Chapter Nine

Maks put Jackson to bed in his pack-and-play around three a.m. Friday morning, and five hours later, he stood at the dining room table staring at a blank laptop screen beside Ali and Roz.

“This is going to work?” he asked, unconvinced. Some of the technology Ali claimed to use didn’t sound possible.

“Give him a minute,” Ali said. “We’re all tired. No need to get snappy.”

The screen fluttered and then Connor’s face appeared, live and in color. “We just unloaded everybody and had the tour,” he said. “So, tell me what you came up with.”

Maks recognized the mounted animal trophies behind Connor from the desert cabin. So, he’d gotten him, Lukas, and all five pit vampires into hiding. Good. One less threat inside the city.

Lukas shouldered Connor aside and sat beside him, parts of both their faces visible on screen.

“Hey, beautiful,” Lukas said, presumably to Roz.

“Morning, handsome,” Maks returned. “Sleep well?”

Roz shoved him out of range of the camera. “You’re a douche,” she complained. Then, to Connor and Lukas, she said, “The First Witch’s house is at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. We can fly Violet in, convince the witch to help us, and be back here in three or four days.”

“Okay. I’ll stay here,” Connor said. “Besides training the pits, someone has to hold back the tide of new vampires. I’d be too afraid of the city I’d return to if I left for four days.”

Lukas nodded in understanding. “I’ll stay too. And I’ll ask Markus and the Las Vegas pack to back us up.” He glanced at Connor beside him. “The girls can take care of themselves without our interference.”

“Jackson too?” Connor asked.

“He’ll be safe,” Maks assured, though he had his doubts, particularly when he thought of Jackson and Violet’s fragility. She was slowly starving to death no matter how much she ate, and it was starting to show. She’d be useless in a fight and easy to wound. He’d have his hands full protecting her, Jackson, and the other women, though if the stories about Ali were true she could take out a platoon. And he knew Roz could more than handle herself in a fight.

But sweet little Violet was without claws, spells, or weapons of any kind. As soon as they landed in the Ukraine, he was buying her both a gun and a knife.

“Sounds like a plan,” Ali agreed.

“I’ll hire a private plane out of Vegas tonight,” Connor said. “But, just curious, how are you going to sneak one of the most recognizable vampires in the world in and out of the country without being caught?”

“Fake ID?” Roz supposed. “A disguise?”

“I’m not wearing prosthetics,” Maks said, only half kidding.

Ali studied his face intently. “Maybe we just hammer you inside a crate and load you into the cargo hold.”

Sighing, Roz said, “We’ll figure something out.”

“Maks,” Connor said, startling him out of his musings of engine fumes and boxes full of packing peanuts. “Can I trust you to protect the girls from whatever or whoever you
