“That’s the term used to refer to angels and vampires.”
“Misplaced Halos?” She couldn’t help it, she smiled. “Sounds like a rock band.”
“We’re far more badass.”
For the next couple of hours, Miklós proved how true that statement was.
Chapter Nineteen
“Still no bead on those vampires?” Eclipseasked, falling into step with Kaj as they made a pass through one of the empty downtown streets.
“No.” The male peered over at him. “And not for lack of trying. Fuckers all but disappeared.”
Eclipse had a difficult time believing that. Kaj might’ve lost the majority of his high-level ranks, but there were still plenty of boots on the ground. And vampires were a tight-knit group. It was the main reason Eclipse and his brothers utilized the Misplaced Halos boards. Most of those were maintained by the vampires keeping tabs on one another. Someone knew where these traitors were; it was just a matter of unearthing them.
“So why are we out here?” Eclipse asked.
“Because someone knows something.”
That was generally the case, sure. But for the past three hours, they’d yet to encounter anyone who knew the female responsible for luring Orianna to the Dungeon or the vampires she’d been with.
“Any news from Darko?”
A soft growl was Kaj’s response.
“Do you trust the male?”
“No reason not to.”
“Doesn’t answer my question.”
Kaj peered over, his green eyes narrowed. “Right now, I don’t know who to trust.”
“Me,” Eclipse said with a smirk. “You can trust me.”
“Can I?”
His smirk pulled into a full-fledged grin. “Have I ever given you a reason not to?”
“Not yet.”
“You’re a glass-half-empty kinda guy, huh?”
Kaj grinned, the first one tonight.
“How’s Acadia?”
Another soft growl.
Eclipse was coming to learn that meant the vampire had no comment on the subject. Made hunting with him rather dull.
“Since we’re not gonna chat about feelings, why don’t you tell me what your plans are.”
“What plans?” Kaj muttered.
“For starters, how long you planning to shack up with us?”
The male laughed. He actually fucking laughed. “Not like you don’t have enough room.”
