“How’d you manage that viperous bitch?” I stall, turning the tables on him. I swear if I ever get free, she will pay for what she’s done to me. To the Jackals. My blood heats with anger, but I keep my face serene and free of my thoughts.
“Oh, I don’t think I manage that woman at all. That’s her man’s job.”
“Hog.”
“The one and only. The president of the Demon Wolves MC.”
Well, fuck.I wasn’t expecting that little tidbit. I wonder how long she’s been playing double agent.
There’s a heavy knock on the metal door behind Raymond. “Tor, we’ve got incoming.”
Raymond stands and picks up a handgun, one I didn’t notice. I was too focused on him to pay much attention to the objects in the surrounding room. “I hate to cut our visit short, but it appears we’ve got a pack of mongrels that need putting down.”
He cocks the gun and flashes me a cold, deadly smile. “I’ll be sure to give their president your regards.”

KOHEN
“Anyone got a twenty on Snow yet?” Bane speaks into his walkie, checking in with the other group we assigned to the warehouse’s main entrance.
From the top of the hill, there’s a good view of the warehouse below. Though, we haven’t seen a lot of movement.
There are only four Jackals here in our group: Bane, Dutch, Pothole and me. The rest are with Coyote, who’s task is to draw out as many Demon Wolves as they can, allowing the four of us will sneak in through the side and hit them from behind.
Maria gave up all the details we needed not only to find Everleigh, but to shut down the trafficking ring Raymond had gotten the Wolves into. Apparently, he’d been doing it behind Hog’s back for almost a year and was working with a bigger entity. Maria only found out about him from Hog a few weeks ago—well, Raymond pretending to be Hog.
“No, but I’m pretty damn sure they know we’re here,” Coyote responds, the second we behind to hear gunfire coming from their direction. “Tell me y’all are in position.”
“Shit,” Bane curses. “We’re going in.”
“10-4.”
The sound of the Jackals returning fire joins the ruckus. I motion Bane and Dutch to move ahead, knowing Bane will have shit fit if I run in before he does. We duck low to the ground, moving through the overgrowth between the hill and the building, stopping on Bane’s hand signal.
Mother fucker is in his glory right now, putting his military background to good use.
Once we get inside, Bane and I will go left, and Dutch and Pothole to the right. Attacks or kills will have to be swift and quiet. The less attention we draw to what’s happening inside, the better chance we have of getting Everleigh out safely.
That if she’s still—no, I can’t let myself think like that. I’ve got to believe she’s okay and we’re going to get out of this. I focus on the building, listening for any sign of our enemy.
“Let’s go,” Bane whispers, before sliding open the window he picked earlier for our entrance. Dutch moves quickly, his enormous form almost too big to clear the space. “Pot, you stick close to Dutch and let him lead.”
Pothole nods, and a second later Dutch’s hand appears, motioning his partner in.
“Don’t go all cowboy on me, Prez,” Bane growls, motioning for me to go next. The restraint I’m showing is extraordinary, honestly. I was ready to storm the building when we confirmed the information Maria had given us. It was Bane who got in my face to calm me down, and he was right. I’d be no good to my wildcat dead.
Nearly there, wildcat, hold on just a little bit longer…

EVERLEIGH
My heart has beenin my throat since the first bullet went off. I knew Kohen and the Jackals would find me. I only hope no one is badly injured or killed.
A loud bang causes the walls to tremble, and I flinch. Shit. That was close, whatever it was. I hear shouting nearby and the sounds of boots running away from the door Raymond disappeared behind.
I twist my wrists, desperate to find some weakness in the plastic. Blood drips down my arms, and my skin will never be the same as it shreds underneath the strain. You’d think with all the blood, I’d be able to slip through the ties easy enough.
