“Ulises is coherent. He and Todd are on a boat on the lake. Along with six others.” Izzy was halfway through stripping as he spoke.
I think I can get the door unlocked.Hearing Ulises brought tears to his eyes.
And then Todd spoke and Izzy’s dragon went crazy. He wanted to shift but needed to talk to the guys. They needed a game plan.
I got his back, Daddy.
I’m coming, boys. We’re at the marina.
Is Seryn there? Tell him my magic is strong but it’s because I want to protect Todd.
I’ll protect you too, Ully.Todd seemed cool under pressure. They might need that if they had to fight.
“Landry. As soon as we get the victims off the boat, I want you to light it up,” Daruss said and then searched the group before meeting Izzy’s gaze. “The rest of us will focus on getting the victims to safety.”
“You’re worried about me doing what? Killing those fuckers before I get my boys out of there.” Izzy growled. “Fuck you, Daruss. My boys are everything. Fuck everyone else.”
Daruss nodded. “Good. Let’s go.”
Oh no! Someone is coming into the room!Todd was the one who said that.
Izzy ran for the water, shifting halfway there and then taking off.
“Shit! Izzy.” Daruss yelled.
Izzy didn’t care about anything but getting to Ulises and Todd.
Shots were fired. Izzy wasn’t sure where they came from but they didn’t come from a boat so far out on the water.
Izzy turned and saw Nash on the ground clutching his leg. He looked pissed but otherwise would be fine. He would needed to shift.
Several of the crew had shifted.
Three expensive-looking black sedans waited on the other side of the parking lot. The barrel of a gun glinted out of a rolled-down window.
Izzy wondered if the human gangsters inside were shocked to see dragons coming at them.
Izzy had a choice. He could go after his boys or help his family
It was an easy decision to make.I’m coming, babies.
Ulises put up a dome. They can’t get at us. But we can’t get out. Should I fight them off.
No. Wait for me. I’ll be there in minutes.Less if Izzy could fly fast enough.
The boat was a speck on the horizon, but the closer Izzy got the more he understood how big the thing was. It was a yacht, not that Izzy had seen one before. Not up close anyway.
When he landed on the bow in his dragon form, the boat swayed under his weight. He shifted.
Izzy sniffed the air, trying to catch Todd and Ulises’ scents. Once he had them, he hurried down steps that led below deck.
A guard stood at the bottom.
He turned but he wasn’t fast enough. Izzy rushed him. He kept his hands shifted and used his claws, raking them across the guard’s throat. The guard had his finger on the trigger, and it went off during his descent into death.
Izzy tore along the narrow corridor, half-shifted and ready to take out anyone who got between him and finding his boys.
Two men in suits came at him. Only one had a gun. He got a shot off, but Izzy didn’t even feel it. The impact knocked him back a step.
