life to be taken away.
                  Another wave of vampires poured into the room. Nate had no choice but to make the change.
                  Maxine stood pressed against the wall behind Nate. Shock came over her as she realized what was happening. Nate was changing right before her eyes. She could not only see but also feel the change.
                  In werewolf form, Nate turned and grabbed Maxine by the arms. She was pulled tightly to his fur covered form. Before she had a chance to think, Nate had leaped across the room in an inhuman length.
                  Maxine stared down at the hands gripping her. Large fur covered paws with sharp claws, but she also knew she was in no danger from them. The only danger was what they were keeping her from.
                  They landed by a door, a doorway that would lead them out of this place.
                  Nate put her down and growled, “”Go!” their eyes locked. Maxine knew those eyes. Even in his werewolf form, the eyes were still Nate’s.
                  She started towards the door but stopped when she noticed he was not following. He growled more ferociously this time shoving her towards the door. “Go now!”
                  Maxine turned and ran to the door not looking back this time. She understood. This would be her only chance; Nate would stay behind holding them off as long as he could to give her the chance she needed to get away.
                  There was only one problem, neither of them bargained on the vampire on the other side of the door.
                  Maxine stared into the dangerous eyes of a blood thirsty killer. It was a trap…he had been waiting for her.
                  Nate tensed himself ready for the attack approaching him. Maxine was gone. He had led her to safety. He might lose his life but now she would live hers, and that was enough to make the fight well worth it.
                  He could let her go now, finally concentrate on the mission and hopefully take out the vampire master with him.
                  Nate would never return to his pack. They would choose a new leader when he was gone, but his pack would be rid of their threat and be given a chance for their own survival.
                  Nate blocked the entrance to the door. The first attack came from above. A vampire that had scaled the ceiling dropped down on him taking Nate down to the ground with it. Nate shifted his body to the side, and rolled into a stance. He slashed the vampire across the chest straight to the heart. Just as that vampire was taken care of, another was on him and it continued to go on like this until Nate noticed something was not right.
                  Not once had any of the vampires approached the door that Maxine had gone through, maybe they had not noticed. No, that was not right. There was no way they could have not seen.
                  They were up to something, and all at once he knew, it had been a set up. They had been pushing them in this direction all night.
                  Nate held his claws ready at his side. He scanned the room only to see something that held him in shock.
                  Crowds of vampires parted, and between them walked the master vampire.
                  But it was what the master vampire held in its clutches that really caught his eye, caught in a tight embrace of the creature’s arms with frightened eyes was Maxine.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Nineteen
                  The master vampire jerked Maxine’s body up off the floor holding her in midair against his chest. The master vampire had grabbed her on the other side of the door. She had fought but was no match for the creature. The master vampire knew that Nate would not attempt to attack their creator, there were too
