Meanwhile, as a human, Damon Valentine was decked out in muscles and stood at a height so tall that she had to crane her neck just to look him in the eye. He had to be over six feet, she guessed, and with such an athletic physique, even just one hit as a human — without the aid of his enhanced werewolf strength — could even be enough to end her life.

I could only applaud her gall, knowing that she had signed her death warrant. Damon wasn't going to let any other woman ride him, whether it was for pleasure or for murder. His teeth dug straight through her foot as he bit down with all the strength in his jaw. Elise was merely wearing leather boots, and while they were good at protecting her feet from most perils, they were utterly useless when faced with the strength of Damon's jaw.

I watched Damon's wolf form nod as if he was responding to my thoughts. Damon couldn't respond to Elise's taunts and insults since he wasn't in his human form, but I could sense his thoughts loud and clear. It was as though I could hear his voice murmuring into my ear.

"Harper, get in the car now!" Damon yelled, with his back still facing me. All his attention was on Elise, who was drawing in close for another attempt. "This woman is a hunter!"

"No, I'm off duty for now. I'm actually on my way to my part-time job," Elise said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. That look sent alarm bells ringing in my head; no one should be so happy at the thought of doing more work, even if they needed the money.

"No," Damon interrupted quickly, causing me to blink in surprise. "You will come to me and only me for this situation, do you understand?"

I gulped. Oh fuck. This couldn't possibly be a mansion inhabited by vampires, could it?

"Then explain the purple eyes," Damon said challengingly. "Come on, I'm waiting. What mysterious disease could it possibly be due to?"

"Then tell me what you know," Damon said. "I'm guessing it's something that will make me angry, which is why you're so hesitant to speak. Normally, nothing stops your mouth from moving."

"I'll come with you," I offered, "You don't know what Gus looks like."

True enough, despite my worst fears of vampires swarming Damon and killing him or Damon possibly driving off into a ditch and his car exploding into smithereens because of his reckless driving, Damon managed to arrive back in Fangborne a mere two days later with nothing more than impressive dark circles under his eyes to rival Nicole's own.

Perhaps the housekeeping staff and owners were all gone for a holiday. But it was also strange for the wealthy to not have a security team of some sort to guard their property while they were gone.

There was no way around it; Gus practically beamed from ear to ear after hearing my words. His already pale skin seemed to glow with some inner radiance, as though he was a pregnant woman basking in the joy of impending motherhood.

In the end, we compromised. Damon would drive himself to get the delivery, while I stayed in Everhaven with Doctor Thomas for the time being until he returned. There was no point in wasting time bringing me back to Blaise when I couldn't do anything for him.

"I'll go with you," I offered, sensing his distress and dismay, no matter how much he tried to pretend it didn't phase him. For some reason, Damon seemed to detest the very thought of dealing with humanity.
