Xavier'S POV
I tucked my empty gun into my waistband. What had started out as a gunfight had quickly evolved into using steel and teeth. I drove my sword through another wolf shifter’s heart. Eclipse and the witches of 5th Circle swarmed us like ants. Clusters of bodies battled in the main hall. A full array of colorful spells zipped across the space, and metal clashed against metal. Snarls followed the sounds of tearing flesh. The floor became slick with blood.
I sank my blade between a witch’s shoulder blades, then spun to dodge a spell with my vampire speed. Eclipse wanted a fight, and that was what they were getting. We weren’t going to roll over and die. Penumbra Syndicate would live past this night.
Further down the hall, Lysander roared, shredding wolves in his unique half-form.
