Chapter Eleven

In the shadows behind one of the columns outlining the dance floor, Arran waited for the perfect moment. Markus and Alexandria sat side by side in a red leather booth only a few feet away. The three other Enclave warriors hovered out of sight, watching for Arran’s next move.

The fast beat of the music hammered against Arran’s chest but didn’t drown out the pounding of his pulse in his ears. Adrenaline coursed through his veins. The moment he’d been waiting two years for was at hand. And he couldn’t fucking wait any longer.

Arran walked away from his cover and onto the dance floor. He sliced through the mass of gyrating bodies, heading toward Markus’s table. At the crowd’s center, directly in front of the vampire and his puppet, he stopped. Well over six feet tall, Arran’s height gave him the advantage of seeing over most of the dancers, and his unmoving body made for an easy target.

It didn’t take long. Within minutes, Markus’s dark glare landed on Arran and froze. Yeah, it’s me, you son of a bitch.

Once made, Arran rocketed across the dance floor. His short burst of speed insured Markus would follow his path. After his third maneuver through the crowd, Arran had made it to the hallway’s entrance that led to the back of the restaurant. He didn’t look up, but he knew Guerin was there. High in the club’s open rafters, the Enclave’s second in command waited in his assigned position with the dose of ketamine that would take down Marguerite’s sex toy.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t my long-lost partner.” Markus’s deep voice rolled down Arran’s spine in a sinister wave, making his gut twist. Slowly, he shook his head in disbelief. Even the tone of his voice had changed. Darkened. Before all this, Arran would never have believed his former partner capable of such depravity, that he would ever become a willing partner in Marguerite’s plan to dominate humanity, which meant taking down the very team to whom he’d once sworn his allegiance.

Arran rotated on his heels and faced the vampire who’d betrayed them. Markus looked like the harbinger of death, dressed all in black with chains crisscrossing his chest. He flashed Arran a lazy smile, one that easily conveyed where he believed he stood in this war. Markus thought he’d already won.

Less than a second later, four minion vampires swooped in. Two behind Markus, one on either side of Arran.

Party time.

A hiss of air blew past Arran’s left ear. Markus jerked and flung his hand up to his neck. Jackpot. His mouth gaped, and he stumbled back. The aluminum ketamine dart, protruding from his neck, winked in the club’s strobes. The two minions behind Markus grabbed their master as his knees crumpled. A shrill cry rent the darkened club. Alexandria was on her feet, screaming at the top of her lungs. The other two minions closed in and seized Arran.

Kenric appeared in the center of the club. In a loud, booming voice, he sent out a command that had the humans scurrying for the doors.
