Free Seductions (Alpha City Book 4) by Bryce Evans

and they are done away with? If I could have done something and got them to safety?”
    “If we break the spell and take them somewhere safe, away from Claudia, then she will know that we are on to her and we will have to start over.” Me-Len expressed as sadness clouded her features.
    “We all know how you feel, Brody. We all have or are going to lose people in this war, but if we don’t do this then it won’t be just two people. It will be hundreds and maybe thousands of people by the time this is over, and there are no guarantees that we are going to win.” Nolan’s voice was bleak as he spoke.
    Brody blew out a deep breath. His voice hardened. “Okay, but if we see something going down, then we take them out and get them to safety.”
    “I think we all agree with you there, buddy,” Nolan added.
    “Alright, I need a way to set this up where the twins won’t get suspicious and draw Claudia’s attention.” Brody looked down at the floor for a moment. “Me-Len, I can ask the twins to meet Lex at the lodge. They won’t think anything about it. We do this regularly to find out if some of the members need help with a job or anything. It will make them think that they have a member who could use some help. You can be there as well, and as soon as they come through the door you need to zap them or do whatever you witches do.”
    He didn’t expect Sage to snort. He hoped he hadn’t offended her, or Me-Len for that matter. To be honest, he had no clue what kind of witch Sage was. He really needed to talk to Me-Len. He wanted to find out more information regarding his mate so he would know what she liked to read and what else she liked to do. Brody wanted to court her so she would know that he really cared about her, and that he honestly found her interesting. He wanted to pound in the ground the man, whoever he was, that did that number on her. If Sage gave him his name, he would hunt the idiot down. But he didn’t want to bring it up to her. It would upset her, and right now everything seemed to be falling into place. Not as fast as he liked, but she was actually letting him touch her and that was a win in his book.
    “Brody, was there anyone else in the crowd who looked suspicious?” Nolan asked.
    “No, not on this tape, but I don’t know if Maggie got any bad feelings from anyone in the crowd.”
    Judd glanced over at his mate and smiled, waiting for her to speak. Brody knew this was hard for his friend, since Judd was a take-charge kind of guy. But he did it, allowing his mate to stand up and take control. He could see the change in Judd was not just physical but mental as well. He was more stable and confident, which meant Maggie did that for him. She was his stabilizer. They seemed to be a perfect match.
    “At first, I picked up the twins and only got confusion from them, but now it makes perfect sense why I was reading them that way. With Regina, she is simply angry with all of the Alphas and wants to punish you, and this is her way of doing it. She wants redemption for losing her job. I moved closer to the others and didn’t feel anything except sadness from the rest of them. Not everyone was there, so we will need to figure out who is missing—which I’m sure is a lot of people—and continue doing this in restaurants, stores, maybe even have a meeting like before to give updates. I can move around the room that way.” Maggie explained.
    He could hear MJ twisting around in her seat as Maggie spoke. What he didn’t expect was MJ’s outburst as she interrupted, “Look, I’m an organizer, guys. Always have been. We should split up in teams, and each team will have a mission, because that’s what needs to happen here. No more wondering what Claudia is going to do next. We can find out now. So who’s going to organize this?”
    She looked very agitated that nothing had been planned by this point in the meeting. “MJ, can I see you outside for a minute?” Judd stood up and waited for MJ to
