Chapter 480

• "What the fuck?" Louis growled out, though he kept his tone low, and didn't turn around which showed that he'd picked up the urgency in Dante's voice and hadn't ruled his words out of hand. "How could anyone get in here undetected, and what is one vampire against an entire coven anyway? He's no threat to us."
• "He's not a vampire, Louis. He's Vârcolac...and he's feral. In his sane state he could wipe out half of this coven...I don't even want to begin to imagine what he'll do in his feral state. If you have ever trusted me, let me deal with this my way. I can reason with him, convince him that we know nothing of his parents' disappearance. We can all come out of this alive if you allow me to take the lead."

If he couldn't get Louis to see sense, there was a good chance he would die this day, and there would be no one to take care of Mila.
