“ZEKE!” the woman screamed as I wrestled her captor into the ground.

I glanced up at her, confused as she dropped to her knees and swatted me repeatedly with a canvas sack that felt like it was filled with rocks.

The man, apparently named Zeke, was hissing and moaning beneath me as I shoved my elbow into the back of his neck and held one of the wooden knives against his ribs, ready to drive it through his chest.

“Get off of him, you maniac!” the woman cried, beating me with her bag of rocks.

“He’s a vampire!” I protested, throwing my weight against him as he continued to struggle.

The woman looked more annoyed than anything. Her skin wasn’t pale at all, not like his. It was a rich golden brown, and her eyes were the palest, brightest blue I’d ever seen. Her hair was covered by the hood of her black cloak, but a few rogue, shadowed curls fell over her forehead as she glowered at me and wound her arm back, slamming the sack of rocks into my shoulder.

“He’s my brother!” she spat, winding up to hit me again.

Zeke huffed a breath, straining as he tried to lift his head.

“He doesn’t look like your brother,” I said stupidly.

She glared, gritting her teeth as she reached into her bag and removed a rock. So, I’d been right.

She tossed it at me but missed, and it ricocheted off the tree and hit her in the chin. Her high-pitched screech was enough for me to loosen my grip on Zeke, and he struggled out from underneath me before I could regain my hold on him.

He had me on my back in an instant, his canine teeth snapping down from his gums in two long, pointed fangs. His amber eyes glowed, momentarily possessing me as I looked up at him, unable to tear my eyes away from his face.

“Holy s**t,” I said, unable to stop the words from rolling off my tongue.

He furrowed his brow at me as his sister came up beside him, looking down at me with marked disapproval in her eyes.

“What?” Zeke said, likely surprised I hadn’t screamed or begged for mercy.

He wasn’t a sunken, shriveled gray demon from the depths of hell like what had assaulted me. If he’d been wearing finer clothes, he easily could have been a member of Costas’ court.

But the initial shock I’d felt when I looked at his face, and the rich ebony hair, made me realize what had actually caught me by surprise.

“You look like Kiern,” I stammered, and he immediately let me go.

The woman opened her mouth in a perfect O shape, her eyes flicking to her brother’s face as the male vampire took a staggering step backward.

“How do you know the Queen of Brune?” the woman asked, her voice a symphony of sound.
