“The bastards are heading in that direction as well. I think it’s a panic room. If they get in before us, they might be able to shut us down.” Monroe picks up his pace, guiding us faster down the tunnel.

A growl sounds from the right, but I don’t get a chance to see the vampire before Cooper takes the guy out, sending blood splashing across me. It’s too dark to see, but I automatically lick my lips and taste the spicy, disgusting blood.

“Govan, go with Monroe. You guys can get there first a lot faster. We will be right behind you.” Sawyer pulls out his own com device and taps the screen. “Tate? Do you hear me?”

A crackle sounds through the air as the com device connects and a projection shines across the tunnel. I see Tatum and Walcott, splattered with blood and standing in what looks like a lobby of some sort.

“What’s up? We’re all clear on the ground level.” Tatum flashes her fangs with her words. “Not many have tried to escape this way. We have the whole area surrounded though.”

“Perfect. We’re going to need you to meet us upstairs. Sixty-second floor.” Sawyer picks up his pace, and the world blurs around me. We are no longer sneaking through the tunnels. We’re going to just attack the leadership head on.

Anyone who gets in our way is going down.

“On our way now.” Tatum thins her lips, the projection glowing all around us, casting enough light that I can see another vampire up ahead. Knox rushes forward and slices his short sword through the guy’s neck, sending his head rolling.

“Have Walcott prep for the announcement. Monroe’s going to meet you guys there. We need to make it fast.” Sawyer tightens his arms around me. “We are going to do a public execution if we can.”

My heart slides in my stomach. I can’t believe it.

This is it.

The leadership is going down.

Humanity will rise again.

Chapter eighteen

Monroe

Revelations

Bloodpumpsthroughmyveins, and I flex my muscles as I run with Govan ahead of the others. Sawyer could keep up, but I know he would prefer if we clear the path for them. He also knows that I don’t show mercy, and if I can take out every threat along the way, it’ll be easier on Hayley.

Her dhampir nature has turned her into the sexiest of savages I’ve ever seen. She gets right to my cock, and I swear I’m going to have an eternal boner if she continues to be so psychotic. I love it. I love everything about it, and I could watch her take out hearts and cut off heads all day long. Something about the power just gets to me so good that I swear I can channel her strength and move faster. Think quicker. Strategize even better. I don’t even have to pay as close attention before I can zone in on the fuckers trying to protect what’s left of their covens.

“To your right. Ten feet. The fucker’s hiding.” I whisper the words to Govan, letting him go ahead of me. He would never admit it, not like Walcott, but he takes just as much joy in slaughtering assholes than I do. If only we didn’t have to be so merciful right now. I know these sons of bitches are awful to donors. They were probably just lurking and waiting for their leaders to finally have enough with us and take control. Because it’s always those who are psychos like me. But my taste for blood is solely for asshole vampires. The fewer of them around, the better. I remember what it was like to be a donor, and I remember what it was like to turn. I lost everyone except for my cousin. And even then, the divisions that they put us through were complete and utter bullshit. I’m just glad that I have the Bella Crew in my family. I can’t imagine a life being a little bitch boy for one of the leaders.

I can’t wait to see them trembling and clutching their cocks, knowing that we tend to go for those first. Because they think they’re so manly with them, and they like to think that their dicks give them strength, which is why they are so fucking awful, but they are going to pay. I will do whatever I can to ensure they get the end they deserve.

“There’s a fucker on your left. He’s hiding as well.” Govan motions his hand to an alcove, where a vampire crouches down in silence.

I shine the light from my com device over him, and his eyes widen and flash silver as if he’s an animal getting caught by a predator.

I laugh, my voice echoing through the tunnel. “You’re a little bitch without the strength of your coven, huh?”

The vampire doesn’t even get a chance to open his mouth before I shove my blade into his throat, silencing his words. It seems wasteful to let it just pour out here, because I could draw Hayley a blood bath and we could have some fun, but shit has to keep going.

I’ve got to take as many fuckers down as I can.

So I abandon the possibility of a trophy and keep going until Govan and I reach the end of the hallway with another access door. I use Narcisa’s code, hoping that it will deter the leadership from knowing it’s us. I blocked the cam so they couldn’t see her body, and I know that they might be thinking that she managed to overpower us and are joining them. We have to use whatever we can to our advantage.

The door clicks open for me, and Govan sets a dead body in front of it, blocking it from closing and locking again. This will help the others get through as quickly as possible, and they can follow our trail without having to navigate using the security feeds in maps.

My com device chirps and I look at the screen, watching as Tate and Walcott reach the sixty-second floor. I better hustle. They’re going to need me as back up, because knowing their crazy asses, they’re going to try to get the leaders themselves.

I slide past Govan and zone in on the stairs, taking two at a time and zooming up as fast as I can. The world blurs around me, and my body goes into fight mode as I slash and sever the heads of at least six vampires on my way up.

Bright light engulfs me as I shove through the door of the 62nd floor stairwell and enter the building. Cameras blink everywhere, and I hear the familiar ding of the shock alarms preparing to go off. I swipe my hand over my com device and click the buttons quickly as I can, disabling them to ensure that no one goes down because of the bastards.
