"You would have tried to kill her if I hadn't hauled you out of there," he scolds. "You're supposed to be making allies not threatening to kill them.

"She wanted to keep Jordan there. I am not leaving Bunny's guy there to be fondled or fanged by f***king vampires. You saw the same thing I did. You heard what Dash said. I'd gladly kill any of them to get him out and she questioned me.

"Did you hear what she said to me? Do you really think I'm going to let that slide because we're friends? F****k that. I used to let her get away with it when the old man owned me," I growl. "She can lick my whole **le now,"

Jordan can barely contain himself in the back seat. The adrenaline in my system is making me jumpy and my wolf wants out. I grip the necklace around my neck to remind her that if she were to shift we die before we can see this through. It works just barely enough for me to try and calm myself.

"I just want to thank you," he says through his laughter. "I really thought you were going to leave me there. I was going to lock myself in a bathroom,"

"Yeah, that wasn't going to help,"

The King laughs. I head back to the bridge and I don't see any unexpected acquaintances again.

u're not a little bit curious about that?"

"It's better not to know," I shrug. "You're not supposed to ask or see what's in the package. It's one of the biggest rules they enforce in basic training," "Is it one of your least favorite rules?"

"No, it's one of the rules I actually like. You deliver and they do what they would with their package, it has nothing to do with you. You walk away without knowing anything. My least favorite rule is the absolution of an order. There's no I can't do this. You can't give back what you've taken. The only way out is death. Yours or-" I probably shouldn't be admitting to this. "Or?" Jordan asks.

'Or the offering to replace the order you refuse,"

"Have you ever refused?"

Can you please not make this harder than it has to be?" I reach into the back seat to get the duffle bag I tossed back there before I knew Jordan was coming with us. Inside are some paralyzer darts, my mask, and my guns. I twist the silencers on and tuck the guns into my holsters. I take a couple of deep breaths and reach for my mask.
