Chapter 6

Mercy plastered herself to Tavish’s side. Earlier that morning, Tavish had walked her to a huge fence. He told her it surrounded his coven. He explained to her the area it stretched around was massive. Beyond were three more covens Tavish told her he allowed to reside in his territory. Each was defined by the large fence. Each was patrolled by vampires of Tavish’s choice. All swore fealty to him. Each coven was allowed twelve vampires and no more—all were male. No one was allowed to be turned without his authority. Tavish was overseer of the humans in each coven. The other vampires treated their humans the way Tavish did. It was law. The fence was twenty feet high, a foot thick and made of a thick silver substance that looked harder than solid ice. Mercy had no idea how Perrin had ever gotten around this.

Before her stood what Tavish called a silverback gorilla. She was beautiful—and enormous. The creature was Mercy’s height and about six hundred pounds. To Mercy, she looked like a hybrid furry human. The gorilla was fascinating and seemed to find Mercy equally fascinating.

“Lucile, this is my little human cub, and she is not to be harmed,” Tavish was saying.

Lucile’s eyes glowed bright white. Long yellow fangs hung almost to her chin. Mercy wanted to run. For a second she looked up at Tavish and swallowed hard when she noted his glowing eyes. Mercy inched farther behind him. Next, Tavish turned to her. His eyes went back to pale blue.

“You must never leave the safety of the walls, little cub,” he lectured. “Lucile has a fondness for human females and children; my other Anivamps do not always hold them in the same regard.”

“Others?” Mercy whispered. There were more?

Mercy almost screamed when a massive creature Tavish said was a white tiger emerged from the foliage. Lucile grunted and climbed a tree, but she didn’t move away.

“This is Druid,” Tavish said.

The tiger roared at them, exposing its formidable teeth and Tavish hissed. Both of their large fangs looked menacing. The tiger moved off, growling deep within his throat. Mercy thought she might wet herself. Next, a white wolf appeared. Mercy had seen the pelt of an animal like this before. It was more beautiful alive than dead, but a great deal more ominous. The wolf, also white-eyed, dropped his head and snarled. Fangs hung past his chin. Tavish snarled louder. Mercy was shaking so badly she knew if Tavish didn’t have his arm wrapped around her, she would have fallen. Tavish called the wolf Lovel. The next creature to appear Tavish called a wild boar and told her its name was Rhino.

Once Mercy had seen his Anivamps, she swore she would never run. In fact, she repeated it over and over until Tavish shushed her. Tavish looked convinced. He flew back over the wall with her. Mercy clung to him; she buried her face into his chest. She had a terrible thought and began sobbing. Tavish cupped her chin and forced her to look at him.
