Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,20

thought was beneficial in this prime moment.

Sensing the movement to my left, I ducked in time to avoid the swift kick directed at my head. My fist was already hitting the first mark. The masked man grunted at the punch before my gun took its place and I pulled the trigger.

His grunt was silenced by my spinning kick that sent him flying into the wall, and I was already moving forward to the office that was being riddled with bullets.

Getting inside was easy. Making sure I didn't get shot in the process was a pain in the ass. I wanted to make sure I looked sharp for later in the day, and I'd rather not deal with a few bullet holes. Healing them wouldn't be a problem, but no shifter could get away without phantom pain.

That was just a fucking cunt of a bitch to deal with.

There were still too many bullets coming from the corners of the room, and I was ready to end this game of stray bullets.

"Elda Le Va Ru."

I caught onto the spell and immediately ducked and placed my hands on my ears - dimming the sudden sound that replicated a hymn of praise in a church. The bullets lessened until they stopped, replaced by silence.

My eyes immediately darted around the hole-ridden room, from the desk to the sculptures that had been practically destroyed in the crossfire. That wasn't what I was looking for, but my eyes finally locked onto the slight pop in the bookshelf. Viktor's eyes locked onto mine as I quickly nodded my head for him to venture out with our possession.

Roberto.

Viktor kicked the secret door open, and he and Roberto ran out to observe the lull of movement from our enemies.

"Cover your ears," Viktor ordered Roberto, and though I could see the flicker of defiance in his eyes, he did what was asked of him. The look reminded me a bit of Willow and her inability to follow orders that weren't her own, but I dismissed the thought just as fast.

Not time to lust over her.

The two of them were at my side in seconds, and I pointed to the stair exit.

"It's secure. Jayce has the getaway car ready. Meet at the coordinates you'll receive shortly."

"Still ten more," Viktor warned.

I’d already acknowledged the very quiet footsteps coming from the roof. "Neo will handle it," I assured him.

He bobbed his head and, deciding there was nothing left to address, he tugged on Roberto's arm in haste to rush out the door and head to the stairwell. This wasn't the place for me to emphasize the debt Roberto owed us for interfering, and thus, the reason why he'd be escorted to the safety vehicle where I'd be able to lay out my rules before releasing him back into the wild like a stray wolf.

For someone who was supposedly the strongest Alpha on the block, he was rather weak and cowardly in nature.

Saint's singing voice came to a stop, and I felt his presence next to me as he had his hands in his pockets.

"The roof," I noted.

"I know," he replied. "I suggest we stand right at the doorway."

Right

I took three steps back, as did Saint. The two of us stood on each side of the broken doorframe just as the roof literally caved in - revealing ten men darting down with zip lines that gave them the perfectly smooth transition to fall to the ground while shooting all over the place.

I didn't even move or flinch as bullets riddled the office. Saint and I were not even close to being in the crossfire aimed for everywhere within the room. To say these guys were amateurs would be more of a compliment than I could verbally give.

We're seriously dealing with complete idiots.

"The door!" their commanding leader declared, and all eyes were on us as we casually stood there. Saint still had his hands in his pockets and I'd already slipped my guns back in their holsters and had my arms crossed while I leaned against the remaining cement of the wall.

We must have looked bored enough to actually make them stall as if we weren't even enemies.

"W-Why the fuck are you stalling?!" the commander screamed.

"W-W-Well, they're just standing there!" a brave shooter stated the obvious.

"Are you fucking stupid?! KILL THEM!" The man decided to take his own assault rifle and do the deed himself, his eyes locking onto my calm ones as he readied to pull the trigger.

The clicking sound echoed around the silent room,
