After the restaurant, we rode for another hour before stopping for about fifteen minutes, so we could stretch our legs, and the women could use the bathroom as we filled up the car and our bikes. I’m looking forward to showing Siena where my home is and introducing her to the others. I still need to have my initiation; which King has reminded me of this morning when I contacted him to let him know what time we will be arriving.

Looking in my side mirror, I smile when I see Siena nodding and tapping her steering wheel to the beat of whatever song she’s listening to. That’s why when I hear a pop, it takes me by surprise. It’s no normal pop, but a gunshot. The next pop has a screeching sound behind me, which tells me that whoever is shooting at us has connected with one of our tires. Those sons of bitches will pay! I look in the mirror just in time to see my woman’s car swerving into the copse of trees.

“Motherfuckers!” I roar, Fang is shooting at the spot where a shot was fired from, but then another shot is fired, this one completely from the other side.

“They’re on both sides,” Goliath roars. We’re sitting ducks where we are because the road is right in the middle of two hills, great spot for assholes shooting at us. I want to turn and go to my woman, but as I slow, a bullet flies past my head. Placing my foot on the road, I turn my bike ninety degrees and I’m quickly speeding back towards the car. I see that Frost and Dixon have stopped and are both ducking behind the car as they try to pull the women out of it.

There are more than two shooters, because there is some fucker also shooting at the car. That son of a bitch is going to die. Coming up next to the car, I jump off the bike, rushing to the back of the car where they are ducking away from the shooter.

“Siena?” I call as I see her sitting next to Dixon, her face pale. “Are you okay, baby?”

“Blue, what’s happening?” she asks with a scared look on her face.

“Motherfuckers that want to die,” I state as I pull her into my arms and feel her shaking. Just the fact that they are placing my mate in danger has me seeing red.

“I’m going up there,” Frost states a few minutes before he’s changing into his wolf form and sprinting from behind the car.

“Wha… what just hap… happened?” Lee Ann asks with a shocked look on her face, her eyes huge as she looks from where Frost was to me and then Dixon. Fuck, we forgot she was here. Oh well, she will just have to keep a secret.

“It’s okay, Sweetie,” Siena says as she places her hand over Lee Ann’s, “I will tell you all about it.”

“What? tell me what?”

“They are shifters, they turn into wolves.”

Her face goes from shock into a huge grin, just as another bullet flashes past the top of the car, killing her grin immediately.

“That is so cool,” she whispers. “Don’t get killed, I want to see.”

I’m the one now surprised. I wish my woman had reacted so easily to me being a wolf.

“I’m going in,” Dixon states as he too changes and is off rushing across the road and up the hill to where the shots are coming from.

“Stay down, and behind the tires,” I order as I lift my gun to where I see Goliath and Dixon making their way up the hill. My eyes roam the hill to find where the fuckers are hiding, I see a glint behind one of the rocks. Lifting my head slightly, I sniff the air, all the different fragrances wafting towards me. There are at least five of them.

“Are you changing?” Looking down at Lee Ann, I see her watching me like she’s about to start an exciting movie. You can see it in her eyes that she’s thrilled over the concept of seeing me in my wolf form.

“No, I want to make sure the two of you are fine.”

“Oh, oh okay.” Her downcast expression has me shaking my head in amusement. Well, that definitely got her mind off the real threat here. “Can I pet you when you do?”

“No!” Siena snaps, looking surprised at her quick reply.

I hear a low growl and know immediately that the growl belongs to Fang. He must have changed too and has just seen his prey. If it wasn’t for my woman, I would be out there with the others, making sure that they paid for what they were doing. I hear a scream and then a low growl. The smell of blood permeates the air, evidence that one of the sons of bitches has encountered his maker.

I hear a faint snap behind me. Turning, I look into the handful of trees on the side of the road that leads up to the hill behind us, just in time to see one of the Hades’ motherfuckers raising his gun and pointing it at us. Roaring in anger, I jump in front of the women just as he fires, I feel the sting of the bullet ripping through my arm.

“Blue?” Siena screams as I fall to the ground, but I quickly jump up and charge into the trees before the asshole can shoot again. I see him point at me, but I’m faster than he expected, and before he can fire, I’m on him. My left arm is burning like hell, but that doesn’t stop me from grabbing him around the neck with my right hand and pulling him up as I throw him against the tree.

“You have poked the devil, now deal with it,” I growl low in my throat as I approach him, every nerve in my body is alive with fury because he shot at the women. If I hadn’t jumped in front of them, one of them might have been shot right now, maybe even dead. I lean over him as he tries to shake the confusion from his brain, his head banging against the tree from being thrown against it will do that to a person.

Pulling him up by his kutte until he’s facing me once again, I shake him. His arms raise, trying to push me away, but there is no loosening my grip. “You shot at my woman,” I growl deep in my throat, “for that you will die.”

His leg comes up to knee me, but I sidestep it before letting go of his kutte, punching him back against the tree again. The air is wretched out of him, leaving him gasping, which doesn’t help him at all as I slide my arm around his neck and then twist, breaking it and ending his miserable life.

Closing my eyes in pain, I let him drop to the ground as I take a deep breath, my arm burning. I know it’s not life threatening. Luckily, he only hit my arm and not a vital part of me or it would take longer to heal. Opening my eyes, I turn to start my way back towards where the women are, only to freeze as I see one of the Hades men standing over them with a gun pointed at my woman’s head.

All thought of my wound vanishes until all I see is red. The son of a bitch is threatening my mate! In a split second I have undressed and changed into my wolf, everything around me becomes clearer, the smells more intense. I rush down the path, coming up behind him just in time to hear the bastard threatening the women. “You chose the wrong MC to cuddle up to,” he says just as I jump up into the air towards him, my jaw opening, ready to snap at him.
