“Would they call that a home run?” Asher asks as the head goes flying into the church doors.

I shake my head and mutter, “Fucking showoff.”

Turning to look for Maddox, I spot him standing in front of a female hunter who is trying to stab him.

“We need to hurry!” I shout.

Maddox calmly nods his head before he rips the sword from the female hunter’s hands. Tugging the woman into his chest, his head drops and he buries his fangs into the side of her neck.

“Taste good?” Asher asks and starts edging us toward the wall beside the front doors.

Tearing his fangs from the woman’s throat, Maddox nods again with blood dripping down his chin. “I don’t think they feed the females that tainted shit.”

“Good to know.” Asher grins. “I’m sure we’ll all be starving after this.”

When we’re about thirty feet from our target, we stop and look back at our brothers wreaking havoc around us.

Caden and Kian are inside a large group of hunters. At least twenty surround the duo.

For a second, I fear I’ve led my brothers to certain death.

“Ash…” I snarl in deep sadness.

I can’t let them die. Not here. Not now.

Ash just shakes his head at me and points to a large animal rushing into the fight.

Tilting my head in confusion, I ask, “Is that a fucking Kodiak bear?”

“No.” Asher laughs loudly. “That’s fucking Dav.”

Unholy sweet, succulent tits, it is.

I watch as the monstrous beast becomes a blurred fury of teeth and death.

The only thing that points to it not being a fucking bear is the long tail swinging about as it tears off heads.

“Fucking hells.” I laugh. “They sure grow them big here.”

Kian and Caden quickly start making deeper cuts into the hunters. Each causing death and destruction as they move.

Asher drops his wrench and nods to Maddox. “Get ready.”

Maddox turns to face us and quietly says, “I hate you both for this.”

Asher puts his hands under Maddox’s armpits and lifts him off the ground.

Then he starts running toward the brick wall with Maddox held up like a shield in front of him.

Pushing myself up against Asher’s broad back, I feel Matthias push up against me.

Like we’re a fucking train…

“Choo-choo, motherfucker!” Matthias laughs as the three of us sprint full steam ahead.

What we’re really doing, though, is using Maddox as a wrecking ball. Taking advantage of his impervious skin.

There’s a body-jarring impact as Maddox collides with the stone wall.
