You can smell him?
I know. It’s weird, like I’m channeling your wolf.
Cole slowed as he reached the doorway. She followed suit until he said, I need my gun.
She released his hand but planted her hand on his shoulder. She understood now. The physical connection to him strengthened the invisibility spell.
He drew his gun.
From the doorway, she saw an overweight wolf with his back to the hall and his hand clearly at his crotch. He was close to the girl who sat huddled against the wall. Her hands were bound in front of her. “Just suck it, bitch. If you don’t do as I say, I’ll give you another good one across your face.”
“Don’t. Please don’t.” The girl was crying.
Cole moved swiftly. He raised his gun and brought it down hard against the back of the man’s head. The wolf fell forward onto the girl.
She screamed again and tried to shove him off, but he was a big man.
One of the wolves called out from the main room. “What the hell are you doing in there?” A scraping of chairs followed.
We’ve got to hurry, Lauren said.
Cole pulled the wolf off Vickie.
Lauren moved close to her but addressed Cole. I’m going to leave the security shield and pull her inside. But she’ll have to be sedated with one of my spells or it will be too much for her. You okay with me using my witchness on her? She waited for his approval.
Cole stared at her for a long second then dipped his chin. Do you what you have to do.
She nodded then slipped out of her invisibility shield. She held a finger to her lips as the girl caught sight of her.
“Lauren?”
“Yes, it’s me. Let’s get you out of here. Can you stand up?”
The girl had a fresh, red handprint on her cheek. She nodded and wobbled to her feet but she listed. Lauren caught her and supported her with an ar
m around her waist.
She put her hand on top of the girl’s head and sent her a wave of sleep-induced healing. The moment she started to fall, Lauren pulled her inside the shield.
Cole immediately picked her up. Let’s get out of here.
He whipped around, and she levitated to plant her hands on his shoulders from behind. I’m right with you. I say head to the back door.
Just as they left the room, one of the wolves appeared at the end of the hall and headed in their direction. Though he gave no indication he saw them, Lauren had no idea how they were supposed to get around the wolf. Julio’s security force only hired big men. This one took up the hall side-to-side.
Cole’s voice hit her mind. We need to back up so he has access to the doorway. He’ll probably go inside and when he does, we’ll move past him.
She understood his thinking right away and stayed in sync with him.
Cole said, The moment he so much as leans into that room, I’m moving past him, fast, before the others enter the hall.
Got it.
The wolf was almost at the door as he called out, “You’d better not be having too much fun, asshole.”
Because Lauren was pressed the length of Cole’s back, she felt the tension in his entire body. Her heart hammered in her ears.
The wolf reached the doorway then moved inside. The second he did, Cole bolted in levitated flight past him. Lauren stuck to him like glue knowing this was their only hope to escape.
