she saw the movement of a shadow.  No, not
a shadow.
    A wolf.  A white wolf, running toward the
cabin.  Paige tensed. “Are we…are we supposed to be having
company?” She didn’t see anyone else, just that wolf.
    “
Michael.”
    While she watched, the wolf began to shift. As the
white fur vanished, it almost looked like snow was dripping away to
reveal the man’s flesh.  Then he stood, staring up at the
camera. Up at them. In that moment, with him back in human form,
she recognized the werewolf.
    Paige’s hand went to her throat. The faint scratches
were long gone by now, but she never forgot anyone who gave her
pain, no matter how slight the wound was.
    Not until she’d given payback for her injuries.
    The old Paige, the girl she’d been, had never thought
of vengeance and punishment.
    The vampire knew there had to be a rough justice in
the paranormal world. Only the strong survived.
    She’d survive. So would Drake. She’d make sure of
it.
    “Why is he here?”  Drake demanded.  “He
should be at the lake, hunting the vampires. He should–”
    “He’s not alone.” Because she’d seen the other
shadows. The ones that were closing in on the shifter. 
    Michael had to hear the vampires. Had to smell
them.
    But he just kept walking toward the cabin like he
didn’t have a care in the world.  “Does he know how to get
past your security?”  Her heart was racing in her chest.
    Michael headed for the cabin. Another camera zoomed
in on his face as he approached the front door. For just an
instant, Paige caught sight of the smile that curved Michael’s
lips.
    Hell.
    “He brought them here,” she whispered as the cold
certainty settled in her gut. Michael was going to lead the
vampires inside.  Right to her and Drake. They would be
sitting ducks for the vamps.
    Their safe house had just become their prison.
    Two of them.  Two against–how many vamps?
    The shadows pushed toward the cabin. One. Two. Three.
Four…
    Five?
    “He’s not getting in,” Drake said as he punched a
series of codes into the computer. “He doesn’t have the right
access code. I changed a few days, and, after he hurt you, I didn’t
give it to him.”
    Her breath rushed out. 
    “Never really trusted him,” Drake muttered as he
reached for the radio. He connected almost instantly with the
compound. “Wolf gone rogue at safe house one,” he said, biting off
the words. “Send back up…”
    Michael wasn’t smiling anymore. He was kicking at the
door. Punching.  Guess he’d realized he didn’t the right code
to get inside.
    “That’s steel, bastard,” Drake said, voice hardening,
“Reinforced fucking steel, and no, I didn’t tell your ass about
that little feature, either.”
    Because Drake had known that Michael might turn on
him? 
    Another voice crackled over the radio. “Coming now,
alpha.  Two teams. Are there–”
    The vampires closed in on Michael. They grabbed him
and hauled him away from the cabin.  Michael didn’t fight
them. The wolf went with them willingly.
    But she could see he wasn’t smiling anymore.
    Her chest began to burn. She knew what would happen
next. Michael might have thought he was working with the vampires.
He might have
thought
that…
    “Michael brought the vampires,” Drake said flatly
into the radio, “and, they’re–”
    Killing him.
    Or, they would be, soon enough. Right then, they were
holding him down.  Slicing into him with their razor-sharp
fangs.
    Drinking from him.
    And making sure that the security cameras saw
everything.
    “Get the fuck here,” Drake snarled and tossed the
radio aside. Then he whirled and headed for the stairs.
    Paige grabbed him. “You
can’t
go out
there.”  A glance at the monitors showed her that Michael was
fighting back now. Screaming.
    The vampires were still drinking. 
    Only it wasn’t just four vampires any longer.
    Six.
    Her breath caught when she saw Gabe. He wasn’t
drinking from the werewolf. Gabe just stood there, staring
