everything we can to back them up and get them out! If that means letting every damn hybrid we have go, then that’s what we’ll do!”
    Ivint paused and looked around the room at the dozens of female faces.
    “It’s not our decision. Whether we like it or not—it’s theirs.” Ivint nodded to the women who began to cheer and Balduen sighed, dropping his head in defeat.
    Dare looked at the closest hybrid.
    “Where can I get changed into my gear?” she asked.
    Dare headed to where the girl had pointed, followed quickly by Cari and Jess who were carrying their own gear. Balduen smirked when Scaden and Amun gasped and sputtered at the sight of their mates.
    “Yeah, it’s a real fucking party now, huh?” Balduen asked them sarcastically.
    Amun had to remind himself to close his mouth.
    “Who the hell gave Jess war gear?” he asked.
    Scaden ran a hand through his hair.
    “Cari is empathic! How the hell can that help anyone?” he yelled to anyone in general.
    Ivint turned to the whining men.
    “Back off! That empath told us when we were being led into a trap to get Jess, and she’s the same one who could feel the Council’s emotions from a distance you can’t even calculate without the comm! She can stand outside the damn door and project terror at that damn mountain and still get more done that you three are just standing here complaining!”
    Niklosi cleared his throat to get Ivint’s attention. He was on the comm near the mountain, and someone had projected him onto the screen.
    “Sir, Sarex arrived with David’s team. She’s one of the precogs . . . I’ll let her tell you—” he said before disappearing.
    Sarex immediately replaced Niklosi and she didn’t bother with pleasantries.
    “Sir, the hybrids in the ships have every intention of following orders! I’ve tried to initiate contact, but they are blocking any attempts I make. And there’s more of them, sir. There could be thousands within this whole range. I’ve seen images of huge tunnels, hundreds of people . . . places big enough to hold all those ships and more,” she said worriedly.
    Ivint turned to look at the 3D image of the mountain range that was on the conference room table near the screen Sarex was projected on.
    He looked to Reven, who was looking worried over his own missing mate.
    “Expand that from the cave entrance they went inside, to the cave that Gracus and Rebecca came out of,” he said.
    When Reven was done, they all looked at the hundreds of miles of mountains they might need to cover to find their people. Ivint turned to Sarex.
    “Is there any way to narrow down where any of them may be? Can you sense any of them? Or another entrance?” he asked, hoping for something better than this.
    Sarex shook her head.
    “I can only see the future and right now . . . I’ve seen the outcome change many times already. I will go farther in with David’s team to see if I get anything else. Dree’s the psychic; she’s getting closer to the ships to see what she can get from the pilots. She’ll report when she knows something,” Sarex said before she disappeared.
    “Niklosi!” Ivint yelled, hoping to get him back. Ivint hadn’t expected Tricia’s hybrid teams to begin reporting back to them and was incredibly grateful that Grai’s pregnant mate had thought of it.
    Ivint sighed in relief when Niklosi reappeared.
    “Sir! They’re heading closer to the ships. The hybrids said the energy is making their power go ballistic! You can almost see it sparking off them,” Niklosi said in surprise.
    “Have you seen Jax’s team?” Reven couldn’t help but ask, since his still-angry mate was refusing to talk to him through the Shengari’.
    Niklosi nodded.
    “I saw her about 20 minutes ago. She’s heading in about a mile west of David’s group, who was a mile west of Tricia and the entrance . . . before . . . well. . .  They are spreading out in a line as best they can to cover more area,” he said.
    Jax broke in on the open
