when Kane gently touched the deep cut on her arm.
She took a couple of steps back as she heard a loud growl. “What the fuck are
you doing to her, Kane? I thought with you being my brother and a doctor that
you would be gentle.”
Kane rolled his eyes, then winked at her. “I just touched
her arm. She’s fine, Rane, but she is going to need stitches. Since she’s a
childcare worker, I know she’s up to date with all of her shots. She did really
well to come out of her first minion fight with only some bites and one major
cut.”
Rane looked at her, his electric blue eyes caught hers and
she straighten her back and stood to her full height of five-four…well three
and a half, but she rounded it up.
She glared back at him. “What does it matter to you? See, I
survived, and Faith’s experiment worked. So stick that where the sun doesn’t
shine.” Before she lost her nerve she turned her back on him and walked over to
Faith, who she didn’t realize had left and was now talking to the group of
teenagers.

Rane smiled, his little red was as fiery as her hair. Kane
chuckled and patted him on the back. “Good luck with that one. You’re
definitely not her favorite person.”
“She’ll get over it.”
Kane laughed. “This is going to be so much fun to watch.”
“Your relationship turned out in the end.”
Kane laughed harder. “I really do feel sorry for her.”
Rane ground his teeth. “The major is looking for you. Aren’t
you supposed to help with the medical?”
Kane nodded, still laughing. “Yes, but some overbearing werewolf
wanted me to check their mate first. Also, I’m not the only one Major Black
wanted to see.”
“Great, fine, thanks, I’ll see you back at your house. I
know it’s going to be a late night.” He grinned at Kane. “Good luck to you.
After everyone leaves, the girls are going to want to discuss it and get more
information. You probably won’t get any rest at all tonight.” Rane walked away
chuckling.
Kane yelled out, “Coward.”
Rane found Major Black and several other army personnel
setting up work stations.
Major Black turned to him. “I have contained everything, no
one can get out or in. The security is working with us, and we have the media
contained, telling them it was a terrorist attack. We were lucky that only a
minimal amount were killed. Most are injured. It’s amazing more weren’t killed.
I just had confirmation that the last group of demons have been killed at the
main stage. The reinforcements are ready, at all exits and weak points.”
Rane nodded. “Can we start letting some of the civilians out
of the containment zone? Let’s get rid of those people who don’t know what
happened. I’d like for as few people as possible to know what really went on
tonight. So anyone who was attacked, or knows that it wasn’t a terrorist
attack, or was part of the show, keep them here for debriefing.”
The major nodded. “We feel this is a major statement of
things to come. We’re stepping up our program and sending you six more of our
top men. They’ll be arriving within the next two days. A national meeting will
be held in three days.”
Rane raked his hand through his hair and grinded his teeth
in frustration. “I expected as much. I agree, this was a huge statement. We
need to organize a backup plan for any other major events.”
The major nodded and moved in closer and said, “I would also
like Faith and the alpha to attend the meeting.”
“I’ll talk to them about it.”
“We have problems that cannot be discussed here, Rane. I’ll
come by the base tomorrow at nine hundred hours. See you then.” The major
turned away, gathering one of his teams.
Rane turned and gathered up his human military team. They
all looked in pretty bad shape. Sighing, he looked every one of them in the eye
before he told them the new information. “Command is sending six more of you
sorry lot tomorrow. I need you all back at base now. Get some sleep.
