“We need more of us for this,” I squinted down at the compound, but it was who stood on the edge of the ridge that held my attention; Astennu.

Through the binoculars, I could tell he was scanning the enclosed chalet and finding us our best way in, a plan of attack forming in his mind. The entire drive up here, following his trail, my focus had been split between the road and our bond. We had seen each other tired from pushing our auras, but I had never seen my brother that wiped out. And on top of it all he ran for miles upon miles. I had half a mind to have knocked him out in the car and forcibly taken his place.

“No, I think if we strike quickly, we have the element of surprise,” Astennu lowered his hands, gripping the binoculars tightly at chest level. ‘And Ru? Quit staring, I’m fine.’

‘I found you out of it and bleeding. Every time we split up, you get injured.’

When I felt my shoulder burn, feeling his pain as my own as he faced Finley, a gaping fear festered away. I thought that could have been it. I knew he could win any fight that came his way, but it was the first time either of us had tasted the bitter vulnerability of mortality, that we weren’t impervious to harm. And neither time was I there to help him.

‘I pushed my aura, that was all,’ he swivelled his head back to me. ‘I ran up here just fine, didn’t I?’

“Can you two save your twin arguments for another time?” Catalina grouched, cursing in Spanish as she gave up on the devices in her hand. “Argh! We’ll have to go in without the earpieces. They aren’t charging fast enough and the two new ones to replace those we lost after we shifted are struggling with all the rock and tree interference.”

“Then we’ll have to rely on the mind-link and hope that’s enough,” my twin approached the SUV and I followed behind him, standing at his side as we formed a circle between the four of us. “Adrian, you’ll stay up here with that long-range rifle and watch our backs.”

“You’re leaving me behind?” He faked an overly dramatic sob. “After all the hours I dedicated to you as your fake mate, you’re breaking up with m-”

Catalina cut him off with a keen slap around the back of his head. “Shut up, tonto del culo (i***t).”

He cut her a sharp glare, rubbing the point of impact.

“As I was saying, Adrian,” Astennu could hardly keep a smug grin from his face. “You need to stay up here and watch our backs. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be the only one able to raise the alarm. No matter what, don’t come rushing to help. If we’re caught, you get out and you call Matías and Thiago when you have cell reception for backup. As Alphas,” he gestured between himself, me and Catalina. “We have value as hostages. You they could kill.”
