shock allowed one of the vampires to put a casting curse on her again.
    “It is important to you!” Melody was repulsed. “I’m no fan of witches, but he’s a werewolf, for God’s sake!”
    “Just let him go,” Rory said. “I’ll do whatever you want and I won’t even fight back.”
    “Well now, you really aren’t in a position to bargain,” Olaf said, examining Cross from a safe distance. “Neither of you can do anything now. There’s really no reason for me to work with you.”
    Rory thought quickly. “I could make this very difficult for you. You think I’m weak and your magic can hold me , but I’ve been holding back.”
    Olaf looked amused. “Silly witch. You can’t trick old Olaf. I’ve been around the block a few times and you are clearly bluffing. Can I ask why a werewolf? I’ve never dallied on the furry side myself , but I’ve heard wonderful things.”
    “I’m not bluffing,” Rory said confidently. In truth, she hadn’t tried to break their curse yet. Now that Violet’s blood had worked its magic, she was feeling a lot better than she had been even an hour before. With Cross so close, she thought she had a real chance of out-casting the vampires.
    They weren’t naturally high-power magic users and used their physical abilities to overpower their opponents. It was worth a chance at least. Even if she failed, it would show Olaf that she could make him miserable until the Lost Tribe came to pick her up. She wished Cross was in human form. It was hard to coordinate a plan with him while he was a wolf. She couldn’t even get close enough to whisper something. Things would have been so much easier if he had stayed far away from her and safe.
    Violet was still pacing. “How did it get here?”
    Melody and Olaf looked at her.
    “Who cares?” Melody asked. “We’ll get rid of it and any more that follow.
    “I care,” Violet said , showing fang. “I came here using three different portals and two locations before dropping here. There’s no way he could have followed the portal trail. Wolves don’t have magic like that. A witch or fae must have helped him.”
    “So what?” Melody shrugged.
    Violet’s eye’s flashed. “How can we be sure he was the only one to follow us here?”
    That got Olaf and Melody’s attention.
    “Search the grounds!” Melody told the leader of the security team. “I want everyone out there. We don’t need any surprises.”
    Three of the guards left and only the two holding Cross remained. He was fighting against the noose fiercely.
    “What are we supposed to do with this , sir?” one of the guards asked.
    “Kill it,” Melody said , returning to the table. Rory’s heart sank. It was now or never. She concentrated on the spell she wanted to use. It was much easier than when she first came to the compound. Even with the curse, she was able to visualize the spell in her head.
    “Sorry , dear,” Olaf pouted. “I’m sure this one is a beast in the sack, but I don’t allow pets in the house.”
    He pretended to be some kind of upstanding gentleman , but Rory could see past Olaf’s posturing. You don’t become vampire king by being a nice guy. She wished she could have used Beatrice’s spell to wipe the smug look of their faces permanently. She would settle for this spell though. All she needed to do was get their attention.
    Olaf returned to the table too and the men started to pull Cross from the room. Before they could get to the door, the one on the right dropped dead on the spot.

    The guard on one side of Cross dropped and then the other. He was free! Free of sorts anyway. The rope around his neck was made of silver so he was still hurting. That wasn’t going to stop him from going after the bitch who took Rory. His human mind knew he should be running at the king, but his wolf only had eyes for the woman who had taken his mate.
    He was off the ground and on Violet before the second man had hit the floor. She and Melody were mid-turn to
