The Forgotten Heiress novel Chapter 87

"Who are they?" Matt demanded from behind a perplexed Nick.

"Kate and her accomplices." Matt and Nick looked at her in disbelief, they didn't make a move and all her composure fled out the window. "We don't have time for this! I snuck out as soon as word came in that they found Jessica. Please you have to believe me! They are on their way to her now."

Nicks heart skipped a beat upon hearing his mates name and his beast wanted to follow Sarah but he wasn't ready to make such a rash decision. He stood his ground, raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest. "How do I know you aren't lying?"

"I'm not and you don't know but I will tell you this I heard they were following Danielle and that's how they found her."

Matt scuffed and shook his head, "we have someone on Danielle. If she was meeting with Jessica, we would know about it."

Sarah turned to look at Matt; the contempt she'd gleamed in Nick's eyes didn't hurt as much as Matt's look of indifference. He looked at her and it was as if he looked right through her. She could deal with anger from him-it meant he still cared but what could she do when it seemed that he didn't care anymore?

Her heart lay at his feet and Sarah was amazed to find that she could still stand. Hoping that none of the pain she felt showed, this wasn't about them, she raised her chin, "Are you sure about that?" She asked him, mimicking his stance. "Call them," she dared.

Matt eyed her with distrust even as he slowly pulled his phone out of his pocket and hit the speed dial button. Everyone waited in tense silence, after letting the phone ring with no answer,

Matt turned it off and bit out a curse.

He looked at Nick. "No answer, something's wrong."

Nick felt as if all of the air had been sucked out of his world, he turned to look at Sarah, "Where is she?"

His question was almost an intelligible growl. Nick could feel his canines begin to extend, his nails turn to claws and his eyes began to glow, shifting into those of a predator. His arms began to sprout fur and he could feel his whole body shaking as he fought his beast for control, fought the urge to shift.

Matt grabbed Nick by the shoulders and gave him a shake, "get a hold of yourself," he told him then turned to look at Sarah and also asked, "Where is she?"

Sarah told them where she heard that Jessica and Danielle were meeting and added, "They were barely leaving when I snuck out, it's not far from here, if we hurry we can get there in time to save her."

In better control of himself, Nick shrugged of Matts hold and took a step forward, "let's go."
