It’s a Luna-damned slaughter.

When Walker announced “to the death”, I bet every single shifter in the district was convinced that it would be to the vampire’s death. If so, they were wrong. Aleks shows no mercy. In less than two minutes, he’s disabled the wolf’s hind legs, gouged out one eye, and, as the finale, hoisted the twitching, defeated beast by the neck before plunging his fangs past the fur, past the muscle, sucking so deeply that the shifter is nothing but a desiccated rug by the time Aleks is done.

He drank an entire wolf shifter, and after he was done, my former roommate threw him to the dirt before wheeling around, looking for another target.

I watched in a mixture of horror and pride. Part of me couldn’t reconcile this monster with the Aleksander Filan I’ve known for over a year. Then again, if someone threw me in the pit and told me to fight for my life, I’d do whatever it took to survive. Aleks did. That definitely deserves some pride.

He won. Thank the freaking Luna. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had to watch Aleks hunted in front of me—

I’ve barely had half that thought when Walker calls out for his Beta.

Christian is one of the wolves ringing the pit. “Yes, Alpha?”

“Shoot him.”

What?

Christian pulls a gun out of Luna knows where. One second, his hands are empty. The next? He has a heavy-looking pistol that spits out bullets faster than even my shifter’s eyes can catch.

He’s a fucking marksman, too. In about fix seconds, he’s put a bullet in Aleks left thigh, his left shin, his right thigh, his right shin, and his right shoulder just as Aleks shoots his hand out.

The first bullet stopped Aleks dead in his tracks. By the time he had four in him, he collapsed to his knees. The one in his shoulder took away any chance that he could grab one of the nearby shifters before his whole body locked up.

There’s only one thing that can do that to a supe, and especially a vampire.

Silver bullets. Christian shot Aleks full of silver bullets.

And now I know exactly how Walker got his paws on my friend.

Pumped full of silver, even a vicious vampire is as docile as a lamb.
