Fuckfuckfuck.
“Guys!” Hunter screams from far away.
He found her.
Please say he found her.
I sprint, following his shout to the back of the boat where a submarine pod hangs over the water and Noelle Patrick sits against the wall with a forehead gash and a sickening smirk.
Her expression doesn’t last.
Not when five of us close in, each more feral than the last.
When I catch her omega scent—that sickening floral—my hackles raise and the sound that rips out my throat is half howl.
Enemy.
“Where. Is. Lilah.” Atlas’s bark is a punch to the liver.
Noelle curls into herself, clubbed by his dominance. But even though she’s trembling, her scent sour with fear, that fucking smirk. “She went overboard.”
“Tracker?” Hunter whirls.
Jett lifts his phone and dies, light leeching from his eyes. “Signal’s gone.”
“Where…” I clutch my chest, focusing on the warm little blip in my chest, that flutters, faint as a firefly.
Atlas moves behind me, pressing his chest to my back, but there’s no comfort in his rumble—just the same anxious terror that has my fingers set at constant tremble.
No comfort, but…
Something else.
That firefly flicker glows a little brighter when Atlas lends me his strength.
I turn to the left.
Maybe I’m fucking crazy, but there’s this needy tug and… “I think I can find her.”
“Chopper, now!” Atlas hauls me to the pad. I jump into the cockpit while Hunter hops in the pilot’s chair.
Jett and Finn vault in behind us, swinging Noelle’s body like carry-on luggage. She slams to the floor with a moan just as Hunter takes us airborne, and by the time we’re cutting across the waves, the sound is a lung-tearing scream.
When I glance back, Jett’s tossing her sheared-off hair into the sea.
“Lose the extra weight!” Hunter yells.
Jett tosses Finn a knife.
In perfect psycho-unison, they sink blades into Noelle’s chest.
She stumbles back one, two, three steps and–
With a choked-off scream drowned in engine noise, she sails into open air.
We’re high enough that she hits the water like it’s concrete.
And you’d better fucking believe we all enjoy the splat.
