Dark Warrior Untamed Read Online Free PDF

contact other Kyth, she’d struck up a few online friendships with people all over the world. It was a shame that she’d never get to meet any of them in person, though. Even if she could afford to travel, it was doubtful any of them would want to have anything to do with her if the truth ever came out. Actually,
when
the truth came out. She had no illusionsthat Grey was going to accept her story at face value.
    “Bad news?”
    She jumped about a foot and turned to glare at Grey. “Don’t sneak up on people like that!”
    He gave her a puzzled look and held out her tea. “I wasn’t exactly sneaking. I saw how hard you were staring at the screen and wondered if something was wrong.”
    She forced a smile. “Seems we spend a lot of time apologizing to each other. Sorry, Grey, I didn’t mean to snap. And no, it isn’t exactly bad news. Just complicated.”
    “Let me know if I can help.” He set the steaming mug next to her computer and returned to his desk.
    Sharing a workspace with someone else normally didn’t bother her, but now she was hyperaware of every move the man made. The faint scent of his aftershave was even more of a distraction. She’d never get through the morning’s work at this rate. Hoping that listening to music would help, she pulled her iPod out of her bag and cranked it up.
    Piper scanned her long list of e-mails, making note of the ones she’d need to discuss with Kerry. The rest she either deleted or stuck in a folder to deal with later. Finally, she reached the bottom of the page.
    How odd. The Kyth all had e-mail accounts with the same server, but this last one didn’t match.
    She clicked to open it, and her computer screen went black. A few seconds later, it filled with a pulsating pattern.
    Had she just downloaded a virus? Then she realizedthat the dizzying display was made up of one phrase written over and over again. Her blood ran cold as she shoved her chair back. The words were written in blood red against a black background.
    “Uh, Grey, could you come here a minute?”
    Damn it, he’d finally been making some headway in a stack of files from when Piper suddenly shot back from her desk, knocking a pile of papers to the floor in the process. His first instinct was to grumble, but then he saw the look on her face.
    He might not know Piper all that well, but he’d bet his last dollar that she wasn’t easily scared. And right now her face was undeniably pale.
    When she turned to face him, a ring of white showed all around her dark irises. Years of training had him reaching for the gun in his shoulder harness, even though his Talion senses didn’t detect any immediate physical threat.
    “Piper, what’s wrong?”
    She held out a shaky finger and pointed at her computer screen. “Can you look at this?”
    He moved closer. The red and black color scheme made it difficult to read the text. But before he couldask any questions, the screen blinked off. When it came back on, an error message flashed, saying the computer was searching for a solution. He was willing to bet that when it rebooted, there would be no record of what had been written there.
    But he’d seen it and so had Piper. Written there in bloodred words, over and over again, were the words:
The day of reckoning is coming.

rey holstered his gun and stood back, still trying to make sense of what he’d just seen. “I don’t suppose that’s one of your friends’ sick idea of a joke?”
    Piper looked insulted. “Of course not. First of all, I don’t use this account for my personal correspondence. I’ve never given out the address except on behalf of the Dame and her foundations. Secondly, the e-mail address was weird. I’ve never seen it before.”
    “Weird how?”
    “It’s not from the usual e-mail account we all use. As soon as I saw it, I wondered if something was wrong.”
    “But you opened it anyway.” He probably would have too, but he wanted to know what she’d been thinking.
    She ran her
