CHAPTER TWELVE:

BLOOD

I kicked at the back of the chair in front of me in frustration and began to draw patterns in the fog of my rear window. Susan, George and Lucas had been gone for almost an hour and they’d left me in the car like a pet poodle. They’d even wound down the windows a quarter of an inch so that I could get some air. All I needed was a leash, some dog food, and a water bowl and I’d be set.

Ooh and a chew toy!

I scowled. At least then I’d have something to keep me entertained.

I wrote a couple of curse words on the steamed up window to mask my growing irritation at being excluded, and then wiped them clear again, feeling slightly foolish. I was still jacked off that my growing talents, not to mention my ability to self-heal, were going entirely to waste.

I stared, somewhat deflated, through my greasy finger marks and out into the alley where they had parked. It was completely deserted. I hadn’t seen a single soul walk down this alley the entire time that I’d had been here—not even a lone vagrant asking for some pocket change. It was strange to say the least.

It was a Saturday night. People should have been out, crowding the streets. But perhaps, given that the local paper had reported two mysterious sightings of large forest wolves and three local women going missing, people may have been a little reluctant to venture out. If The Protectors had just listened to the Vampires on Tuesday instead of procrastinating, the town’s residents might have had zero sightings of wolves in Mackay and only one missing woman on their hands instead of three.

I glanced at my watch. It was almost midnight. The trap would be set by now. I just prayed that, after an eight hour stint in the car getting here, the usual plan would work. We couldn’t afford for this new pack getting out of hand. If that happened, we’d have to call in reinforcements from other states and in all likelihood, enlist the help of vampires. But that was always going to be the last resort for the IMI. They were stubborn and narrow minded right to the very end.

Despite being left alone and desperately bored out of my mind, I hoped that the bait was going to work. If vânâtors were in fact in the area as everyone believed them to be, then it wouldn’t be long before the scent of blood that was weaving its way through the night air found them. Even I could smell its sweet, yet metallic undertone gliding down my nostrils. It was not as strong as it had been forty minutes ago, when they had first poured the warmth over Sarah (the bait for this evening), but there was no mistaking the somewhat enticing scent that flowed from her direction.

Her role in tonight’s hunt would be simple. I had seen it executed many times before and it generally worked.
