my
brothers!”
    Circling
each other, Alex snapped back, “You, hunters, are all the same. When you kill my
kind, its cheers and giggles, I kill yours to protect mine, you want
vengeance.”
    “You’re
undead! You have no right to be breathing!”
    “That’s
where you’re wrong, human. The woman you shot, she’s the best of human and vampire. Your blood’s gonna save her!” Fainting to the left,
he switched and was on the screaming human, sinking his fangs deep into his
throat. Before the man neared death, he released him. Taking the man’s head in
his hands, he snapped his neck, ending the human’s life.
    The
blood he drank was infused with adrenaline and fear, making it hard to calm
down. Ignoring the drug-like effect, he focused on searching for the other
hunters and found them two miles away, heading up the ridge. Wanting to suck
them dry of the precious blood flowing in their veins and kill them ... Kai.
    Like a balm against the raging tide, his need to
kill calmed at the sound of her name. She needed him, needed the blood coursing
in his veins. The beast retreated, giving way to his need to protect the woman
he loved. Alex sped back to her and waved back the dirt covering her. Gently,
he lifted her out of the grave and swept the dirt from her pale features. Damn,
she’d lost a lot of blood. The ground under her, where she’d laid, was saturated
with it. Eyes closed, Kai lay unresponsive in his arms.
    “Kai,
wake up. Please, you need to feed and heal.” When she failed to awaken, he
pulled her to him as he fumbled to roll back his sleeve. Using his teeth, he
ripped open his wrist and pressed it to her colorless lips.
    “Please,
baby, drink. Kai, you’ve got to take my blood,” he ordered hoarsely, the fear
of losing her was making him lose control of his carefully maintained façade
around her.
    Relief
flooded him when he felt her lips part and she started to drink his blood.
After several minutes, she grimaced, pulling away from him. Kai licked her lips
as she glanced down at her shoulder, flinching.
    “Crap,
ripped my shirt.”
    Alex
pulled her onto his lap and offered her his wrist again. “Feed. Worry about the
shirt later.”
    “Alex,
I can’t. You need all the blood you can get, to keep strong.”
    “You
need blood to heal or you’ll die,” he countered, pushing his wrist at her.
    Scowling,
she muttered as she took his hand in hers, “We are so screwed in our little
adventure, aren’t we?”
    He
had to agree. “We aren’t off to the best of starts, that’s for certain. Drink up.
We need to make some tracks before the hunters circle back on us.”
    “Shouldn’t
we drain them?”
    “I’d
love to, except we’re two injured vamps. The odds are not in our favor.”

    Reluctant to take from Alex what he needed for his
own survival, Kai knew she had no choice. She fought the nauseating sickness as
her aching, pain-riddled body weakened, the life trickling from her as she bled
out. The vamp hunter had used a bullet designed to tumble, breaking apart as it
ripped through flesh. Although she wasn’t allergic to silver, like the Damned
were, the bullet had caused her maximum damage and she was unable to heal
herself. She knew it was only a matter of time before she died from the loss of
blood.
    Shaking badly and cold, terribly cold, she had to
have more blood. She rolled his wrist upward to expose the soft tissue
underneath. The wound had already healed, so she sank her fangs into his skin.
Alex curled closer to her as she fed, and she felt safer, protected. As the
warm, nourishing liquid coursed down her throat, she felt him tremble. Fearing
she had drained him, she drew back and saw his eyes were closed. She licked the
wounds she’d made, smiling at the sigh he failed to suppress.
    Ha! The stoic vampire wasn’t so immune to her
after all!
    Alex drew down the collar of her shirt and
examined the wound. Only a puckered mark was left. Another scar, she sighed in
dismay.
