Chapter 4

You are now one of us.

The words rang through Kaden in a deafening clang. Yeah, he was one of them. No, he hadn’t killed anyone. But he’d fed. He’d sunk his fangs into a human – a human Guardian – and had filled up on her lifeblood.

And he’d enjoyed it. God help him, he’d enjoyed it.

He allowed Cedric to see his pleasure and his misery before averting his gaze in a show of shame. Which wasn’t much of an act. But he needed the other vampire to believe he had gone over to the dark side . . . reluctantly. Cedric wasn’t stupid enough to think Kaden would convert without a fight. He’d have to play this smart if he wanted to get Andrea out of this alive.

“You’ve killed a slayer, slayer,” Cedric said. “You are the worst kind of enemy to them. You know you can never go back. We can keep you alive.”

“Go to hell.”

Cedric didn’t miss a beat. “The Aegis will hunt you to the ends of the earth. We can protect you. You know I’m right.”

He was, but once he was free, Kaden would kill Cedric, which would draw the wrath of Cedric’s entire clan. It was a trade-off Kaden was willing to live with. He’d survive as long as he could, inflicting damage and racking up vampire casualties until he could no longer fight. Until either Cedric’s clan or the Aegis took him down.

Kaden swung his gaze around to Cedric, nailing him with every ounce of hatred he could muster. “The Aegis won’t hunt me specifically. They’ll assume I’m dead.”

Cedric laughed. “We allowed one of the captured slayers to witness you killing the girl. Then we released him. I doubt it will be long before the Aegis issues an order of execution with your name on it.”

Fuck. Kaden’s death would be a priority by sunrise. “You son of a bitch.”

Through the narrow window, Kaden saw the light of victory in Cedric’s pale eyes. “So. Are you willing to work with us? I’ve tenderized a few slayers, and now they’re just waiting to be eaten.”

That shouldn’t have made Kaden’s mouth water, and the fact that it did pissed him off even more.

“Yes,” Cedric purred. “I can sense your hunger.” The crisp clang of the sliding lock vibrated the air in a concussion wave.

Kaden tensed up so hard he was nearly shaking with the desire to leap through the doorway and tear the other vampire apart. Stay calm, stay calm . . . He kept himself in check as the door creaked open. Wisely, Cedric stood back, well away from Kaden as he stalked through the doorway without so much as glancing at Andrea.

His shirt and boots lay in a pile, where they’d been left after the vamps had stripped him to prepare for his torture, and he went to them without asking permission.

Cedric watched, a creepy, satisfied smile on his gaunt face, as Kaden tugged on his long-sleeved, black turtleneck and combat boots. Kaden’s weapons
