By the time they left, Nik was ready to let his beast loose. He explained more than once how they weren’t positive Sophia had been arrested, but the timeline fit. If she wasn’t sitting in prison wounded, they needed to know so they could look elsewhere. The consulate explained the Egyptian laws, and if Sophia had been arrested for murder, she was looking at a long stay. The laws were different there than in the States. Nik understood that. He wanted to know, one way or the other, if she was in jail. If she was, he would continue looking for her parents. If she wasn’t, he’d need to search for her. Before they left, the consulate assured them he would do everything he could to find out if she had been arrested. Now, they were to sit tight and wait. Nikolas was tired of waiting. Tired of not knowing where his mate was or whether or not she was okay. Even though it was early morning, Nikolas decided to lie down for a while. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but he wanted to meditate.
