“Guys, we have a problem,” Darren’s voice was laced with worry. “Over forty hostiles just showed up on my monitor and they’re headed your way, Will.”
“Will,” Greg said grimly. “It’s Horatio.”
For the second time since I’ve known Will, I heard him utter an expletive. “Where did they come from?”
“They opened up a wormhole,” Greg stated grimly. “Will, it looks like he found Mercedes and Bentley, and they’re definitely not here of their own volition.”
“Who is Mercedes and Bentley?” Jaxson asked in confusion as he looked over at us.
“The twins. My brother and sister,” Lincoln responded bleakly.
Chapter 29
I turned and gaped at Lincoln. “I thought you said you didn’t have any other siblings.”
“I just found out about them,” Lincoln responded as I saw a muscle twitch in his jaw. His expression was nearly enigmatic. “My mother apparently had twins when I was four. I never remembered them. I found them in one of the pictures my mother sent to my…father.”
I wanted to ask him more questions, but I saw his eyes shutter down. He wasn’t sharing anything else in front of everyone. Apparently, this was still a raw subject for him.
“They must have the ability to open up portals,” Jace commented darkly. “Team, we need to get moving. There are very few people that can stand against Horatio.”
“It’s time for me to end dear ole dad once and for all,” I bit out as we began to run towards the elevators.
We pushed the button and impatiently watched the numbers light up.
“We should just take the stairs,” one of Kirk’s wives Julie stated.
We were briefly introduced to Julie and Carrie. They were both similar in appearance and mannerisms, from what I could tell. They both seemed to be alphas as well, which I’m sure made an interesting household.
“That’s over twenty flights to climb,” Kirk stated as the lights flickered off.
I closed my eyes against the darkness, knowing it was asinine. “Jace,” I immediately called out.
Now was not the time to shut down and let the demons play.
“Right here, Sweetheart,” Jace responded as I felt his hands on me. He didn’t need to touch me, but I knew he did it for me to reassure me.
I wasn’t surprised to feel other hands reach out and touch me. I felt his reassurance chase away my panic, and I embraced it.
“We need to get moving,” Kirk reminded us. “Troy, a little help please?”
“As you wish,” Troy joked dryly before a fireball appeared.
Troy took the lead as we ran towards the stairwell. We all stopped as we looked up at the stairs we were going to have to climb.
“I’m not relishing the fact of climbing all those stairs,” Jaxson stated matter of factly. “Let’s take a ride.”
A glass box appeared, reminiscent of the flying machine I remember seeing in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
“Really man,” Troy snorted in laughter.
“I always wanted to be Charlie.” Jaxson sighed dramatically. “Let’s take a ride.”
“Um, I’ll take the stairs.” Carrie stared at it dubiously.
“It’s tough to take Jaxson seriously at times, but his Non-Illusions are fine,” Kirk said as he took a step on the contraption.
“Is it going to fit us all?” Julie asked skeptically.
