Canaan’s jaw dropped. “Stop it! It’s freaky to see you smiling and jibbing, Wilder.”
He laughed again. “Glad to see that’s what you find intimidating about your alpha.”
Canaan shook his head. “Who knew?”
The four wolves continued to jab each other with verbal jibs. It was a good way to pass the time while they waited for Greg to show up with his lion guards.
The trap had been set on a property just on the outskirts of London. The inn wasn’t very big, but Wilder had bought out all the rooms for the day. It was the best way he could think to protect any human from getting hurt.
They were going to face off against shifters, and the chances of a terrible fight were high. The humor helped them forget that they could get hurt. Wilder could only hope that each of his family members had given a proper good-bye to their mates.
He hadn’t.
Not because he didn’t want to, but because it was impossible to say good-bye to Amelia. She wasn’t his mate. Not officially. He was doing this for her, and until they had years and decades together, Wilder would never feel like he had been given enough time with Amelia.
“It’s nearly two,” Canaan said, looking at his phone. “They should be here soon.”
Wilder peeked out the chalet’s curtains. A series of high-end cars were parked in front of the inn to sell the illusion that many of Greg’s competitors were there.
Greg had to believe the ruse until the very last second. It would give Wilder and his pack the element of surprise. Wilder couldn’t wait to see Greg’s expression when he was faced with four wolves instead of Amelia.
The human was walking into the inn, thinking he had all of the power. Greg had the upper hand for the last time. Wilder wouldn’t rest until it was done. Until the man was behind bars for the rest of his life.
“He’ll be here at 2:05,” Wilder guessed. “He’ll want to make an entrance. He’s that kind of man.”
“Gross,” Ryland said.
“Poor Amelia,” Canaan lamented.
“At least she’s got the protection of the Wolverton and Lupine packs,” Axton said.
Wilder aimed a thankful smile at his cousin. The conversation was brought to an early close when the sound of tires on gravel was heard. Wilder took another look out the window and spotted three black SUVs pulling up to the inn.
Greg and two lions leaped from the first vehicle before they were joined by four more. The last four lions broke away from their master and began to walk around the inn. No doubt, they would be covering all exits to make sure Amelia couldn’t escape.
Wilder smiled at that.
“Are we ready?” Canaan asked.
“I am,” Axton replied while Ryland dramatically cracked his knuckles.
“Let’s do this,” Wilder nodded. “Let’s rock the world of this asshole once and for all.”
The four wolves gathered in the inn’s main room—a sunroom decorated with a number of plush couches and coffee tables. From their vantage point, they could see four of the lion guards doing the rounds of the building.
Wilder tapped one of the walls of windows and flipped the bird to the lions. “Chase the birdie, you pussies.”
“Nice one,” Ryland laughed just as the lions exploded into their animal forms, running right for them.
“Here. We. Go!” Wilder shouted, shifting seconds after stepping out the door.

“What the fuck is going on here?” Greg shouted. The human ran toward his four lion guards, with the other two running behind him, not yet shifted.
“Sir,” one of them screamed. “Get into the inn. Now. This is a trap.”
