LUCAS
A flash of fire erupts across the battlefield, and we snap our attention toward the source. Lisa stands with her magitech brace extended, her face fierce with concentration as a vampire falls back.
Kellan's mate is more than just talk. Good to know.
Magister Orion extends his hand, and the same vampire's head explodes.
Huh. Ava can really choose her friends.
Another vampire lunges at us, teeth bared. Aurum drives his shoulder into the creature's abdomen. The momentum carries us to the ground, but we're on top, pinning it with our weight.
Aurum drives our claws deep into his chest before ripping his heart out with a strong snap of his jaws. Bone and organ come out together. Bloodsuckers might be strong, but their bone density isn't any different than an average human's.
But Aurum's bite has far more force than the average shifter, thanks to his alpha bloodline.
