Chapter 48: Falcata

Salvatore’s POV

My whole body was shaking by the time I returned to the coven city. Watching my mate fighting and getting hurt was not how I wanted the day to start. I had planned to join the hunt for Leonardo and trained at dawn.

When Tristan delivered the news from Seth that Lycus had joined the hunt, fear gnawed at my soul. Is this how he always felt when I was in danger?

I rushed out of the coven city and followed them, knowing I was hours behind. Hoping he would not fall into danger, I pushed myself more than I had ever done.

Sounds of seething and growling greeted me when I arrived at the scene. Vampire hunters were fighting rogue vampires. The smell of rotting flesh was enough to tell me that Leonardo was breeding evil. Lycus in his Lycan form rushed toward Leonardo who was laughing and taunting him. Lycus had a gashed wound on his leg and limped as he rushed toward him.

F*ck!
