Chapter 15

I tried to calm Dante down as he came through.

“What have you done?” he screamed again. “Lindsey, you have to leave now. They're coming for you and it's all his fault.”

He pointed to me as I stumbled back in shock.

“Dante, what did you see?” she asked, starting to sound a little hysterical.

The boy went deathly still and looked up at us with wide eyes.

“It's too late. They're already here.”

Lindsey exploded in anger as her beast took control, ready to grab me and the kids and make a quick escape.

Suddenly static noise hit my ears and I yelled in pain as my coms came back online.

“Westin Force is here. Hello. Can you hear me? Stand down. She's not a threat. I repeat. Stand down.”

There was nothing but silence.

“Shit! My coms but be damaged. I can stop this. Stay behind me, all of you. They won't shoot me.”

I knew their protocol and it was easy to pick up their locations now that I knew what to look for. But Lindsey was scared and she was angry. All she wanted to do was protect our little family, but how could any of them know that.

“If you have a clear shot, take it,” I heard Silas order.

“No!” I yelled, waving my arms in the air.

“I don't have the shot,” Ben said, as I tried to shield as much of my mate as possible. “Walker, get out of the way, man.”

I had no way to communicate back to them what a horrible idea that was. I tried to wave them off, but it was clear no one was listening.

“I've got a clean shot,” Baine said.

Before I could turn in his direction Silas’s words rang out, echoing in my head. “Take the shot.”

“Noooo!” I screamed, but it was too late.

Time seemed to stand still as the shot sounded and everything seemed to go quiet for a fraction of a second before the bullet pierced her body just above her heart.

She gave an inhuman screech before collapsing backwards.

“Lindsey!” Maya yelled.

I watched in horror as the blood poured from the wound. My body was heavy and felt like I was pushing through quick sand.

“Target has been neutralized,” Baine confirmed.

“No, no, no , no!” I cried as a feral roar ripped through me.

I dropped to my knees next to her and lifted her large wolf head into my lap as I tried to put pressure on the wound to slow the blood flow.

“Stay with me Lindsey. It's going to be okay. It has to be okay.” I desperately looked around for help. “Help me!”

No one moved.

I could see the life draining out of her.

I'd never been more terrified in all my life.

The kids stood hugging each other nearby, crying. She would never want them to see her like this.

“Help me,” I begged once more. “Goddamn it, someone help me!”

Taylor was the first to my side.

“We have to save her,” I said weakly as unshed tears burned my eyes.

Lindsey's whole body tremored and then she shifted back into my gorgeous mate.
