The meeting ended a short time later.

Rylee watched in amazement as Rupert, Nicholas, Randolph, and Julius simply shimmered out of sight.

“Take Rylee home,” Costain said curtly “I’m going to the club.” He disappeared without waiting for a reply.

“Are you ready to go?” Alex asked.

“I guess so.”

“Rylee.” Coming around the chair, he knelt in front of her. “Please don’t be afraid of me,” he said, when she flinched. “I’m sorry about last night. I know things got out of hand. I can’t promise it won’t happen again. I don’t have a lot of control right now. But I’ll keep my distance and when this is over…” He didn’t want to think about that, because when this was over, he knew she’d never want to see him again.

Clasping her hands in her lap, she said, “I know it’s not your fault. But it happened and you’re right, seeing you like that…”

“I understand.” He’d killed enough of them to know how vampires looked when they were about to lose control—fangs bared, eyes blazing red. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Rylee made an effort not to recoil when he reached for her. She told herself there was nothing to fear at the moment, and that, as long as she kept her distance, he would be able to control his hunger. But she didn’t really believe it. Last night, every time she’d closed her eyes, she had seen his face, his eyes hell-red with hunger. She’d had horrible nightmares of being chased by ravening vampires, of blood and death, of being trapped in the dark with no way out and no one to help her. Dreamed of Alex rising over her, eyes glowing as he plunged his fangs into her throat while he ravaged her body.

When they reached Costain’s lair, she pleaded a headache, went into the bedroom, and bolted the door.

Throwing herself on the bed, she cried until she had no tears left.
