Alina's POV
We entered the industrial area, and I felt the change instantly. This was Serpent territory. Suddenly, there were people watching us from the corners of the streets, and bikes appeared seemingly out of nowhere to surround us, blocking our path from any pursuers.
The black sedans fell back. They weren’t gone, but they clearly knew better than to chase us into the enemy’s territory where every shadow might hide a gun pointed their way.
“Looks like we lost them,” Jaxon said, but he didn’t slow down. We drove straight through the compound gates, where guards rushed to let us in. Familiar faces of the Serpents surrounded us, weapons drawn, ready for anything.
The SUV barely came to a stop before Maddox jumped out, giving orders. “Get medical help here NOW! Ronan’s hurt!”
