Penance (Dark Alpha #5)
“She’d had three cups of tea already, and she and Sarra had lapsed into a heavy silence. They were waiting for Jak to return from whatever “errand” he had to run, but Arianna couldn’t help feeling something had gone wrong. Every moment he wasn’t calling inched up her back like a glacier of dread.
While Arianna paced, Sarra calmly read the newspaper.
Arianna glanced at Sarra’s phone. It had been an hour since Jak called. “Something has happened,” she said without slowing in her pacing.

Arianna didn’t have a phone—Jak had given her one, but Mace had taken it—or she would have called Jak already.

At least, she thought they were looking for her—Jak hadn’t been sure.MoreLess
