if she can’t.”
