Chapter 28
Liam POV
I’m in the study doing some basic tasks for Conrad. I always have to when this council meeting is on. I don’t mind as it’s better than being in that meeting. I always stay up to talk to Conrad when the meeting is over as he normally needs a scotch and a friendly face after.
My cock twitches as soon as I see Mish is calling me. She must really miss me as all the messages exchanged lately are about when she can come back and what she wants to do when she does. I’m not going to deny my little red. I pick up to answer.
“Hey little red”.
She’s yells down the phone in a panic. “Liam help. They have come to get Eve”.
She starts crying and my heart sinks. I hear a gunshot followed by all the girls screaming. I need Conrad.
I ran down the hall and burst into the meeting.
“Eve’s under attack”.
He instantly stands and starts moving towards me. He ignores that tool Donovan’s protest.
Conrad just snarls back. “The meeting is done, I said no and it is not open for discussion. I’m going to go get my mate”.
We have mind linked the rest of the soldiers from central and north team and they are meeting us at the barracks. The girls are two hours by car but 20 minutes by helicopter. We take two. I’m going with north team and Conrad is going with central team.
We are in the air in less than 5 minutes and are going full speed to them. I stayed on the phone with Mish the entire time.
Michelle is still crying and hyperventilating on the phone so I try to calm her down and reassure her. Valen is panicking inside me. Worried we won't get to her in time but we know we have to stay calm.
“Michelle baby girl. If you want me to come get you I need to know where you are”.
“I don’t know”. She cries between so sobs.
“What were you doing when they attacked”.
“We were at home. They’re going to get Eve”. She sounds terrified.
“No they’re not. We coming. I can hear an engine. Are you in your car”.
“Yes. Willow is driving”. Good. She is trying to focus.
“That’s great baby girl. Can she see any signs”.
“We’re on the freeway going fast as Eve told us to”.
“OK baby, I’m coming”.
I mind link Conrad and explain Eve is by herself as she protected the girls by sending them away. We split up. I go to get my girl and he is going to get his.
We look at the map of the local area and realize that one of the exits leads to a country road. It’s much quieter so we could land and get them quicker.
“Baby girl. Have you passed exit 73 yet”.
“I don’t know”. She sounds so scared. I have to keep it together.
“I can come get you at exit 73 so I need to know if you can get there”.
“Willows says it’s coming up”.
“Great. Turn down that road. You will be on a country road and we will see you. We are in a helicopter so we will be right above you OK”.
“Ok. Please hurry”.
We wait over the road and then see the little silver car come into view. There is also a black van following them. We decide to land further up the road so we can ambush whoever is in the car.
“Baby girl we see you. We’re going to land up ahead and come get you. There is someone following you so you need to keep the car moving. Stop the car just after the big bend coming up. You will see us”.
“They will get us if we stop”. She starts crying harder.
“No they won’t. I will be on that corner”.
We land the helicopter and leave minimal lights on so the girls can see it. We all move into formation. We picked the corner so we could surround the enemy when they came into view.
I mind linking all the soldiers. “No kill shots if you can. I want them alive”.
“Yes, Beta” is all I hear back. And now we wait.
We hear the car coming at a speed.
“I can hear the car baby girl. This corner. Start to put the brakes on and I will see you in a minute”.
I hang up the phone. I need to focus on this.
The little silver car comes screeching to a halt when Willow slams the breaks on when the girls see the helicopter. They all stay in the car stunned. And then the black van comes up behind them.
We surround the van and shoot out the windows so we can get to the two wolves driving. They reach for their weapons but they are shot with two rounds of high-voltage taser guns. The teams move in to open the van doors and put silver cuffs on both.
Once they are secure I run to the car to get Michelle and the other girls. I pull Michelle out for a hug and then pull Kimberly out. I hold both girls as I look at Willow. She is in shock and just holding onto the steering wheel looking ahead with a blank face.
“Baby girl. I need you to go wait in the helicopter so I can sort all this out”.
“No don’t leave me”. She starts to cling to me for dear life.
“I’m not leaving. I’m right here. I need to help Willow and get the transport vehicle here. I’m not leaving”.
The other soldiers have to help get the girls off me and into the helicopter. I get Willow and guide her over to the helicopter and get her in. She is still in shock.
I call the transport vehicle that left when we did and they are on route to us now. They will be here in 30 minutes. We will have to be on guard till then.
I go back to the helicopter and hold my shaking girl as a wave of relief washes over me. I’m just glad I could protect her and can hold her again. I just pray that Conrad can get to his in time.
