The assholes wanted money, figured they could get it from Cassar Saros by holding his eldest son to ransom. It hadn’t even been all that hard to kidnap Zayde, given that he already had an extensive habit of getting fucked up on drugs and passing out in all manner of places. All it had taken was to follow him and wait for him to do the work for them.
Cassar wasn’t playing ball though and Zayde was getting scared. Not because he thought his father was about to let him die so he didn’t have to pay up. No, he knew his kidnappers would likely end up dead before he would.
What made him afraid was not knowing what the kidnappers would do to him when they started to panic after they realised they were all fucked.
Scent wasn’t always the easiest thing to go by, but Devin wasn’t easily deterred. He spent enough time with Zayde to know his scent, to know how to find him, and he had made damn sure Lissa knew not to bother him or get into any trouble until he got back with Zayde.
He knew there was something wrong when his boyfriend hadn’t responded in days. A day or two was to be expected with how Zayde’s father could get, but this long was alarming and he was determined to find him.
Teeth and claws were handy at time, the kidnappers were human and had never seen anything like a partially shifted wereleopard and they had been only too quick to flee from the sight, leaving him to get to Zayde without fight.
