CHAPTER FIVE

* * *

THE NEXT EVENING, VERONICA TURNED up at the Blood Zone, as Leke had instructed her to.

She got there earlier today, which meant there was a queue outside the place, but nobody tried to stop her when she walked to the front. The humans weren’t going to say anything, but even the vampires didn’t seem inclined to protest. It seemed that news about her had spread. It was even easier to gain a foothold in the supernatural world than the human one, what with the threat of the government hanging over these pussies. She could get used to the instant power. Not to mention the superhuman strength.

As she neared the entrance, a familiar voice caused her to freeze. “Veronica!”

She turned, and her fangs elongated at the sight of her nemesis. She stepped away from the crowd to approach the werewolf who’d shouted out to her. “Rasmus?” Dressed in smart dark jeans and a black tee shirt, and with that chiseled face, you’d never guess he killed for the fun of it. But those chilling blue eyes…they gave away the steel that was part of his personality. Behind him stood his right hand Edge, muscled and handsome, but his expression not as cold as that of his boss. Just over a year ago, he was also human, before the werewolf turned him.

“What the hell are you doing here, Rasmus?” She pulled her lips back, giving him a look-see at her fangs. “Planning to cause trouble?”

But he didn’t seem fazed by her changed appearance. In fact, he might even be…impressed? His eyes flashed as they roamed over her, landing on the neckline of her stretch corset top, and she resisted the urge to pull her jacket together to cover herself. “The last thing I want is trouble, Veronica.”

That image flashed before her again. Rasmus in that abandoned car park before the vampire got to her. Why the hell couldn’t she remember more? “Too late for that, wolf. What went down in the car park that night? The night I was turned?”

He did not even blink. “No idea. I’ve been trying to figure it out myself. After clearing up an issue with one of your guys, I left. I didn’t see you arrive—”

“Bullshit. I saw you there.”

“You saw me there? Or thought you saw me there?”

“You’re saying I’m imagining things?” The wolf was pushing it.

“You’re going through big changes, Veronica. Ask anyone who’s been through the process and they’ll tell you that confused visions are a given. Give it a couple of weeks before you start throwing dubious accusations around.”

Since she hadn’t been through a damn change before, she had no way of knowing if he told the truth. And there was no point kicking up a fuss over a mere suspicion, not when there was someone who had actually wronged her to track down. “Whatever you say, Rasmus. But down the line, if I find out you were involved, you won’t get away with it—”

“Like I said, you won’t have trouble from me.
