Excerpt From Caressed by Shadows
Rain ran in rivulets down his face, the droplets caught on
his lashes like tiny crystals, a delicate contrast to the harsh gunmetal grey
of his eyes.
Falcon observed the group of Red Order Hunters that
gathered in the ally below. Shadows clung to him, concealing him in their
darkness. His prey’s laughter sailed on the wind, their merriment grating his
nerves. Falcon’s hand tightened around the grip of his dagger, his knuckles
turning white.
Poor bastards, they were peacefully oblivious to the
specter of death that stalked them.
The hunters had taken from him, stolen what he loved most
in this world. Sonya Rebane, the queen of the Voidukas Clan.
Three weeks. Sonya had endured imprisonment for three weeks
and if she had one bruise or a single scratch to mare her smooth skin, he would
roast every last Red Order hunter.
His fangs burned as his vision darkened, his gray eyes
turning as black as the pits of hell.
Tonight, he would save her. Tonight, he would have Sonya in
his arms.
The gentle hum of a car’s engine drifting on the air
disrupted his thoughts.
Glancing up at the night sky, Falcon judged it to be about eleven-thirty.
It was time for the changing of the guard. He watched as the hunters piled out
of the old black van. They fell in line behind their commander, a tall,
slender, balding man. He would open the secret door and go down into the dark
pit where the cells were located, and where Sonya was being held. The commander
was the only hunter permitted to check on the prisoners. Once finished, he
would return to the group, close the wall, and take the van back to the
soldier’s quarters. They were the only hunters that did not reside underground
like the rest of the Red Order.
Falcon moved to the edge of the roof. Tension coiled
through his body. Crouching down, he balanced on the balls of his feet. Lightning
cut across the sky, the flash causing the chrome of his holstered twin 1911s to
sparkle in the darkness.
The witches turned to face the wall. Their commander
reached out and pressed a single faded brick. The stone moved revealing a soft
glowing blue screen. Falcon’s breath froze in his lungs as he watched the
commander flatten his hand on the screen.
Just a few more seconds, he
thought. Anticipation knotted his gut.
The sound of scrapping bricks grated his nerves as he
watched the wall shift, the bricks drew back revealing the secret entrance and
a set of stairs covered in shadows.
His nostrils flared and his lungs expanded as he sucked in
a deep breath. The unmistakable, unforgettable scent of fresh lilacs mingled
with the putrid smell of waste and dirt.
Sonya was down there.
His fangs burst from their sheaths, long and sharp. His
black eyes burned with rage. His Sonya. They had his Sonya and he was going
take her back.
Falcon stood and stepped off the roof, landing silently on
the concrete below. He cocked his gun, tightened his grip on his dagger, and
stalked toward his prey.
