After dinner, Connor sent Annette home.
It was getting late, so he didn't go upstairs with her.
He stood downstairs and watched as the lights in her house lit up. There was a figure by the window.
Connor waved goodbye to Annette and got in the car.
When he got home, he asked Dwayne to find Marcus.
Only then did Dwayne discover that Marcus was not at home.
Connor snorted. He mind linked Marcus directly.
"Connor?" Marcus received the mind link and was puzzled.
"Don't mention what happened tonight to anyone else. And don't tell Annette about the grudge between the packs. Or, you'll be in trouble."
"Why are you doing that? Didn't you see it with your own eyes that..."
"Shut up," Connor interrupted Marcus. He said, "I'll make it clear again. Marcus, don't make things difficult for Annette. Do you hear me?"
"What if I don't listen to you?"
"I dare you."
