side,”
Stratton stated in his deep, authoritative voice.
“Just so you know, there were others around when your men grabbed her in the parking lot.”
“What others?”
“Some members of the Sinclair pack, including Sierra McFay.”
“The Sinclairs, huh? That’s interesting. I heard that Valco found his mate with a McFay. Interesting that it was Lexi’s best friend, Sierra. That lucky bastard will be expanding his pack even more once they officially join.”
“So you knew about Sierra?”
“Of course. Those two were always together. I thought for sure that Lexi would eventually seek Sierra out. I underestimated Lexi, just as my enemies have thus far. They have to be fuming right now to think I have her captive.”
“There’s something you should know.”
“Yes?” Stratton asked as he waited for Andy to finish.
“I think that Paul Sinclair believes Lexi is his mate.”
Andy listened to the silence on the other line. He knew that wasn’t going to sit right with Stratton. His plan was to force Lexi to mate.

Although Andy had no idea why he wanted to mate a human so badly, Stratton must have ulterior motives.
“Keep them away from her! You understand me? I will try to get the boat to arrive sooner. I’ll call you back.”
Andy heard the click on the other line and closed up his cell phone. Stratton was obviously pissed.
Andy gave the orders for the men to man their stations throughout the building and outside. “If anyone approaches, kill them,” he ordered as he watched Lexi slowly awaken.
She was temptation in its finest form lying on the bed with her breasts overflowing the bodice of her dress. The slit in the dress on her thigh was ripped farther up her leg. He assumed that was caused from the struggle in the parking lot. She had put up quite the fight.
Her bruised lip and black eye showed evidence of her failure to fight off three weres.
She moved around and struggled to focus.
“Lie still, Lex. Don’t fight your fate. We’re leaving in a few hours,” Andy stated, letting his finger glide over her lips, across her jaw, then down her neck. He loomed over her, staring at her abundant breasts, wanting nothing more than to rip the bodice open and suck on every inch of her.
“I wouldn’t touch her if I were you.”
Andy smirked at the guard who remained in the room. “I didn’t ask you,” he replied.
“I got my orders, and they come from the top.”
“Keep your mouth shut, and you might make it out of this mission,” Andy replied as he gave in to the temptation to fondle her breasts.

“I see two men stationed at each entrance to the building. Plus three on the rooftop,” Paul stated through the telepathic connection with his brother.
Paul assigned two men each to take care of the guards on the exits by motioning with his hands and two fingers.
“ I got the roof,” Saber stated in a deep, commanding voice.
“Holy shit, you’re here? You found us?” Paul replied, surprised.
“ Good to have you here, brother,” Andre added.
“Let’s get a move on it. I’m tired, been traveling for days, and the ranch is calling my name,” Saber calmly stated .
Paul smirked. It was good to have his brother back. Leave it to him to be so calm during such an intense situation. Those guys on the roof had no inkling what was about to happen.
Paul gave the signal, and everyone moved in. It was a quick attack. In a matter of seconds, they had the guards removed and the location of the room where Lexi was. They weren’t sure how many people were in there, so they took a few seconds to figure it out.

Lexi heard someone talking to her until the intense pain consumed her. Her face, her eye, and her chin felt sore, and her head began to throb. Slowly she tried to open her eyes, but the shadow in front of her was a blur.
“That’s it. You like that, don’t you?” the shadow whispered, and she recognized the voice
