Raina nodded, but Slade noticed the rebellious look sparking in the brown depths of her eyes. He was going to have to stick closer to her than a pair of leather riding chaps if he wanted to make sure she didn’t get into anything she couldn’t handle. She might be a trained police officer, but he knew damn well that there was no training available to mortals on handling the kind of storm they’d wandered into.

Achilles and Dr. Chamberlin took each other’s hand and vanished into a spin of dark particles.

Raina shook her head. “I don’t know if I’m ever going to get used to you vampires doing the genie, smoke-and-mirror thing.”

Slade could tell it wasn’t the transporting that agitated her—she was badly shaken by what Achilles had said. He put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a light and easy smile, trying to reassure her and find a way to take her mind off Achilles’s accurate but unsettling warning. “You actually did really well on your first transport. Want to see something else cool?” He fluxed, turning invisible.

She jumped back slightly, then spun around, looking for him. “Slade? This isn’t funny. Where are you?”

He phased through the wall of the security room, the shift in his particles passing through the solid structure of the wall feeling a lot like walking through thick-set gelatin. Fluxing back into his visible form, he opened the door from the other side on a shocked Raina.

“There’s a lot more to being a vampire than you’re aware of. Same goes for the Weres. What you’ve seen is just the surface. I know you don’t like being kept here, but it really is for your own safety.”

Raina swept a loose strand of her dark hair that had escaped her severe bun, confining it behind her ear. “So what do we do now? Shouldn’t you get that broken arm looked at?”

“No point. It’s practically healed. We’re going to sit down, put our heads together and come up with a plan.” They walked in companionable silence through the maze of hallways leading back to the atrium. He was grateful she was not the kind of woman who needed to run her mouth just to fill in a stretch of quiet. It gave him time to think.

A Were-vampire turf war was one thing. A turf war handcrafted by the goddess of chaos was quite another.

Slade had seen for himself the kind of confusion, desperation and fear she loved to cause. She didn’t care who was hurt or in turmoil as long as someone was. She lived on aggression, torment and disruption—literally inhaling it. Just thinking of the last time he’d come up against the goddess when he’d been backup
