The strike force Maxim sent consists of seven men and two women in tactical gear, who seem more resigned than thrilled about their assignment.

But then, it’s pretty clear to anyone with a brain that this has all the makings of a suicide mission.

We’re horrifically outnumbered and our enemy knows their way around the location far better than we do. Even with everything Neezer, the old man Catherine rescued from the dungeon, could remember about the church and an ariel view from a drone, we’re going in mostly blind.

We don’t know which rooms will be used, which are unstable due to structural decay, how many armed guards they have on wedding duty, or where they’ll be keeping Juliet before the ceremony. All we know is that she’s in there—our lookout saw her enter the church around five-thirty, accompanied by four of Jean-Paul’s many bodyguards—and that the ceremony starts at seven.

Our plan is to move in right before, when they’ll hopefully be distracted with getting settled for the start of the service. We’ll surround the church, take out as many guards as we can without being noticed, and hope to get to Juliet before she’s trapped in the sanctuary with Jean-Paul.

Of course, that’s assuming they’re planning to have her walk down the aisle.

For all we know, she could already be tied up at the front of the church.

The not knowing is killing me, especially now that I’m close enough to feel Juliet inside the building. I wonder if she can feel me, too? Or if whatever they’ve done to prevent her from shifting is keeping her from knowing help is near.

“They have to have done something to keep her from shifting,” I whisper to Catherine from our hiding place on a sun-drenched roof of another abandoned building just a block from the church. The entire neighborhood has hit on hard times. Most of the businesses appear permanently closed and the one occupied apartment building down the street is the kind of place where people know not to ask questions about drug deals, domestic violence, people streaming into an abandoned church, or anything else. “Otherwise, she would have burned that building to the ground by now.”

“I would imagine so,” Catherine says, steady and calm as always, even while the minutes tick past and hundreds more Montreal wolves arrive for the ceremony. “But she’s tough in both of her forms. As soon as she sees us, she’ll be ready to join the fight.”

“And if they have a collar on her, I’m good with locks. That’s why I grabbed that kit from the team,” Layla adds from my other side. “If we’re not getting shot at, I should be able to get it off in a minute or two. Then, we’ll have some serious fire power on our side.”

“We can cover you while you work on the lock, if necessary,” Catherine says, casting a glance toward the strike force members on the other corner of the roof. “No matter what happens, we should focus on protecting each other.
