Chapter 61 The Killer
I SLINK AWAY TO THE edge of the crowd as they gather around my latest victim. Augustin and Komal run over, and the Nevermore Coven start to push back the crowd. But it’s too late. I am nothing if not thorough.
Now that I know about Augustin’s daughter, and I see that his love for Komal is real, I won’t be killing him. For now, at least.
I would have liked the chance to kill Kael myself, but I have plenty of work to do yet. The others in his order will flock to Argleton once they learn he died while on the trail of a Dhampir.
And now I have another problem.
They’ve found Dulcina’s notebook.
They haven’t looked at it yet, but when they do, it won’t be long until they figure out the truth.
The Nevermore Coven is piecing together my secrets.
I only have a little more to do, and then I’ll retreat into the shadows forever.
But I have to keep them off my scent until then, even if that means sacrifice.
Tonight is just the beginning. And I think I have just the vampire in mind for my next kill.
