“You must be fun at parties,” he says, as we both head in the direction of the mansion.

“What are parties?” I reply with the most stone-cold, dead-ass voice I can muster.

He stares at me from the corner of his eye while we approach the fence at the back of the house. “You really have been missing out.”

I glance at him. “Why do you think I broke out?”

He grins. “Party-hard, fucker.”

We both jump up and hop over the fence. Some alarms go off, but Luca snuffs them out with a quick bullet. Then we run to the back door, the one that leads into the kitchen, or so I’ve been told.

He made a whole fucking map of the house and included an attack plan, but if shit starts to fly, I’m throwing it out the window without a second thought.

The only thing that matters to me is saving her.

And if he dies while I’m in there trying to get my woman, it’s his own fucking problem, not mine.

“Ready?” Luca asks.

I nod and chuck in a smoke bomb.

He knocks down the door with his foot when it explodes, and I go in first.

The room is filled with smoke, but I know how to make my way around the dark. With my gun held in front of me, I aim at anything that moves.

BANG!

One down.

Several of Lex’s staff members flee the room, screaming in terror, but I gun them all down one by one. I do not care if they were guards or cooks. They worked for him, which means they hurt my woman and me.

BANG! BANG!

More go down like flies, but then gunshots finally erupt.

Luca is right behind me, shooting at the guards to my left while I focus on the way forward. I’ve imprinted the map he created onto my retina, going on pure instinct and memory as I walk.

“Code red, code red!” a guard yells into a walkie-talkie up ahead.

BANG!

I shoot him right in the head, and he collapses against the kitchen door, blood pouring from his wound.

Suddenly, there’s a shriek. A familiar one. And it alerts all of my senses.

“Aurora,” I mutter.

Every inch of self-control flies out the window as I storm toward the sound.

“Beast!” Luca calls behind me as he guns down anyone who approaches us from the left and the right. “Stick to the plan!”

“Fuck the plan, she’s in danger!” I growl back, shooting back at someone gunning at us from the stairs.

When I’m out of ammo, I quickly shift to knives and chuck them at the men flocking around us from all sides. Some charge at me, and I slice through them like butter, cutting into their abdomens and gutting them in half with ease.

“You’re gonna get us killed,” Luca yells, trying to follow me.

“BEAST!” Aurora’s voice calls me like a siren, drawing my attention upstairs.
