Blood Bond (Anna Strong Chronicles #9)
“Vlad is instantly beside me. Take care of Frey, I tell him.
He doesn’t argue or question. He moves away. When he is at Frey’s side, I turn to the bear.
There is enough of Anna’s consciousness left to make vampire wonder if it is Steffan or Archambault in control. No matter.
Vampire circles the beast. He watches her, wary. He makes no move to attack as if uncertain what type of animal he faces. That is fine with me. I, vampire, will choose the attack before he can make up his mind.
I glance to F...rey. The other vampire has opened a wrist and is holding it to the cat’s mouth. His own eyes are slit, too, like the cat’s, like mine. Good. His blood will heal the panther.
A low rumbling sound from behind me. Bear is sounding a warning.
I turn. He has pulled himself to his full height, towering over me. He is snarling, showing his teeth. He waves paws with claws half a foot long in my face.
A plan forms. I need bear on the ground if I am to get to what I need. I reach up, grab one of the paws and, stepping back, twist until I hear the shoulder pop and the paw go limp.MoreLess
