Demon's Soul (Blood Moon Book 2)

“Any idea where he’s got to?”
“Fuck knows.” Again, he wondered if it was a mistake leaving the mob boss alive. James had deserved what they did to him. The sadist had been about to release a bunch of crazed gangsters on Alyssa, Blade’s female. They’d put him in her place to experience the torture. But perhaps they should have ended him… “There’s no point worrying about that when there’s plenty of other work to be getting on with.”
His horde of twenty stood and, one by one, exited the hall. Some of them behaved like downright animals in the training center or when faced with aggression, but in this hall, they were always on their best behavior. Once they’d gone, he didn’t head for his quarters upstairs or his nearby office. He leaned back in the chair, swallowing as he closed his eyes. He saw her again. Veronica going through all that pain, expelling her rage on her home…smashing the mirror after seeing her new reflection…and in between those angry flashes of red, there was hazel, the only part left of the human she was a few days ago.
Her transformation was complete, which meant that soon these visions would cease. But it did not feel like a release, because the images of her were the only connection he had with her. A connection…now why would he want to hold on to that? He only hoped she would get over her trademark stubbornness and come to him, soon.
Leke was one of the supernaturals who had the gift of longevity. He was not an immortal, but he would live long enough if someone didn’t get to him first. Over the long years, he had developed powers that surpassed those of many other vampires; he did not become the leader of this horde for nothing. Some of these powers would pass on to Veronica. She is no longer human. She would resist, as the newly turned did. But one day she would come looking for them, because everyone—human or supernatural—needed somewhere to belong.
And he was impatient for her arrival.
