revolting creature wasn’t planning to turn her into a bloodsucker.
Unexpectedly, Becki felt herself being ripped from Rouel’s grasp. The next thing she knew, she was being flung, none to gently, into the nearby bushes. She watched in amazement as Trevor gripped Rouel by the neck shouting, “I told you she was off limits!”
Trevor knew this Vampire?
As Trevor pinned him against the side of the house, Rouel laughed evilly. “Why should you have her all to yourself?” he asked Trevor. “We can share her. Think about it… we will both be able to enjoy her… in and out of bed.”
With that statement, Rouel sealed his fate, and Trevor’s. As long as Rouel roamed the earth, Becki would never be safe.
Trevor heard Becki gasp and turned to see her look of horror and disappointment.
“Trev?” she whispered. As she struggled to stand, her eyes filled with tears. “No. You wouldn’t-- you couldn’t-- I love you. You are my friend.”
“See,” Rouel wheedled, “she loves you. Becki isn’t opposed to the idea; are you, Darling? We will make sure you enjoy your time with us, won’t we Trevor? We will take special care of you, separately as well as--”
Trevor didn’t allow Rouel to put his filthy thoughts into words. He moved quickly; ripping a piece of wood siding from the house and sending it into Rouel’s black heart.
Trevor dropped Rouel’s body to the ground. The Vampire began to smolder and quickly burst into flames. Trevor lifted Becki in his arms and transported them both to the safety of the roof, while the Wolves finished off the remaining blood-suckers.
Landon howled his thanks to Trevor, marking him off limits to the rest of the pack, for now anyway. It was past time to clean up this mess and then he would deal with Joanna. Landon specifically remembered telling her to “stay put”.

Where the hell was he? This bullshit was going to have to stop.
“I could use some help here,” Trevor said quietly as soon as Royce began to stir.
Royce jacked knifed into low crouch as he looked around. He immediately realized that he was up on a rooftop. Did Joanna really need to zap him with that much magic? After a few moments, he processed the fact that Becki was up there with him, cradled in the arms of Trevor Simmons!
“She is going to be upset when she wakes up,” Trevor spoke again.
Royce reached for his 35, the one loaded with oak bullets, just as Becki regained consciousness. His heart skipped a beat when she moaned painfully.
“What did you do to her?” Royce asked, taking aim at Trevor’s forehead. There was no doubt that he could put a bullet in the son-of-abitch, and Becki would barely feel the breeze as the bullet passed over her.
Becki opened her eyes to find herself perched on the roof of Kurt’s garage, wrapped securely in Trevor’s arms, while Royce pointed a gun at them.
All of a sudden, everything came crashing into focus. Vampires and Werewolves! She had to get to the girls. Becki had to know they were safe, and she began to struggle.
“Be still,” Trevor advised. “Lover boy might accidentally shoot you.”
“Not a chance in hell. Get away from her,” Royce demanded, his gun still leveled at Trevor’s head.
“Royce, what are you doing?” Becki asked incredulously as she flung her body in front of the Warlock. “Stop that right now! Trev is my friend!”
“Becki, honey, I hate to tell you, but he is not who you think he is,” Royce warned. “Back away, baby. I won’t let him hurt you.”
“Are you insane?” she exclaimed.
Trevor sighed and pushed her gently away. “He’s right, Doll. I’m not who you think I am.”
“Don’t be an idiot, Trev,” she said, rolling her eyes and moving back to shield his body with hers. “If you had wanted to hurt me, you would have let Rouel make me your sex-slave.”
“The hell you would,” Royce roared as he captured Becki’s arm and jerked. She fell toward Royce, as planned, leaving him a clear shot at Trevor. He was going to put this Warlock down once and for all. Wrapping one arm tightly around Becki, he checked his aim and squeezed the trigger.
Landon, who had shifted into human form, leapt to the rooftop, intentionally knocking Royce off balance. His shot went wide and he missed his target by a mile. Trevor sardonically raised one eyebrow at Royce, who had fallen on his ass and dropped his pistol.
Becki furiously scrambled to reach the pistol with her foot and gave
