“I felt something in the distance, something big, like pure power.” She leans down, pressing her hand to the dirt. “Like the earth itself is being wielded.” For a moment, her eyes glaze over. “It is, in a battle for the future.” She blinks then stands. “It seems we are not the only ones defeating enemies today.”
Sometimes, I swear Quinn is not of this world, as if the moon itself kissed her cheek and blessed her with knowledge beyond her existence, but it gets less odd the more I’m around her. It is just Quinn, and sometimes, she knows things she has no way of possibly knowing.
I simply incline my head as she takes my hand once more. “Come, we will reach the base by midday.”
Quinn is right, my little smart she-wolf, because we reach the base around midday. We allowed for stops along the way, very aware of what we are walking into. Once there, we crouch in the tree line to make sure we aren’t seen until we are ready.
There are trucks and cars in the parking lot, so they already managed to call in reinforcements. The truck Quinn speared the commander’s head on is gone, which makes sense. The two-story building is dark, which is not surprising since they have tint on the window to make it look like it’s abandoned. The top floor is mostly empty bar some bunks for hunters, the second floor is for supply and drop, and the basement floor is their command centre.
I meet Vale’s eyes, and he nods, his fingers moving in a circle. We have hunted together so long that we can speak without words, and I understand immediately. “Stay here. We are going to check the perimeter and mark new traps and set our own.” I kiss her and leave her with her wolves. Lucien goes left to wrap around the building, and Vale goes right.
Me? I go straight ahead.
I know the cameras’ blind spots, since we helped fit them, and despite our best efforts, there are always blind spots. I keep to them now, and in the spots where they can see me, I crawl under cars. When I’m under one of the bigger trucks, I flip over onto my back and pull my bag closer, reaching inside for a toy. With careful, deliberate movements, I attach it to the undercarriage.
Once I’m sure it’s set, I check the detonator before grabbing my bag and shimmying to the next car. Luckily the idiots parkclose to each other so I can just sneak under one after the other without anyone being the wiser.
Want to hurt a hunter? Destroy their pride and joy—their truck.
They live on the road, so they have no home but their trucks and cars. Yeah, they become an extension of themselves, so not only will this be a distraction, but a kick in the teeth.
I’m not sure how long I spend moving from vehicle to vehicle and planting our little toys, but I barely break a sweat. Once I’m done, I flip to my front under the last car, eyeing the short distance to the building when I see a tripwire. It runs the length of the front door, idiots. Like we are planning to just bust in and say hello.
Leaving it there since it’s not important, I start the arduous task of crawling back to the tree line without being spotted. When I get there, Vale and Lucien are already waiting. “How did you do?”
I grin. “All rigged and ready to party.”
Vale nods. “Good. I disabled the alarms at the back door as well as the security system.”
Lucien grins. “I added some booby traps just in case.”
“What about the roof?” Quinn murmurs. “Do they set traps there?”
“No.” I snort. “No one is crazy or skilled enough to get up there without being seen.”
“Until us.” She smirks, and I groan as I rearrange myself, that smug sentence going right to my cock. “Okay, this is the plan?—”
We listen and prepare.
It just might fucking work.
I can almost taste the blood in my mouth.
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
It’s time. We waited hours for the sun to set because unlike us, they can’t see in the dark. It leaves them vulnerable and weak. They will be preparing to attack, not waiting for one. That element of surprise will give us the win we need. I’m sure of it.
I turn to Quinn as she nods at me, grab her head, yank her closer, and kiss her hard. She gasps into my mouth before I pull away. “See you inside, beautiful.”
“See you there,” she rasps, watching me for a moment. I watch her right back before I nod at my brother. With Jai at my side and the fifteen wolves who chose to come with us, I start the task of moving through the trees to get into position at the back door, knowing timing is everything.
I see Quinn moving into position with her wolves and Vale, and we wait.
The moon is high in the sky, and when she gives us the nod, Jai pulls out the detonator.
He grins a mad smile as he mouths, “Boom,” and hits the switch.
The first explosion rocks the earth, the flames of a truck reaching higher than the building.
