about leaving her open.
His thoughts strayed to Erica. Her sweet scent lingered from their ride, and he sucked in a deep breath. There was more than something about her. She could spell trouble for him in more than one way. Seeing Titus lose it earlier still weighed heavy on him, and he wondered if they were all prone to that sort of behavior.
It seemed as hard as they tried, their genetic roots would show regardless, and being out of control wasn’t an option for him. It wasn’t really an option for any of them now. The world was watching, probably just waiting for the freaks to mess up.
He pulled into his spot around back and hopped out.
Two guards opened the door for him, and he cursed the lack of security measures he’d been able to see to while dealing with everything else.
He groaned as he passed more soldiers he didn’t recognize. Carter had doubled his staff at Luna Lodge. Though he didn’t have anything against the major, this was supposed to be their operation and home.
Sol stormed into Titus’s office at the center of the L-shaped office building attached to the main lodge.
“Take it easy,” Titus said from his seat. The room looked as if nothing had happened earlier. He leaned in a little closer.
“Is that my desk?” Sol glared up at his leader.
Titus shrugged at him and grinned. “Casualty of war.”
“And just where am I supposed to do my work?”
Titus snorted at the comment. “You are going to be far too busy to do any more desk work.” He stood and came around the desk. “We need you in the field more.”
Sol raised an eyebrow at him. “You turning things over to Carter?”
Titus narrowed his eyes at the snarky comment. “Carter has brought in more men to help train our men. We need the help.”
Sol sighed. They did need the help. Their men might be stronger and faster, but when it came to some of the bureaucratic bullshit, they really didn’t know what they were doing. It’s not they weren’t smart enough. They had a very good education. After all, the point wasn’t to create gladiators, but men who could think both tactically and beat the shit out of you.
He nodded to his leader. “I’m with you.”
Titus smiled. “I knew you would be. We’re meeting all the team leaders in the conference room. I need you to brief them on what we’re up against, and then we can go over what to do about the press.”
“They seem like they’ve gotten worse since this morning.” Sol said, following Titus through the door and to the room next door.
“Worse than it seems,” Titus said and slipped into the room.
Sol frowned. Titus sat at the head of the large, round table next to Carter. Sol followed behind and took the seat to the other side of him. Apollo was already in his seat beside Sol.
He turned to glare at him before the meeting started. After this was over, he had a few choice words for Apollo.
“Let’s get down to business,” Titus said to the room. “First things first. We have confirmation that it was explosives in the main lodge. Not a surprise but good to know. I don’t think I need to stress the kind of people we’re up against with this.” He glanced around the room.
“We don’t know for certain it’s them,” Carter said from his side.
“Either way, I think it best we assume the worst,” Titus said firmly. “Especially with the most recent incident.”
Carter nodded his head.
“Sol, will you enlighten the group?”
Sol turned to the other men around the table. Some were from Carter’s team and some their own.
“Mark Kincaid was seen at the home of Erica Scott this afternoon. Although he did not mention the name, it was heavily implied that he had been working with the Horatius Group.” His hands gripped the table hard, his anger bubbling to the surface. “Not only were they trying to get to her, but they were trying to get to us through her.”
“How do we know he didn’t get to her?” Lucius said, his hunter skills in full force
