Kane came over to them. He’d parked on the side of the road behind them. Kane passed a device to Rane, who leaned down and taped the device on Eve. “The tracking device is on so we can follow.”
The others joined them and Kane took over as Rane watched the skies. “Jamie’s going to stay here for the girls who hopefully are about to land. The rest of us are going to follow Eve. Don’t go inside, wait for all of us before you try and save the day.”
As Kane finished, Kirby and a couple of the girls flew in on minions. His sister looked worn out, her eyes were bloodshot, her skin white, and she could barely hold herself up as the minions dropped the girls on the ground, hovering just above them. The men killed the minions as Kirby collapsed to the ground.
Logan ran to his sister to help her, Stacy, Faith, and Sara. Duke looked around and roared, “Where’s Lexie?”
Hayden went white. “Where’s Sandra?”
The worst reaction of all was Arden. He pushed Logan out of the way and yelled at Kirby, “Where’s Remy? Why didn’t you help her?” Arden went to grab her, but Logan and Rane snatched him.
Rane snarled, “Keep it together, Arden. Touch my mate and I will kill you.”
Tears ran down Kirby’s face as she sobbed out, “I tried to get her, but there were too many. Two demons held her even though they were on fire, screaming in agony. We were overrun, and the humans kept shooting them, which only made them grow bigger and get faster.”
Kane moaned when Faith let out a scream and pushed at him. “We need to leave now. The demons are going to move them to a different location soon. They’re using portals. Quick, you guys need to go. We’ll wait with Jamie for the van. Whatever you do don’t let them open a portal.” Faith turned to Logan and his brother. “Logan, Hayden, you need to channel Lexie’s earth power. Move walls on them, to get to them. They’re in two rooms.”
Faith then walked over to Griffen and hugged him, and he barely caught what she said. “I hope fate doesn’t change something. I don’t think she can live through any more. Be patient with her. She’s sorry.”
Griffen’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment before he shook his head and ran back to the car.
Logan watched as Kane hugged the very pregnant Faith and froze.
“Fuck! Faith, how long have you been having these?”
She winced and her whole body vibrated. “Not long.”
Kane growled, “Jamie, you go with them. I have to stay with Faith and try and stop her contractions. It’s too early for the baby to come. Sara, get over here and breathe with her.”
Four of the six cars were already revving, just waiting for Rane to lead, who was looking longingly at Kirby. “I want to hold you so bad, little red. But if I do, I won’t let go. Stay safe, and stay with Kane.”
Kirby nodded. “Good luck, and I love you.” She shot a glance at Logan and whispered, “Be careful.”
They got back in the Ferrari and took off. Rane sped around corners and shot down a rocky road. The Ferrari struggled on the rough road. Finally Eve stopped, the flashed blip still in the one spot.
“How did she find them so easily? If she can find them why haven’t you found the other demon hideouts?”
Rane’s knuckles were white and he didn’t answer him at first, then he seemed to grit out between clenched teeth. “You know I didn’t want to leave Kirby, but my sister…your mate…” He let out a big breath. “Eve’s very good at what she does, she’s one of our best trackers. It helps that her and Ava are twins, they’ve always seemed to have a certain bond. They tend to know when the other was hurt, or sad. And demons leave a trail behind them—the sulphur smell. We’ve never really had to track them before, because we kill them all and none escape, but we can track them in our wolf form if the trail is fresh, like a couple of hours old.”
Logan nodded and tried to calm his racing heart. He prayed they got to the hideout in time. “We’re going to have to find Lexie first. I can’t hold other people’s powers for long without them being in arm’s reach, touching me or Hayden.”
Rane swerved and went down a long, winding track on the opposite side of the road. “Hold on, human. This is the quickest way.”
Logan gripped the seat and wished they could fly. “Why don’t you have a helicopter or some sort of plane? This is taking forever. Faith said we haven’t got long.”
Rane snarled at him, “They will be fine. They have to be fine. I’m driving as fast as I can. We don’t have an airplane because werewolves do not do good off the ground. Eve is the only werewolf I know who can stand it. When we have to fly, we take stuff to calm us and we usually hire our own private jet, but we very rarely travel. Water’s the same, although we can stand that better and like swimming but that’s more our human side.” Rane swerved around more cars and got back on the right side of the road for a moment, then turned down another gravel road. The blip on the tracking system was close now.
