Chapter 9 Shadows Of Deception

• Jackson's POV
• Tonight the packhouse appeared to weigh more. Every floorboard groan and lamp flutter felt as though the ground itself was breathing. I was likewise too. The twins were asleep and ignorant of the storm building outside these walls in their room with Ava. Still, I wasn't sleepy. Days had gone without sleep coming naturally. Not with Blackthorn, planning, waiting out there. Not with a traitor prowling about our group.
• Riley's comments earlier had shook me more than I had let on. He is aware of the twin set. He is on his way for them.
