and stormed away, she opened her mouth to call out to stop him,
realizing it would be of no use. He had closed himself off from her again.
    Disappointed, she dropped her hand to her side and
followed after him.

    He could feel Kai’s eyes boring into him. Even as a
teenager, she was always watching, accessing, and evaluating situations, people
… him. As she trained to be a Slayer under his and Rathe’s tutelage, she became
perceptive and lethal. Yet with all
she had seen, hunted, and killed, she remained full of hope and laughter, keeping
Mina and others from turning and becoming demon vamps. Many called Kai Jordan
their friend. All he wanted was to call her his.
    Every fiber of his being wanted him to grab hold
of the beautiful woman following him and crush her to him. To hold her, breathe
in the flowery scent of her perfume, and let go the anger and hurt buried deep
inside him. She was the flame, and he the moth. The closer he was to Kai, the
more he felt physically stronger and emotionally human. While the man in him
desired — no craved to be in her arms, the monster in him laughed at the
pathetic creature he’d become.
    Because of Magdeburg.
    How had Kai seen Lisle and him?
    She said she could never read his mind. Hell, he’d
made certain she couldn’t enter his
mind, so she wouldn’t see the things he’d done to stay alive amongst the
Damned. Hell, Kai
reading his mind was the least of his problems. The blood he’d taken in from
the hunter was just a fraction what he needed to completely heal his injuries.
    Kai
said she hadn’t sighted any lights, which didn’t make sense. If Magdeburg was
thirty miles away, why couldn’t they locate the city or any humans? Perhaps he
and Kai should backtrack the humans they’d drained and find their truck? That’d
be dangerous. When the humans didn’t check in, their companions would come
looking for them. Outnumbered and out gunned, it’d be a dangerous. No, best
they keep going east. They should encounter a road leading to a burg or farm. Hopefully.
    Lightening sharp jabs radiated down his limbs with
a vengeance. Alex shoved the terrible pain away, disconnected from it, and
searched the area for any signs of humans. Suddenly Kai was on top of him,
forcing him flat onto the ground. A sharp ‘pop’ sounded, and she was sent catapulting
over the top of him. Grabbing her, he rolled her under him, searching for the
sniper. Unable to find the human, he opened a grave and dragged Kai into it. She bit her lower lip from
crying out. Tears glimmered in her pain-glazed eyes. He searched the cause of
her pain and found a gaping hole in her shirt below her collarbone. Blood flowed
unchecked, soaking her tee-shirt. She wasn’t healing!
    “Alex,
get the hunter,” she gasped out. “We need the blood.”
    “What
about you?”
    “I’ll
be fine. Get him, we need his blood!”
    “Dammit,
you’re right. Kai, shut down, and I’ll cover you up, then I’ll search for the
human.”
    Anxious,
she placed her hand along his cheek. “Alex, please be careful!”
    Flashing
her a cocky grin, he scooted out of the grave. “Dinner will be served soon.”
    Shaking
her head at his joke, Kai closed her eyes and shut down as he covered her with
the loose dirt. Snarling, his fangs dropped as he leapt up into the nearest
tree, quickly climbing to the top. Searching for the son-of-a-bitch who shot
her, it took only a minute to find the human’s body heat. The hunter was
heading straight for where Kai was buried, no doubt to finish the job. Fury
rolled inside him, blinding him with the need to rip the human apart for
hurting Kai. Dropping out of the tree, he ran, silent and one with the
creatures of the night. The human skidded to a halt when he saw him coming and
took aim with his rifle, firing. Alex easily dodged the bullets and was on the
human, wrenching the rifle out of his hands.
    “You
bastard!” the man shouted, reaching for his hunting knife. “You killed
