I was violently pushed forward by some invisible force at my back, my body crashing into Torvic’s.

And then there was nothing.

Chapter

Nineteen

Sebastian

I stared at my cousin—fucking Adryan—and then looked at Kane. Both held the same hard expressions. I was sure it was the same as the one I was sporting.

“Mated,” he murmured and grinned. “About fucking time, cousin.”

I narrowed my eyes at him and shook my head. I mulled over what they’d just told me. “Abso-fucking-lutely not.”

The impatience from being stalled from getting to Ada ran hard in me, but the story he’d just told me, how he got here, and what his plans were to get us out, had momentarily shocked me so that I stood there frozen.

He had ten males with him, five flanking each side, with Kane at his right standing beside him. There was also a willowy-looking male beside Kane.

The scrawny male was a witch, that much I could smell from him even before Adryan had told me who he was.

“This is who is gonna save my ass?” I glanced at the witch, who’d called himself Sherbet. “He’s named after damn ice cream.”

There was a snicker among the vampires, but with a low growl from Adryan, they shut up.

Sherbet appeared to be more at ease in a dusty old library than out in the middle of fucking nowhere in a parallel dimension.

“That’s right,” Adryan said. “He’s the one who’s gonna save all our asses and get us out of this hellhole.”

I ran my palm over my face, feeling so damn exhausted.

I dropped my hand to my side and looked at Adryan. He could be a big pain in my ass, was stubborn as fuck, and known as a sociopath, but here he was. He’d left his mate—the most important person in his twisted life—to come here and rescue my ass.

It was touching if I allowed myself to feel anything for anyone else aside from Ada.

I thought about my own mate.

“I’m not leaving without her.” I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at my cousin. For a moment he just stared at me, that apathetic expression on his face, something that the majority of people are unable to read.

People didn’t go against what Adryan said. He was just too much of a menacing motherfucker, and they pissed themselves just being in his presence. But I wasn’t afraid of him, and he knew that.

And when it came to Ada, I’d go up against anyone and anything. She was my priority. Not even loyalty to Kane or Adryan topped that.

But I’d been around him my entire life. I knew him well enough to understand that he was just as stubborn as I was and used to getting his way.

“I told you, you don’t have to leave without her.” He lifted his chin toward the witch. “Explain how it’s gonna go down, Sherbet.” He smirked, and I knew the asshole found the witch’s name fucking funny, too. “All we have to do is get started and get the fuck out of here.”

Adryan glanced around the forest and snarled in disgust. “This place fucking sucks, Sebastian. It’s hot, humid, and it smells weird.” He glanced back at me, his eyes flashing red. “And I want to get back to Kayla.”

I shook my head and clamped my back molars together.

“And I want to get to my fucking mate, Adryan.” When I snapped out of my initial shock that my cousin and brother were actually standing here, everything had gone at fucking light speed. It was very clear their impatience to get out of here was running the show.

Apparently time in this dimension rolled by a lot differently than time where we were from. Whereas it felt like only a few days had passed being here, it had actually been weeks.

Fucking weeks.

“We saw the footage of the drones the Lycans had secured above the Assembly facility in Vermont after we’d taken it out,” Kane said easily.

I thought back to when we’d attacked the underground horror house the humans of that insane organization had owned. I wanted to kill them all over again.

“Then Rory, the Lycans’ resident tech wiz, did more intel and digging on the other facility in Europe that had been blown the fuck up.”

My muscles contracted as I thought about the other underground facility I’d been taken to after we’d destroyed the one in Vermont.

“Odhran had escaped, told us all he knew, and that’s why we were heavily digging around on what the fuck really happened.” Adryan was the one to speak, but my mind was on Ada being trapped there… how she’d been tortured.

“The Lycans said there was hella interference in the drone feeds from that European facility.” Kane spoke again. “But we realized that’s not what it was at all.”

I glanced up and stared at my brother. We looked so similar, and with Kane being only a year older, we often were mistaken for twins.
