Chapter Fourteen

The neighborhood we entered wasn’t the derelict area I’d expected. It was typical middle-class houses with two-car garages and well-kept yards. I parked down the street so we could scope out the house before approaching.

“You should’ve gone to look for Gabriel,” I said, resting my arm on the steering wheel and my chin on my arm. I watched the grey house in question, trying not to make a mistake by rushing in. “I can handle this.”

Arys’s gaze followed mine. He leaned forward, drumming his fingers on the dash. “And miss this chance to watch you in action? Hell no. Besides, someone needs to be here to make sure you don’t target the girl. Bloodlust is a hell of a thing.”

“I’ve noticed.” Light shone from inside the house. There was no obvious noise or movement. We couldn’t waste any time. “Let’s go. You take the back door, in case he tries to run. I’ll take the front.”

Like the last few times I’d tracked a john or pimp known for harming Brinley’s kids, I got a rush of excitement as soon as I stepped out of the car. This was currently my favorite way to take care of my bloodlust.

Arys pulled me in for a quick kiss before slipping away into the shadows and disappearing between two houses. I opted to leave the Dragon Claw in the car. Everything I planned to do only required the weapons I already possessed within.

A quiet entry seemed better than a loud one. With silent footsteps I moved light on my feet, avoiding the streetlights. Cloaking my presence, I crept alongside the house, ducking beneath the big living room window. The drapes were drawn, but I wasn’t taking any chances. I bounded up onto the front step and, with a little focus, manipulated the lock.

I forced myself to take it slow. Cracking the door open, I listened. Country music drifted toward me along with the scent of sweat and fear. Blood tainted the mix ever so slightly, just enough to raise my hackles. The front entry led into the living room. It was empty. I stepped inside and gently closed the door. A glance into the kitchen revealed it was also empty. Sensing the energy in the house revealed the non-human Allie had mentioned. Werewolf.

I passed through the living room, which was littered with empty liquor bottles and takeout food containers, to the hallway. Standing at the far end of the hall was Arys. Between us were two closed doors and the bathroom. Arys inclined his head toward the door closest to him. They were in there.

The music muffled the sound of voices. Adrenalized fury slammed through me as I thought of Allie trapped in there with a man capable of tearing her throat out with his teeth while he did things to her no young girl should ever have to face.

Arys and I met in front of the bedroom door. He nodded and gestured for me to go first. Again I considered whether a quiet entrance would be best and decided that I’d like to save the element of surprise.
