CHAPTER 21
Zane skidded as he rounded a bend, emerging into an antechamber. A pot lay overturned on a stove, its contents foul and smoking. A babyâs blanket lay on a table, and the roar of lycans echoed from the corridor beyond.
He stepped beyond the chamber and paused at what he saw. A long hallway stretched toward a door that was now shut, a fire extinguisher wedged between the handle to prevent it being opened from the other side. Vampires were pounding on the door, yelling, but as yet, the door held.
Harris leaned against a cell door, blood streaming down his face from a cut above his eye, and his arm badly broken.
At his feet lay three vampire guardians, necks twisted at awkward angles. Harris lifted his gaze, and recognition flared when he saw Zane.
Zane didnât hide his confusion. Harris shrugged, then winced, holding his arm. âThey came to kill the prisoners.â
Zaneâs eyes widened. Harris had stopped his own kind from killing werewolves. He shook his head, still confused. âWhy?â Why did this vampire guardian standâat his own perilâbetween his own kind and the lycans?
Harris smiled weakly. âMy grandmother was a redhead. A sweet little old lady. She made great cakes.â He wiped at the blood on his forehead, and it took Zane a moment to realize he hadnât reacted to the sight or scent of blood. âShe was also a lycan.â Harris moved his head in the direction of the door he leaned against. âThey wanted to start with her.â
He moved a little so that Zane could peer through the slide window. A young woman with hair that looked like it could have been a burnished red-brown underneath the grime and oil was chained against a wall. She lifted her head, a familiar set of green eyes stared back at him. Calebâs daughter.
âSheâs a scion,â Zane said. He reached for the door handle, then hesitated. He was going to free her. Her and the rest of the werewolves in here. As soon as they saw a vampire, though, all hell would break loose, and after what Harris had done, he didnât deserve to die.
Harris sighed, resigned, as he realized his intent. âYou know, this is becoming a habit. Wait,â he said, as Zane reached for him. âGive the girl my jackeââ
Zane snapped his neck before he could finish the sentence, and he gently lowered Harris to the ground. He pulled Harrisâs jacket off him, grimacing at the fluidity of the broken arm in the sleeve, and then yanked the door open, breaking the lock.
âYouâre Calebâs daughter,â he said, to put her at ease as he strode in and pulled the chains from the wall. He slid Harrisâs jacket over the girlâs trembling shoulders.
She nodded. âRoryâAurora.â
He smiled. âYour dadâs here. Help me release the others, then you can find him.â
She nodded, then stepped toward the door. She stepped over Harris, then turned to look down at the unconscious vampire. âHe saved me,â she whispered, her brows drawn together in confusion.
Zane nodded.
