Chapter Eighteen

Leon gagged, but didn’t run to the bushes to puke. He knew he’d never have lived that down. Luc turned away, her hand to her mouth, throwing a half-ashamed glance at Rune.

Truth was, the crew understood.

“Grim,” Rune said. “The hell?”

“Now we know what he’s doing with the hearts he eats,” Levi said.

“We do?” Jack asked. “What the fuck is he doing?”

Levi shrugged.

The dog nuzzled the vampire’s unmoving throat, as though to force him to swallow the mess he’d vomited into his mouth, and then he gingerly stepped off the unmoving body. He glanced at Rune before trotting away, his tail stiff and high.

“Alexander,” Sylvia called. “She’s awake. Now go get my mother before I see to it that she never wakes up again.”

Rune walked to the edge of the hill. Roma was indeed moving, slowly, and only her head. Everything else was tied down and burning from the silver wire.

But she was alive.

“I’ll be back with Lee,” Rune said, but as she started to turn away, Angel French called out to her.

“If you bring anyone back with you, or if anyone else tries to breach my wall, I will kill her without a second thought. You believe me, don’t you, girl?”

“I do,” she said. “But if Roma dies, you’ll have a lot more to worry about than your wall.”

“Looking forward to your return,” he said, jolly.

“Not as much as I am.” Then she turned to her crew. “I’ll return with Lee as soon as I can. If the demon so much as looks at Roma, try the shotgun on him, Berserker.”

“Not even the shotgun will work until he weakens,” Will told her. “But he can’t hold his wall forever.”

“One of us should go with you, Rune,” Levi said.

She nodded. “You and Denim come with me. I may need help getting Lee away from Eugene.”

She wouldn’t, of course, but she didn’t want to leave the twins on that mountain.

“I’ll pack Nikolai to the car,” Jack told her.

She looked at him and frowned. “What?”

“The sun is coming,” he said, gently. “We don’t want to leave him out here for the sun.”

“No. No, of course we don’t.” She blew out a hard breath. “Thanks, Jack.”

“Lee’s dead,” the berserker said. “What’s your plan?”

“I’ll bring her back. I’ll tell Sylvia that Eugene put her in a coma or some shit. By the time she knows I’m lying, it’ll be too late.” She shrugged. “That’s all I’ve got.”

He nodded. “I’ll walk you down the mountain.”

She hesitated. She needed to spend a moment with him—wanted to—but she didn’t want to leave the others without the protection of the berserker, not even for a few minutes.

“Go,” Raze said, then added, “We’ll manage. Somehow.”

“I’ll call to have a car sent up for us.” Levi pulled his cell from his pocket. “We can walk to meet it.”

“Don’t tell Eugene what we’re doing,” Rune said. “I don’t want him hiding Lee’s body.”

“He wouldn’t do that,” Jack said. “Why would he do that?”

“I don’t want to take a chance.” Because really, she just didn’t know what Eugene might do.
