Okay that was freaky. I’d never done that before.
I swallowed hard, a bit shaken, and glanced around the room. The other guards had been killed or subdued.
“Damn, where can I find a woman like that?” Luka appraised me with pride. My gaze ran over his tattoos.Five Crewwas printed in big block letters across his collarbone. I looked at Sawyer’s collarbone. Then Walsh. Then the fey and troll. They all had the same thing. This was Sawyer’s pack.
I’d accepted Marmal and Sage as my pack. And this was how Sawyer got through the last year. I wasn’t going to be a prick just because I hated vampires.
Sawyer grinned. “I told you she was amazing.”
Luka bowed before me, taking my hand into his and lightly kissing the top. “My lady Alpha, I am forever in your debt.”
Whoa.Was it hot in here or…? This charmer was nothing like the cold vampires I had met. I squirmed under his gaze and nodded as he released my hand.
“A friend of Sawyer’s is a friend of mine,” I told him.
He chuckled. “I know you hate my kind. That’s okay. My family is a bunch of douchebags.”
“Family?” I asked, cocking my head to the side.
Sawyer cleared his throat. “We should get out of here.”
Right.
“I’m Talon,” the troll dude said. He was a giant guy, standing well over six feet tall and looked like he was cut out of stone.
“Bennett.” The fey male saluted me. “Thanks for the save.”
All of the men in Sawyer’s little crew were extremely good looking and I knew Marmal and Sage would have no qualms about spending the next few days with them.
I nodded. “Well met.” We walked over to the busted-out window just as an alarm rang throughout the prison.
Sage.
They had finally figured out there was a prison break going on.
“Lockdown procedures commence now. We have an active infiltration,” a robotic female voice said over the loudspeaker.
“Go!” I shouted just as Pearl appeared in front of the window in all her glory.
“Holy fuck,” Luka breathed beside me. Bennett and Talon wasted no time leaping onto Pearl’s back, with Marmal’s help to steady them, as I bent down to my wolf.
“You have to make sure they don’t give Sage another injection. It will be easier to get her out if she’s not unconscious. Chew through the binds on her hands and feet and we’ll fly down right now and get you both out.”
She nodded and then took off, going ghostly as she plowed through the wall.
“Babe!” Sawyer called to me, and I looked up. We were the only two left. He reached out his hand to me. I slipped my cuffs back on and took his outstretched arm.
“Hey, take us with you!” a male snapped behind me. I craned my head to see the rest of the guys who’d been working out when the whole fight began. The one who had spoken was a tall vampire and he was holding a sleek handgun he’d stolen from the guard. His cuffs were still on, which let me know Sawyer hadn’t shared the key with them.
‘These pricks have been trying to kill me since the day I got here,’Sawyer growled into my head.
I grabbed Sawyer’s offered hand. “Sure thing. Let me just check in with my friend,” I told him, and stood.
He lifted the gun, and then Sawyer’s arms came around my waist, yanking me backward as he jumped. I sailed through the air, landing on top of Sawyer as we both hit Pearl’s gigantic back, hard. Marmal and Sawyer’s crew held us in place just as the gun clicked. I steeled myself, ready to catch bullets or whatever magical shit I would need to, but then nothing happened.
“Needs the guard’s fingerprint, youasshole,” Luka called out.
Sawyer grinned viciously. “Enjoy the next fifty years knowing we got out.”
