office. Her steps faulted as she saw Adrianna sat behind her desk, a scarf around her neck to hide the bite that Sebastian must have given her this morning. Her stomach rolled for a second before she clenched her free hand into a tight fist making sure to stab her fingernails into her palm.
    Once she was feeling all right again, she stepped forward and Adrianna smiled up at her. “Hi, Charlotte,” she chirped in her almost child-like voice.
    “Adrianna,” she greeted. “I just came to drop my report off for the mission last night.”
    The other woman took the sheet of paper and her eyes scanned the page before she looked back up with a smile. “That's great, thanks. Bastian's already dropped his off, too, with him out again tonight, so I can wipe you both off the list.”
    Bastian?
    Mentally shaking her head, she jumped on the other titbit Adrianna had dropped. “Sebastian's on another mission?”
    “Yeah. Some new information on a vampire the Agency's been after for a while. Luciano?”
    Her heart pumped hard in her chest at the name. “Lucien?”
    “Yeah, that's him. They got a tip off about his location.”
    “ Who went?”
    Adrianna looked at her with a frown.
    “Who went?!” She almost shouted, her fist slamming down on the desk.
    “ Sebastian, Mitchell, Daniel, Harry, Ben and Mikey. Why?”
    “ Because that bastard killed my family.”
     

Chapter Six
     
    It was nearly three o'clock in the morning when the back doors of the Agency flew open, startling Charlotte, who was sat waiting for their return. She climbed to her feet and took a few steps forward.
    Two forms appeared first. As they got closer she saw that Mikey was supporting a hobbling Ben, who was bleeding from a cut to his head and favouring his right arm, around the middle as they progressed towards the medical facilities a little further in the building.
    Charlotte watched them pass and then waited to see if they'd managed to capture Lucien. Her foot started to tap the floor as the minutes passed and no-one else had appeared. Then she saw the group of men come through the doorway and she counted five people. Breath hitching, she took a small step forward.
    As the group grew nearer, she could make out their faces.
    They'd caught him.
    Mitchell was at the front of the group, gun in his left hand and his right hovering near the stakes at his hip. Daniel and Harry were on either side, their postures the same as Mitchell's and Sebastian was bringing up the rear, his hands out of view, probably keeping a tight grip on their prisoner so he didn’t try anything.
    Moving her gaze to the one man she'd avoided looking at so far, she ran her eyes over his familiar face and gritted her teeth against the roar of rage and pain she wanted to let out. Lucien's gaze flicked in her direction as the group walked past but no recognition lit his eyes and she was tempted to kill him right then and there. Her fingers itched for her stakes or her beretta's but they were back in her room.
    How could he not remember?
    Feeling someone's eyes on her, she turned them to Sebastian to see he was watching her questioningly, his dark brows furrowed. Not in the mood to answer him, she turned away and headed out of the room, suddenly needing to talk to the Director.
    She arrived in his office a couple of minutes later, wondering if he'd still be there at this time in a morning. Adrianna wasn’t around so she went straight up to the door separating the rooms and pushed it open.
    The Director looked up as the door opened and then sat back in his chair.
    “ Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked without preamble. “That monster killed my family! I had a right to know that you were sending a team out— I should have been on that team!”
    He regarded her for several long seconds before answering. “Would you have been able to keep a straight head? Would you have kept this anger,” he said, indicating her, “under control long enough to capture him without killing him, as were
