Chapter 9

Cacey

I drove my elbow into the intruder’s gut, and his arm around my neck loosened. The wulfkin had attacked me the moment I stepped down into the basement, hitting me in the head with a piece of wood. Tianna wasn’t safe, because whoever this wulfkin was, he had to be working for Daan. I’d been wrong to believe it was Vincent. I trembled with the urgency to escape. My breaths were coming too fast, every sound pounded in my skull.

The house wasn’t safe. Susi wasn’t safe. Tianna ... my throat choked, and a desperate adrenaline kicked in to fight, kick, and do whatever it took to rescue my daughter.

Vincent’s weight hauled the wulfkin backward, but not before the intruder’s blade ripped across my collarbone. I screamed and stumbled out of his slackened grasp. Behind me, a scuffle, the coppery stench of blood, and growls. Vincent and the wulfkin exploded into a knitted tornado of shadows and snarls.

I scrambled away and tugged on the light rope near the steps. The sudden boom of yellow light blinded me at first.

Vincent, in his silvery wolf form, stood atop the wulfkin’s chest, snarling in his face. I hadn’t recognized the lowlife at first, but now that I laid eyes on Mark and his hooked nose, the truth crashed into me. He was Daan’s sidekick, and the world crumbled in around me. This was real. The letter from yesterday was Daan’s sick way of telling me to run because he enjoyed hunting me down. Once a jerk, always a jerk. But the bigger problem was Daan targeting Tianna.

At first I stood there, a dark void consuming everything within me.

Vincent morphed into his human form, his hands clasped around the wulfkin’s neck. “What are you doing here? Who are you?” His voice punched through the silence of the basement, sharp and hostile as he stared down the intruder.

Blood trickled over my fingers from the deep cut. It didn’t matter. I rushed toward the pair and laid a kick into Mark’s ribs. “How’d you find me? Where’s Daan?”

The wulfkin gave an awkward, half smirk, then nodded in the way he always used to back in Denmark after knowing that Daan had raised a hand to me. The kind of look that said I deserved it.

My body shuddered, and I threw another kick into his side.

“Want me to finish him?” Vincent’s comment jarred my attention in his direction.

I fastened my sights on Mark, gasping for air. “Is Daan here for Tianna?” I should have gone to Anja’s last night, should have braved the storm, should have ignored Vincent. Now, ice filled my veins.

Vincent smashed a fist into the wulfkin’s face, busting open his lip. “Answer her.” “Daan has the kid and a message for you.” His response sliced my heart into a billion

pieces. I froze, hanging on for his next words. “Don’t go near him or the kid gets it.”

Fear pushed against me, locking my stomach tight. For those few seconds, my life ticked like a time bomb.
