Abruptly, his senses went on alert Elijah scanned the iain, just as he’d automatically done before they’d exited the lobby The uncanny wind that always see the blood-rich scent of va softly in anticipation of his order to attack
The vamp responsible for their instinctive reactions appeared alot from the public sidewalk, blissfully unaware of the predators she’d roused
Her looks hit hiehammer She was tall and stacked, with curvy hips and full, firht as a board and blood red She was clad like a goddaht black pants, and a leather vest dipping in a low V that displayed the deep valley of her cleavage
Elijah was blindsided by the insane urge to bend her over the hood of the Mercedes she alking past, wrap her hair around his forearm, and drill her lush body until he ca hated vampires, especially the females, erewith feral lust the longer he watched her
She jerked violently, jolting him back to reality She spun wildly, as if felled by a blow, then rounded back with fangs bared
It wasn’t until he saw the glint of sunlight on so metallic embedded in her shoulder that he realized what had happened
"Shit," heLindsay by the shoulder as she darted forward
"Letgrip
"What the fuck are you doing?" he barked "It’s goddaht That’s one of the Fallen"
Lindsay sliced across his forear her release
She was halfway to the vampire when she answered him
"That bitch killedpain in her shoulder and realized she’d been hit with a silver-plated throwing knife Ripping the blade free, she looked up in tiht of another volley a split second before it caught her in the bicep
"Fuck!" she hissed, unprepared for a full-on attack in thetoward her, another blade flying frorip Vash barely lurched out of the way in tier in her
A hued, ready to take the crazy bitch dohen she smelled lycan He raced out fro the crazy blonde with the death wish
It hit her then: Shadoe Folloiftly by the identifying scent of her guard dog
The fucking bastard who’d kidnapped Nikki
Stunned into senselessness, Vash skidded to a halt, earning her another blade in the thigh
The two people she was in town to capture were co she could do about it Not while she was alone Not without her weapons Not itnesses
Another blade nailed her in the shoulder, damn near dead center of the first hit she’d taken
She had taught Shadoe how to throw like that She had taught her how to hunt, how to kill It was clear to Vash right away: Shadoe was deliberately avoiding hitting vital organs and arteries The crazy blonde thought she was going to capture a varabbed a blade out of her shoulder and lobbed it at the lycan, then discarded the one in her leg and lunged forward, hitting Shadoe in the chest with her pal her backward several feet to crash into her lycan guard The tent down, and Vash fled, leaping onto the hood of a nearby Jaguar and running up to its roof She vaulted up and over the stone wall that divided the Belladonna parking lot froe so wild she could barely see straight
She never ran away She never took multiple hits She never let anyone live who spilled her blood But she couldn’t take out Syre’s daughter She couldn’t kill Shadoe
"Goddamn! Shit! Fuck!" she shouted
Her boots hit the roof of a Suburban on the other side of the wall, the alarht heel broke off and stole her balance, sending her tu down the windshield, across the hood, and onto the asphalt
She’d barely regained her footing when she heard another body hit the car behind her Glancing over her shoulder, she saw the blonde hot on her heels Vash took another hit in the shoulder, the sizzle of silver sending agony racing through her veins Unable to pull a dagger out of her back, she could only run forward and hope like hell an escape route opened up Ahead of her was a busy street, but that didn’t seehter’s ass was goading her like a cattle prod
A white full-sized pickup truck bounced into the lot with toothe trajectory needed to leap over it when it spun out and swung around Salem’s head shot out the driver’s-side"Get in!"
She ju up loose asphalt and leaving behind a cloud that s knife hit the rear of the cab with a sharp ping Vash ducked with a curse
The truck squealed into the swift-ry horns and the crunch of ood two h to pop her head up
"You asked for reports of abductions"
Syre looked up from the spreadsheets on the aze of the vampress in his office doorway "Yes, Raven"
The dark-haired beauty entered with an unconsciously sensual stride She wore th pencil skirt, and a button-down shirt that hugged full breasts Apparently she was acting the role of naughty secretary, one of the
"There was a raid last night in Oregon," she said "A group of Sentinels invaded a nest and took severalback in his chair, Syre wondered at Adrian’s growing boldness To infect minions with a disease seeed in and excelled in physical coical warfare wasn’t a tactic Syre would ever have attributed to the Sentinel leader So
