Chapter 25

Keeping well out of sight, Jasper followed Dominic and the woman at a distance, waiting for his chance. Time after time, he’d let one opportunity after another to catch the pair slip by. But it had to be tonight.

The Elder Knight’s patience was rapidly running out. And so was Claret’s. He swore as he followed Dominic and the girl out of the movie theater to the parking lot. How the hell had he gotten into this predicament? And if and when he managed to capture Dominic, how the hell was he going to decide who should get the vampire—the witch or the Knight? No matter in whose favor he decided, the other one was going to be mad as hell. He couldn’t decide which was more dangerous, the Elder Knight or the Transylvanian vampire. Both were powerful. Both were ruthless.

Cursing the fate that had brought him to such a precarious decision, Jasper got in his car. Keeping a safe distance between them, he followed the pair to the woman’s house and drove on past.

He parked his car three blocks away, concealed his presence, and walked back to the female’s residence, hoping to take the vampire unaware after he told the woman good night.

As far as he knew, Ava hadn’t yet figured out a way to dispel the darkness he still felt inside Maddy. Was the darkness linked to her magic?

Lifting her into his arms, he carried her into her bedroom. She stirred when he removed her shoes and tucked her into bed, but didn’t wake.

He stood beside her for a long moment before returning to the living room. He paced the floor for a few minutes, then stepped outside to reinforce the wards he had set on the house.

He had just turned to go back inside when pain exploded through the back of his skull, dropping him into a well of blackness.

Dominic woke slowly, his head throbbing. Groaning softly, one hand pressed against the back of his head, he sat up. Where the hell was he? The room was pitch-black. Small. Empty. It took him a moment to realize he was inside a cage.

Frowning, he stood, wondering who the hell had whacked him as he reached for the door. Pain lanced through his hand. Silver, he thought dully. The bars were coated with silver.

Light filtered into the room as someone opened a door and stepped inside.

“Claret,” he muttered. “I should have known.”

Her smug laughter filled the air.

Dominic glared at her as a little voice in the back of his
