Chapter 59

The nearest vampire, a guy with a large silver stud through his nose, burst into dust less than a yard away from where Gideon and Lucas stood. Jesse stood behind him, his face set in a grim frown, his body already turning to take aim at the next one.

Lucas shrank against the wall, making himself even smaller. Out of the corner of his eye, Gideon saw him start inching away, but there was no time to stop him before two smaller vamps tried to play wishbone with Gideon’s arms. With a snarl, Gideon threw one off, sending him into the street. Jess had a bolt through his heart the second he hit the cement. The second was a bit more tenacious, fangs tearing through Gideon’s thin shirt to slice at his skin.
