Chapter Nineteen

Jacques turned and pointed. “Two more to the south of us.”

“It’s about to get messy,” Dominus said. “Now, wolf, don’t be cutting in on . . . what’s your name anyhow, boy?”

“Forrest.”

“Wolf, don’t intercept Forrest’s vampire. A hunter can’t have handholding or coddling.”

Jacques shook his head.

“Forrest,” Dominus said in the utmost seriousness. “The most important thing about killing a vampire is not getting bit.”

I rolled my eyes. “I think that’s a given, even for me.”

Dominus released a throaty laugh and gave a menacing grin at Jacques. “Yeah, well, it kind of goes the same about werewolves, too, but some folks don’t get it and end up werewolves anyway. Ain’t that right, wolfie?”

“Look here,” Jacques said, taking a step toward Dominus. “I’ve had enough of your pompous, belligerent—”

“Jacques!” I said, glaring at him. “There are four of us, and four vampires. You two can settle whatever differences you have afterwards.”

“You see, boy, that’s why you don’t bring a wolf to a vampire hunt. You never know who they’ll turn on.”

Jacques jaw tightened. His inner wolf gleamed in his eyes, begging to be released.

“Dominus,” I said. “You’re not only angering him, but me as well.”

“Good,” he replied with a grunt and twisted smile. “Now how about the two of you take that anger and start killing vampires.”

Perhaps I had been wrong in pursuing Dominus as the one to train me. I had no prior knowledge of who he was, nor did I know what to expect upon meeting him. But I had been desperate and thought that finding any hunter was in my best interest. His name, Dominus, had seemed like a strong title, someone capable of ripping his way through a cemetery full of vampires without blinking an eye or flinching. That’s the naivety of an eight-year-old mind, and something I needed to shake myself free from as soon as possible. But the name he carried was one that he had apparently chosen for himself. Not one from his parents or one predestined for him.

“All kidding aside, Forrest,” he said in a low serious tone. “And I’m sure your werewolf friend can attest to this, vampires can move fast, sometimes as quick as the blink of the eye.”

I nodded. And so can werewolves.

“You ever scuffle when you were in school?” Dominus asked.

“Scuffle?”

“Fight.”

“No. I was four times the size of most of my classmates. I’d have crushed them.”

“You ever fight ever?”

I shook my head and pulled my stake from my coat pocket.

He glanced back to Jacques. “On second thought, wolf, you might want to stand ready. Don’t want the boy killed on his first hunt.”

“The name’s Jacques,” he said.

Dominus pretended not to hear, and looked toward me. “Vampires are extremely strong. You look capable of doing a lot of physical damage to ordinary humans, but be prepared when fighting one of these bloodsuckers. Young ones are disoriented when they first emerge, so use that to your advantage. While you might knock one off balance with a good punch, they recover quickly. And no matter how hard you hit one, it only pisses them off.
