Chapter Twelve

The Abigail of the ghost's memories screamed a warning Cade couldn't hear as he walked down the hall to his room. Val's stomach twisted. She didn't want to see any more, but she held her tongue. If he'd had to endure it, she had to see it.

Cade! Stop!the ghost cried again.Please, stop! Please!

He broke step, frowning. For a moment Val thought he'd actually heard Abigail's psychic cries, but then a feminine whimper of pain sounded, and she realized it was that sound that brought his head up.

Cade turned as if trying to determine the origin of that tiny, hopeless noise. A deep male voice growled something menacing from behind the door to his left. He turned and looked at it, eyes narrowing, broad shoulders tensing.

Oh, God, Val thought.It's a woman, and he's going to try to go to the rescue. And Ridgemont's on the other side of that door.

Another muffled sound, unmistakably a scream, cut off in the middle by a hard slap.

Cade drew his gun and rammed his booted foot into the door. It flew open with a thunderous bang. He strode into the room, gun at the ready. "Hands up!"

Ridgemont looked up as he leaned over a woman lying on the bed. He was fully dressed, while she was naked and hog-tied. Her bare breasts were smeared with blood from a pair of puncture wounds set just above one nipple. Her desperate gaze met Cade's over her gag, wide with terror, silently begging for help.

Cade flicked a shocked glance at her brutalized body, then turned to level his gun at Ridgemont with a snarl. "What the hell is going on here?"

The vampire wiped a smear of red from the corner of his mouth. "Get out."

Cade brought the gun up to point it right between those thick blond brows. "I don't think the lady's willing. Step away or take a bullet."

Ridgemont tried to compel him,Abigail explained.But he was Kith, and that was before their link. So it didn't work. And that's when the evil bastard realized what Cade was.

Surprised interest flickered in chilly blue eyes. "Well, well. And who would you be?"

"I'm a Texas Ranger, mister, that's all the hell you need to know. And I'm not in the habit of giving an order twice. Step away from the lady."

"As you wish." Ridgemont moved back, still grinning. Cade started toward him, sliding his free hand into his back pocket as if reaching for something to use in restraining the other man.

Before he even completed the step, the vampire's massive fist slammed into his jaw with such blinding speed he had no time to react. Val gasped in horror as Cade hit the wall behind him with a crash, then slid down to collapse on the floor in a boneless heap.

Ridgemont rocked back on his heels, studying his victim. A slow smile curved his lips.

The ghost moaned,Oh, no. Oh, Cade…

SHIFT. Cade sat slumped unconscious in a straight-backed chair, his wrists bound behind its back, his ankles tied to its legs.
