girls. “We need to
interrogate her to find out what Camilla’s planning.”
Cora pulled back at Sage’s words but Viola continued her
barrage. She didn’t know why Sage would think she had any reason left to trust
him after what he’d done to her mate. In fact, when she was done with Anna, he
was next on her list.
“Listen to me Viola. I know what you think you saw,” Sage
said, but was interrupted by Viola.
“Think? I know what I saw Sage. I saw you shoot my mate. You
will pay for that,” Viola sneered.
“Dominic is not hurt or dead Viola. It was a part of the
plan. We had to make her believe he was dead as a part of the extraction,” Sage
told her, fighting to keep himself calm as she came closer and closer to
killing Anna.
“I just saw him Sage,” Viola ground out. “Do you think I’m
blind?”
“We had to make it look realistic. You have to back off and
let us take Anna in for interrogation,” Sage said, trying to reason with her.
“He’s right Vi. That’s why Mom couldn’t turn the SUV around
to bring us back here. You weren’t supposed to see that part of the plan,” Cora
told Viola and put her hand on her sister’s shoulder that was shaking from the
amount of power she was using.
“You knew about this?” Viola asked, turning her head to look
at her twin.
“Yes, as much as I didn’t want to, Dad made me swear I would
not tell you about it, even though I told them that not telling you was a
mistake,” Cora admitted. Viola could see how angry and upset her sister was
about being forced to keep secrets from her, but it didn’t make her feel any
better.
Viola dropped her attack on Anna and watched the woman slide
to the ground unconscious. After watching and making sure Anna wasn’t getting
up and sneaking out for the moment, she turned on her heel and left the room,
without saying a word to, or looking at, either Sage or Cora.
Sage went immediately over to Anna and began securing her
wrists and ankles and then threw her up and over his shoulder to carry her
outside.
“What about them?” Cora asked and swept her hand around to
indicate the fallen team members.
“We’ll send guys up here to help them,” Sage said as he
moved toward the door. “They’ll be fine.”
“They’re not dead?” she asked in astonishment.
“No, just unconscious, like Anna. Although, they’re in a lot
better shape than Anna is at the moment. We need to get her medical attention
before it’s too late. Let’s go,” Sage said and moved Cora out of his way with a
gentle nudge.
She followed him, worried about Viola and the members of the
team that were lying in that room. This ended up turning into a huge mess, even
though they’d achieved their goal of capturing Anna and extracting Dominic.
As they exited the building, several guards came up to Sage
and Cora and he instructed them to go collect their wounded and meet them back
at her parents’ compound.
When she saw Liam standing off to the side where Viola was
sitting on the ground holding Dominic across her lap with his head against her
chest, she took off at a dead run into his arms. She’d been so scared he’d be
hurt during this mission and seeing him unharmed was such a relief.
Thomas came stalking up, his fury washing over all of them.
“Get her to a prisoner medical suite and have her attended
to,” he ordered Sage before turning to the twins and their mates.
Viola didn’t even bother to look up at their father. Sage
could feel the low boil of fury simmering inside of her as he headed away from
the group and wished he had time to warn them all, she was a ticking time bomb.
“What happened here?” Thomas demanded.
When none of them spoke up to answer his question, Thomas
walked over and stood in front of Cora and Liam.
“I asked a question and I expect to be answered,” he said
through gritted teeth.
“What happened is what I told you would happen if you didn’t
tell Viola the entire plan. She sensed something was
interrogate her to find out what Camilla’s planning.”
Cora pulled back at Sage’s words but Viola continued her
