Atomic Mage Garrett Carter (online e book reader TXT) 📖

to his man shack he began their ascent, aiming their house toward where he knew the camp was.

As they cleared the trees he began to accelerate the house to what he hoped was highway speed. Seeing nothing in their way he stepped away from the windows that were beginning to rattle from the air buffeting them.

Throwing up a curved shield to send the air around the front of their home took less than a second.

Smiling as the windows ceased their rattling he made his way to the bathroom.

As he passed the anchor hole he made a quick adjustment, changing the anchor into a cover for the hole that they could fish or swim out of in an emergency.

Walking into the bathroom he was slightly disappointed to find his mates fully clothed and testing the water temperature of the shower and tub.

"You look like Candice when you told her she couldn't have a dog and a cat," Mina said after she noticed him walk in as she held her hand under the showerhead.

"You are right Mina, he looks like he might even pout," Sabine said after a short giggle as she looked back over her shoulder her hand testing out the water for the tub.

"Har har, we will be over the camp in around ten minutes I have a plan I want to talk with you both about," Cade said as he turned back towards the kitchen to keep his mates from seeing the small smile their teasing had caused.

Sitting down at the table he smiled as his mates sat down and looked at him expectantly.

"I am going to try and paralyze all the slavers in the camp so we can take them out at our leisure and free the slaves in safety."

"I am fine with this my Cade but what about Rista, her mind should still work just fine if she isn't dead right," Mina asked with an arched brow as she waited for his response.

"If I can paralyze them from a distance and get her attention focused on me I'm sure I can find a few things that will keep her from concentrating long enough to fight back."

He finished his plan by pulling the mithril spikes out of the armory to float in the middle of their table.

"If she can keep focused long enough to fight back I will be very surprised. Drake gave up after a few moments after I used these babies." He said as he set them vibrating, their sharp points digging into the surface of the table.

"That sounds like a wonderful plan my Cade but Sabine gets to remove that bitches head as she was promised," Mina said in agreement, looking over to Sabine for confirmation.

Sabine answered with a nod, her face speaking volumes on how ready she was to fulfill her role.

Smiling at his bloodthirsty mate, Cade tapped into the house's power supply and expanded his senses forward, after a few moments he felt the edge of the camp.

The scrambling of the slavers at their sudden arrival reminding him of ants after their nest was kicked.

"Well, ladies we are here."

Payback is a bitch

Cade stopped their home at the edge of the camp, a few feet above the treeline.

A savage grin grew on his face as he quickly expanded his power gripping the people in the camp by twos and threes.

As he felt the small node of metal on the back of his skull heat up as he completed his part of their plan.

He quickly switched over to the house supply combining their outputs.

A breath of relief escaped him as the last of the people, slaves included ceased moving.

His brow broke out in a sweat as his concentration and abilities were taxed as the denizens of the immobile camp began to fight in his mental grip.

"Got them all, give me a moment to separate the slaves and paralyze the slavers, girls," Cade said through clenched teeth as began the mind-numbing process.

Beginning with the largest person in hopes of catching the large female orc off guard, Cade flew through minds looking for violence and depravity in their memories.

His search ended after exploring thirty of the camp denizens' minds to find the mindscape of Rista spread out before him, her small army of goblins his first clue to his success.

His second was the bitch herself striding through the milling force of short green individuals.

As she stopped in front of him Cade was admittedly a little intimidated.

She looked down on his six-foot-six self from at least a foot, making her close to eight feet tall, and damn was the bitch built, her arms almost as big as his thighs and thighs that could crush diamonds between them.

He was almost sorry to have to kill the statuesque woman.

Finishing his foot-to-head inspection he looked into the black pools of her eyes and said simply "hi" before he broke her spinal cord with a thought.

Her infuriated expression changed to abject terror as her mental double slumped to the ground with a thump.

A loud guffaw left him as she popped in and out of her mind a few times like she was troubleshooting the problem of her unresponsive limbs by turning herself off and on.

"Don't try anything or you won't like the results. Maybe you can get these dummies to pull you into a more comfortable position. Ok, I'll be back for you in a few pumpkin." Cade said giddily as he knelt next to the prone woman and patted her forehead.

With the miraculous success of the first step of his plan to
