Within seconds, I climb over to the next window and slip back inside the castle. I’m in the library and I quietly creep out into the hall.
A growl rips from deep inside me when I see Dustin slamming his shoulder into my bedroom door, trying to get in.
Dustin whips his head around and spots me. In a blur, he yanks an arrow out of his quiver, places it on his crossbow, and fires. It sails right at me, but I easily move out of the way and catch it.
His face drops as I snap it in two.
“You’re going to have to do better than that,” I say as I feel Alice’s virgin blood flowing through me, making me almost invincible.
He tosses his crossbow onto the floor and draws his sword.
“How much is the bounty on a vampire’s head?” I ask him as he swings the sword from side to side, warming up his wrists.
“Ten million,” he answers as he stares me down.
“Wow.” I’m impressed. I didn’t think the Czarina Coven was that motivated to get rid of us. I guess I was wrong.
“That’s right, wow,” he says as he begins to walk forward. “Time to get paid.”
He raises his sword in the air as he sprints toward me. With a roar, he swings the sword down, but I easily move out of the way.
“You’re going to need more than a sword for this bounty,” I say as he swings again and tries to take my head off. I bend backward and he misses. “You’re going to need a miracle.”
He tries to swing the sword back around, but I catch his hand and hold him in place. He punches me with his free hand, but it’s like punching a rock and hurts him more than it hurts me.
I slam him into the wall and he drops his sword. It hits the ground with a clatter as I pick him up and throw him into the library.
He crashes into my chair by the fire and then climbs up to his feet, looking panicked as he tries to grab anything within reach. He grabs my book off the coffee table and throws Voltaire’s Candide at me. It bounces off my chest as I walk toward him.
The coffee table quickly follows and I duck out of the way, grinning as it crashes into the wall behind me.
“You grabbed my girl,” I hiss as I stare him down. “You tied her up. You left her to die.”
“She was bait,” he shouts as he walks backward toward the open window. “To get you.”
“She’s mine alone to look at,” I snap back at him. “Mine alone to touch. You’re going to die for laying those dirty hands on her.”
He covers his face and cries out as I kick him hard in the chest. The impact sends him flying and he tumbles out of the window, disappearing down below.
I take a deep breath as I roll my head from side to side and then straighten out my shirt. He’s dead now. It’s all over.
Alice is in the other room and now we’re free to continue where we left off.
I pick up the coffee table and my book and return them in front of the fireplace.
The fire is only embers now, but the warmth reminds me of what’s waiting for me back in the room. Alice’s sweet ripe pussy.
With a grin on my lips, I leave the library and walk back down the hall.
“It’s me,” I say as I arrive at the door. “Stand back.”
I turn the door handle and use my shoulder to move the armoire. I feel stronger than ever and I move it easily.
My cock is already hardening as I walk into the room. “We don’t have to worry about—Shit.”
Somehow, Dustin is in the room. He’s hiding behind Alice and has a knife to her throat.
He must have climbed up the stone wall. This fucker is more powerful than I gave him credit for.
“Let her go,” I warn him. “You let go and I’ll let you walk out of here.”
“I’m not walking out of here without your head,” he hisses.
Rage and fear are twisting through me, making my pulse race as I glare at him.
“I’ve been searching for you for seven years,” Dustin snaps. “I’m not leaving without my bounty.”
I’m stronger than ever, but I feel so helpless as I look at Alice’s face. She looks scared, but there’s something different about her. Her face has lost that pink hue. It’s looking deathly pale. She’s stunning in a different, deadlier way now.
She’s beginning to turn.
A minute or two and she’ll be there.
“I knew you’ve been holed up here for a while so I thought you’d be thirsty,” he says. “That’s why I brought her. To tempt you out of hiding.”
“So, what’s the plan now? You kill a girl I care nothing about?”
