He debated trying to persuade her further when she nodded but her expression remained skeptical, but ultimately decided against it. His parents' enticing aroma turned into a beacon, beckoning him to start the climb up into the mountains."Dara, the pull I feel is great," he said quietly, taking a half step forward. "I need you to watch our backs just in case whatever overcame my parents comes looking for me and I don't recognise the danger until it is too late."Though his tone was solemn, the blonde Vârcolac laughed, amusement dancing across her face. "I have never known you to overlook anything, whether you call yourself Agony or Kothari. I will be on alert anyway because I don't know how to do anything else, however you will know of any danger at the same time I do, Agony."For the barest of moments something alien assaulted him, a sharp gnawing feeling, an instant of doubt. Never in his existence could he remember ever feeling uncertain, and he didn't like it one bit. The moment p

Joshua nodded, his anger glinting in his eyes. "Yes, I concur. They probably wanted a senior individual to visit Europe. They were interested in your interactions, your power structure, and your self-defense strategies. Everything has been one big investigation to see where your weaknesses lie. I think it was wise to take Gard and Rayne as well. Because doing so would force everyone to travel to Europe, whoever is still outside isn't prepared for that.Pietro rose and took their glasses back to the drinks cabinet. He refilled them, returning to take up his previous position. "I agree with you, Joshua. When Freya and Nors found Michael his mind had been totally wiped. Even Liam wouldn't have been able to recover anything from the husk that was left behind. Our enemy is intelligent and resourceful. What we've learned recently shows that. Now I fear for Kothari and Dara being alone in Europe. If they are lost too, we've lost four of our strongest players here."It was a valid point and o

"I guess I need to speak to Aaron about pack security," Rafe continued, satisfied his message to his impulsive pack member had been made. "Elina and Lily have gone over to the Hanlon Compound. Kal is off into the city with Brandon and some of the Praetorians to investigate the new wolf activity over there. With three of my top pack members off to Europe and the Romanov twins being more active in the Vampire Council to back up Mara while Demetri is away, there is a gap in pack security that will need to be plugged."Rhianna rose too, nodding as she did. "Talk to Mackenzie. He can probably spare some Praetorians to increase patrols around the compound. Now they don't need to protect the children, they're at a bit of a loose end. Perhaps talk to Jared too and see if he would like any additional backup at the Hanlon compound. I think Karn went with the girls so he could maybe act as liaison between the Praetorians and the pack?""Great idea," her brother agreed, giving her a quick hug. "I

She noticed movement once more, and this time she moved stealthily in that direction, suppressing any want to run or fight. Whoever or whatever was up ahead wasn't a danger to her. In fact, a sense of ease wafted over her and she acknowledged reluctantly that it had to be Agony. That sense of ease around him had been steadily growing as they made their way up the Carpathian Mountains. The longer she remained in the volatile Vârcolac's presence the stronger the feeling became. It irritated her as much as it intrigued her. She had to admit to herself that Agony fascinated her in a way no person ever had. She didn't like it, but she was honest enough to admit the truth.With a small sigh, she broke cover of the trees into a clearing that contained a small lake of water, her breath catching as she watched the naked back of the dark-haired male before her, muscles bunching and flexing as he worked through flowing motions of arms and legs in a rhythmic pattern. For a moment Natalia forgot h

How was it possible to be so enraged at someone and yet simultaneously want to hug and soothe them? Natalia's heart broke for Agony, but another part of her wanted to stomp on his shins. She surprised me with how strong her feelings were. She would have said she didn't care what he did before she saw him cut himself beside the lake. When she first noticed his bleeding, that was when it changed.Something deep inside had broken free. Some part of her had felt pulled towards the volatile Vârcolac. She didn't understand what it was, but something had connected between them in that moment. Now she was just confused and hurt at him opening up and then turning on her. She wished her mother was here so she could speak to her about it. She knew it was forlorn to wish. Her mother wouldn't even know who she was if she were here. Still, she needed someone to talk to and she didn't know who to turn to."Is everything okay, Tali?" Dara asked, coming to sit beside her.The stunning blonde had an un
