he saw the head vampire land a blow to Sandra’s stomach, kicking her against the tree. His woman didn’t give up.
    “Just think of the power I will have with you.”
    Lucas saw what was about to happen, but couldn’t stop it. The head vampire moved around her back, grabbed her tight, and teleported out of the field.
    He screamed for his mate, and when he looked around the grounds, he saw they had all witnessed it.
    “Find her,” he said.
    Patricia was already grabbing his hand.
    “What are you doing?” he asked.
    “Hold onto this piece of rope. You’re the thing that belongs to Sandra. You’re bound together.” She closed her eyes, and Sean touched her, channeling their magic together.
    “If he takes her, he will be stronger and find more vampires to feed off.”
    “Then The Cure will be strong,” Sean said.
    “Come on. We can end this with that fucker.”
    Patricia showed him in his mind where Sandra was, and Lucas blinked. Sandra was gone, and so he had no choice but to go back to the field. Three more tries of finding Sandra had him going back to Patricia and Sean.
    “Where is she?” he asked.
    “Wait,” Patricia said, “he’s doing it on purpose to weaken you. Give him a moment.”
    They stood, waiting, and after a few minutes, she smiled, channeling the image of where she was.
    He was going back to the spot where he first saw her.

    “You think you can fight me?” the lead vampire said, throwing her across the lake toward the trees.
    With all the teleporting, she was dazed and weak. She shouldn’t have taken on this vampire, and it was her mistake.
    He grabbed her, tugged her close, and bit into her neck.
    Sandra screamed, begging for Lucas to come and help her.
    The vampire ravished her neck, sucking the blood out of her.
    “Get off her.”
    Lucas appeared, grabbing the vampire’s throat and unlocking his jaw, much like you would do a dog.
    Sandra collapsed to the ground and gasped as Lucas took over the fight.
    “Where I fall, another will rise,” the vampire said.
    “Then we will keep you all down.” Lucas pushed the vampire to the ground and yanked his head clean off his body. Holding his head, he spun him over and yanked out his heart. Within seconds the head vampire vanished into dust, and Sandra found herself gasping.
    “I’ve got you, baby. I’ve got you, and I’m not going to let you go.”
    “I’m sorry, Lucas. I had to do it. I had to protect them.”
    He cupped her face and pressed a kiss to her lips. “How can I be angry with you, baby? The Cure has been defeated. We won, and we’re not going to let them take over again.” He held her tightly, and she closed her eyes, just basking in the feel of his arms around her. She didn’t want him to ever let her go. “Hold onto me.”
    She wrapped her arms around him, and he teleported them back to the field. The moment they arrived, they were surrounded by cheers and love.
    Sandra smiled at all the people she had saved, and there was no sign of the vampires who’d tried to kill them.
    “Where are the others?” Sandra asked.
    “We’re going there now,” Patricia said. “We’re going to go and release them.”
    Pulling away from Lucas, she looked up at him. “If we go together, we can take Sean and Malcolm and break them out of the cages.”
    “You do that, and we’ll be there within the hour,” Patricia said.
    Lucas took hold of her face and pressed a kiss to her lips. “Be careful.”
    She nodded, taking hold of Sean’s hand. “Are you ready?”
    “Yes.”
    Closing her eyes, she teleported back into the cells, and Sean pressed a fireball to the lock.
    “It’s okay,” she said, finally going to the children who were locked in the cages. “We’re here to protect you.”
    Snapping the lock, she opened the door. At first the children wouldn’t leave the cage, and it broke her heart to witness.
    “We’re not going to hurt you, and I’m not going to let anyone else hurt you. I promise. You’re
