full blown rage, fangs flashing, onyx eyes full of pain, and he was attempting to join the search for Soleil. This was not the first time she had been cleverly extricated against her will. There was a Rogue out there on the hunt for talented young vamps. His goal was to drain them of their strengths. It’s much easier to take the power of a youth, before they come into full strength, than to arrest it from an adult. The Rogue had developed a drug, which if ingested during a feeding or injected would render the vampire unconscious and unable to fight. It was a huge concern for the entire vampire nation. The Rogue’s hunter came across Danielle purely by accident and they had been hunting her ever since. Danielle was indeed powerful and would only grow more so as she aged.
    Mason counseled patience to Chase. “If you run off, and we can’t reach you or they bring her back here, you will regret leaving. Sit tight. Let the Wrath do their job.”
    “You know damn well they aren’t looking for Soleil! They’re looking for Brandi! If they gave a shit about my Lovely we would have had security tonight, but we didn’t, did we? It’s been six months since the warriors have so much as looked her way by order of your damned Council!”
    That wasn’t entirely true. Cayden had been making regular rounds of Chase’s building and covertly watching after Danielle the whole time. He reported back to Griffin daily. Cayden and Chase had been lifelong best friends until Danielle came between them last year. Cayden didn’t want Dani, which is the name he preferred to call her, or Chase to know he was in the shadows. Cayden still ached for the loss of his friendship with Chase and the love Danielle had been willing to give him. But he had rejected a bond with her at the last minute when she admitted to being half-human. She didn’t want to trap him and he couldn’t accept the unknown. They didn’t know how long she would live, or how their children would turn out, or if it was even possible for them to have children. So, Cayden had lost a great love and his best friend.
    He’d been out there tonight patrolling the grounds in silent support of the bond Chase and Danielle were forging when he was struck down by a needle to the thigh. They’d found him unconscious. He was still completely unresponsive.
    Griffin’s phone rang in his breast pocket and the argument around him stopped. Mason and Chase both froze and waited for the other shoe to drop. The caller ID showed him it was Tessa calling, his human mate…ex-mate. This made his heart pump harder with joy and fear, simultaneously. In the six months since he’d given her his number and told her to call him for any reason at any time she had never used it. The fact that she did now could not be good news.
    “Tessa?” he answered.
    “Griffin, we are about two blocks south of your driveway in a limo. Brandi is badly injured. I think it’s a bullet wound or maybe two. Danielle is semi-conscious. We need you now!” She was frantic.
    “What? Wait, where are you? I thought you were with Debbie in the Country Club?” he asked, but her reply was muffled and distant. She had obviously dropped the phone, but left the connection open.
    “Shit… I’m losing her!” he heard Tessa curse. There was a shuffling noise.
    “Your Dad is on the way, baby.”  She was talking to Danielle.
    Griffin looked up to find two matching pairs of ocean blue eyes burning a hole through him. The sound of shattering glass drew his attention back to the phone. “Tessa!” he shouted into the phone, but got no response.
    “We need a car. Tessa found the limo with both girls in it two blocks south of the gate at my house.”
    The double doors of the Country Club flew open and Samantha stepped out before anyone could move.
     “Mason, we need you in here. Now. Debbie has apparently been in labor for most of the day, but didn’t want to disrupt the ceremony. For the last two hours she’s been squeezing
