CHAPTER 21

Arabella had this.

No prob.

Just an underground casino with some possibly dangerous criminals attending—she had this in the bag. Once again she found herself thinking that this plan wouldn’t work. Things never happened how they did in the movies where the hero barely gets the draw on the bad guy and then manages to defeat him. No, this was real life. In real life the bad guy killed you because he’s spent his entire life becoming a cold killer while you’ve sat on the couch watching re-runs of Antique Roadshow on PBS at night. No, the bad guy earned his killing ability by ruthlessly taking lives without remorse. Through years of hard work killing those who opposed him. The poor, unlucky bastards. Point being, she was not safe from being hurt tonight, or decapitated, which would be most likely. Neither was Grayson for that matter. He bled just like everybody else.

I could die tonight.

Talk about a mood killer.

The second Arabella took in the sight of Donato’s underground casino, she had to stifle from gawking. The casino was unlike anything she’d ever seen before. The casinos she’d been to with Sissy and friends were loud, bright, colorful places. Dinging bells rang constantly and machines whirred and clanked to spew out a dismal amount of coins. Elderly couples hunched over a stool with their cane propped against the slot machine with their gambling cup in hand. The smell of stale cigarette smoke and old, musty carpet and alcohol. Arabella had been to a casino a time or two to remember those details very well. What she’d never been inside was an illegal, underground, vampire-run casino.

It was like watching a commercial for a high-end fashion show, but throw in a little fang and extra pretentiousness.

Everywhere she looked the women wore dresses no ordinary woman could fit her body in to. They were the kinds of dresses that had been ‘disassembled’ then put back together to look ‘fresh’ and ‘couture’. Weres and vampires decked out in their finery wagered for high stakes at blackjack tables.

Some Weres and vampires looked like they had come together as well, much like Grayson and her. This might not make most people look twice now, but a year ago, prior to Alpha Zeke becoming president of the council, mating between vampires and Weres was strictly forbidden. The same was true for same-sex couplings—Zeke changed that all. A year ago if a Were and vampire had kissed publicly, they’d have been scorned and bullied. Though, Arabella couldn’t help but think that probably wouldn’t be true in a place like this. Surely the rules of society didn’t matter to nefarious criminals. Sure, it wasn’t unheard of for a vamp and Were to hit the sack together, but rarely did they ever push for more than physical pleasure. Why would they when both knew it was fruitless? And if they did so it was a private matter.

However, today that wasn’t the case. If she and Grayson wanted to they could become mated together.
