“Thank you for dinner too, that was amazing.” Ada rubbed her belly as if she were extremely satisfied. Come on kid, don’t be lured in by food and pretty words! You’re in danger here.
“Our pleasure.” Was it just me, or did that guy sound so pretentious?
“So, what are we going to do now? Any plans other than just watching the moon?” One of the girls that was in the group clearly wanted something to happen right now. What was it that she had in mind?
“Well, I have something here for you to see.” This was it. I saw that man that was talking reach into his pocket for a device. This had to be when they were going to bespell the girls.
鈥楨veryone, prepare to move in now. They are about to use that tool on the girl.’ Riviana, address the whole group right now and we were already moving before he said the next words.
“Check this ou-.”
It was just as the man was about to click a button on that little tube in his hand that we all rushed forward and threw off the protection of the shadows and runes. It was a blitz attack that those men hadn’t been prepared for. I couldn’t see the second group and their reactions, but I could hear them. All twelve of these men were stunned and cried out in frustration or fear at the sudden appearance of over ten dozen supernatural beings.
“STOP RIGHT THERE!” I shouted as I ran forward, though I was hardly the only one that had called out at that moment.
“STOP!”
“DON’T YOU DARE PRESS THAT BUTTON!”
“FREEZE, ASSHOLES!”
“DROP IT!”
“HANDS OFF THE GIRLS AND IN THE AIR, DIRTBAGS!”
I swear, you’d think that some of these warriors that were with us thought that they were in a movie or something. Those lines were almost enough to make me laugh. If I wasn’t so tense and on edge at the moment, I might have laughed.
“K..K..King Joaquin?” I saw Ada’s shocked face as she saw Riviana and I running toward them. “Wh..wh..what are you doing here? What is going on here? Wh..wh..what is happening?” I could see that she was terrified, and she wasn’t the only one either. All of the girls were suddenly scared.
“Claud, what is happening?” One of the girls looked at the man that she was holding onto. This was the man that had grabbed that little tube and was going to bespell them.
“I am afraid that I don’t know what this is. I can assure you, we’ve done nothing wrong, so I don’t know why there are so many villainous people surrounding us at the moment.” Claud’s face was not scared at all. In fact, he was looking at me with excitement filling his eye. He might want those girls to think that he was scared, so his voice was shaking with false terror, but he knew who we were, and he thought that he was going to have the upper hand here.
“These people aren’t villains.” Ada explained to him. She was holding onto a different man and looking at Claud with confusion. “These people are like a giant extended family of ours.” She was trying to make it seem like we had a reason to be there, but she didn’t know what that reason was.
“Don’t worry, Ada. We’re here to save you all. These men here are dangerous. And we need you girls to step away from them right now.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
“Really?”
“Th..they are?”
“This can’t be.” The girls all had some sort of response, but it was the men that I was paying the most attention to. I just knew that something was going to happen. I just knew that they were going to try something here. They were evil assholes that were bent on world domination. It wasn’t hard to tell that they were going to do whatever it took to follow through with their plans.
I was watching closely as the men, each and every one of them, grinned maliciously at me and Riviana. Their eyes almost seemed to darken as if they were controlling the color with magic. Something was happening here that I didn’t understand at the moment. I doubted that Riviana knew what was happening either. I just knew that the moment that we had been waiting for was upon us. It was time to stop these men. It was time to make sure that each of these girls made it home safely and that they would be wiser in the end.

Evil looks, darkened eyes, and threatening postures. This is what we were all seeing in the men that were standing by the girls. Another thing that I saw though, was that the girls were listening to me. They all looked uneasy and seemed to want to get away from those men.
The girls all started to pull away from them and run toward me and the others. The problem though was that Ada and one of the other girls had been hanging onto the men when this all started to go down, and those men decided that they were going to keep those girls in place.
“You’re not fucking going anywhere.” Claud was glaring at me as he growled at the girl.
“LESLIE!” One of the girls that got away called out to her. “ADA!” She called as the girl that I recognized was lifted off of her feet and held against the chest of the man that was holding onto her.
…..
“They aren’t going anywhere, King Joaquin. You seem to know why we’re here, and you know that we can’t just let them go. That isn’t how this works.” Claud was their leader at the moment. He was the one that was talking the most, and he was also the one that I had heard on the recording the other day. He was the one that was riling their group up like they were villagers about to form an angry mob to take out the big bad monster that lived in the scary castle on the mountain. I didn’t like how part of that was actually true. You know, all except the scary monster part.
“Let them go, Claud.” Riviana glared at the man as she inched forward.
Oh, I was so tempted to pull her back and to put her behind me. As her mate, her husband, and an Alpha King, I just couldn’t stand to see her put herself into harm’s way like that. Then again, if I did that, trying to hide her away from the bad guys like that, I would just be putting myself into harm’s way. And I am not talking about any of the Jaegan. I would be at risk of my Little Bunny taking her anger and frustrations out on me. No, I was better off letting her do what she did best. And that was saving the day while giving me a heart attack. It was so damned stressful being mated to her sometimes. Ninety-nine percent of the time it was bliss, that other one percent was when we were in an active battle situation and she was the one that always got wrapped up into the most dangerous part of the fights. It was so fucking scary.
“No, Mongrel Monster Bitch.” Claud used one hell of a nickname for my Little Bunny, and I was tempted to rip his head off for it. “I don’t think that I will let her go. Not until she is dead anyway. And it was so nice of you to come all the way down here and show yourself in person. I intend to kill you and your husband as well.” There was a manic sort of energy that was radiating off of that man as he spoke.
“You won’t get the chance to kill me or those girls. This is the end of the line for you, Claud. You are under arrest.”
