All Chapters of Immortal Cravings: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I didn’t think my heart could have taken much more… but the punch coming from Mars had been so left of field, that when it happened, the only safe option was for me to leave. If I had stayed, I would have thrown her against a wall and hurt her. I might have even killed he…Never in my life had I met someone so infuriating. But that was what she was. My infuriating, beautiful human lover. And there in lay the problem. She was human.

Pacing the library, I waited for the phone to pick up.“This is Maddison.”I could hear the tautness of pleasure to the vampire’s voice, and it pissed me off. While I had told Tony, his relationship with Maddison was not forbidden, it was not looked upon favorably right now. “Where is Tony?”I heard the phone scrambled between hands as my head of security took the device from his fledgling. “Lord Raynes?”My temper was white hot. “Where have you been?”“Sir. We were with Lord James all of last night. Someone came into Miss Brennan’s room and tried to take her. We stopped them. But they had the mark of Korin’s coven, so we dragged him back to his master. Turns out he’s a traitor and Korin flayed him.”Yeah, that sounded about right for my cousin. If anyone crossed him, he would make them pay in the most painful of ways. “And now?”“Sir

Three hours.Surely that was a new record…Pity it was under shit circumstances and I wouldn’t ever want to claim the title of this one… because it would always remind me of what happened.Stepping onto the boundary of the factory, I stopped and surveyed the carnage.A war had happened here.But the clean up crew Korin would have sent, did a bang up job of cleaning, I had to admit that. There wasn't a single shred of evidence that supernatural creatures had fought here, just puddles of blood,which by morning would no doubt be soaked in. The scent of wet fur lifted to my nostrils.Fucking lycan.This would be the second time in a month Marley had been attacked by the over grown chihuahuas, and I was starting to wonder if there was something more to the attacks. Especially when last time, they had named me and demanded her.My gaze shifted to a dark patch on the grass near the ruined shutters and the smell of

The address left on the note was a factory, not unlike the one Marley had been taken from and within a few minutes of our safe house.The fucking asshole was right under our noses the whole time. Had he been surveiling Marley? Had he been following her? Had he watched as I had left her alone? I would love to find him, bounce him off the walls and ask... and then I'd let Marley kill him.As we neared the building, my skin prickled and I stopped, Tony on one side, Maddison on the other. “Lycan.”As the filthy word left my mouth, a dozen lycan came streaming from the building’s door and I lowered my center of gravity.“Leave none, alive.”We engaged.Fur ripped as we three, all elder vampires, slaughtered the lycan which stood in the way of getting to Marley. Animal after animal fell with a howl, my boot connecting with the head of one, sending it flying, its heavy body landing awkwardly on its own neck, cracking it and killing it instantl

I finally got the upper hand on the big man… the one who looked like Vince, but smelt… feral. I slammed him against the wall, my hand gripping his windpipe with extended claws, as he hung uselessly in my grip. “I will kill you!”“Go for it, pretty boy.” he choked, laughing like a mad man. He’d given up. There was no fight left in him… “You have no idea what’s coming… but without her now… you might fall a little easier.”I roared, my claws digging in and I twisted. Blood sprayed as I ripped the vampire’s throat from his body, and tossed it to the side like a sack of flour. I honestly didn’t give a fuck who he was, and why he looked so much like Vince. Right now, my priority was Marley.Turning, I raced back to Marley. She lay on her side, her back to me and I knelt down, slowly and gently rolling her to her back and into my arms. The smell of blood hit me, before I saw
