Blood of a Red Rose Read Online Free PDF

vampire in the area to do her dirty work ? W e have to find her and kill her! " Christian was drifting so fast that it was making me dizzy. Everyo ne else's emotions were starting to show as well. Seeing Evie with dark hair and an angry look on her face had me making a mental note to never piss her off.
    "How are we going to kill her if she has super-healing abilities and lord knows what else ? We know nothing about the demons except that they're really strong and fast , a nd we can't bite them because we'll become infected. We're flying blind here." Bobby, for once, was the voice of reason.
    Evie's hair and eyes evened out as she stepped into the center of our little crowd. "Alright. Everyone just sit tight. Terrance , I'm sorry, but even though you're showing signs of breaking through whatever hold Meredith had on you, we just don't know enough to let you out yet. Christian, you and Rose stay here. I won't chance you running into M eredi th until we come up with a plan. The rest of us need to go out and feed, but once the club's open tonight, I'm going to call Balam again to see if he can provide us with some more information."
    Terrance slid down the wall and sat on the floor as the rest of the clan headed for the stairs.
    "Do you want to go up and order some food?" Christian asked.
    "Sure." I reached for his hand but immediately regretted it when a s mile spread across his face . I couldn't let him think we were mak ing up. Even with this new development, things hadn't changed for me. I was going to have to stick to my guns.
    I p ull ed my hand out of his and started up the stairs , trying to think o f a way to handle all of this . C urrently... I was coming up blank.
    Sound ing defeated , Christian asked, "What would you like for dinner, Rose?"
    "Chinese sounds fine ."
    After emerging from below the s tage, I sat down at one of the tables a s Evie, Dax, Bobby, Tori, and Dom le ft the club to go feed , while Renard and Loni both took seats at the bar. Christian had just pulled out his cell to place our order when Bobby suddenly walked back through the door . Using his vampire speed, he was at Renard and Loni 's side in a split second.
    "Excuse me a second, I need to see what's going on." I watched Christian mak e his way over to them . I strain ed my ears, trying to hear what was happening. I wondered what drama was unfolding now.
    I hadn't really gotten to know much about the couple yet, except that Renard was originally from England and that's whe re they'd taken their honeymoon so he could show his cute American wife all the p laces he frequented as a human.
    They both had a punk - rocker look about them. Renard's hair was a dirty blonde, smooth yet spiky at the same time. Loni had a short, edgy cut of blonde hair that was tipped in black. No one was sure why her hair had drifted like that when she was turned , but Evie assumed it was because she witnessed her sister being killed when she was a little gi rl. By the time she was turned , it was a distant memory, but Evie thought it was possible the memory still remained buried deep within her psyche . All I knew was that she was reall y sweet and pretty badass . She was the only fem ale security guard on the staff . N ow with Meredith being back in the picture, I was really glad the y were both here and had Christian's back.

    "What's going on?" Christian asked.
    "We just caught Rose's dad staked out in his car at the back of the parking lot. Evie wants Renard and Loni to follow him back to Masen so we can find out where Meredith is. It's a pretty lucky break . W hat are the odds he' d show up tonight after all this time?"
    "Yeah, a lucky break." I knew I'd started drifting again as I walked back to Rose. How was I going to tell her that her dad was just outside and expect her not to go to him?
    "So , wha t 's up? What was that all about?" she asked.
    "Let me order you some dinner first, and then we can talk about everything ." I needed to
