“How can you be sure?” I shake my head. “I think Sabrina will always be worried about me.”

“Of course, she will. She’s your mate. It’s kind of her job to worry, you know?” Marta looks at us each in turn and then she smiles.

“But this is it, boys. The next time we go out on a mission, it’s not going to be this bad or this deadly or this wild. It’s not going to be this terrible. Tonight’s mission is by far the very worst. Everything that happens next will be...well, it won’t be nearly as chaotic, that’s for damn sure.”

“Here, here,” Lee says with a wink.

Marta just sticks her tongue out at him.

I look at my little group and I smile. This is it. We’ve got this. We’re going to be okay because we’re all in this together and we have each other’s backs. I know that no matter how afraid we might be, we’re going to get this thing done because we’re a team, and we love each other.

“Everybody ready?” I ask.

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” Lee says.

“Nervous, but good,” Lawrence, ever the honest one, adds.

“Let’s end this thing,” Cameron agrees. He’s lost more than many when it comes to dealing with Lucky, but we’ve all been affected by this terrible organization. The woman who runs it is an evil bitch and I’m beyond ready to stop her.

“Let’s go over the plans one more time,” Marta says. “Just to be sure.”

We’re taking in a very small group because we’re doing two things: destroying their headquarters and destroying their reputation at the same time. With this sort of double-whammy, we should be able to attack the group’s headquarters at a time when the building is empty. Nobody should get hurt tonight.

Tonight is about ending their company: not about destroying the employees who work for someone they may or may not know is evil.

Marta helps us run over the plans again. Our plan of attack is very straightforward. In addition to the four of us going, we’ll be joined by four members of our sister-clan, Thunderstorm. Those members will attack one side of the building and we’ll get the other. With eight dragons attacking a corporate building in the middle of the evening, it’s my hope that Lucky, AKA Providential, won’t stand a chance.

And with the video that Marta and Jeremy will be releasing, the stock prices of Providential should absolutely plummet.

The world thinks that they’re doing their best to save the dragons. The human world, and even most of the shifter world, has no idea that Lucky is actually systematically hunting our kind.

Well, that all ends today.

It stops now.

Chapter Thirteen

Sabrina

They’ve been gone too long.

They’ve been gone for what seems like hours.

Maybe days.

I glance over at the clock and see that it’s only been about an hour and a half, and I realize that I’m going crazy.

This definitely isn’t going to work.

I’m losing my mind over something that I can’t control and it’s time for me to get my head back in the game.

“Knock-knock,” Reece is at the door to his bedroom. I’m sprawled out on his bed, doing my best to minimize the total freak-out I’m having.

“You don’t have to say knock-knock,” I point out.

“Made you smile, though.”

“A little.”
