Zack ondering if she ever drank anything else when Daryn Korzha appeared in the kitchen What the hell? Apparently Romanian vampires didn’t need an invitation to enter another’s hos He would have to ask Kaitlyn about that Later

Kaitlyn whirled around, her eyes flashing with anger "What are you doing here?"

"You stupid half-breed, you don’t even knoho I am, do you?"

Kaitlyn stared at him She had rarely felt fear in her life, but she felt it now, along with a sudden certainty that he belonged to the Carpathian vae The pureblood vanized each other on sight, but Kaitlyn lacked that particular talent It also explained his ability to materialize inside her house No hu to let him see her fear "What do you want?" she deh talk," Korzha said with a sneer One arainst his body while he jabbed a needle in her arled a moment, then went limp

Zack rocked back on his heels It had been a long tiladly have dispatched this one again

He glanced at Kaitlyn She lay on her side, her eyes closed, her breathing shallow Figuring she would be out for a while, he carried her into the living room, laid her on the sofa, and covered her with a blanket that had been folded over the back of the couch

Returning to the kitchen, Zack hoisted Korzha’s body over his shoulder and carried it outside

Since he wasn’t sure, burying the body see with preternatural speed, he found a stretch of deserted ground high in the round, he quickly dug a deep hole in the soft earth Needing to ain, Zack ripped the man’s heart from his chest and tossed it and the body into the hole

Once the corpse was buried, Zack transported hied his clothes

Minutes later, he was back at Kaitlyn’s house, scrubbing the blood froroaned softly as consciousness returned She opened her eyes slowly and glanced around What was she doing on the sofa? And why did she feel so funny?

Sitting up, she glanced around the roo in the chair across fro here?" She frowned as her aze darted around the roon of Korzha "Where is he?" She rubbed her arone"

"What do youthe curtness of his words, the icy expression in his eyes "Did youis he?"

Zack nodded "He’ll never bother you or anyone else again"

"Hey, are you all right?" Zack asked "You’re looking a little pale"

"Do you knohat you’ve done?" What would her father say? What would he think, when he found out?

"Saved your butt, that’s what"

Kaitlyn nodded, then frowned, et in? That’s what I want to know"

"Are you saying he was never in here before?"
