My blood hums, and I get the taste for a little killing. Sadie can’t be the big bad if she’s six feet under. And Kimber can finally have peace knowing that her past will never come back to haunt her.
“Good. Where is she?”
He rolls his eyes. “He didn’t say. He knew we’d leave him behind because we’re impatient like that. He’s got Reese helping him out since he’s the head of the Were council, and Gage is the head of the dark user council. I figure it’ll be morning before he’s back.”
Roslyn walks back out, biting her lip in an attempt to not smile.
“It’s all fixed. Sorry about that,” she says shyly.
Zee cocks an eyebrow at me, then looks to her. “Two animals fucking each other in one house could be problematic.”
Roslyn’s cheeks flame, and I laugh while tugging her to me.
“We’ll be back before dawn. We’re going to take a little stroll through the woods. While we’re out there, we’ll do a quick sweep for any of the blood-starved night stalkers.”
Roslyn snuggles in closer, resting her head on my chest as though she can’t get close enough. My immortal girl has lots of stamina, because she doesn’t seem tired.
“I’ll come find you if Gage comes back before dawn. I’m sure you don’t want to miss out on…” His words trail off when he realizes Roslyn’s still in my arms, and she stiffens in my arms.
“Definitely come find me. After we do a sweep, we’ll stay close to the house. Just not too close. Wouldn’t want a tree collapsing on the place.”
Zee laughs while backing away. “I’m about to hit my club. I need a bite.”
Roslyn tilts her head as though she’s confused, but I pull her toward the woods with me. I never bothered putting on a shirt, so her hands keep touching my skin and driving me fucking crazy.
“Club?” she asks as we make our way down the quiet lake beach.
Everyone’s at a party on the other end of the lake right now. Which means the blood-starved night stalkers might be there.
“Zee has a club where humans come to role play. And several people ‘pretend’ to be vampires to feed off them. No one dies. Night stalkers and other blood drinkers get fed.”
She shudders, and I cock my eyebrow. That disgusts her?
“Human blood is so gross,” she explains.
I laugh while she tucks herself against my side, and I run my fingers through her hair. “Well, night stalkers can live off a witch’s blood, but they also go a little crazy if that’s all they have. Unless you’re a creature god like Alyssa and Kane—they can live off each other’s blood, and do.”
And now my girl can live off me.
“You up for handling blood-starved night stalkers? If they have too many, we’ll come back for reinforcements.”
She kisses the side of my chest, and I let my hand move to squeeze her ass. Fuck work. I just want to play.
“I can handle them. Your blood sort of recharged my system. You’re strong. A lot stronger than a changer should be.”
“Gatekeeper,” I remind her.
“What’s going on at dawn, Gatekeeper?” she asks, teasing me a little.
“There’s someone out there we suspect being a part of this slave ring thing—someone who has been a part of it before. We’re going on a witch hunt to get some answers. I’ll probably be gone a while. Don’t say anything to Dice. Not everyone knows.”
She tenses beside me.
“Who’s going?”
“Zee, me, Kimber, and Gage. The others don’t have it in them to do what needs to be done before Sadie does her worst to us.”
“So Sadie is bad?” she asks so earnestly.
