Attack. Two vehicles. One from behind, one from the side.
Right before sunrise. And as the sun drifted higher, we would be weak.
Smart bastards, she’d give them that, she’d give them?—
Simon’s hand dropped.
Dee sucked in a sharp breath. What— “Simon!” The blood on her tongue, the warmth in her veins.
His.
All his.
She turned her head to the left as she craned to see him. “Simon!”
A weak smile curved his lips. Such pale lips. Such tired eyes.
“What did you do?” she cried. Stupid to ask, she knew. She fumbled. Managed to grab his hand and hold tight.
“You…had to live.”
So did he. Dammit, so did he.
His eyes began to close. “Don’t…watch me…”
Her fingers clenched around his. “We’re gonna get out of here.” They were trapped in a freaking tin can, but she’d get them out.
Crushed. Smashed in by the two vehicles and left trapped. The bastards would pay.
“Promise…don’t watch…me…” His eyes closed as he finished, “Die.”
No. “Simon?” The chill was back, raising the hairs on her arms and numbing her flesh. “Simon?” She squeezed his hand and realized what he’d done.
His life, for her. Bastard.
Dee dropped his hand and shoved against the metal. Shoved and pushed and jerked and twisted and?—
Tears trekked down her cheeks as the sunlight poured onto her. “You’re not leaving me!” A scream.
Not like her father.
Her sister.
Her mother.
No one else would die for her. No one.
Dee screamed her fury into the light and kicked up with her knees. Bones snapped, flesh ripped, but she fought through the pain and tried to tear her way out of the hell that held them in its hungry grasp.

When he saw the SUV, saw the metal tossed away on the side of the road, Zane’s heart seemed to stop.
“Holy fuck.” From Jude. The shifter had found him at the motel and helped him to kick the shit out of those vampires.
You won’t find her. The bitch’ll be dead before you even get close. Last words from one of the vamps.
Zane slammed on the brakes.
