“Who the hell are you assholes?” Dee demanded and damn if the woman didn’t put herself in front of him.
Aw, well, wasn’t that sweet? But, considering the way he was starting to waver on his feet, maybe it was necessary, too.
“We’re the welcome wagon, sweetheart.” From Leo. He crossed his arms, raked his gaze over her, and seemed to ignore the flames.
“Uh, yeah? Well, here’s a tip. Flowers work well. They say, ‘Hi, here’s a present.’ Fire, ummm, not so much.” The stake was in her hand. Dripping blood.
Leo’s black stare drifted to Simon. “You sure this is the side you want to choose, buddy?”
Before he could speak, Dee growled. “Buddy? Hell, Simon, tell me you don’t know these freaks.”
A laugh from Leo. Should have been a warning. It was. “I’m Leo, and I’m the one who changed Simon, and Katya?—”
Katya smiled. Don’t go there. Don’t!
“She’s the one who gave him his first vampire fuck.”
Oh, great. Like he needed this shit. “Let’s just kill them, okay?” The talk was part of Leo’s technique. A way to distract. To weaken.
Dee glanced at the redhead. “How about that?” She fired Simon a hot stare. “Bad taste. You go for killers? Because Katya, I’ve heard about you.”
The Russian liked her bloodbaths, so it was no surprise that Dee had picked up stories on the vamp.
“I didn’t screw her, Dee.” The bloodlust had been riding him hard when Leo had brought him in the pack. But he’d fought the dark temptation and Katya.
Katya wasn’t the kind of vampire he wanted. Dee was. “I’m not like them.” Could she see that?
Her eyes held his a second longer. “I know.”
“Whore.” Katya pulled two knives from the sheaths on her hips. “I’m going to cut your head off.” Fifty years and the woman’s accent still rolled Russian.
A sigh from Dee. “Bring it.”
Katya lunged forward with knives up and fangs bared. She went in quick for a brutal attack and?—
Dee drove her stake into the vampiress’s heart.
Katya fell to the ground.
“Next.”
He blinked. No, Dee hadn’t just said?—
Vince screamed and barreled toward her. Oh, right, rumors said Vince and Katya had been an item since his change.
Dee scooped up Katya’s knives. Sliced fast and deep.
Another body hit the ground. This one, um, minus a head.
“You ready?” Dee asked a no-longer grinning Leo. “Or do you want to make things interesting and try to run?”
Yes. Simon had been right about her. She’d be more than strong enough to kick Grim’s ass. The Born Master would go down. This nightmare could end. Finally.
Sirens wailed in the distance. The cops were coming. So someone had finally noticed the giant ball of fire that was eating its way into the night?
“More will come for you.” Leo spat on the ground.
One shoulder lifted as Dee gave a careless shrug. “Let them.”
