“Where is the Alpha?” she demanded, her heart pumping faster as Remus stood and approached her.

“I told you. He’s busy.”

“Why didn’t he tell me?” Because you don’t matter to him.

“Because you’re not pack. You’re a visitor. An outsider who has no reason to know about pack business.”

“I think you should leave now.” She glanced to the door, which she noted he’d taken care to completely close.

“The Alpha and I share everything, you know.” He licked his lips and smiled. “We lead together. We run together. Fuck together. What do you say? You want to have a go? I bet your pussy is tight as a drum after being in Hell.”

Remus snatched her wrist and pulled her to him, the stink of his foul breath wafting into her nose. She attempted to pull away, but he held tight.

“I bet you like it in the ass, don’t you? A bitch like you wants it hard and rough. I’m just the guy to give it to you.”

“No!” Willa screamed as he shoved his hand between her legs. Without pause, she swung the blade at him, slicing open his cheek.

“Bitch!”

As the back of his hand landed across her face, pain shot down her neck. She rolled onto the ground and swung her leg under his, causing him to fall. Clammy fingers wrapped around her ankle. Willa struggled to get away, kicking her boot at his gut. He growled and tugged her closer to him.

“Get the fuck away from her.” The sound of Julian’s voice filled the room and within seconds, her foot was free. As she rolled onto her back, she caught sight of Julian throwing Remus across the room. The sound of glass shattering shook the room as the beta fell through the window, his body landing with a thud onto the ground below.

“Oh Goddess. Julian,” Willa cried, rushing to his side.

A cool breeze rushed over her as she peered through the broken glass. The mangled body of the beta lay motionless on the grass.

“Is he dead?” she asked.

“Doubt it, he’s a wolf. But we’re not sticking around to find out. It’s time to roll, lil’ sister.”

“How are we going to get out of here?” she asked.

“I’ve picked up a few tricks since I last saw you. We’re going to Guatemala?”

“If we can get to the main city, I can arrange for a…”

“Just think of the place you want to go.”

“What?”

“Just think of the place, okay? Picture it. Now close your eyes.” Julian winked.

“Are you making this up? Because I swear to the Goddess, Julian, this is not the time to screw around. We’ve got to get out of here before Remus wakes up or the pack finds him. We should just look for the keys to the car and take it. We can hop a flight in Idaho Falls. By the time they find out we’re missing, we’ll be long gone.”

“Trust me. Just close your eyes. Think of your village, okay.”

“Fine but I’m telling you if you’re fooling around, I’m going to kick your a…” Willa’s words disappeared as she spiraled into the darkness, dematerializing away into nothingness.

Willa breathed in a deep breath of air as her feet hit the ground, the pungent scent of the rainforest vegetation engulfing her senses.

“Where did you learn that?” she laughed, slapping her brother’s arm.

“A magician never reveals his tricks. You okay?”

“Are you a vampire?” she asked, her face falling flat. Viktor.

“What? Why in the world would you ever ask that? As if I’d ever let one of those bloodsuckers have at me. No fucking way.”
