Chapter 73

• “Shadow Lord,” Alpha of Claw Stack pack bowed in greeting when Shawn and Theo got out of the car. “Of what do I owe this unplanned visit?”
• “I’m looking for one of your men. A John Thompson. A cab driver,” Shawn answered.
• “Oh, John,” the alpha nodded. “I will take you to his hospital ward. He was attacked last night, left to die at the roadside. His wife had come to me in the middle of the night, complaining about how his mating mark was weak. She strongly believed that he was hurt and urged me to send people to go after him. You can never doubt a woman who claims her mate is wounded. We found him lying unconscious at the back of the casino. He was barely alive. We took him to the hospital and he woke up this afternoon.”
