Locked.

We look at each other.

“On three?” I lift my brows.

Nix exhales. “Three.”

We slam into the steel door.

Chapter 141

Vameer

The faint sound of Rune’s shout in the distance distracts me.

A dagger stabs into my chest. And I feel the tip of it pierce my heart.

Gravito bursts out of me, blowing back nine of the ten guards attacking me.

I grip the tenth by the throat and pull him closer.

The dagger pushes farther into my chest.

And I ignore the pain while I pull him even closer.

His eyes are wide as the dagger sinks to the hilt. My heart beats steadily around it.

I lean in so my face is inches from his as I hiss, “Your magic isn’t strong enough.”

I turn my hand, so my fingers are hooked under his chin. Then I rip his head from his body.

I throw the head at the tent up the hill, pull the dagger free from my chest, then chuck it into the eye socket of another guard.

By the time the blade lands, the wound in my chest is already healed.

Two guards turn in the direction Rune went and jump.

But I jump faster.

I reach them before they even reach the trees.

They struggle as I drag them back to earth, but I have each of them in a headlock. And I will not be letting them go.

Fire Touch roils through my veins.

They were headed toward my mate.

I let my Fire Touch loose as I drag them to the burning cabin.

I’m out of daggers. So this will have to do.

They push gravito out. Trying to dislodge my hold. But it doesn’t work.

I hardly feel it as I walk them into the structure.

Into the inferno.

Flames swell. Heat rages. And the vampires in my hold turn to ash.
