“You said we haveto leave soon. If I help, we can get out of here faster.”
“You’re wastingprecious time by arguing with me.”
“Then let mehelp,” Caro grated through her clenched teeth. He was sexy, but hewas also an alpha-hole.
Saber glowered ather, but they didn’t have time for this. Reluctantly, he releasedher wrist. “Fine, if you want to touch their filth, go ahead.”
“I don’t want totouch them; I want toliveand get away from this place asfast as possible.”
That was asentiment he could get behind.
Turning away, hegathered the feet of the other Savage and dragged it over to asmall hill. It was only a ten-foot fall, but Saber released hisSavage, planted his foot in its back, and kicked it down thehill.
When Caro droppedhers, he stepped in front of her and kicked it. She had insisted onhelping, but she didn’t have to deal with everything regardingthem.
The second bodytumbled down and flopped over the first. Saber stayed in front ofher as they went down the hill. Once at the bottom, they worked togather leaves and debris to cover the bodies.
“The animalsshould take care of most of their remains before anyone discoversthem,” he said.
“I hope so,” Caromurmured.
When theyfinished, Saber clasped her elbow and led her into the woods.
CHAPTER 35
Saber didn’tbother to return for his car. It wasn’t the first vehicle theAlliance lost and wouldn’t be the last. If the Savages had calledin backup, and he was certain they had, those vamps would be at thestore. They would be monitoring his and Caro’s vehicles as well ashunting them through town.
They had to find adifferent set of wheels and get out of here. They stayed in thewoods for about a mile before coming to their end.
He remained in theshadows of the trees as far too many cars flew by. After the quietof the neighborhood, he wasn’t expecting to come across such a busyroad. Any one of those cars could hold Savages hunting forthem.
He jerked his headtoward the residential homes. “We’ll have to get a car fromthere.”
Saber led the wayas Caro followed him back to the homes and onto the residentialstreet. He didn’t want to be here either, but it was a lot saferthan that busier street.
Was there a chancea Savage could stumble across them here? Yes, but it was alotless likely it would happen. The longer they remained inthis town, the more their chances of running into Savagesincreased.
Finally, luck wason their side as a woman pulled a Ford Explorer into her drivewayand put it in park. After a few seconds of fiddling around, sheclimbed out, removed a couple of bags from the back, and startedfor her front door.
Saber moved tointercept her before she went inside. With a few simple words, hetook the keys and stepped aside so she could enter the house. Oncethe door closed, he waved at the car.
“Get in,” he toldCaro as he approached the driver’s seat.
She jogged over,opened the door, and slid inside. Saber glanced around theneighborhood, but he didn’t smell anything off and didn’t seeanyone watching them. They wouldn’t be able to keep this vehiclefor long.
He opened the doorand climbed inside. He started the SUV, pulled out of the drive,and headed away from the amusement park. The farther they got fromwhere the Savages last saw them, the better they would be.
“Where do youlive?” he asked.
Caro hesitatedbefore responding. “I’m not sure I should tell you.”
Saber shot her alook. “I saved your life.”
“That doesn’t meanI trust you.”
It was a validpoint, and normally he’d appreciate her common sense—it existed sorarely and in so few people and vamps today—but he wasn’t in themood for this. He needed her to make those swords, and he had nodoubt she could do it at her house. Charles would have had a forgeand workspace.
“I know yourfather taught you how to forge weapons; I saw the differencebetween your work and his at the store,” he said.
