“All vehicles are in the pass,” Jacob, Haven’s head of security, barked into the receiver at Del-Rey’s ear. “Good luck, Alpha Delgado.”
“Move!” Del-Rey shouted the order to Brim as another explosion sent rock and earth flying into the air.
The all-terrain jerked and sped off at his order, climbing the pass and shooting across the road as another explosion sprayed chunks of earth around the vehicle.
“They’ll be waiting in line of sight when they come out of that pass.” Brim jerked the wheel and headed up the mountain.
“Give them a new target,” Del-Rey ordered harshly. “Let them see us coming. Pull the fire off those limos, Brim. If so much as one of those women is injured, there’s going to be war.”
The peace between human and Breeds was always tenuous at best. They were aware that it would take only one wrong move to change the balance in peace. The death of a mate, especially an alpha leader’s mate, would create chaos.
Breed loyalty to pack was everything. Their women were their future, their survival. The death of even one of them would not be taken lightly, and the Council knew that. They knew the Breeds would descend on the murderers with a fury that the humans of the world only imagined them capable of.
Del-Rey’s eyes narrowed along the terrain. His night vision w
as perfect, drawing from the moonlight above, the shadows around them, each detail highlighted.
“We have incoming,” Brim yelled. “Brace. Brace.”
Del-Rey clenched his teeth in a grimace of fury as the all-terrain rocked and sped along the mountain. It zigzagged among the trees that crashed down around it as the explosion ripped through the forest.
“When we reach them, stay the hell out of my way,” Del-Rey ordered.
“We need to question them,” Brim growled in irritation.
Sometimes, Brim was too fucking logical. That was why, Del-Rey decided, Brim wasn’t pack leader.
He smiled, hard and cold, as the all-terrain avoided another explosive mortar shell and raced toward the ambushers’ location. Within minutes, they’d have them.
Del-Rey turned to Brim and snarled, “Question their fucking ghosts.”
A second later, the world exploded in a haze of color and sound as the all-terrain flew into the air.
The limo raced up the mountain to the Coyote Breed stronghold as Anya sat silently, staring into the distance at the explosions on the mountain.
She knew a team of Wolf Breed Enforcers had followed Del-Rey and his men up there. A helicopter was now streaking across the sky, as was one of the lethal weapon-equipped stealth heli-jets that the Breeds used.
She’d listened to the reports that echoed through the limo and flinched, barely holding back a cry when she heard that the Coyote vehicle had been struck.
Del-Rey was fine, she assured herself, feeling the tears that marred her cheeks. He had been through worse than this. He would have been prepared. He was fighting even now, his teeth clenched, a killer’s smile on his face.
“Coya, we’re pulling to the entrance,” Ivan told her fiercely. “Soldiers are waiting at the entrance to escort you into the caverns.”
“Find your alpha, Ivan, don’t worry about me,” she ordered him. “Which team are you taking?”
He shook his head. “Your protection—”
“Take team two, they know the mountains around here best. Is our jet still waiting here?”
“We’re not armed, Coya,” he stated.
“Get that jet ready to roll and get yourself and team two to your alpha,” she stated fiercely. “You bring him back here alive, Ivan, or I’m going to skin your hide. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, Coya,” he snapped before picking up the radio and ordering team two to detach from her protective detail and replacing them with another team.
Coya was second-in-command now, and their alpha was in danger.
“Doctors are waiting at the entrance for Sharone and she’ll be taken straight to Medical. Get ready, Coya, it’s going to be a hard stop.”
