earlier with your fucked up, sign language?” Cole asked, lifting a chaise and looking under it.
“I’m sure she didn’t hide a key under her chair. I was telling you we can’t kill Lana here. She let it slip that her home was charmed. We kill her here and her brother and his crew will be on us before we leave the building. Probably, before we got these damned handcuffs off.”
“Don’t tell me we made it this far and still we have no way of getting out of these cuffs,” Cole complained, walking over to Lana’s bed and using her sheets to tie her up. Jude knew tying her up wouldn’t hold her when she finally awoke, but it would buy them some time.
She wouldn’t stay unconscious long and they needed to figure something out quickly.
“I know what we can do.” Jude walked over to Lana’s night stand and pushed the buzzer twice.
“Get ready. When she doesn’t answer, he is going to get worried and teleport in to check on her,” Jude said.
When Bruce didn’t arrive right away, Jude pressed the buzzer again. Usually, Bruce responded quickly when Lana buzzed. Finally, Bruce teleported and both men jumped him from behind.

Bruce figured something was wrong when his buzzer went off, but Lana said nothing. He got out of bed slowly, careful not to wake his sleeping mate and buzzed Lana twice, but she didn’t answer. When she didn’t respond a third time, Bruce reached into his drawer and pulled out two of his high power, stun guns, and then quickly dressed.
He was prepared for the worst and hoped for it when he teleported into Lana’s bedroom. When Cole and Jude jumped him from behind, he pressed the two, small weapons against their arms and shocked them.
They released him and fell to the ground, their bodies convulsing from the shock. Bruce turned and looked for Lana. He found her on the bed, sprawled out and unconscious.
“What have you done?” Bruce asked Cole and Jude when they got up off the floor.
Cole bared his fangs as he and Jude circled around him. Bruce wasn’t worried about the starved vampire or the demon. The only thing he was thinking of was getting his mate out while Lana was unconscious.
“Goodbye, fellas,” Bruce smiled at the two of them and prepared to teleport.
“Wait,” Jude yelled and Bruce stilled. “You’re going to get Faede and leave here, aren’t you?” Jude asked.
“What Faede and I do is none of your business, demon,” Bruce snarled.
“I have a mate, too,” Jude said. “You don’t have to help me escape, just take off these handcuffs, so I can find her and get her out of here.”
Bruce knew helping the demon was the right thing to do, but he didn’t have much time before Lana awakened.
“I know where she keeps the key, but you two have to stay here while I go find it.”
Cole started to protest, but Jude cut him off. “We really have no choice but to trust him.”
Bruce nodded his head to Jude. “I’ll return.”
Bruce teleported back to his room and opened his closet door. He grabbed the two outfits and two pair of shoes and teleported them back to Jude and Cole.
“Put these on. I won’t have naked men parading around my bride.”
Bruce teleported back to his chamber and awakened his mate. “Dress quickly,” he said, laying her black dress on the bed next to her. She sat up and rubbed her eyes while he frantically searched through his belongings, looking for a dagger he kept hidden.
Bruce turned to his mate. “Keep this with you at all times. Don’t be afraid to use it if we get separated.”
“What’s going on?” Faede asked, taking the dagger from him.
“Lana is unconscious and we need to get out of here while we have a chance.”
“I can’t leave without Carissa.”
“It’s too risky for us to go search for your friend. I already have two other people I’m helping escape. One more may be pushing it.”
Faede frowned. “I’m not leaving without Carissa.”
“You have no choice,” Bruce said,
“I’m sure she didn’t hide a key under her chair. I was telling you we can’t kill Lana here. She let it slip that her home was charmed. We kill her here and her brother and his crew will be on us before we leave the building. Probably, before we got these damned handcuffs off.”
