“Colt? What is it?”
With every second, that howling desperation grew louder until it was undeniable.
“She is here,” I croaked. “And they know it. They’re going after her. They’re?—”
A low snigger came from Hale’s Son in front of me, right before Carven slammed his fist down on the hilt of the knife, driving the tip all the way into the hunter’s neck, severing his spine instantly. He dropped to the floor, but I had already spun around and was driving my body forward in the dark.
They knew where she was.
And they were going after her.
I ran, pushing myself harder than ever.
Carven matched my strides.
“Go!” I roared. “Save her.”
He needed no encouragement, his own terrifying need for her driving him forward. The cracks in the tunnel beside me were a blur. My pounding steps were sledgehammer blows. Still, I needed harder, faster.
GET TO HER NOW!
The Beast howled.
Carven pushed harder, charging along the tunnel back to that alley. Fear pushed in. Why the hell was she here?
Crack.
Crack.
Crack.
The faint sound of gunfire pushed me harder. Sunlight splashed against the floor of the tunnel. Screams outside pushed in. A woman…was it Vivienne?
Carven turned right and lunged. I knew where we were. The metal doors at the end of the alley. The walls blurred, rage was all I saw as I barrelled right and all but threw myself out through the open door and into the alley.
Riven and Thomas were fighting one of the Sons, unleashing the kind of violence that was sickening. But I didn’t care about them…I turned my head.
London was there.
Carven too.
Two Sons stood between them and Vivienne…
My Vivienne.
Her hand went to her belly. Her wide eyes fixed on me. There was a look of relief as she met my gaze. But she shouldn’t be relieved. No, she should be fucking terrified.
“Easy.” London lifted his gun as the Son in front of her pulled his blade.
The bastard said nothing, but he didn’t need to. We all knew exactly what he intended to do with that honed razor's edge.
“Make a move and I’ll drop you where you stand,” Carven growled.
But I didn’t wait for that to happen. I lowered my head and strode toward him, watching as the Son’s eyes widened in surprise.
Mine.
The Beast snarled, still hovering close to the surface.
