“Then I’ll need a world map. But we’ll try this first.”
Tobias’s eyes widened as Evie placed the stone on the map. It immediately moved eerily across the paper.
“West Virginia,” Evie breathed. “But there are two labs there.”
The stone stayed where it was, planted in the middle of the state. Kyla walked in and tensed.
“We’ve found it,” she said.
“Not yet.” Evie was glancing between information on her phone and the map below us.
“There are two labs in West Virginia. That we know of. One of them is on the outskirts of Morgantown, in the northern part of the state. The other is in what was once a Walmart Supercenter in Summersville. I was right, and the labs are warded. At least, the main lab is. We have no way of knowing exactly where they’re taking her.”
“We’re hitting all the labs at the same time anyway,” Kyla said.
I considered our options. We’d planned for the most powerful of us to target the main lab since it would be the most secure—and the most dangerous.
“Two teams,” I said. “We hit the lab in Summersville. Danica and Samael hit the one outside Morgantown. We’ll need an even split of fae, demons, and wolves for each lab.”
Evie nodded. “All the other teams continue as planned.”
“They’ll be monitoring the airspace,” I said.
Evie frowned. “So, how do we get in?”
“Leave that up to me.”

Igaped at the armored black bus outside Nathaniel’s house. Although, calling it a bus was like calling a fighter jet a plane. I could already tell that this thing wasequipped.
The bus was surprisingly sleek, and if I knew Nathaniel, it was also bulletproof. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it could take a hit from an Uzi and continue on as if nothing had happened.
“Where the hell did you get this?”
Nathaniel’s grin was smug. “I’ve had a few of them for a while. Unlike demons, wolves can’t fly—unless we’re using planes. And only the most powerful among us can use the portals. That limits us. Thankfully, I’ve got these beauties.”
“How fast can they go?” The thing was built like a tank.
Nathaniel’s grin widened at the suspicion in my voice. “Much, much faster than they look. The biggest issue will be avoiding human police.”
Right. We didn’t have time for sirens and cops.
I wasn’t worried about driving faster than what was legally allowed. The wolves’ reflexes were hundreds of times better than a human’s. Besides, lives were on the line.
“The FBI have set themselves up in a white van just outside our territory,” Kyla announced. “I think that’s their version of being under the radar.”
I heaved a sigh. “They want us to know they’re there and they don’t trust us. The moment they see us moving out of wolf territory, they’ll be attempting to figure out where we’re going. If I could trust them to follow us, that would be one thing, but if they learn which lab we’re hitting, they’ll get their local people to go in first. They’ll justify it because HFE are supposedlyhumans. And it’ll be a bloodbath.”
“I’ll go scare the shit out of them,” Nathaniel said.
I laughed, shaking my head. “We need to notify them when we’re already close enough to the labs that they can’t prematurely crash our party.” I studied the bus and thought about our options.
“I think I have an idea.”
Nathaniel pressed a kiss to my temple. “Have I told you how hot it is when you get all witchy?”
