Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

deadliest assassins I knew.

I tilted my head to Neve, whose red hair gently floated in the still air—an

enchanting quirk of being a powerful djinn, a genie of the winds. “Nice to see

you, Detective Cross.”

She smiled. “I’ve been out of town, but I heard you’re the new alpha

around here.”

I’d helped her and Damian Malek, one of Magic Side’s wealthiest and

most dangerous underlords, overthrow a demented mage who’d managed to

tear open a portal to the hells and had been amassing a demon army. This was

after he’d unleashed a water genie on Bentham a month ago, allowing five

prisoners to escape—including Kahanov.

Since I’d taken over as alpha from my father, we’d faced one crisis after

another. I’d hoped Billy’s death had been the tragic end of it, but now, I

worried that was only a prelude. “Any new leads on the sorcerer?”

Amal shook her head. “I lost his trail in Italy. Sorry, Jax.”

“Then this visit better pay off. We need a lead. Fast.”

I’d told them about the note, as well as most of the details surrounding the

abductions and blood demon attacks.

“Is Savannah supposed to be meeting us?” Neve asked. “You had me get

clearance for her.”

As if mentioning her name summoned the she-devil up from the pits of

hell, Savannah’s Gran Fury peeled into the parking lot with the radio

blasting. The werewolves I’d assigned to her protection detail followed

shortly behind in a black SUV.

She was late and loudly broadcasting that the world revolved around her.

I clenched my fist. Just the sight of her made my blood pressure rise. She was

insufferable and obstinate…and frustratingly arousing.

Savannah climbed out of the car and strode over to us. Her white T-shirt

was tucked into high-cut jeans that accentuated her curves, and I had to dig

my claws into my palms to keep my head straight.
