Page 56 of Virgin for Next Door Wolf Daddy
At Sebastian’s signal, they leaped from the plane one by one, their parachutes deploying silently. They landed in a small clearing in the dense jungle where they would meet the chopper.
The six of them hid their parachutes and then silently made their way to the compound where they believed the family was being held. Julian shifted into dragon form and flew off to get a visual of the compound that couldn’t be supplied by satellite.
They were about an hour out when Julian came back.
“There are six buildings. One is the palace. I don’t think that the Reids are being held there. Instead, there is a smaller building, that’s more like a shed. I saw a couple of women going in there with food, so my guess is that Sorn is holding the hostages in there.”
He described the rest of the compound, including the number of guards surrounding it.
They waited until darkness and moved in. The shifters undressed and stashed their clothes and supplies in the wood surrounding the compound. Anthony, Sebastian, Adam, and Jordan shifted to their wolf forms, while Lacey became a large bear. Julian flew over the compound to provide constant reports to the ground crew and to annihilate any unexpected threats.
The five ground shifters took out the guards relatively easily. Apparently, there was very little excitement that ever happened around the compound, and the men were very bored. They never saw the attack coming. Lacey used her strength to create a new entrance through a weakened part of the wall in the back.
They snuck into the compound but were spotted. One of the inner guards raised the alarm.
Julian used fire to destroy the electric lines, causing the entire place to go dark. He swooped down and charred the guard who had raised the alarm.
The six of them faced a fierce battle with Sorn’s elite guards. The close-quarter combat was brutal. One of the guards fired a gun and Anthony howled in pain. Sebastian continued to fight his opponent who had a large knife. The man sliced Sebastian’s front leg. Ignoring the burning pain, Sebastian swiped the man’s face with a huge paw, sending him screaming to the ground, as the claws ripped his eyes.
Sebastian whirled around in time to see Lacey use her powerful paw to send a man crashing into the side of a building. He hit the ground with a huge thud and didn’t get up. Julian swooped in, blew fire on one, and picked up two others in his claws, flying them high into the sky and dropping them to the ground outside of the compound.
Anthony was still fighting, even though he had a hole in his side. Adam and Jordan were engaged with two opponents.
He had taken in the scene in half a second, just as he was being attacked by another man. Sebastian leaped to the side and then pounced on the man, ripping his throat out. The inner guards were down.
“Anthony?” Sebastian asked telepathically.
“Flesh wound.”
Sebastian didn’t believe him, but they didn’t have time to take care of Anthony’s, his wounds, or anyone else’s wounds.
“Anyone else hurt?”
No one answered. They wouldn’t say anything here.
Sebastian and Jordan entered the shed first. The Reids were huddled together in the corner of the small structure. Apparently, the person guarding them had run.
They shifted and Sebastian said, “We’re going to get you out of here. Can you guys run?”
“Yes,” the man said, his voice shaking.
“Good. You will have to follow instructions immediately as they are given,” Sebastian ordered. “Stand up and get behind us.”
Just as they walked to the door, a new wave of fighters arrived. Sebastian realized that the leader of this new wave bore a striking resemblance to the general and recognized him immediately. It was the general’s son, Virak.
Jordan screamed, “Get back” to the Reids and shifted.
Sounds of gunfire, roars, and growls filled the air as the battle raged. Sebastian leaped and landed on Virak directly. Virak shot, but the bullet went wild. Sebastian shredded Virak’s throat with his claws.
Julian had blown fire at five of the newcomers as they ran toward the shifters. They screamed as they burst into flames. Lacey, Jordan, Adam, and Anthony quickly destroyed the rest of them.
A bone-chilling scream of anger and anguish filled the air as General Sorn stared down at his son’s dead body. His eyes locked with Sebastian's, burning with a promise of vengeance. “I will destroy you and the person you love most in this world,” Sorn screamed
“Come quickly,” Lacey yelled to the Reids. She, Anthony, and Adam followed behind them as Sebastian and Jordan led the way into the dark forest. Julian flew overhead to take out anyone who might be trying to follow them.
All but Julian shifted into their human forms and quickly got dressed. Calvin said, “You’re shifters. I thought shifters were a myth.”
“Lucky for you, we aren’t,” Jordan said harshly. She looked at the kids and in a much gentler voice, she said, “Are you okay?”
