Nexus gaped at the flames. She held the wolfsbane rifle tight as if in disbelief the fight with fierce werewolves had ended.
Jesper’s jet had landed in the open field. “Come, time to go.”
Nexus, still staring at the fire, nodded.
“First, hand me the weapon.”
Nexus frowned. “But…”
“No buts. Lycan society does not allow wolfsbane rifles.”
She rolled her eyes and handed him the weapon. “Great.”
“Don’t worry. We don’t bite.”
“Got it. More like eviscerate, maul and rip apart.”
He laughed. “You are a smart alex.”
“It’s smart aleck.” Nexus retorted.
He lifted his brow. “That’s what I said.”
“Anyway. Don’t volunteer me for anymore werewolf hunts.”
“No problem.” Nik approached the burning building and tossed the rifle into the flames. He turned. “Let’s go.”
They walked toward a small jet. Though Nik killed all the werewolves, a cleanup crew needed to tidy any evidence of their and the chimera’s existence as well as destroy the remaining lab.
Nik boarded Jesper’s jet followed by Nexus. “Comrade Jesper.”
Jesper sniffed. “Are you hurt, sir?”
“Just a scratch.” Most of the blood belonged to his enemies.
Jesper turned to Nexus and his pale face turned red. “You are the asset?”
“Nexus.” She cocked her head. “You’re a werewolf?”
He frowned. “Of course, I am.”
“Hurry. We don’t have time,” said Nik.
Jesper looked down. “Yes, sir.”
“Nexus, give Jesper the coordinates.”
She nodded and handed him a piece of paper.
Jesper took it and left the cabin for the cockpit. “Seatbelts.” He started the engines.
Nik sat and once they were in the air, he went to the washroom, cleaned off the blood and changed into spare clothes. Black camo pants, turtleneck, and boots. Good attire for night missions. He entered the cockpit. “Find a place to land?”
“Yes, about fifty miles from Bolton’s property.”
“Have a vehicle ready for me.”
“Yes, sir.” He looked back. “She smells different.”
