Bolton smiled. “We have our female wolf shifter. It appears you are now expendable.”
“Leave her alone and I’ll do as you say,” said Nik. Until I have the chance to rip out your throat.
The men escorted them back into the elevator. He had to act quickly. Kill them before they changed and then get Emma out of there.
Emma looked at one of the men, who had his weapon trained on her. “You know it’s impolite to point as well as bad gun safety.”
Nik spoke to her in Russian. “Get behind me as soon as I change.”
She answered in Russian. “Nyet. We need to be stealthier. Once we are in our room, I have a plan.”
“Shut the fuck up,” said Ed.
“No problem, just a private Russian language lesson.”
The elevator opened and they entered their quarters. They didn’t seem to mind they shared the adjoining rooms. Nonetheless the door mechanism clicked locked.
Nik turned to her. “Now what?”
“We need help. When we leave, we need to take Nexus with us.”
“You forget she is the enemy and cannot be trusted.”
“But you compelled her to obey.”
“True, but first we’ll get you out of here, then I’ll come back for her.”
“Actually, taking her might give us an advantage. She could help us find transportation.”
He wrinkled his brow. “That is true.”
“And one more thing.”
“What?”
“About last night.”
“What about it?”
She winked. “From now on, we’ll behave like we are nothing more than comrades.”

“I admit I want more, but honestly, I don’t want to be another conquest. A one-night stand.”
“You are not a one-night stand. You are more. I want you to be my…”
Emma put a finger on his lip. “No. Don’t say it. You know as well as I do an alpha can only take a human as a pet, never a mate.”
He gripped her finger. “There are exceptions.”
“If you are referring to the enforcer’s mate Mia, remember she is a Stallo woman, like Svetlana.”
“You too are special. Our most important connection to human intelligence.”
“If we survive, you can have a bevy of hot werewolf women who will swipe right on the Hot Den dating app.”
He quirked a brow. “There is such a thing?”
