“Are you even paying attention?”

“Nope. Now if you wouldn’t mind fucking off and taking your lackeys with you. We were in themiddleof something,” Neri snarled.

“No, you’re going tofuckinglisten!”

“Would you stopscreeching!”

The room went still and silent. All eyes were on Neri.

“For fuck’s sake, you’re inside, use your indoor voice, Zahava. How many times have I reminded you of that? You’re a fucking adult,actlike it.”

At her stunned silence, Neri’s brows drew down in concentration.

Axel, Gunnar, Ghost, and Hunter, move closer. When I nod, grab my arm. Ara and Jade, can you protect Silas and Thalia?

Both women made a microscopic movement in agreement as the three other men crowded closer to her.

We’re going up there and take them out. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of this bullshit.

Got it.

Yep, let’s do this.

Gunnar and Ghost responded, and she knew Hunter was already with her. Neri moved her gaze to Axel to see him smiling at her.

Anything for you, gray eyes.

Before they could execute their plan, Zahava snapped her fingers and all six shifters closed in on her position. One of them grabbed Zahava and before Hunter blinked, they disappeared.

“Now!”

They flashed up to the second floor landing and separated to search each room. Hunter opened the closet doors, looked underneath the bed, searched through the wardrobe in the corner, and checking the locks on the windows, finding nothing. He walked out into the hallway and Hunter knew he had the same disappointed look that mirrored theirs. But Ghost nodded as he walked out of the room on the corner.

“There is a ladder door in this room leading to the attic. There’s a hinged roof window. It’s not alarmed and you can jump onto the tall evergreen next to the house.”

“Another fucking vulnerability in my security system, great,” Kai growled.

“Everyone safe?” Ghost asked.

“Yeah, I locked down the house and turned on the perimeter alarms. I’ll add another alarm to the window and then place motion sensors on the room and on each balcony. It would be great if we can find that fucking woman and kill her and everyone associated with her, soon,” Kai grunted before he walked away.

“Now what?” Neri asked.

Ghost growled. “We plan. We gather as much information as possible, find their location, find out what they want, and destroy them.”

Hunter agreed.
