Chapter 77

Declan:

Cursing and moaning and groaning all the way, Declan got up. “Stay here,” he said, as he pulled the t-shirt over his head.

“Think again.” She rolled off the bed, cocking her head at him, daring him to argue with her.

“Aster I--”he stopped, changed course, --“you’re right. You can look after yourself just fine.”

“Damn straight I can.”

He grinned. “Let’s go.”

“You don’t have a weapon,” she said, as she ran up the stairs behind him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find one.”

They ran into the lobby to find their clan standing on the one side and a mixed group of unknown vampires and humans on the other.

“What’s going on?” Declan asked the vampire closest to him.

“I don’t know,” she said, “they just came stumbling in from outside.”
