#Chapter 47 Dangerous Duels

Justin POV I scooped my mate at the mention of her father in Vegas, let alone right outside the front door. Helen groaned at the movement, limp in my forearms as I kept her close to my chest. Geoffrey had craved her blood instantly for the long-lasting bite and I didn’t want any other vampires looking at her like a blood bag. She’s my mate. I will protect her. “This way,” Geoffrey said. He nodded us down the hall and back into the open club dancefloor. He waved for the music to stop and it did right away. Everyone watched my mate, knocked-out in my arms like road kill would appear to a buzzard bird. I kissed her temple, hoping if she could somehow feel the tension in the air now, that she would ignore it with my cradling, defensive hold. “My clan!” Geoffrey called. “We have an uninvited wolfen guest!” A low rumbled traveled through the velvet club. “You cover their tracks and you deny their existence,” he called, pointing to my mate and me.
