have a say in how it ends.”
    “Y’all aren’t soldiers. It wasn’t right of us to expect so much of you. You’re our family. Brothers. Sisters. Sons. Daughters. This is over, Andrea. Come home.”
    She drew a deep breath. The urge to capitulate, to do whatever it was to make her brother happy flooded her thoughts. She couldn’t bear the thought of angering her him, of causing contention between them. But this—this mission—was more important.
    Those women and children on that island deserved a chance at a normal life. If they didn’t get on there and turn of that fucking failsafe, Adrian would kill them all. Deep down in her gut she knew that’s what would happen. He’d kill them all before dying himself.
    There wasn’t another choice.
    “We’re visiting with Niko’s family in Chicago. We’ll be home soon.” The words left her mouth without hesitation. Angry tears burned in her eyes. She’d never lied to her brother before. To her alpha. “Aaron.”
    “Yeah, sis?”
    “I love you.”
    “I love you too, sis. You okay?”
    “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s been a roller coaster ride. Tell Adam and Allan I said hi and that I love them too, okay.”
    “Andrea?” Aaron’s voice took on a gravelly texture.
    “I’ll see you soon. I miss home. It’s really freaking cold here.”
    That comment sealed the deal. Aaron chuckled over the line. “You never did like the cold. See you soon, sis.”
    “Bye.” She tapped the red button on her phone screen and let the tears fall. She leaned into the hotel wall and breathed in and out. Slowly. Methodically.
    A warm sensation of magick embraced her and she turned to face Vadik. He’d followed her into the hallway.
    “We’re doing this. We’re saving those people.” She wiped the trailing moisture from her cheeks.
    He nodded. “You don’t have to convince me.”
    “You’re going to have to be cold and unfeeling. You’re going to have to not stare at my breasts.”
    Vadik nodded again.
    “But tonight, we’re not going to be that way. Tonight we’re going to do everything we’ve wanted to do since we met.” She hustled forward and grabbed his arm. “Come with me.”
    “Andrea, we can’t.”
    “Yes we can.”
    She pulled her room key from her back pocket and opened the door across the hallway from Maggie and Luther’s.
    Vadik’s closeness stoked a fire inside her body and she wasn’t about to regret never taking this chance with him. Anything could happen on that island. Hell, shit could happen anywhere. Andrea yanked him through the open door.
    “You’re stronger than you look.” His eyes were wide, surprised that she’d been able to move him.
    The door fell shut behind them, and Andrea released his arm, pressing him up against the closed hotel door with her body.
    He forced himself to retreat as far as he could, making his body one with the warped stained wood of the door.
    She peered up at him the semi-dark, letting her wolf rise to the surface. She could see the golden glow of her irises reflected in his dark ones. His body tensed for a second.
    Andrea wanted him, but she needed to know that he wanted her. Really wanted all of her. Wolf and woman. “I told you I could take care of myself.”
    “What you said to your brother…”
    She paused, pain mixing into her desire. “What? Your Babushka doesn’t have a snappy proverb for ‘preparing for the worst’?” She pushed closer, pressing her chest against his.
    The thump-thump of his heart steadied hers. The layers of clothing between them needed to disappear. She wanted to feel his rock hard body skin-to-skin.
    “I have regrets, Vadik. But you’re not going to be one of them.” Andrea slid her hand down his torso and across the front of his pants. He was like granite and needed her every bit that she needed him.
    “We are playing with fire.”
    She cupped his erection through the leather and squeezed. A groan rumbled from deep in his chest and she shuddered with anticipation. “Lucky
