Chapter Sixteen

All eight members of Shiv Crew lined the hall, waiting for her. They’d strapped on more weapons than usual—Even Lex, who always carried light. Owen and Strad stood at opposite ends of that line.

Raze stood beside Lex, and when Lex heard Rune coming she must have remembered their talk about reading Raze—she shot out a small hand and wrapped her fingers around Raze’s wrist. She grinned in Rune’s direction and Rune couldn’t help but grin back.

Raze looked startled, and when he noticed Rune watching him, his face reddened. Raze blushing? She shook her head. The whole world had gone crazy.

“Okay, everybody. We’ve got our locations, and we’re going to stick together until fucking Llodra is captured. There’s only one rule. If you see a vampire, kill its ass.”

“And,” Strad added, “keep an eye out for my son. If you find Llodra, don’t kill him. We’ll need to question him.”

They all looked at Rune. “Yes, he’s right.” But Llodra would never talk. Strad knew that, they all knew that, but he was desperate. The same way she’d been desperate a few weeks ago when she’d needed her father alive.

She led her crew to the exit doors but just as they reached them her phone rang. Eager to be off, she answered impatiently.

“Rune,” Elizabeth said. “Have you left the building?”

“Just heading out. What’s up?”

“Three dead humans were found on Creeper’s Point. Obvious vampire killings. I need you to change your location and go there as quickly as you can.”

Rune clenched her teeth, furious. “He’s fucking killing humans.”

“You’re not surprised.”

“No, just pissed. We’ll head to the Point, but I doubt they’d have left the humans anywhere near their nest.”

“Llodra likes playing games.”

“I’ll let you know what we find.”

“Please do.”

Rune hung up and told the crew what Elizabeth had reported. “Let’s go find the bastards.”

She could feel Strad’s contained rage as she walked beside him to her car. “You want to leave your truck and ride with me?” she asked him.

But he strode on toward his truck. “No,” was all he said.

“I’ll catch a ride with you,” Owen said.

Strad stopped in his tracks.

Shit, Rune thought.

But the berserker clenched his fists and stomped away.

Rune let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. Trying to stop a fight between Strad and Owen wasn’t something she wanted to attempt.

“I heard,” Lex murmured, as Owen ambled to the back driver’s side of Rune’s SUV and climbed in, “that those two hated each other almost from the very moment Elizabeth stuck them together.”

Yeah. Ever since the berserker yanked Owen away from my fangs in the Moor. She was not happy. The last thing she wanted was a couple of dick measuring men clashing every time they got near each other.

But she had more important things to worry about. Llodra was keeping his promise. Three dead humans—and if Rune hadn’t stopped the vampires last night, there would have been three more added to that count.

If she had time before she had to fight the wolf, she’d have a chat with Gunnar the Ghoul.
