Chapter 11: The Hunt

Alec wondered if his sister was alive today would she be as vibrant as Mia? "Your mate is special," he said.

Vadik raked his dark hair and gave him a smug smirk. "She is," he admitted.

"You talk to her yet?" He asked.

"I did and she said we can't be together," Vadik told him.

Alec stopped in his tracks and stared at his brother. "What are you going to do?"

Vadik's eyes brightened with a sinful gleam. "I'm going to change her mind," he planned. "I just need time with her alone without the fucking men is this house interrupting us."

Alec chuckled. "That's going to be impossible," he remarked as he opened the door to Kade's office.

Kade was leaning against the big oak table, his suit's jacket taken off and it was left draping over the chair where Dario stood with his arms crossed. Alec felt the tightness in his chest as his heart skipped a beat. He stared at his mate's green eyes that gleamed darkly; an intimidating focus appeared in them as they landed on Alec. Both of them couldn't look away from one another. Kade clenched his jaw and waited until Alec stood before him.

"Do you know Giovanni Romano?" Kade asked.

Alec and Vadik exchanged a look. "The businessman and Don," Alec replied because he did know that name, since it was notorious in the mafia world.

"He'll be in town soon," Dario said then.

"For vacation?" Vadik added.

"To find the one who killed his men," Dario replied.

Alec nor Vadik understood what was going on now.

"When we hunted Mikhail at the warehouse, he was interrogating a crew that happened to be Romano's men," Kade explained.

"He'll be hunting Mikhail," Alec understood.

"Or you," Kade cautioned.

Alec raked his hair back. "I'm really starting to think the whole world is after us," he said to Vadik who just laughed.

"It's not funny," Kade said gruffly.

"Are you worried for us?" Alec remarked.

Kade gritted his teeth. "I just can't have you dying before I get the chance to do it myself," he retorted.

"I'll deal with Giovanni once he gets here," Alec said. "We know where Mikhail is and it's time to get him." That got Kade and Dario's attention.

"Where?" Kade inquired.

"He's drinking away his demons at Xeon," Vadik said.

"The nightclub," Dario said.

Vadik gave a curt nod.

"We have the bullets," Alec said. "I can fight him and end this tonight." He thought that Kade would be relieved to hear that, but instead there was a grim look on the man's face. His brows were furrowed and his eyes stayed on Alec, like he ached to say something to him but couldn't do it.

"I'll get the team ready," Dario said.

"Leave Nikolai here for Mia's protection," Kade ordered.

"He can't protect her," Vadik intervened.

Kade raised a brow and glared at Vadik like he was ready to cut his head off for speaking about his sister.
