The guard on one side of Cross dropped and then the other. He was free! Free of sorts anyway. The rope around his neck was made of silver so he was still hurting. That wasn’t going to stop him from going after the bitch who took Rory. His human mind knew he should be running at the king, but his wolf only had eyes for the woman who had taken his mate.

He was off the ground and on Violet before the second man had hit the floor. She and Melody were mid-turn to go after Rory when he grabbed her around the throat and pulled her to the ground. She was strong. Stronger than anything he had ever experienced. On the outside she looked like a thin-limbed supermodel, but she fought like a 6’7” bodybuilder on steroids. Still, he was able to keep her on the ground and his teeth firmly around her neck.

She was clearly in shock. There was no way a lone werewolf, a young one no less, should be able to take down a seasoned vampire. Cross didn’t know why he was able to keep his hold on her either, but he didn’t care. If he could hold on long enough, she would bleed out and have to accept her final death. He crouched lower to floor and tilted his head up so he could see the room. Melody was holding Rory by the arm and he could see blood falling to the floor from where she held her. That red-headed bitch would be next.

Olaf was surveying the scene from his seat. He was sipping from his wine glass like he hadn’t a care in the world. Cross' muzzle was covered in blood and the floor beneath him was slick with it. He could feel the life leaving Violet’s body.

Melody must have felt it too. She let go of Rory’s arm and flew at Cross full speed. She hit him hard enough to snap one of his ribs and knock his brain around. If he hadn’t just ingested buckets of vampire blood that would have put him out for the day. Violet’s blood was coursing through his body. Instead of killing him, it was making him stronger. He could feel his rib snap back into place as it healed itself.

“No no no no no!” Melody sobbed, scooping up Violet’s body. Cross was ready to pounce on her, but she ran for the door with Violet in her arms.

“Get here, Melody!” Olaf slammed his glass down on the table.

“You fight your own stupid battle,” Melody snarled. “I’m not letting my daughter die so you can add to your stupid collection. See if you can punish me for this stunt. You better hope she doesn’t die or you’re going to pay for this you stupid, old man.”

She hadn’t even glanced at Cross as she left the room, but he knew that her vengeance was a given. If Violet woke up, she would be coming after him too. It didn’t matter because Rory was fine.
