Chapter 9

I woke to pounding on the side of the camper and a shout from Ahura. Sitting up, I vaulted over Fin, who was mumbling groggy curses. I snatched up my blades and handgun before yanking open the door. The others were stirring behind me, slowly realizing they should grab weapons. But all my attention was on what greeted me outside the camper.

Ahura was dancing around Jenny, her curved blades drawn. Jenny took a vicious swipe at her, but didn't even come close to connecting. Ahura moved like a deadly predator, and I could tell she was just playing with the bodyguard. I still didn't know what the hell Ahura was, but whatever she was, she clearly wasn't a fuzzy little bunny shifter.

The ground rumbled and the quiet night was ruined by the sound of several motorcycle engines. The group of bikers sped toward the camper, and a spray of bullets pinged off the armored beast.

"Fuck!" I hissed, ducking into the shadows so I wouldn't be an easy target. Someone started to open the camper door, but I kicked it shut again. "Stay the fuck in there. It's bullet proof." I hoped.

I leveled my handgun at one of the bikers and squeezed off a shot, hitting them in the chest and sending them into a nasty skid that took down one of the other bikes in the process.

"What the hell is going on?" I shouted, glancing to Ahura.

Well, shit.

She held the bodyguard's severed head by the hair and gave it a little shake. "This little shit-stain sold us out." She flung the head away, wiped her hand on her pants and kicked the rest of the body aside. "From what I gathered, she was a jealous cunt, and our new sovereign has a really rich rival willing to pay her well for her revenge."

I groaned. More fucking drama and politics. The bikers raced by, peppering us with shots. But we kept to the shadows, where they couldn't see us. Thinking there was no one left alive outside, they pulled up and got off the bikes.

"Curs," Ahura whispered, her red eyes glowing in the deep shadows beside the camper. I wondered how she could tell for sure, but I didn't question it.

She cocked an arm back and threw one of her blades like a boomerang. It took off a guy's hand before embedding itself into his chest. He fell, gurgling and trying to shift into something with fur.

I squeezed off a few more shots, taking down two more goons and winging another. But now they knew where we were.

I growled, leaping into the fray with my blades. Ahura sprang from the earth beside me, retrieving her blade and using the pair of knives in a spinning dance of death that resembled a deadly tornado.

One of the guys managed to slip past us and yank open the camper door with his increased strength as the rest of his companions died. He met the end of Fin's sawed-off shotgun and went flying backward with a blast to the chest.
