Chapter 347

• "Everyone has underestimated just who and what the Vârcolac are," Kallum said firmly. "Everyone is so hell-bent on protecting us that you appear to have forgotten just what we're capable of. Mac said himself that Lily was a lethal fighter. I can tell you right now that she would have been curbing her skills in any sparring matches she's undertaken. If she was trying to pass as a full vampire, and a reasonably young one at that, then she'd have no option but to hide her true abilities."
• "Yes, you've have extensive training, Kal," Caleb agreed though his tone was slightly doubtful. "Gard has done his best to ensure you can handle yourselves in emergency situations until backup arrives. But it's an entirely different thing when you're being assaulted by a group of experienced fighters out in the real world."
• Rhianna kept her eyes on Kallum's face, noting the way his lips tightened in displeasure. She let out a slow breath, the sound drawing his gaze to hers. His lips quirked into a smile and she felt herself answering him with a smile of her own as realisation dawned on her.
