Chapter 19

The garage beneath the Sanctuary was loud with the sound of roaring engines. Eden hadn’t realized this vast underground space even existed, let alone that it would be filled with all sorts of cars, from high-end racers in gleaming colors to the heavily armored trucks the Shadows were currently loading up.

They were going in heavy and they were going in fast, with only Dana staying behind to protect the vassals at the Sanctuary. All the others were going to the warehouse at the docks that Eden had been able to identify on the map. The plan was to cut off the Ravager’s store of weapons entirely and destroy the supply chain so securely that no more weapons could be smuggled into the city.

Eden stood awkwardly in the corner, watching vampire guards hustle to and fro. She was going as well. She would be needed at the gate. She was their only chance to get in past the security and their impressive weaponry.

The Shadows had one of their informants outside Bloodchase right now, and he had seen Riker go in only moments ago. They weren’t sure how long Riker would remain at the club, however, so the window of opportunity was short.

“Ma’am, my name’s Benedict, I’ll be your escort.” He was tall and broad, with spiky black hair. “Please,” he said, gesturing for her to climb in. She turned and saw Talon had appeared beside the truck. He glanced at her, his gaze raking through her, then away, but he said nothing, and she didn’t break the silence. She still didn’t know what she was going to say to him. She smarted from the fact that he had kept his identity secret in the dreams.

She climbed into the back seat. At first, she thought the car was empty, dark with shadows, then she did a double take when she realized the shadows were wrapped around a figure in the back seat.

All around him was silence and stillness except the two piercing blue eyes that seemed to appear out of the darkness. His face gradually emerged, chiseled and sharp. The same breathtaking aura all the Shadows had surrounded him,
