With a quick push, I shove Lex away from me and run for the bathroom door, but Anne grabs ahold of my foot, knocking me to the ground.
Oompf.
I look behind me and see her wretched hand wring around my ankle. “You’re not going anywhere after what you just did,” she says through gritted teeth.
I try to kick her away, but she’s much stronger than I am.
BANG! BANG!
Gunshots fill the room, and I duck for cover underneath my own hands. Even though I know they won’t protect me from the shots, at least they’ll protect me from the cloud of dust.
Bodies drop to the floor. I can hear them smack like a sack of potatoes.
“AURORA!”
His voice makes me lift my head and hear his call.
A huge shadow fills the empty doorway, blocking the light, towering over us all.
And my heart almost jumps out of my chest.
He’s really here.
More guards loom behind him, and my eyes widen. “Beast! Behind you!”
He doesn’t even have to turn around. A quick swoosh with his knife in a sideways fling slices through their bodies with ease, and he knocks them to the floor.
Lex pulls out his walkie-talkie. “I need backup! Wife’s bedroom, now!”
BANG!
Beast shoots the walkie-talkie right out of his hand with a single gunshot.
Behind him, I hear more gunshots, the sounds making me hide underneath the beauty cabinet in the back.
“Help! Get me out of this chair!” My father screams his head off, but no one pays any attention to him.
Someone is still out there, shooting like crazy.
Is it a guard, or did Beast bring someone to help him out?
When our eyes finally connect, intense relief washes over me. “You’re here.”
“Of course I’m here,” he growls back. “You’remineand no one else’s.”
His possessiveness always scared me a little, but now … now it makes my heart sing.
“So you’ve finally returned to me … Beast,” Lex muses.
Beast’s nostrils flare, and his lip twitches. “For your head.”
But my eyes widen the moment Lex pulls out a gun and aims it right at Beast.
