them hurt you again!”
    Tessa was fretting over Dani and kissing her face. The only movement she had available was her eyes so she darted them repeatedly toward the front seat. Tessa had to get help for Brandi, now. When Tessa finally looked over the front seat to see the other girl slumped over she cursed a blue streak and scrambled out to grab her phone. Calling for help, she climbed into the front passenger door to assess the situation. Holding the cell between her ear and shoulder, she used her shawl to put pressure on the wound.
    “Griffin, we are about two blocks south of your driveway in a limo. Brandi is badly injured. I think it’s a bullet wound, maybe two. Danielle is semi-conscious. We need you now!” Tessa let the phone fall from her awkward grasp without hanging up to focus on Brandi. “Shit! I’m losing her!”
    Dani was crying again. The fear and anguish in her mother’s voice was tearing at her. With tears and make up running down her cheeks, Tessa put her head over the seat to look down on Dani.
    “Your Dad is on the way, baby.”
    Tessa dug around in the glove box before giving up to lean all the way over the seat and grab a decanter full of liquor from the bar. She climbed out of the limo, and the sound of breaking glass startled Dani. She slowly began to take inventory of her body’s ability to function. She had to get moving in order to help her mom with Brandi. The sudden sweet aroma of human blood flooded Dani’s senses and caused her fangs to drop painfully from her gums. Her mother was bleeding. She’d cut herself to give Brandi the blood that would save her life.

    Greyson’s unit had been called in, along with several others, earlier in the evening when the daughter of a Council member was kidnapped from her bonding by a crazed mate. Baffled as to how a mated vamp could be bonding again, he questioned the other guys. They’d looked at each other with grim expressions and promised to fill him in on the complicated back story later. Greyson had transferred just recently from California when he was promoted to the Wrath teams. Adjusting to the climate wasn’t his only obstacle. Back home things were much more relaxed and the stress of relocating to the center of his society, and the Enclave that housed the leaders of his class of warriors, was unnerving. The legendary Council worked closely with the Enclave. Guarding the Council members and their homes was part of the duty bestowed on his new Enclave, and given the small bits of recent history he’d heard so far, it was a very important duty. There was a traitor in their midst. Greyson knew, but in his short time on the Enclave he hadn’t yet been given the whole story.  
    The Wrath was spread out and covering ground in the area surrounding the Country Club looking for a trail to follow when the call came to move toward Griffin Vaughn’s palatial home and search for a limo. Greyson’s crew of six Wrath guards had hit pay dirt two blocks away from the Vaughn estate. Mitch was driving, Greyson had shotgun, Linc, Ray, Garrett, and Troy filled the back of the van along with an arsenal of weapons for any situation. He was the first out before the wheels even stopped rolling. The scene that met him inside the limo was something straight out of a horror flick.
    Blood. 
    So much blood it caused his fangs to drop and he knew for sure his eyes had turned from his usual emerald green to obsidian black. Behind the wheel was a female with the look of a pixie. Her head of dark hair, dotted with shiny pins that sparkled in the low light, lulled to the side as if it would topple off her shoulders. Only the pixie with the delicate features had fangs and a nasty exit wound in her upper left chest. Everything from her mouth down was drenched in blood. Only small patches of the light purple color her gown had been were visible. Blood dripped off the seat onto the floor of the car.
    The sweet smell of human blood had every vamp behind him
