Tio, his dark hairfor the prisoners as you commanded, and…"

"And what?"

"I don’t knohat the hell happened OneI kneere here"

"Did Giuliani call you?"

"I don’t think so" The cur shook his head in confusion "He was busy fighting with another Were"

"Harley?"

"No Soave s Caine clenched his hands at his sides Daths to keep his pack fro pureblood Caine ranted a mystical vision of the future; after all, they wanted to believe he possessed the power to offer theer to follow him if they suspected his vision had forced him into a partnership with a traitorous Were who had sold his soul for power

Even curs had standards

"What happened to him?"

"Harley snuck up behind him and shot him in the head" Drew said

"Stupid woer the female had put herself in Dammit, he needed her Or at least, he needed her blood "Is she trying to get herself killed?"

"Didn’t matter," Frankie said "Giuliani shifted and attacked the other Were like a er just disappeared"

"Freakiest thing I ever saw" Tio’s eyes ide "And that’s saying soe to injure the Were before he disappeared?"

"Mauled the hell out of his had always been s of Weres Christ, he boasted of it with nauseating frequency

What if he rong?

"Damn"

With a frown of suspicion, Frankie moved forward "You don’t seem surprised that there’s a Were out there who can simply disappear"

With a vicious backhand, Caine sent the cur flying backwards, blood dripping fro the prisoners you allowed to escape before I have your pelt made into seat covers"

Effectively reminded of as boss, the three curs scra until the curs had disappeared through the trees, Caine turned his attention to the blond-haired woman with pluht denienerous breasts, she sashayed across the uneven ground to press against him

"You need me, lover?"

"You can sense them?"

She closed her eyes to concentrate on the spell she’d cast before leaving his lair

"Distantly" She pointed her hand toward the river "That way"

"Go with the curs and keepher eyes, she pouted at his sharp coing touch "I’h her pale eyes as she gave a toss of her curly hair and turned to join the curs

"Fine"

"Don’t try to capture the, she lifted her hand to flip him off "Whatever"

There was a faint rustle of brush before Andre appeared at Caine’s side Thebrown hair and black eyes was Caine’s second in command, and one of the few people that Caine actually trusted

"How do you intend to overpoo full-blooded Weres ill be expecting you to attack?" Andre asked

"A worry for later"

Caine bent down, studying the dae caused by the fierce battle between the terful Weres Claw round, splashes of blood and chunks of fur spread over the broken branches He touched a tuft of pale fur, knowing it didn’t belong to Giuliani

"What is it?"

"A warning"

"I don’t understand"

Caine straightened, his jaw clenched "A soldier only beco side"

Salvatore had always been a predator Wherever he went, whatever he did, he was the biggest, baddest creature around And that’s exactly how he liked it
