He pressed the sharp point of his dagger against the tender flesh along the Vamp’s hard jaw line.

“Doesn’t feel so good, now, does it?” Shade growled against his ear and pressed the metal tip further into his flesh, bringing a thick drop of blood to the surface.

The tall men stood eye to eye. Garrett was shocked by Shade’s inky black eyes. They were so dark that he couldn’t tell where the iris ended and the pupil began.

No one looked angry or upset that they had just been shoved out of Garrett’s way…he was just gone…vanished…poof!
