Hans (Alliance #4)

But as I’m forcefully hauled away, I look through the open back seat of the SUV and see Hans sprinting toward me.

Understanding finally hits, and that’s when I start to scream.

CHAPTER105

Hans

Cassandra’s screamsecho around the hangar, and I try to run faster.

No, no, no.

Men are shouting behind me, and I can hear their footsteps as they chase after me.

She can’t?—

They can’t take her.

They can’t have her.

My lungs are screaming after ten steps.

I need to move faster.

I break out of the hangar.

I can see her. I can still see her.

She’s kicking and screaming and reaching behind her to claw at the face of the giant man carrying her.

The man carrying her.

I memorize his features.

I can’t let him take her.

My gun is in my hand, but I can’t shoot. I can’t risk hitting her. If I aimed for him and accidentally killed her instead… I would immediately turn the gun on myself.

“Cassandra!” I shout, letting her know I’m coming.

He’s only ten yards ahead of me.

I can get there.

But then I see it. The plane rolling toward us. And the stairs being tossed open.

“No!” I bellow out my dread.

Someone steps into view on the plane at the top of the stairs and raises a gun.

The shots are loud, but I don’t stop running.

I can’t stop chasing her.

“Hans!” she screams.

Cassandra screams my name.

I’m closer.
