He was covered now, at least.

He had a low slung pair of jeans and a cotton shirt that he had yet to button, his sculpted chest and belly catching her eye every time he moved. His bare feet padded over the forest floor in silence—next to her—his hand linked with hers as they followed Eli.

They were walking now.

Eli had ushered them into a car after assisting Caleb, almost lovingly, like a parent, to lie down. Tori had heard his hushed orders to Nina to see them fed, to see that they drank, and that they rested. She had forced herself to approach them, even though she was still embarrassed, so uncomfortable with what she had done. But she had looked Caleb in the eye, James was still sleeping. “Thank you,” she said stiffly before turning and stalking away, her arms crossed over her pleasantly full tummy.

Shocking though, as they walked through a scraggly stand of trees, her belly was already seeming to empty.

“It’s because you haven’t gorged.”

She slid Eli a sidelong glance and lifted an eyebrow. He said, “You have to feed heavily at first. You’re developing your strength and building reserves. In time, you can learn to go a week or more between feedings. But you must first fully sate that hunger.”

His eyes flicked to the hand she had pressed against her belly, and then to the fangs that had yet to retract. “I know the signs of hunger, as I suffer them myself. And I know confusion and frustration when I see them,” he said, his voice soft with sympathy.

“I imagine, once you see what I have to show you, this feeding will be easier. After this, we can simply let you feed from a number of my people, but—”

Tori froze as a weak, pitiful whimper sounded through the dark trees, so far away, but so very clear.

Eli sighed, his handsome face grim, as he slid his eyes in the direction of the cry. “I hate the suffering of innocents. But the monsters who cause it…” His eyes started to glow and his fangs slid out, an unworldly power sliding over him.

Behind her, Declan paced alongside their back trail, his bare feet soundless on the forest floor. “This is a just thing you will do, Tori,” he murmured, his hands flexing and clenching, while his eyes gleamed with fury. “Do you smell her fear? Her blood? Tis a bad one you’ve found for us, Eli.”

“What’s going on?” Tori asked.

But then that fading whimper was replaced by a scream. Next to her, Eli said coldly, “Run. And find her.”
