CHAPTER 10

West waited outside the apartment building for Caro ‘The End’ Kavenaugh with impatience. He’d broken his vow to wait for her to confide in him and had her researched. His team came up with her nickname from the CIA, given because she wrote the final chapter for anyone she targeted. She had an interesting career, if the broad strokes crossing her fifteen-year employment were to be believed. An even more interesting childhood was her unfortunate foundation, one which ended up with her almost charged with murder when her mother tried to sell Caro’s younger sister to a couple of men for drugs.

He shuddered at the barbarity. Caro was tough. Now he understood her phobia of relationships.

Over the last couple of nights, he monitored her from afar. She’d been true to her word and assisted in several operations with his team, saving two females, one male, and a child from abduction by rogue demons and vampires. While he knew bone-deep she was his mate, he’d deliberately written himself out of the rescues to objectively monitor her performance. He must know if she’d been planted to destroy his efforts.

He’d be kidding himself if he denied he hadn’t been looking for an excuse to see the vampire once more. She intrigued him. Her mixture of grace and deadly skills were like none he’d seen. If her desire to eliminate abuses against humans and human paranormals was real, she’d be an asset to his organization. And, of course, his bed. He had no doubt he could convince her, though persuasion would take time. Fortunately, demons had time in abundance.

Tonight, West needed her on this operation. Initial intel suggested he’d need every team member to destroy a warehouse where the fae gangster, Griffith Jenkins, set up shop in the lucrative blood trade. He’d supplied West with the product in the past, swearing none had been obtained through force or by causing the death of any human or HP. West cursed himself for his miscalculation.

Through him, the paranormal underworld king discovered the amount of money involved in the black-market blood trade.

Now that the fae had escaped the North American Council jail, Jenkins could capitalize on his knowledge. Controlling the flow from human arm to Sanguis fang allowed him to keep all the of the profits for himself, exactly like West, only with less scruples on the source.

The damn fae had gone beyond business rivalry when he started knocking off his competitors. How else to interpret the string of attacks across the blood smuggling world? The paranormal gangster had a reputation for ruthlessness, and right after he moved into the territory, two smugglers had their farms destroyed. No coincidence there.

Initially, West lauded the destruction, until seven days ago, when Jenkins knocked out West’s security and generator where he stored his blood supply. If not for West decentralizing his new stock, he might’ve lost all the units, which victims had come forward to donate, in last night’s attack. Fortunately, black-market blood prices soared due to lack of supply, which was now the only way he could keep paying his people.
