From Chapter 1: The Hunt
"Lucas, I’m dying.”
He approached me on silent feet, head bent to inspect my wound.
"You’re such a baby,” he said and turned away.
"Seriously,” I croaked, clutching my toe. "It’s going to fall off.”
"Shh,” he hissed. "How are we supposed to get the jump on a vampire with you whining constantly?”
I let my throbbing foot drop, carefully avoiding the stray log I’d kicked. "I’m just nervous.”
"If you were going to wimp out, you shouldn’t have come.” He glanced over at me. "Do I need to take you back?”
"No!” I was nervous, but I still wanted to help. After all, how many times does one get to go vampire hunting with a werewolf and live to talk about it?
Well, I hoped I lived to talk about it, anyway.
"Good,” he grunted and beckoned me further down the side of the barn. "Because I don’t know how much use this will be without you.”
I couldn’t help but smile at that. The fact that a three-hundred-year-old werewolf needed my help was pretty cool. Add in that Lucas had actually let me come on this trip…well, it was just short of a miracle. Not that this was some joyride through vampire-infested lands. No, this mission into a dead vampire’s lair was occurring for one purpose and one purpose only: to prove to the pack that there was, in fact, a vampire uprising.
