It was going to be a long day. “Valeriu, Lance, and Juan are already on the way to the UK to check out a site for our new headquarters.” Now that Thanatos knew their current location, it, along with all of their libraries, secrets, artifacts, and weapons, was in danger if his Seal were to break.
    “Hey!” Suzi burst through the door, even more frantic than she already was with Regan missing. “There’s another Horseman here. I think it’s War.”
    “Ares,” Kynan muttered. He could never get it through these people’s heads that the Horsemen would only be known as War, Death, and Famine
after
their Seals broke. “And it’s about time.”
    Ian’s green eyes nearly popped out of his head. “You told another one how to find us? Why don’t you just put a neon sign on the building and upload our address to Yahoo?”
    “I called him while Thanatos was still here,” Kynan ground out. “I was hoping he’d be able to talk his brother down.”
    These fools truly had no idea how important it was to work with the Horsemen. Not only were they the only beings powerful enough to deal with Pestilence, but if humans pissed them off enough, they could wipe their hands of the fight altogether. Hole up in their residences and let humans fight Pestilence and his demons on their own.
    Chad snorted. “Good plan. Maybe if you’d—”
    Chad broke off with a strangled sound as huge hands came down on Suzi’s shoulders to move her aside gently but firmly. Ares filled the doorway, his broad shoulders brushing the frame as he strode inside, a mountain of leather armor and attitude.
    “Where is my brother?”
    Kynan met the ancient warrior halfway into the room. “He left. Took Regan with him.”
    A river of curses fell from Ares’s mouth. “How was he behaving?”
    “Like he was in need of a rabies shot. He killed one of our Guardians.”
    “Just one? You caught him on a good day.”
    Ares was probably right. Than could have taken them all out and made it seem effortless. “I thought we’d agreed to keep him immobilized for a little while longer.”
    “We did, human.”
    “Then how did he get free?”
    “I don’t know.”
    Kynan scrubbed his hand over his face. “How helpful.” Ares stared at him. “Just get Regan back for us.”
    “I’ll do what I can.” Ares spun around on his heel and started out of the room, halting when Decker called his name.
    “Your brother,” Decker said. “He won’t hurt her, will he?”
    Ares’s big shoulders rose and fell slowly, as if he were taking a deep, calming breath. When he spoke, his voice was deceptively soft.
    “I hope not,” he said. “For his sake, and the sake of mankind, I hope not.”

     
    Thanatos’s chest was tight, his skin twitching as he paced the length of the great hall. His vampires had tried to bring him food and drink, had asked him if they could fetch him books, groom Styx—and currently, one of them was kneeling, exposing the throat that he’d slit by his own hand.
    “Take it, sire.” Artur, his oldest daywalker and the one who had been with Thanatos for over forty-five hundred years, watched him expectantly.
    Fuck. “I’ve already fed.”
    “Then let me do
something
,” Artur begged, his willingness to serve going into hyperdrive. Than’s absence must have done a number on him. “Would you like me to tend to Regan?”
    No one was going near Regan. Not even his most trusted servant. It was an irrational decision maybe, but right now Than was feeling pretty damned irrational. Heyanked Artur to his feet. “If you want to do something for me, clean up the mess you made on the floor.”
    The vampire nodded. “Right away.” He actually looked happy to have something to do. No doubt they were all hanging out in the kitchen, waiting nervously for Thanatos to explode.
    He was close. Which was why he’d gotten away from Regan, who was one hell of a fuse.
    He stopped in front of the fireplace and braced his fists on the mantel as he stared into
