“We need to talk about that fucking Coven.” I thumped my knuckles on the linen cloth rhythmically.

“We will discuss when there is no potential about being overheard.” Tobias kept the serene mask on his face. Move against my Coven? They would pay. Each and every one of their Coven members would fall with my sword. I would not stop until they were eradicated.

I’d done it to other lineages before. I would do so again.

“I don’t like that grin on Ren’s face.” Asher pursed his lips and shook his head. “Nevermind. I like it. He’s plotting someone’s demise. Can I help this time?”

I twitched an eyebrow at Asher. “You’ve never showed interest in my hunting excursions.”

“This time they’ve messed with something they shouldn’t have,” Asher said with derision. Meaning Cat. The beautiful human girl I could not ignore. The one I craved—dangerously.

I grunted. If he could keep up with me, sure. We could bond over their blood and guts and bring their entrails and ashes to the human’s feet.

I liked how that sounded.

Calliope began her spiel as she began to announce the humans and their Sires. Her death was imminent. She had pushed me too far. If there weren’t witnesses, I would have sliced her head off today.

“Do not. They are watching us,” Tobias said out of nowhere.

Per Asher’s pout, he’d been about to go invisible and follow Cat into the woods. Tobias was correct. Vampires watched us with focus, ready to report any untoward behavior to their Sires.

Jax approached. He’d changed into a black t-shirt and joggers. Asher clapped him on the shoulder with an affable smile. He leaned close.

“You better find her. Bring her back to me, alive,” Asher hissed into his twin’s ear. Jaxon, for once, didn’t try to smack him. He only nodded once.

Interesting. This one human joined us more than Imogen ever did. I crossed my arms and observed. She’d become my weakness.

I threw my head back and laughed.

“What’s so funny?” Asher grumbled. I continued to laugh at the ridiculous fact that a human woman had brought me to my knees.
