Chapter Ten

Quinten bared his fangs in a snarl. “What do you want from us?” he asked, taking a step forward. I could tell he wanted to attack, but he didn’t want to leave me exposed. He was forgetting that I could take care of myself, and of him if I had to. Even though he was more than capable of taking care of himself right now, I was still tempted to protect him anyway possible.

The smaller of the two men sidled over to get a good look at me. He was still taller than Quinten, and he was twirling a long, sharp knife in his hand. He whistled at me, and Quinten snarled as savagely as he could. “Damn, girl. I heard that you survived the Arena Wars, and even defied the Council and Roger Mason. What’s a woman like you doing with a bloodsucker like him? I can show you what a real man is like,” he said, making a kissing noise.

I placed my hand on Quinten’s back, “Don’t,” I hissed at him. “They’re baiting you. Don’t fall for it.”

“I won’t,” he assured me, relaxing his stance a bit. He wasn’t in a death crouch anymore, and I felt a little better about moving away from him. The smaller werewolf’s eyes widened when I took a step forward, and he grinned smoothly.

“Thinkin’ about takin’ me up on my offer, sweetheart?” He asked with a chuckle.

“Not a chance,” I said, glaring at him. “Now, if you wanna live past today, you’re gonna turn around and crawl back under whatever rock you slithered out from.”

They both laughed, which I sort of expected. The larger one cracked his knuckles threateningly and, without warning, charged at us. Quinten sprung forward, slamming into the stranger’s chest. Even though Quinten was smaller, he’d just fed from me a little over an hour ago, and it had given him a much needed energy boost.

The other stranger darted forward, brandishing his weapon. He slashed at my head, and I ducked, coming up behind him. I slammed my hands together on either side of his head, bursting one of his eardrums. He screamed and dropped to the ground, clawing at his bleeding ear.

I kicked him in the ribs as hard as I could, and was satisfied to hear a rib or two snap. He clutched his side, and I rolled him over, before bringing my knee down on his throat. I applied pressure, and he started to choke. The bleeding in his ear had stopped, probably because the wound had already healed, and he could focus all of his energy on removing my knee from his throat.

He only used one hand though. I didn’t see what his other hand was doing until it was too late. His hands tightened over the handle of the knife, and he slashed up at my face. A white-hot pain flared across my chest, and I stumbled back, releasing the stranger on the ground.

He jumped to his feet, and I didn’t have time to check the wound on my chest.
