Chapter Eleven

Roman held up his badge in front of the key-card access situated next to the entrance door of his compound. A loud click sounded as the light changed from red to green, signaling the lock’s release.

Pushing the heavy door open, he stepped inside, anxious to check on Lydia and Jacie.

The group of vampires he’d left buried in the snowstorm would disappear with the rising sun. If his instincts were correct, and they usually were, the fledglings he’d killed had no doubt been following Svetlana’s orders. Besides, he’d scented her sickeningly sweet stench on them the moment he’d jumped from his vehicle. The Queen of the Damned had always had a distinct smell about her…the smell of roses.

With revulsion churning in his stomach, Roman rounded a corner and nearly plowed into Max.

“Whoa.” The wolf stumbled back in surprise.

Roman gripped the kid’s shoulders to steady him. “Sorry about that.”

“No biggie,” Max responded, stepping out of Roman’s personal space. “You look pretty banged up. Any injuries that need tending to?”

“Nothing that won’t heal by morning.” He glanced down the hall. “What room is Lydia in?”

“Madison put her in number twelve, but the little girl is in there with her.”

Roman had figured as much. He knew Lydia wouldn’t be comfortable with Jacie in another room in a strange place.

Max’s eyes changed color and his voice deepened to a growl. “Svetlana.”

Roman knew the wolf could scent the vampire’s nauseating stench on him. “Her minions,” he corrected.

“How many?”

“Five. Fill Madison in on everything and stay vigilant. No one leaves tonight. Understood?”

“Understood, sir.”

Roman moved to step around him. “I’m going to shower and then check on Lydia. Have a good night.”

“Night, boss.”

He paused. “Hey, Max?”

“Yes, sir?”

“Thank you for taking care of them.”

Max turned to go with a short nod, but not before Roman saw a shadow of emotion in his eyes. Praise of any kind had always seemed to make the kid uncomfortable.
