staring. After all who wouldn t stare, her and Rive
and Alexia were totally hot, especially after
stopping at a gothic clothing store and persuading
some outfits off the girl working there.
They were dressed in matching leather pants
and knee high boots with spiked heels, red fishnet
shirts over black tube tops. They were hot and
they were blending well with the crowd in this
part of town. Even the silver eyes of the mermaids
and the brown and blue eyes of the werepire were

not so odd when compared with the contact-
enhanced eyes of the humans about.
Rina drifted to the back of their group and tried
to refocus on the mission. She looked about,
searching the shadows and alleyways for signs of
wizard-magic. There was plenty of magic about,
old and new. New Orleans was thick with
immortal history. With the recent influx of
immortals after this clue, Rina s senses were on
overload and without the ability to focus, it was
hopeless. She wasn t doing her mersister any good
at this point.
Without realizing what she was doing, she
drifted farther and farther back from the group.
Soon they were nearly a block ahead of her as she
walked slow and studied each and every influx of
magic residue she sensed. She stopped at a
juncture that seemed to lead nowhere. The
alleyway to her left looked to be a dead end, but
she felt something. She wasn t sure what it was, it
didn t feel like a clue, but it was definitely
something.
Her heart began to pound in her chest and she
was helpless to stop her feet from taking her down
the alleyway. One slow step at a time she moved,
closer and closer to something, something was
calling to her, needing her, wanting her. She was
completely flooded by the feeling of acceptance,
belonging and love. Her steps hurried as the

feeling increased and her mind calmed more than
it had since before she met Lucas. It felt as if
everything in her life had just clicked into place
and she was just& content.

Lucas knew the moment it happened, felt his soul
rip apart inside his body, his every sense telling
him to turn around and run as fast as possible to
save her, but it would still be too late. Rina was
gone.
Lucas froze in the middle of crossing the street
and doubled over with the shock. His glamour
flickered around him and disappeared, causing a
couple of drunks to stumble into a parked car,
setting off the alarm and waking a sleeping bum
nearby. The others hurried to pull him off the
street and into a dark doorway. Their voices
buzzed around him, but he couldn t make out any
words. Not that anything they were saying could
matter. Rina was gone and he was alone for the
rest of his immortal life.
Damn it, Lucas, talk!
Ian s growl and accompanying smack on the
back pulled him out of his shock. He blinked up
from the ground at the faces surrounding him and
covered himself with his glamour once again.
She s gone, he said simply, his voice weak.

Everyone pulled back and as it dawned on them
that Rina was not there any longer, sorrow of
varying degrees passed across their features.
Except for Rive, her eyes narrowed and her
mouth tightened, but not a touch of grief lay there.
My mersister may not be here, but she is far from
dead. I would know if I had lost a clan sister, the
song of death would have flown from me as soon
as her heart stopped beating. She is alive, but
something is definitely wrong.
Hope filled Lucas so fast his glamour started to
flicker and threatened to disappear again. You
are sure? Why do I feel as if my mate is dead?
Explain that to me.
I don t know, I don t know how your bond
works. I only know how mine does.
Who would have the power to break your
mate bond? Ian asked.
I don t know, a wizard, perhaps. He had the
power to keep me from flashing. Walker is much
more powerful than we anticipated and he is
watching us particularly close.
What does that mean? Rive asked.
It means he just upped the stakes and we had
better get a move on, fast. Rina won t suffer a
moment with that psychotic wizard more than
necessary. Lucas spoke with such force, even
Paxton nodded with quick agreement.

numb from sitting on concrete and her body
covered in scales from the dampness all around
her. Her clothing was dirty and torn. She had lost
the heel of one boot along the way and her
normally wild red curls were absolutely feral,
spiking up around her head in short angry bursts.
Half her nails were broken and she was pretty
sure her shoulder was dislocated at one point. She
healed fast and it had popped right back into place
with minimal soreness remaining.
She had a vague, very foggy memory of being
