.Many were experimented on.Xavier held Razvan for centuries, and in that time he saw many terrible things done to young mage women and men.A few fanatical mages worshiped him and followed his teachings.They hate Carpathians and want them wiped off the earth just as much as the vampires do.”So we know whoever sent the cat has to be mage, and not necessarily in league with the vampires.He may have his own agenda.And he’s using someone at Zacarias’s ranch.If he’s been there for some time, getting established, he must have been very distressed when Zacarias showed up.He rarely comes here.They stood at the edge of the forest, staring down at the cleared barrier between the forest and the extensive cattle ranch.The truck tracks followed the road straight into the De La Cruz property.Solange shifted and stood naked beside Dominic, smiling a little at his body’s instant response to her.“You could give me a little warning so I would be ready with clothes,” he said.She lifted an eyebrow.“I think you’re a little off your game, Dragonseeker.I expected clothes.Maybe I should be going to visit our neighbors just like this.It would definitely get us in the door.”Instantly her body was clad in familiar jeans and tee.She laughed at him.Even her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail.“Yeah, that’s what I thought.Let’s go see who wants my blood.”Dominic held out his hand.Solange only hesitated for a second before she put her hand in his and walked with him up the muddy road toward the sprawling De La Cruz ranch house.15I can never betray you.You can never part from me.In love forever, this life and next.You are the very heart of me.DOMINIC TO SOLANGECesaro saw Dominic and Solange coming and rode out to greet them on a dark horse.In full gaucho gear, he was an impressive sight.The horse all but pranced under him.He flashed a wary smile in greeting.“All is well?” he called.Dominic shook his head.“We may have discovered a plot against Zacarias, Cesaro.We are not certain, but would like to discuss matters with you.You know more about this ranch and the people on it than anyone else, I would imagine.”Cesaro slipped easily from the horse’s back, retaining the reins.“Of course.You have only to tell me what you need.”“The undead are gathering near this place and your people are all in danger.The undead will be seeking blood each night.Because there are many, they will take many lives.They can take any form, man or creature, including bats.How prepared are you should they come?”“Each house is protected, but we must guard the cattle,” Cesaro replied.They got into the house the other night, Solange pointed out to Dominic, not wanting to disprove Cesaro’s statement and hurt his pride.As a woman, he wouldn’t like the protest coming from her.“Forgive me,” Dominic bowed slightly, “but how did the vampire get into the main house the other evening? He attacked young Marguarita.Did you make inquiries?”Cesaro frowned, swept off his hat and scratched his head.“I can’t think how such a thing happened.She would never invite anyone inside the house, and she would know she was safe inside.Don Zacarias has given precise instructions and we all follow them exactly.Each family residing here knows it is life-or-death.No one would open the door for the undead.For anyone.”Zacarias would have protected all of them from compulsion as well, Solange reasoned.All the brothers protect their families that way.Someone opened the door and let the vampire inside.Someone here is working for the vampires.Dominic turned Solange’s statement over and over in his mind.It still didn’t feel right to him.He was missing something.“I would like to check on Marguarita, and discuss this further with you, Cesaro.Perhaps you could introduce me to those working here.”Cesaro’s eyebrow shot up.He was responsible for the men and women working for the De La Cruz brothers.“Do you believe we have a traitor?”Dominic chose his words carefully.Most of those working on the De La Cruz ranches were related in some way.“I just want to make certain that everyone is safe.”Cesaro turned his head and whistled.At once a younger teen bounded up and took the horse’s reins, his eyes curious, but he didn’t ask questions.When Cesaro waved him away, he looked disappointed but he took the horse back toward the corrals.Dominic glanced down at Solange’s upturned face and the question in her eyes.She’d been in his mind when he’d touched the boy.He could see Zacarias’s barrier firmly in place.If a mage had managed somehow to take over one of the workers, he would have had to go through that barrier [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
