I huffed out a sigh. Who the hell was Aldon’s accomplice?
In a perfect world, I would’ve forced him to explain everything right here. But we couldn’t stay locked away any longer than we already had. These dam n chains were sucking away all my strength and power, and I needed to talk to Zane mind to mind.
“Fine How exactly will you get us out?” I asked, rattling the chains singeing my wrists 1 swiped this,” Aldon said, waving a set of keys in the air. “The High Guards upstairs are oafish dolts, but Aldon slipped the key into the door and swung it open quietly. He walked over to me and undid the chains. next. I rose up quickly, but his hand clamped over my arm “Wait” he said, pulling out a small vial from his pocket. “Your shifter abilities are still dampened by the silver exposure. Take one swallow of this.”
He handed the vial over to me. “It will cast a glamour over you so the guards can’t see you. Be careful, though. They can still hear and feel you.”
I eyed him warily.
“Do it now, while I free Zane,” he instructed. “The guards are on break, so there’s no one keeping watch outside. We have to do this quickly”
Without thinking too hard, I dowried a gulp of the thick liquid. It was either this or we tried and failed to get past the guards and ended up back in these cells.
The liquid burned as it moved slowly down my throat. It sent bizarre tingle’s through my whole body.
I stepped out of the cell, and Aldon snat ched the vial out of my hand, passing it to Zane. He winced as he drank. Aldon took one small sip, too, and then pocketed the vial.
“That’s all I have, and it may only last a few minutes, Aldon said. “We need to move now.”
Aldon waved us down the hall and through a heavy steel door. The prison was eerily empty. Where were the criminals who usually filled the cells?
here.
Zane shot me a worried glance. He was thinking the same thing. Thank the go ds we were getting out of We opened another door into a depressing, windowless room, and suddenly, a handful of guards spun around and looked right at us. I held my breath, my heart pounding. But then their faces scrunched up in confusion.
One of them walked toward us and I had to duck at the last minute so he didn’t run into me.
“What the…?” one of the guards asked. “This door f ucked up?”
“Nah, something’s up,” another guard said. “Someone check downstairs.”
Two of the guards rushed downstairs. S hit. They were going to see that our cells were empty.
Suddenly a tiny, high-pitched cry rang out from across the room. The twins were here, too.
One of the other guards clapped his hands over his head. “I can’t stand those da mn babies,” he grumbled through gritted teeth.
“What’s the point of even keeping them alive?”
I took a deep breath, barely holding myself back from snarling and lunging at this disgusting as shole.
Zane looked at me and nodded toward the hall. I knew what that meant: Let’s get the babies and get the fuck out.
We sprinted into another sad, small room, empty except for our babies in their bassinets. My heart panged. They looked so sad and scared Zane and teach scooped one up while Aldon waited anxiously at the door.
From the other room, we heard one of the guards yell, “They’re gone!”
F uck. We had seconds to leave, if that.
Zane and I held the babies tightly to our chests and ran like we’d never run before.
i Even Aldon, despite his age, sprinted through the hall and out of the door to the prison like a f ucking madman, fuck.
Aldon suddenly halted “Give me the babies and take off your shirts,” he said. I blinked hard. What the “Quickly.” Aldon snapped. The guards will follow the scent trail, I’m going to try and lead them away. You keep heading east.”
We handed over the pups and we stripped before taking them back quickly and turning to run.
“Be careful” said to Aldon: He’d just saved our lives and the lives of our pups.
He nodded, and then we were sprinting away.
We crashed through the trees and what seemed like ages later, were running up on a black SUV.
And there, standing in front of it, was Lanie. Holding Stella, A heavy wave of relief pummeled me. I wanted to fall onto the ground and melt into it.
“Get in!” she yelled But before we could make it to her, one of the guards from the prison stepped out in front of us.
“Oh no, you don’t face.
Xander–
Lanie screamed.
The huge quard who’d leaped out in front of us spun around to look at her. An evil grin spread across his “Who do we have here?” He co cked his head to the side. “The Council will be very pleased that I’ve found you, too,” he said in a raspy voice.
“Don’t f ucking touch her,” I said, The quard spun around to face me again. “You know it’s the weirdest thing,” he said. “One second I was following your scent, and the next p oof, there you are right in front of me. Almost like magic.
Suddenly, movement behind the car caught my eye. Braden and Mason were creeping up slowly, silently.
What the f uck were they both doing here?
I exchanged an uneasy glance with Zane.
“Take Isaac from my hands. I’m going to attack this m otherf ucker,” I willed him to hear me even though the silver chains had dampened our strength.
To my surprise, he responded, “Do it now”
I passed Isaac off to Zane in a split-second, but before I could even think about attacking the guard, Braden and Mason were leaping out from behind the car and tackling the guard to the ground, each holding back one of his arms.
e kicked and thrashed wildly.
Hel “He’s gonna give away our f ucking location making all that noise,” Zane said. “We need to get the f u ck out of here.”
If we killed him, we’d leave behind evidence and give the Council even more of a reason to keep us locked away. But if we let him go, he’d track us until we were all in the Council’s possession.
No, I needed to try something else.
I marched up to the guard.
“Cover his mouth,” I instructed, and Braden complied. I stomped as hard as I could on both of the guard’s legs, and he cried out in m uffled pain Once his legs were still, I reached out and clasped my hand around his throat, holding him with my gaze.
The guard’s eyes suddenly became unfocused.
“You will forget everything you’ve seen here today,” I commanded. He nodded. “If any guards ask if you’ve ented in uni will cau no Another nod “Now what will you say if another quard asks if you found ne?”
Braden and Mason were watching with intense curiosity.
“I will say no.” His voice was eerily robotic. “I didn’t see anything.”
fraised my fist and punched the guard square in the face. He slumped to the ground.
“S hit.” Braden said.
So my compulsion worked. Interesting. I guess that meant I was still Alpha. At least for now.
And then, suddenly, Lanie was running up to me and throwing her arms around me.
I held her tightly for a moment, Stella nestled between us. I closed my eyes and breathed her in. I’d missed this so much.
Joy.
She nuzzled her head into my chest. “Thank you,” she whispered.
I didn’t want to let her go, but I knew we had to move.
When we parted, I caught sight of Mason’s face behind me, growing redder by the second.
As Lanie stepped back, he threw his arm over her protectively. Jealous as shole.
“Does someone want to explain what the f uck he’s doing here?” Zane asked, nodding toward Braden.
I could’ve asked the same for Mason. Every guy Lanie’s ever been with, all together in one place again.
“Me?” Braden asked. “I’m the reason your as ses aren’t still locked up in prison. So I believe the phrase you’re looking for is ‘thank you.”
“We need to get moving, NOW,” I said. “Or else we’ll be swarmed with guards.”
“Everyone pile in,” Braden instructed.
We secured all the babies into car seats and piled into the back. Braden climbed into the driver’s seat and peeled away, “Ummm…where are you taking us, Braden?” I asked suspiciously.
