I could feel Evie’s nerves, along withherworry. “We’re going to find Eachann,” I told her. “Either our team or Samael’s. No matter what, this ends today.”
She took a deep breath and gave me a faint smile. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Yeah, yeah, we all love each other. Can we get this show on the road?” Kyla grumbled, stalking into the bus.
“What’s wrong with her?” Evie asked.
“Finvarra’s meeting us at this lab. It turns out, your uncle is more important than he let on.”
She winced. “Ah.”
Kyla glanced over her shoulder at us as we climbed onto the bus. “I can’t escape the unseelie bastard. Everywhere I turn, there he is. Just like Ryker’s onion breath.”
“Seriously?” Ryker growled.
I got to my feet and stood in the aisle as Hunter navigated to the lab. “The moment we step from this bus, we will be visible. Evie can’t hide us all at the same time. The guard should open the gates, but we need to be prepared just in case.”
Xander pointed down toward the explosives, which had been carefully packed and wrapped in the specially designed, armored storage beneath the bus. “They don’t let us in, we’ll get in with force,” he said. “But we don’t want to risk hurting the prisoners if at all possible.”
“FBI is on the way,” Ryker said. “They’re pissed.”
I nodded. We’d gone over this plan multiple times, but I wanted to be sure we were all on the same page.
“Stay with your buddies. I don’t want to hear about any stupid accidents,” I said as Hunter parked the bus directly outside the gate.
Evie batted her eyes at me. “Are you my buddy?”
“Always.” I grinned at her, then turned to the rest of the team. “Go.”
We filed out. Demons dropped from the sky, each of them hauling one of the unseelie. Bael dropped Finvarra a few feet from the air, and he landed like a large cat.
Xander’s job was to protect Hannah. He hadn’t complained, although I could tell the thought of protecting a black witch didn’t sit well with him. But we needed her to help Evie ward us as we entered. I glanced at him, and he grimaced but nodded. He’d do his job.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be one of my dominants.
The gate slid open.
Bullets flew through the air. Evie shuddered, and Hannah took her hand. Together, their ward encompassed all of us, and we sprinted through the inner courtyard. The demons launched into the air, taking out the HFE members positioned several floors up shooting down at us.
The moment we got to the first room, we split into our teams, each taking a corridor. None of us knew what we would find at the end of each hallway, which was why each team had a mixture of demons, fae, and wolves.
Finvarra and his team peeled off to the left. We went straight, while Aubrey’s team headed to the right.
We hit the first door. Kyla lifted her leg and kicked it down.
Evie sighed. “My toxic trait is thinking I could do that.”
I couldn’t help it. I leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Then we stepped through the door.
Together.
Twenty-Three
