I searched for an exit. Going through the house wasn't a possibility, it was too likely I'd run into him inside. If I tried to make it to the gate on the opposite end of the pool, he'd see me from the kitchen before I made my getaway. My heart raced when I stared at the privacy fence surrounding the yard. Collier couldn't have a nice wrought iron decorative barrier like normal rich people-he had to have a six-foot, solid-wood screen. I dragged an outdoor end table up to the fence.

The bridge was the only way in or out and was heavily guarded. Inside the pit were three housing units surrounded by gravel and dirt with a few trees and shrubs growing wild throughout. The trees were kept trimmed low to keep the vampires from scaling the walls and were eventually cut down if they became a threat to the facility. Lining the top of the pit was a wrought iron fence that ran the entire circumference with sharpened tips that gave an extra level of security. No vampire had ever scaled the wall in twenty years, but the public felt better with the fence in place.

It was like the gate was an unforgiving force, which refused to move. Finding that I was only causing myself unnecessary labor, I took a step back to see what options I had. The concrete fence had to be at least ten feet tall, with nothing around to allow me to try to climb over. The only other gate was meant for vehicles, but it didn’t look as if I could open it manually.

He turned to Vance with a questioning look. "We decided to update this area with an electric fence," Vance started to say pointing at the long fence. "This would deter anyone from climbing the wall and trying to ambush us this way." The crowd nodded, it was definitely a more uncomfortable thing added to their fortifications because the fence could truly hurt someone. Gabriel thought of how important it was to protect themselves if they were ever ambushed. A quiet hush had come over the crowd as if they could sense the overall fear of the Moonlight Pack trying to use this area as an entrance.

I stressed my neck, and surprisingly, there was a very tall fence with black narrow things shooting towards us. “What is that?” I asked. “That is a cannon gun; it would blow out any attackers before they came close,” he said. “Wow, that seems cool,” I mumbled, my face on the window. I could see guards patrolling on the fence; they were wearing armour and looked heavily armed. The fence is very thick and tall; it would be hard to break into. “This goes around the pack?” I asked. “Yes, it covers our territory. There are some things implanted on the floor here, like a censor. If someone tries to ambush us, the censor picks it up and sends a signal to the pack, giving us minutes before they get

Chapter One Hundred And Seventy One Lana slowly walked around the garden all the way around the house, with Aryan following closely behind. The whole compound was well kept, but flowers and trees were spread out across the place. At the far end were barbed wire fences that went around the house. It was so high that it was enough to keep out giants, but surely, she could manage to make a hole and squeeze herself through right? Lana's hand came to her mouth, and she bit her nails nervously. Her eyes scanned the fence, and came to land on the metal sign fixed to the fence that stated, "Danger! Keep off!"

Chris’s mansion. It loomed at the heart of the compound, huge and menacing. Tall stone walls rose like the ribs of some ancient beast. Metal gates towered in front of me, black and sharp, spikes jutting out at the top like teeth ready to pierce the sky. Floodlights bathed the area in harsh white light, leaving no shadow to hide in. The compound stretched wide. High fences ran along the perimeter, barbed wire curling like serpents above them. Cameras perched on tall poles, their red eyes glowing in the storm. Every inch screamed of danger, of a place designed not for living—but for trapping.

"Productive punishment. It’s the new Hale way." "They look terrified," Vespera said. "I think the one on the left is crying." "He found a worm," Cyprian dismissed. "He's weak." Vespera leaned back against him. "We need higher fences, Cyprian. If idiots like that can get within ten feet of the nanny..." "Fences are ugly," Cyprian disagreed. "And they block the view." He looked out at the garden, watching Oryn squirt Vinny in the face with the water gun.

He followed the tug. North. He reached the Harrington Estate’s outer perimeter in less than an hour. The fence was ten feet of black iron, topped with sensors that hummed with a low-frequency buzz. Joshua had told him about these. "The sensors don't look at the ground, Henry," Joshua’s voice echoed in his head. "They look for heat at chest level. If you're small, you stay small."
