“Julia,” Alexei moaned, rushing to his sister as soon as she exited the warehouse. They crashed into each other, embracing, just as I reached Sam and swept her into my arms. She clutched at me desperately, but I addressed Janusz, standing behind the women, looking as panicked as I’d ever seen him. There was no time for tearful reunions.

“What’s the situation?” I asked him.

“You need to get them out of here. Mirea’s coming. He’s waiting for you with at least a dozen guards—”

“Lazar!” A door farther down the outer wall of the warehouse smashed open, and a ferocious shout froze us all. It was a limping Mirea, flanked by a small army of imposing vampires with flaming eyes, ready for battle.

I turned to Alexei. “Take them back to the club.”

“But—”

“Now!”

With Julia by his side, he grabbed Sam around the waist and hauled her away from me at the same moment the guards gave chase, moving at speeds so fast, even to my eyes they were blurs. But I was older. Faster. Stronger.

As battle rage filled me, I became the ancient warrior again, the right hand of the Voivode of Wallachia, Prince Dracula. Ruthless. Relentless. Unstoppable.

My nails grew into curving claws sharp as Damascus steel. My fangs extended into two-inch daggers, two of my lower teeth as well, so that when I sank them into the first vampire’s throat, I nearly decapitated him. I leapt and slashed with my nails through the spine of the next guard, then gave chase to the rest, for they’d already lost their courage. I was a whirlwind of death, ripping out spines, tearing heads from shoulders.

I vaguely saw Janusz fighting another swarm of guards who’d poured out of the warehouse. The crimson light of war took over his eyes as a small army of vampires swarmed over him, driving him to the ground. Then he threw them off and continued fighting.

I searched for Mirea. Screamed his name. I raced through the warehouse at blinding speed, searched for his scent, leapt from the rafters, climbed to the warehouse roof… But he was gone. The coward!

My vision hyperfocused, I was able to see Alexei’s silver BMW already on the highway some miles off, and I hung my head as relief shivered my shoulders.

I sensed Janusz joining me on the roof. Crouched, balanced with one fist on the corrugated tin, I spoke without looking at him. “You’d better have a good explanation, Janusz.” Uttered through my heavy fangs, my words were low and slurred, more growled than spoken.

He’d been down in Alexei’s catacombs with us when he’d gotten a phone call. Without indicating anything was amiss, he’d gone upstairs to the club. Even called us to let us know the women were fine. Alexei and I had become absorbed in our work, until my cell rang, and it was Janusz, telling us to hurry to the address of an abandoned warehouse. That Sam and Julia had been taken.

Our horror when we bolted upstairs and realized the truth was matched only by our urgency to reach the warehouse.
