Her tail wrapped around me and she pulled me close to her, her hand sliding up and curling into my hair. She held me tight, our gazes burning into each other.
I had been working with her for months, and knew that when she said no, she would fight tooth and claw for it.
“Alex,” she whispered. “You can’t push me away. You can’t push her away. You belong with us, and we will defeat him together. You’ve already sent him to hell once before. We can do it again.”
“He will change tactics,” I growled. “He will use my ability to do so to his advantage. This monster is just playing a game with us, Anne, and he wanted to be the king.”
I couldn’t let him take her or Sylvia from me.
His texts burned in my mind, my heart beating faster.
Did he know where I lived?
Had I led him straight here?
He said he’d kill my mates which meant he knew about Anne and Sylvia.
Did that mean he knew about my heat?
All of the questions filled my mind, driving me crazy. I couldn’t stand the thought of him hurting my mates. I had been waiting so long for them.
“He won’t win,” she said, shaking her head. “He won’t. I swear it. I won’t let him. I have seen everyone else in this fucking office get their happy ending and gods damn it. I want mine, Alex. I want you. I want Sylvia. I want the three of us to be able to find some happiness in this fucked up world. Is that too much to ask for?”
“No,” I whispered. “No, it’s not. But we won't get that until he is dead. And we won't get that if you or Sylvia or anyone else is dead either.”
“He won't touch her,” she snarled. “Never again. I don’t know exactly what happened while she was trapped, but I would personally like to drive a fucking stake through his heart.”
Her passion made me take a deep breath, bringing a little smile to my lips. I leaned forward despite the hissing snakes and stole a kiss, enjoying the taste of her. The feel of her.
She relaxed until she pulled away, and then leaned her head on my chest.
“It’ll be okay, little viper,” I whispered.
Would it be?
Sylvia came back in the room with clothing in three of her arms, her expression unreadable. She let out a sigh as she handed me a set and then Anne too, and then swept her long black hair back over her shoulders.
Anne and I broke apart and the three of us got dressed, silence settling over us. We were all deep in thought.
“One meeting and then I’m tearing these off,” I said.
“Agreed,” Sylvia chuckled, pulling on a shirt.
My eyes fell to her breasts and I watched, sadly, as she covered them. She rolled all of her eyes. “Such a horny witch.”
“I am,” I said, smiling even though I was still worried.
Within a couple of minutes, the three of us were taking seats on the couch. I had grabbed my laptop and set it up, hitting the call button to Inferna.
It immediately picked up, and I wasn’t surprised to see Art and Calen sitting with her in a conference room.
“Well, well,” Art teased.
I rolled my eyes, but didn’t fight my smile.
“Good morning,” I said.
“Morning,” Inferna said, arching a brow.
