“s**t!” Shouts Drusilla in frustration. “She could be anywhere! How the hell are we going to find her now?” She paces back and forth, running her fingers through her dark hair.
Lucas lets out a deep, menacing growl, staring in the direction Bethea fled. Why isn’t he chasing her?
He stands up on his hind legs and starts to shift back into his human form… and he’s completely naked. I don’t know if it’s the sight of his beautiful body or the vampire poison, but I start to feel dizzy. My knees get weak and the room starts to spin.
“Calliope?” He asks, “are you okay?”
I gulp down the acid in my throat and nod weakly. “I’m fine,” I answer. “Just go get her. Don’t worry about me.”
“That would be suicide,” he says. “We need to do this together. That’s the only way we stand a chance.”
