‘Be careful,’ Gio said and Hope chuckled.
‘I will, and I will let you know when I have the two below, then you come in. We will escape out of the shaft that leads to the south end of the facility, have someone there waiting for us to come out, I’m not sure if I can carry both of them too far and I don’t know their exact condition.’
‘Go on,’ Kade said and then he said to the others, ‘We give her ten and then we move. Everyone, get ready, you know your jobs. Get the captives out and back to the compound for evaluation.’
Calli and the girls all moved slightly so they could watch the area they were assigned. They began to focus on the mission at hand.
When the time came, Calli spoke first, ‘Two guards at the north, one at two o’clock one at six o’clock. Moving toward each other slowly.’
That was Gio and Mak’s section and both men moved quickly, they quietly cut the gate and slid in through the opening, which was covered by a bush, then they waited until the guards were close enough and they moved.
Gio grabbed the first guard by his head and twisted it fast, snapping his spine and killing him instantly. He dragged the body behind the bush and then waited. Mak went for the second guard who was larger, he wouldn’t be as easy as the first guard, so he changed his plan a little.
Hitting him quickly in the Adam’s apple cutting off his flow of oxygen, the guard doubled over. Mak then brought up his knee and he heard a crunch as he broke the guard’s nose. The man stumbled backwards but didn’t go down. Mak grabbed the gun, which had a strap, and pulled it off the man, taking a hold of the barrel he swung wide and brought the handle of the gun down on the man’s head hard. He collapsed and blood began pooling around his head.
Mak quickly dragged the man behind the bush as well and then looked at Gio. “We go to the side door.” Gio nodded and the two men took off, they could hear the others talking and knew they were taking out all of the guards who were walking the parameter. As they reached the side door, they paused and waited for only a moment to see if any more guards were being sent out. So far nothing, hopefully that meant no one was watching the cameras inside.
Slowly Gio opened the door and they slid in. No alarms were sounding, which was good. Then they moved silently through the hallway, pausing at each door and waiting a second to make sure no one was going to come out. Finally, they made it to the stairs, which were in the center of the building. Damn, getting them up the stairs and out was going to be hard.
They moved quickly though, hearing the rest of the Drekinn following behind them, calling out in their minds as they reached the stairs and then the bottom. Mak and Gio waited until everyone was gathered. Kade, Phillip, Thomas, Dec, Nik, Brooks, Calix, and them. Then they began to move, the first in the line taking the first door and so on. Gio was the third and when he opened the door he almost lost it, his fangs dropped ready to freaking kill someone who had hurt this person so bad. It was a female, she was laying on her side and unconscious, which meant he was carrying her out of here. Her ankle was chained to the bed but Gio moved quickly and broke the links.
The woman moaned and whispered, “No more.”
“I am here to rescue you, not hurt you,” Gio whispered in her ear and the woman opened her eyes and looked at him.
“I know you,” she whispered and Gio leaned back a little and searched the woman’s face. She looked familiar but he didn’t know from where.
“We gotta get you outta here,” Gio said and lifted her up and the woman struggled a little.
“I can walk,” she mumbled and then Gio set her down and held her while she swayed on her feet and then finally steadied.
“Come on,” Gio muttered and led her out into the hall where the others had already gathered a few of the captive. Gio took the woman to the group that was standing there and then moved to another door.
The same thing happened, although this time it was a male, he looked at Gio and grinned and said, “It is about time.”
Gio rolled his eyes and by the time he exited the room, with the man who was also injured and shaky but walking, the rest of the captives and their team were at the base of the stairs and ready to move.
Just then, the alarm sounded, it was loud and screeching, and all of them moved quickly up the stairs. They had been found out. At the top of the stairs, five guards were waiting for them, all armed and all pointing their weapons at them. Phillip struck first, moving quickly to the man closest to him, grabbed the gun by the barrel and yanked. Then Kade and Dec moved and disarmed two more. Mak and Gio both blocked the captives from moving so they weren’t in the line of fire as they watched their team deal quickly with the guards. They could hear footsteps from behind them and Thomas called.
“Coming from behind us, we have to move.”
Kade yelled over his shoulder as he hit the guard hard with his fist and knocked him out. “Get them out of here, we will be right behind you.”
Gio and Mak nodded and moved the captives as quickly as they could to the door where they had come in.
As they exited they saw more guards running toward the front, hopefully that meant Victor and the others had gotten into the front gate and were causing a distraction there so they could sneak out the side. Gio heard a wolf howl and grinned, someone had shifted and was attacking in their wolf form. He bet the guards weren’t prepared for that.
Mak led the way as they made it back to the bush and then one by one pushed the captives through the opening. When they were all through and standing on the other side, Gio called to Rissa in his head.
‘We have to go back and help, come and get them, I’m sending them in your direction.’
‘We are already on the move,’ Rissa responded and Mak pointed them in the direction to go.
They turned and looked back. Kade and Phillip had come out of the door and were fighting with five more guards. Mak and Gio moved quickly toward where the exit was at that Hope should have been taking through the shaft. Simon was there waiting, and he was also fighting off four guards, they joined the battle and soon the guards were all laid out around them. Gio threw off the cover to the shaft and looked down—nothing.
“Where the fuck is she?” Mak growled and then he tried to call her through the link. ‘Hope?’
No answer and Gio looked at his mate and frowned. “You think she got caught?”
Simon moved quickly and shifted, both men watched as an eagle appeared where Simon had been and then took off, flying straight up in the air and then smoothly turning and diving straight down into the opening of the shaft and disappeared.
The men turned and watched to make sure no threats were coming. It seemed like a lifetime passed as they waited. They heard a screech, it was the eagle, and both men turned and looked down into the shaft and prayed they would see something.
Simon appeared and he shifted quickly back. “She is not there, neither are the two people she went after. I have no idea where they are but they are gone. We have to move.”
Gio looked at the front of the compound, the others were still fighting off the guards. He turned and saw the woman, Rebekka, running for the SUV that was parked in the back.
“Look,” Gio yelled. Mak and Simon both turned and saw her get into the SUV and peel out of the parking lot. “Should we stop her?”
“Don’t have time,” Thomas said, coming to a halt next to them. “The place is equipped to self destruct, it has been activated, we need to get the fuck out of here.”
“Hope?” Mak snapped and looked back at the building.
“She is out,” Thomas snapped. “Walked right out the front doors with two men who looked like they could eat steel for breakfast. Stood in the front for like a second and then one of the guys grabbed her arm and they popped out of here. Have no idea where.”
Mak swore under his breath and Gio growled. “Let’s go, we need to find our mate.”
Chapter Eleven
They made it back to the compound, all of them, safe and only a few bumps and br
uises to show for it. Kade and Calli were in the entrance to the main building ordering everyone around. The place was deserted except for a few people they asked to stay and help. Thankfully the rest of the pack had already been moved to Colorado.
Rissa walked out of the communication room and yelled, “They are sending our search parties into the woods. The BIC—or Bitch in Charge—ordered a hundred Ulfer to the facility for clean up, and a search party. They are ordered to shoot and kill anyone they see.”
“We are going to have to leave here quickly,” Calli said and looked at the people they rescued. Most of them were wounded in one way or another, and although they had made the trek back to the compound, they were weak and shaky, they needed a little time to get some of their strength back.
Cherri moved quickly and said loudly, “I have supplement shots to help you gain your strength back, as well as the cook is preparing food.”
“One night,” Kade announced. “Everyone, we are moving in one night.”
“Where are we going?” one of the males asked weakly.
“Home,” Kade said and the man’s eyes widened. “We are going to Colorado, we have claimed the old training facility in Drake, and people are already there preparing for our arrival.”
Mak and Gio began to walk to Kade and talk to him about Hope when she was suddenly in front of them. She appeared with two other men, both looking strong and healthy, but they also had scars on their backs, like they had been whipped.
“Hope,” Gio snapped. “Where the fuck have you been?”
She turned and grinned. “Ummmmm.”
One of the men turned and stared at Gio and Mak with a glittering look in his blue eyes. Both men stilled, but they didn’t retreat, even though the man had what appeared to be a lot of power. Gio narrowed his gaze, trying to figure out what the hell the man was. He was a shifter, of that they were sure because they could see it in his eyes, but what kind was the confusing part. They had never seen eyes like his.
“She is safe, that is all you need to know,” the man growled and then prowled over to where the other captives were sitting and laying. He bent down and spoke in a low tone to them. “We all good?”
Several of the people looked like they knew the man, and the others looked confused but they nodded.
Hope walked to her mates, put her arms around them, and hugged them. “I am safe.”
“Where were you?” Mak growled.
The second man turned, he was skinnier but was strong, he grinned and winked at Hope.
“He popped us out of there to a hillside in Ireland.” Hope chuckled. “He was a bit disoriented apparently.”
“Okay, we need to get organized, but first we need to introduce ourselves. We would like to know your names as well,” Kade said and then continued when Calli went to his side. “My name is Marcus Kade Gevaudan, I go by Kade, and this is my mate, Calli. Obviously, you should recognize my last name. My parents were the Alphas of the Denver Pack and Calli’s were their Betas. Hope over there is my sister.”
The room of people was silent, the older captives were all grinning, but the four younger ones frowned. Gio watched and the woman he had rescued looked at Kade and Calli and then said loudly.
“My name is Tamera,” she said and then man next to her spoke then.
“My name is Vince.”
“My name is Cameron.”
“My name is Anthony,” the last one said and Rissa stepped closer to the man and glared at him and then yelled loudly.
“Seriously?”
The man looked at her and his eyes widened. “Lex?” he whispered.
“We need a board, damn it,” Rissa yelled and turned to Simon and Phillip and burst into tears. “He is my brother.”
*****
One last night in the house where it had all begun. The shifters they saved were too weak to travel yet so they had decided to remain here until morning when they would have help, in the form of several of the Sidhe who were returning to help transport.
The evening had been full of stories, thankfully Kiki and Syd were taking notes; it was too much to keep straight. One thing they had figured out though, was that Cameron, Vince, Tamera, and Anthony were children of the Chosen as well. The rest were members of the Denver Pack who had been traveling here to join the Drekinn like Ari.
When they finally retired into their room for the night Hope was exhausted, they all were, but that didn’t make any difference to her mates because they were still pissed she had disappeared.
“We agreed that you would make sure you could contact us at all times,” Mak growled at her.
“I was, right up until the very end, how was I supposed to know that he was going to pop us out of there?” Hope argued.
Gio made a noise and she turned to him, and her eyes widened. What the hell? He looked pissed off. “Do you not get that you are our mate, and therefore you are ours. So when you suddenly disappear we are going to be pissed off.”
Hope bit her lip, she was independent, had been like that for a long time and obviously she was going to need to start thinking about her mates more.
“I am sorry,” she whispered and walked to Gio and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him softly.
“Do you really think you will get out of trouble by just saying you are sorry?” Mak growled and she tuned and then walked to him and kissed him softly as well.
“I was kinda hoping,” she said seductively and then pulled their hands toward her and backed her way into the bedroom. “You know we are leaving here in the morning, we may never get back here again. This is like our honeymoon.”
Mak snorted and said, “Honeymoon from hell.”
“Come on,” she whispered. “There is something I haven’t got to see yet.”
Mak frowned and said, “What is that?”
Hope grinned and then laid back on the bed and put her hands behind her head and smiled. “My first porn show.”
The men grinned and then turned to each other. “You okay if I top?” Mak asked Gio.
“Yeah, but I will get that ass,” Gio said and grinned when Mak pulled him close and kissed him hard.
They were good together, their hard muscles rippling as they took their clothes off quickly. Gio felt he had died and gone to heaven when Mak reached down, fisted both of their cocks with one of his large hands, and began to pump them up and down. Holy shit, that felt so fucking good, he thought. He turned his head and watched as Hope stripped just as fast and then settled herself back against the pillows and took her hand, slipped it between her legs, and began matching their pace. Fuck that was sexy.
Mak branded Gio’s mouth again in a deep kiss. He could almost feel the steam coming off them, as Mak turned him around so he faced Hope and pushed him to the bed until he was at the edge, Hope turned sideways so she was laying perpendicular to them, then Mak made Gio brace his hands on either side of her body and she grinned up at him.
Mak got the lube then began stretching him for the taking. Gio closed his eyes and then he felt a hand wrap around his cock. He opened his eyes and watched as Hope pumped him while she continued to rub her clit with her other hand. Then she released him and reached up, cupping her breast, and held it up to him. He leaned further down and began nipping at it as she sighed. Once again, the connection began to throb between them and he felt the threads begin to intertwine with each other tighter, reaffirming their bond. He moaned when Mak breached him, and began to move a little forward and backward at a fast pace.
“You are mine, both of you are my mates, I will never get enough of you. I love you,” Gio gritted out as Mak began to slam faster and harder, burying himself balls deep into his ass.
"Fuck, I'm not going to last in your tight hole, Gio. You fit around my cock like a glove. I love you, both," Mak growled.
Mak pulled out, leaving just the head of his cock inside Gio and then slammed back in one final time, yelling out his release. He leaned on Gio’s back, taking them to the bed as Hope brought herself to clim
ax at the same time, yelling her love for them as well. In such a short time, they all felt the love as it surrounded them.
“We aren’t done with you yet,” Mak growled then turned to Hope and Gio chuckled.
“Not by a long shot.”
Gio slid a finger into her pussy as he kissed Mak and pumped it in and out of her a few times before adding another finger. She gasped while still watching them. Mak pinched her nipple then with the speed of a shifter moved his hand down to join Gio’s. One of them pressed a finger to her clit and they both put their fingers in her while never breaking their kiss.
In and out they moved, bringing her to the edge of climax. She could feel the tingling in her thighs and she bit her lip, not wanting them to realize she was about to go over for fear they would stop. They felt her pussy beginning to pulse, both pulled out, and then ended the kiss looking down at her.
She growled and pounded her hands on the bed in frustration. “I need someone in my pussy right now!”
Both her men laughed and Mak said, “How about that sweet ass, would you like it if Gio fucked your sweet pussy, while I take your ass?"
Hope looked at them with desire. The need filled her and she nodded. The pleasure they had already given her surpassed everything that she had ever felt. She could feel the connection with both of them, and she was ready to reconnect with them all together.
Gio pulled himself up to the bed and settled against the headboard, then patted his lap. Hope grinned and crawled to him and began to move up his body. She paused for a minute, kissing her way up his body slowly, making sure she touched exactly where she wanted before they took control. She felt the sting of the slap on her right ass cheek and looked over her shoulder at Mak, who was grinning at her.
Mak grabbed her hips, put her into place, and said, “Oh, you can play later, baby, I need to fill this ass.”
Hope nodded but grinned mischievously, turned, and then reached out and took Mak’s cock in her hand, letting him know that she trusted everything he was going to do to her. Mak let his head fall back and he moaned his appreciation of her touch. She licked the tip a little, tasting the small bead of cum that was on the slit. She groaned and took him into her mouth slowly, stretching her lips around the large head. He held her hair with his hand and pumped into her mouth slowly, pushing only as far as she could take him and then pulling back, allowing her to use her hand to stroke him fully.
