tensed. “What’s happening?”
    “Alana sped by about a minute ago. Was gonna warn you, but then I saw a dark car fly past, three men, all masked.”
    They had three maybe five minutes. “They’re following her?”
    “Would be a helluva coincidence if they weren’t. I’m on my way.”
    As the connection ended, she cussed. “My gun’s in the house. Fuck!” She pushed at Wolf’s chest until he backed away, then rifled through his duffel for a pair of boxers and a tee.
    He dressed quickly, too, pulling on jeans and boots. “You can’t be thinking of going over there.”
    She gave him a glare. “Alana might have questionable taste in lovers, but she doesn’t deserve what’s about to go down.”
    “Come.” He grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him, into the hallway. “Deke, Jax!” he shouted and pounded on the wall.
    Seconds later, two doors burst open. Both men were dressed in boxers.
    “Are there weapons in the house?”
    Without pause, Jax ducked back into his room. Wide-eyed but calm, Suri had pulled a sheet around herself and stood beside the bed. He lifted the bottom of the platform bed which opened on a hinge. Beneath was a built-in cupboard filled with a supply of weapons.
    Piper shook off Wolf’s hold and bent to pick up a Glock.
    “Hold it there,” Jax said, his hand outstretched. “It’s loaded.”
    “Wouldn’t do me any good if it wasn’t.” She turned back toward the door.
    Wolf snaked an arm around her waist to hold her still. “The woman who owns the house next door will be here in seconds. A vehicle with three armed men is on her tail. She might not know. We have to move fast.”
    Deke had already moved to the window, pulling aside the curtains. “Wolf, you need to stay here. There’s a TAK-50. Watch for your shot. Jax and I will go over there.”
    “Hey, I’m coming, too,” Piper said, frowning. “This is my case. My collar.”
    “Pretty and knows her way around guns,” Deke murmured, lifting an eyebrow.
    “She’s a bounty hunter.” Wolf’s arm tightened on her waist. “Don’t suppose you’d stay with Suri? Let them handle it.”
    “I have the security code to get inside. And Alana knows me.” She angled against his hold. “Let me do this.”
    He released her and bent to pull a rifle from the cupboard. “Don’t get between me and my targets. I’ll take them out. I’m good, Piper. Let me do what I’m best at.”
    The eerie calmness of his tone nearly brought her to tears. Who is this man? The peace he’d found with her was shattered. Now, he was back in sniper mode.
    No time now for regrets about what she’d brought down on him. “Let’s go.” Then leading Wolf’s two friends, she ran for the stairs.

Chapter Seven
    WOLF HAD ALWAYS hated the waiting, but this time, the passing minutes were pure torture. Every scenario possible flashed through his mind. And since, he’d pretty much seen battlefield carnage at its worst, his imagination painted pictures of the worst possible outcomes.
    He had to get a grip. Had to calm down. With the rifle stock propped on his hip, he strode back to his room. He wrapped a tee around his hand and hit the window glass. It fell in jagged spears to the ground. Next, he dragged his comforter and folded it several times, listening for any sounds from the house next door, as he knelt and got into a kneeling firing position.
    As soon as he stared down the scope, he expected to feel calmer, but his blood still pounded in his ears. Like he’d done so many times before, he drew in several deep breaths, forcing them to be even and long, but he couldn’t get hold of the tension gripping his body.
    The sound of the garage door lifting sounded just as he saw Piper and his two buddies at the side door. She quickly punched in the code, and they were inside. Because the lights were still blazing, he had full view of everything. Deke and Jax took up positions, concealing themselves from the view of the kitchen door leading into the
