I could feel Nathaniel’s dominance creeping out along the pack bonds. It made me shiver, but it was necessary. As Nathaniel’s number two, if Hunter lost it, he could kill far too many people before he was contained.
Stepping closer, I ignored the warning glance Nathaniel sent in my direction. Hunter wouldn’t hurt me. Instead, I squeezed between them and wrapped my arms around Hunter. He froze.
With a sigh, the tension left his body, and he leaned against the wall, hugging me back.
“Sorry,” he muttered.
I could feel Nathaniel’s approval. He loved that I was able to comfort his pack. “You okay?” I asked Hunter.
“Yeah.” Hunter ruffled my hair, and it was my turn to sigh. Another male intent on making me walk around with frizzy curls. Awesome.
“Ryker says our people have secured the building. Any guards left alive are in cuffs in the parking lot. The FBI is about to enter, so you don’t have much time with Lennox.”
“We’ve already told the FBI we’re keeping him,” Nathaniel growled.
Hunter just shrugged. “Every paranormal faction is going to want him too. I suggest you get as much as you can out of him now, before someone like Finvarra tries to steal him out from under our noses.”
Drawing back, I took Nathaniel’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Twenty-Four
Evie
Ididn’t know what I’d expected Lennox Rees to look like, but it wasn’t like a guy who coached Little League in his spare time. He had light-brown hair, a wide chin, and gray eyes. But those eyes were eerily empty.
They’d tied him to a chair, and Vas loomed over him, while Meredith sat a few feet away at a computer station. I wasn’t surprised she’d insisted on ditching the plan for her to stay on the bus so she could take a look at Lennox’s electronics herself, instead.
“Evie Amana,” Lennox said, the hint of a smirk tightening his lips. “You would have been an excellent addition to my lab.”
“I certainlyamone of a kind.” I strolled toward him. “But your labs are done.”
Lennox’s smirk became a grin. I shivered. Ted Bundy had probably smiled like that. “You’ll never find them all.”
“Actually,” Meredith said, “we just did.”
Lennox’s gaze flicked to her, and Vas stepped in front of his view.
“There’s one more in Florida,” Meredith said. “It was on ourmaybelist. I shut down all communications, so they won’t know about the raids. We have enough time to get a team in there.”
Vas held out his hand, and Mere high-fived him.
“Where’s the closest team?” Nathaniel asked.
“St. Petersburg,” Ryker said, walking in behind us. “I’ll let them know.” He turned away again.
“You’re done.” I smiled at Lennox. “All of your little labs are destroyed. All your HFE members are either arrested, dead, or being hunted like dogs.”
“You’re making a mistake.”
Nathaniel had gone still. He was looking at Lennox as if the man only had moments to live—and he was going to enjoy every second of his death.
Lennox instinctively dropped his gaze, making himself as small as possible in his chair.
“And why is that?” I asked.
Lennox swallowed. “Because I’m not the one you should be worried about.”
I dropped my gaze to Misty, which hadn’t reacted. Lennox believed what he was saying.
