smile. She stood and walked to the
opposite side of the clearing.
    “Tell me about this killer. What did you call him?
The Silver…”
    “Slayer. I’ve been hunting him for thirteen months.
He’s smart and usually works alone. When I get too close, he hires
mercenaries to take me out. Obviously it hasn’t worked.”
    “Yet.”
    Hardened eyes stared at him. “Ever.”
    Though she was strong and an exceptional fighter, the
idea of her chasing a dangerous criminal didn’t sit well with him.
As an alpha, it was in his nature to take care of what was his.
Now, his body and his mind were at odds about what, or who, that
included. In his head, he knew a vampire assassin was in no way his . But his
body… Well, let’s just say it strongly protested. The protest came
in the form of anxious knots in his stomach and what seemed to be a
permanent hard-on.
    He cleared his throat. “So what does he do, this
slayer?”
    “He’s a serial killer.”
    His brow furrowed. “And he’s here? In Wyoming? In my territory?”
    “Yes.”
    Fury seeped into Cristian’s blood, heated it until he
almost lost control and shifted. A low growl started in his
chest.
    She stopped and gazed up at him. “I haven’t even told
you the worst part. He steals children.”
    Children? Fuck! Claws extended from his fingertips,
biting into palms where he clenched his fists. Grasping control as
best as he could, he grated, “Does he kill them?”
    She nodded.
    With a deep breath he whispered, “Only kill
them?”
    She swallowed hard then averted her gaze. But not
before he saw a flicker of sadness. She shook her head.
    He closed his eyes and counted to ten, able to calm
down with promises to kill the fucker. “How do you know he’s
here?”
    “Trust me. I know.” She looked up at the sky then
turned in a circle, inhaling as she moved.
    Natalia’s scent was too potent for him to isolate it.
Not to mention it seemed to stick to him like static cling.
    “I’ve been following him closely for more than a
year. I know his signature well.” Stepping back into the clearing,
she scanned the sky again. “That’s why he left me here hanging with
dawn approaching.” She narrowed her eyes, her fists clenched – the
only sign of anger he’d seen her display.
    “So he was just here? You saw him?”
    She shook her head. “Not him. A few hired idiots. It
was my own fault. The meal was far too convenient. I should’ve
known.”
    “The meal?”
    With a smirk she looked him in the eye. “The man I
drank from.”
    If she thought that would scare him, she was sorely
mistaken. He’d seen vampires feed. And he’d already seen her fangs.
They didn’t disturb him in the slightest. Actually, his body –
specifically the aforementioned raging hard-on – found them
enticingly erotic.
    “He’d been poisoned,” she continued. “When I woke up,
I was just how you found me.”
    His brow creased. A serial killer and he’d left the
hunter alive? Something didn’t add up. “Why didn’t he kill
you?”
    Her voice dropped as she stared into the trees. “He’s
playing with me.” She swung her gaze back to him and added, “He
thinks our cat and mouse game is funny. He won’t think so much
longer.”
    There was obsession in her eyes. She wanted the kill
too badly. She would do anything for it. And that was a dangerous
place to exist.
    That
settles it . They would be hunting this slayer together.
Sorin would give him hell, but despite the way he found her, the
woman was clearly good at her job. And she already knew the
Slayer’s signature. She was a valuable asset . And
he was going to stick to her like a burr in a wolf’s
fur.
    The Northwest pack was his to protect. And from the
very first day he reluctantly stepped up to the task, he never
failed his duty. The women and children relied on his judgment, his
strength, and his loyalty. And not a day went by that he didn’t
feel the weight of it. He squared his shoulders and faced the
vampire. She would
