My hound had run me ragged for hours, and I’d stopped pretending I could wrestle him down. I just let him take the wheel; it was easier that way. He dragged me straight to the Serpent’s Veil, and at first I told myself it was because I needed a drink. Then I walked in and smelled her. Allison. God, of course it had to be her. She was on the dance floor, hair a dark blur, laughing one second and then frozen the next with some slick vampire glued to her spine. The moment his mouth went toward the soft spot at her throat, something in me flipped to red. I moved before I had time to think. So much faster than any thought I could make sense of, and I shoved him so hard he landed on

his arse.
