Fin clocked Dex's reaction, and let out a breath, forcing his voice calm.
"If I let her go, she runs," he said.
Dex's jaw worked once. "Don't put her down."
Gavriel looked at Dex. Looked at Fin. Looked at Serena, whose pink eyes were blazing and whose body was vibrating with ancestral energy that was clearly not interested in waiting for two Alpha Kings to sort out their feelings.
Gavriel clapped once. Both Alphas looked at him.
"So we all just jumped off a volcano. Where are the mages?"
Both Alphas shook their heads at the same time. The clap annoyed them and worked in equal measure and Gavriel Sterling was well aware of both facts.
"SERENA!" Hyran's voice sounded from above. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!"
All three of their heads snapped up. Possessed Serena did not appear to give a flying fuck and was still trying to get out of Fin's arms.
Pink parachutes drifted down through the canopy behind them.
