Chapter 35: The Long Night of Valor [2]
[TAMIKO]
"The night is still young, Gabriel. And frankly, I want a lot from you tonight, but first, shut down the mind links you three share with your pack. Oh, and I'll know if you don't, and I'll break more than just bones," Igor said and Gabe looked at the man like he was bonkers.
He could also see that Tamiko was constantly face-palming in silence, like he wasn't sure what Igor Konstantin was playing with them. It was like Tamiko was the only one that could calm down Igor, but even that seemed to be a long gamble.
However, with the opinions that they currently had, Gabe was more than willing to go with whatever worked first.
Igor was dangerous and he had targeted Gabe and his friends. It wasn't something that could go unnoticed and the impossible quest or mercy had long made itself known.
Oh, how Gabe wished he had a mind link with Tamiko at this moment. Maybe he would use it to try and plead for mercy and appeal, but that was not possible this time.
"Done,'' Gabe said as he looked at his best friends who were nursing broken bones. Granted, their wolves were trying their best to heal them, but there was only so much that they could do at the moment anyway.
"Fantastic. Also, which one would you prefer, running into the woods while I hunt you down, or the three of you building a better shelter for my Tamiko in less than three hours?" Igor asked and this time, Tamiko made a comment in Gabe's head.
'You're fucked, Gabriel Grealor.'
Gabe looked at his mate, and for the first time he wished he hadn't been so cruel to Tamiko over the years. There was something about Tamiko, something that Gabe should have taken note of when they had been on the same stage before, but right now it was too late.
It was too late for him to start appreciating how powerful his mate was. No one ever got Igor on their side that easily and Tamiko had done it in an instant. That, to Gabriel, was some sort of insane power move.
