My veins turned to ice. Kahanov’s voice was just like it had been in my dreams.

Except now, the nightmare was real.

We were flanking the door to the gallery, our backs pressed up against the wall. My index finger burned on the trigger of my pistol, and my heartbeat was so loud, I was sure the entire town could hear it. I was going to finally be face to face with that asshole. He’d hunted, imprisoned, and haunted me, and if that wasn’t enough, he’d turned me into a monster.

The writhing hatred that rose in my chest was so strong that I could barely see. Pain shot through my jaw as my canines erupted, and my fingertips itched.

Let me rip his throat out, the wolf growled in my mind.

I stood firm against her. Not a chance. He’s mine.

Slowly, the itching subsided, but my canines didn’t retract. I nodded to Jaxson. Ready.

On a three count, Jaxson and Amal swung into the room, claws out. I followed behind, pistol raised to cover them.

No one was there.

My heartbeat drowned out all sound as they rushed along the sides of cases. There wasn’t enough cover to conceal a blood demon, but I could smell it.

Where is—

The breath exploded from my lungs, and my pistol flew from my grasp as a brutal force ripped me up into the air. Suddenly, I was face to face with a blood demon, suspended from the ceiling. My heart clenched with terror as the demon lurched along the roof of the gallery, holding me dangling from its claws.

In a blur of motion, Jaxson leapt to the wall and climbed. He was on us in seconds, and he sunk his claws into the thing’s leg and pulled. The demon lost its grip on the ceiling, and we dropped.

Agony ripped through my shoulder as I slammed into the ground. I rolled over to get away from the sinuous monster, but the demon lashed out with its sickly green talons and dug them into my leg. Searing pain tore through me, and I screamed.

Jaxson jumped to my side and wrenched the demon’s grasping hands away. It howled and roared, but the unearthly sound was cut short as Jaxson tore through its throat.

Blood sprayed over me as I scrambled forward on my knees, searching for my gun.

Wolf time?

No, I thought, my hands shaking from shock and pain.

Blasts of wicked green flames roared around us, and I scampered behind a display case just in time to see Kahanov spider-climb across the ceiling and drop down behind a case on the far side. What the fuck?

His voice echoed through the room. “Jaxson, let’s be reasonable. Hand over the girl, and I’ll wake your wolves. I’ll even give her back when I’m done, to make things fair. On my own blood oath, I only need a part of her soul.”

“She’s mine. I’ll never hand her over,” Jaxson snarled, the sound verging on animalistic.

My wolf surged in my chest, but my stomach twisted. Two men arguing over who would have me?

Screw that.
