Declan

Declan scrambled down the old wooden stairs and flicked on the light at the bottom. He’ll find us. He turned it off, his heart racing and sweat pooling on his brow. They can see in the dark. It doesn’t matter. The omega snapped on the light again and blinked as one bulb flickered.

He studied the door that led outside. His terrified eyes darted from it to the steel one going into the root cellar, and from there to the third one at the top of the stairs.

Three vampires.

Three doors.

Three options.

A whiff of smoke slithered under the door leading to the upper floor, sending the omega’s heart hammering. He longed to race outside into the cool night air. A fire would trap Finn and him in the root cellar.

But if he took off, he couldn’t outrun a vampire—especially with a baby. He shivered and put his hands behind him and stroked Finn. His son kicked and drooled over his father’s neck, reassuring the omega.

Something heavy thumped against the basement door, and the omega shoved a fist in his mouth to muffle a scream. Alexander? He hugged the wall and held his breath, expecting the door to open.

An explosion had him duck behind shelves. The gas canister. Finn whimpered, and the omega nuzzled him until he quietened. I’m here, little one. Declan’s heart constricted as he pictured the moment after his son’s birth when Alexander had placed the baby in his arms. Where the hell is Ambrose?

He peered up the stairs, his emotions in turmoil. Alexander said the vampires wanted both of us. But he’s one of them. The omega seesawed between the alpha being in league with the others and him being his and Finn’s savior. Declan’s world had been upended with Ian’s death, and now it was being destroyed. He didn’t know who to trust.

He headed toward the door leading into the garden but skidded over the floor when he realized it was the middle of the night. Vampires can see in the dark. I can’t. The car keys were in the living room and Ian’s boat was in the shed. I’ll risk it.

But the door to the garden was jammed. He pounded it with his fists and rested his head against the wood panels as tears dripped over his chin.

Curses followed by more breaking glass upstairs had Declan holding his hands over his ears. Make it stop. Flames roared overhead, and the omega fought back tears as he mourned the loss of his beloved home. Smoke curled into the basement and stung the omega’s eyes. He ripped a net curtain from the small basement window and dampened it under the faucet in case he had to stick it over the baby’s head. That’s useless.

If Fergal killed Alexander and came for Finn, Declan had no one to help him. For the first time since he and Ian had bought the house, the omega cursed the decision to live out of town.

Footsteps pounded over the living room floor, and a shout followed by more glass shattering had the omega squat with his arms resting on his head.
