Beloved & Mate ✔️[Fang and Canine Series Book 1]

Chapter 23

Lana's POV

"Leo tell your men to get ready, I will not wait for them for more than 10 seconds." Lana said as she turned to look at the warehouse.

It had took longer than Lana liked to find the security footage and spot where Marcus and his men had taken Roman. After that, they had tracked their movements from street cameras.

Leo and his team was a special department of the council. They usually undertook operations when a vampire went rogue or they had gone against a rule that all vampires needed to follow.

Lana hadn't asked for help from the council, she didn't want to involve them on this and had instead only contacted Leo. He hadn't informed the council on Lana's request so he could spare only little man power to stay under the radar.

That's why there was only six men getting ready by the van.

Leo turned to Lana, "It's not safe going into the warehouse without back up or without knowing how many people are in there." Leo sighed, he knew Lana was not paying any attention to him. "If we can wait a little longer..."

Lana cut him off an looked at him, "I will not wait any longer."

Leo knew that talking was useless and his attempts at trying to talk some sense into Lana would turn out to be fruitless. He ran a hand through his brown hair.

"If your men still wants to come with me.."

"They do." Leo said cutting Lana off.

"Then me and four of them will go through the main entrance."  Lana said.

"I will come with you too." Leo said.

Lana shook her head in no. "This is not your fight Leo. I don't want you to go in there with me." Leo looked like he was going to disagree with her so Lana added, "Besides, I want you and the remaining two man to be by the back entrance. You can get in unnoticed if something goes wrong."

Leo sighed in displeasure but gave in and nodded his head.

Lana looked back and saw the four vampires were ready. She had told them to take weapons according to the circumstances. Their enemies would not be only vampires but werewolves as well.

"Let's move." Lana said and started moving in to the entrance of the warehouse.

She crouched and unsheathed one of the silver knives from her ankle. Then she grabbed a wooden stake from her waist into her other hand.

One of the three men moved forward and grabbed the door's handle. On Lana's signal, the male opened the door and Lana moved in. It was dark inside so she used her vampire vision to search the perimeter.

She heard a whoosh sound from her right and she slightly inclined back. A knife rushed past her head and embedded into the wall.

Lana didn't wait a second as she used her vampire speed to appear before the person who had thrown the knife. It was a simple human and she quickly twisted his neck.

His dead body slumped down on the ground with a thud. Lana looked around the room for anyone else but there was none. She turned around to the four men behind her.

"There are humans working with Marcus along with werewolves." She told them. They moved to the next room.

One of the female vampires entered the room first. Two males were inside the room. They used their speed to grab Leo's female soldier.

One male held her arms and the other moved to stab her chest with a wooden stake. Lana was there in a flash and she grabbed the arm that was holding the wooden stake and twisted.
