railing.
There was no way he could prevent the collision so he braced for impact.
Wood splintered and parted as he broke through the beams,
several spindles snapping and hurtling to the lower floor. He almost went over
the edge with them but managed to extend his nails, slamming down his hands,
burying his sharp claws into the wooden floor. His lower body hung over the lip
of the walkway, legs kicking into empty space.
Don’t let go. Get back up.
Nathan’s livid growl had him flexing his fingers, digging
his claws into the floor. He held on tight, commanding his muscles to bear his
weight. The wolf inside him backed the order, rising to the surface, giving him
strength. He lifted his head and watched Nathan slam into Aldon. The vampire
released Leigh but the impact broke her away from Sadie. His mate came at him,
sliding across the floor, stopping just shy of the jagged railing. She was so
close if his hands were free he could reach out and snatch her.
I’ll fucking kill him. Nice and slow.
Glancing at Aldon and Nathan, he collected his energy to
make it to the upper level.
Then he felt the soft brush of Sadie’s lips over the back of
his wrist.
In his dreams her bite was the most erotic thing he’d ever
experienced.
This time, however, it wasn’t quite the same.
Her fangs scored the delicate bones in his wrist, her aim
not true or clean. He hissed when her lips surrounded the torn tissue and she
sucked. She drew so fucking hard on his skin he wondered if she’d rip the shit
away from his bones. Although he wanted to provide for her, he tried to force
her away. He’d feed her as soon as this was over. He had to hurry.
Aldon and Nathan had taken their fight to the floor.
Nathan wasn’t strong enough to take down the vampire. Fuck,
Trey wasn’t sure who or what would be capable of such a thing. In the
past Aldon had been one hell of an ally. Now? He was a bitch of an opponent.
Trey knew the man was resilient. But this? He’d never imagined such a thing.
“Sadie, baby,” he murmured, trying to get her attention.
“Let go.”
Her hands lashed out, wrapping around his forearm. The
suction around his wrist increased, blood seeping past her lips. He watched,
amazed, as color returned to her cheeks. Her fingers changed, filling out. To
his amazement the rest of her did as well. Her face plumped, softness padding
her bones. Each swallow resurrected her from death, bringing her back to life.
Lightheadedness assailed him and white speckles danced over
his eyes.
Fucking shit.
He was going to pass out. If that happened, he couldn’t
protect her.
No way in hell. I’ll die first.
“Enough!” Aldon yelled, breaking Trey’s attention from his
mate.
Nathan flew from one side of the hallway to the other,
collapsing in a heap on the ground. The Beta didn’t try to rise, still and
unmoving on the floor, meaning he was out for the count. Trey hoped like hell
the damage wasn’t permanent. He didn’t think it was. He felt each and every
death in his pack. Nathan wasn’t done, not yet. He must’ve lost consciousness.
It was the only thing that would prevent him from getting up and charging at
Aldon.
There was no way Nathan would leave Leigh unprotected.
Leigh tripped over her feet when Aldon turned toward her.
She backed away, kicking out with her legs, shuffling along with her hands. Her
huge blue eyes were full of panic, her pale pink lips parted in horror.
Son of a bitch.
Aldon was going to take her and there was nothing Trey could
do about it. Sadie had taken so much blood he wasn’t sure he could maintain a
grip on the floor much less take on a vampire with immeasurable strength. Aldon
advanced—one more step and he’d have Leigh in his grasp—and lifted his right
arm.
Sadie disappeared—there one moment and gone the next.
The miserable burning at his wrist vanished.
Before he could react to her loss, Sadie reappeared in front
of Leigh.
Her artic-blue eyes blazed in warning, her hands
