Chapter Nine

“Did you see that?” Myst whispered to Hex as they sped back toward their house. The last thing they needed was to be caught in the vicinity when the vampires’ hideout came tumbling down upon itself. “Did you fucking see that?”

“Yes, now hush.” Hex took his eyes off the road for just a minute to glance toward the backseat where Echo slept in Eyce’s lap. “He saved our asses.”

“Well, try telling him that,” Syx mumbled from beside Eyce. “He feels guilty.”

“Why?” Myst spun around in his seat to look Syx in the eyes. His adrenaline was beginning to wane, and it left him feeling shaky. When was the last time any of them had allowed themselves to lose control like that? If Echo hadn’t been there, he could only imagine what might have happened.

“He’s thinking it’s his fault I got hurt.” Syx smoothed his palm over Echo’s leg. “I was losing that fight before Echo ever stepped foot inside the basement.”

“We all were,” Eyce agreed quietly. “I couldn’t fight them off fast enough. Every time I’d try to use my power, there’d be another flying at me, and I’d lose focus.”

“Same here,” Myst mumbled. Those damn leeches were fast. Once he’d dispatched one of them, two more would lunge for him. Just before Echo arrived, Myst had been having serious doubts about their ability to make it out of that basement alive. “I thought I was going to throw up my heart when I heard him scream.”

“Very eloquent,” Vapre said around a snort as he leaned forward from the third-row seat. “But I know what you mean. I completely lost it.”

“I hate that he got hurt,” Hex growled. “If he hadn’t, though, I think we’d probably all be dead.”

“Dude, he completely smoked those vampires. I have never seen anything like that.” Myst stared at Echo’s sleeping form in amazement. “What the hell was that?” Their little mate had practically exploded into a ball of light, and when Myst could see again, the vampires had been charred crispy.

No one spoke, and they all looked just as mystified as he felt. “Is Echo okay?” Hex asked instead.

“Yes,” Eyce murmured. “He’s sleeping, and the wounds have already closed.” He stared down at the man in his lap with such tenderness, Myst had to swallow down the lump in his throat. “How he will deal emotionally when he wakes up is another question.”

“He’s tough.” Myst nodded curtly. “He’ll be fine.”

Syx sighed and dropped his head back to the seat. “I don’t think he’ll be afraid of us if that’s what you’re worried about, Eyce. Before he fell asleep, the only thing he feared is that we’d blame him for what happened.”

“So, what do we do now?” Vapre asked.

“We get ready for the new moon.” Hex’s fingers curled tighter around the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. “We try to find some answers. So far, we’ve been lucky. I have a feeling that luck is about to run out.”

Though he didn’t say anything, Myst agreed.
