One was already holding me by the arms while the other was poised to hit me when someone unexpected showed up. Kyle. A vampire guard.
I looked at him and wondered, what on earth is he doing here? Anna ran to him, seeking safety behind him.
"Everything's going to be okay, Anna," he assured, before casting a glare at the two men holding me back. "Let go of him," he commanded and the two men readily obliged, lifting their hands up in the air in surrender.
Even they were smart enough to know not to mess with a vampire.
"Did you ever touch her before this night?" Kyle asked them.
The men shook their heads while one shook as he swore, "We never did. Not until tonight."
I knew without a doubt in my mind that they were lying. I gently brushed a hand over Anna's bare arm and was relieved when she looked my way without flinching. "Have you ever seen these men before, Anna? Did they come to hurt you before?"
