“Speakingof RAIDOS, how is you know who? Any word?” I was really getting worried aboutAlexa.
Heshook his head and lowered his voice. “No, but I’m worried. She has gone out ofher way to help us. Once I take out these drones, I want to offer herprotection.”
Inodded. “I agree. What are we doing about the vampire attack on Safe Haven?”
Hiseyes glowed yellow. “We’re going old school.”

Twohours later, Kai had the entire pack surrounded in the backyard for a meeting.Even Izzy’s human husband, Tristan, was there. The only two missing were herchildren, Violet and Connor, who were staying the weekend at her in laws.
“Lasttime we had a meeting, I spoke of protecting the humans, of strengthening ourspecies so we could protect werewolf culture for decades to come.”
Thepack yelled in agreement.
“Iwant us to start a watch. We will break up into groups and guard the humanpublic. Show the vampires we intend to keep an eye on them. We will be ingroups of three and start where vampires have been known to frequent. If yousee a vampire putting a human in a life threatening situation, you have the council’spermission to kill them.”
Asilence settled over the crowd.
Hecontinued. “If a human witnesses the kill, you are to contact Sylvia’s coven.The witches will help modify the human’s memory to keep the supernaturalspecies a secret. All the packs, all over the world will be doing the same. Weare sending a united message to the vampires. Any questions?”
Maxgrinned. “When do we start?”
Kailaughed. “You, me, and Aurora. Pearl nightclub, tonight.”
Maxpatted me on the back. I smiled. Hunting vampires made Max happy. Protectinghumans made me happy.
Ihad been to Pearl before. I had no idea vampires hung out there. I shivered atthe thought that I could have been attacked. I had been antsy about thevampires ever since the attack on Safe Haven. It felt good to know we werefinally doing something about it. That all of the werewolf packs, everywhere,were showing the vampires that they were on our radar again.

Kaiand Max were waiting in the living room for me. I had taken out one of my oldclubbin’ dresses from college. It was black lace, backless and short. I pairedit with knee high black leather boots and some red lipstick. When I turned thecorner to the living room, Kai’s eyes bugged out of his head.
“Wheredo you think you’re going dressed like that?” he said with dominance in hisvoice.
Irolled my eyes. “Have you ever been to Pearl? You don’t just get in. You haveto be picked out of line by the bouncers. No offense, but you and Max aren’tgoing to be the ones getting us in.” I grabbed my keys and headed for the door.
Kaigrabbed the keys from me. “I’m driving.” He looked my body up and down.
‘Ican’t believe you’re mine,’he said as I grinned. His darkwash jeans clung to his thick thigh muscles. His biceps pulled his powder bluedress shirt tight.
‘Ditto,’I told him.
Maxcleared his throat. Kai and I were standing in the doorway, staring each otherdown. I laughed.
Maxshook his head. “Come on, lovers, we have vampires to roast.”

Theline to get into Pearl was longer than I remembered; we were way in the back.It was cold out too. I had a silver bullet gun strapped into my shoulderholster that was concealed by my red leather jacket. Kai and Max were loadedwith vampire killing weapons. We just needed to get in the damn club. It reekedof vampires. The poor helpless human girls shivered outside waiting to get in.
“Screwthis. Stay behind me, but not too close.” I stepped out of line. Kai looked atme, confused, but followed. I pulled the pen out of the bun that was holding myhair up and shook my mane loose. As we approached the security at the frontdoor, I dropped my pen.
“Oops.”I bent over to get it, giving the doormen a nice view of my black lace boyshort underwear.
‘Aurora,I will kill them. I don’t care if they are human,’Kai warned.
Itworked. The lead security released the cord blocking the entrance. “Come inside,honey. It’s too cold for you out here.” He licked his lips. I smiled and noddedfor Kai and Max to follow. They swooped in behind me, but the bouncer held hisarm out blocking them.
