My Vampire Harem Will Dominate Everything - Chapter 378

Chapter 378: The Crossroads
Red nodded, already moving toward the door. “I’ll drive.” She said, grabbing the keys from a hook on the wall.

As they walked out of the building and made their way to the stairwell, Red took the lead with Wade following. Olivia was behind him and Ezra brought up the rear.

As they walked, Wade brought out his phone and made a call.

“Wade here.” He paused. “L7256.”

After whoever on the other end of the line had confirmed whatever he had to confirm, Wade made his report.

“We have an unknown number of Warmongers moving towards the Crossroads. They’re chasing a Society defector coven. I have made contact with the coven and am currently escorting them to our stronghold.”

He listened to the other end as they burst into the underground parking lot, heading for their car.

“Alright.” He finally said and ended the call.

As they got to the car, Red slid into the driver’s seat and Wade took the passenger’s side. Ezra settled into the back with Olivia, keeping his eyes on Wade. If the Lookout tried anything, he’d handle it.

Red started the hovercar and moments later, they were on their way.

The car was silent as they drove on and the city gave way to open roads.

After six months on the run, it was the final stretch of the journey.

They would finally enter the Crossroads.

Ezra had heard of the town since the Vampire Society fractured. It was a border town where Monarchy and Society territories met.

The town was divided by a single road cutting through it and serving as a symbolic and literal boundary. No one crossed without permission.

After a few hours on the road, the town finally came into view. Ezra raised his brow as Olivia moved beside him to get a better view of something in the distance, out of the current range of his Aura.

“Is that the Crossroads?” She asked.

“Yes, milady.” Wade answered. “We’re close.”

Curious, Ezra extended his Aura to see the town for himself but before he could even get a quarter of the way there, his Aura pinged on something.

Trailing them in the distance was a hovervan and sitting inside it was a team of amored Warmongers.

He leaned forward. “Red, we’ve got company. The van.”

Red adjusted the mirror and grimaced.

Wade shifted uneasily. “We’ll have to stop in a few minutes. The Monarchy sent a welcoming party and they’d have to check and clear us before we’ll be allowed entrance.” He said.

“No.” Ezra said, keeping his attention on the van. They had the same thing that made their van move faster like the sports car of the earlier Warmongers. “Stopping is just inviting trouble. We can’t afford to stop with them behind us. Keep driving.”

“My lord!” Wade turned back to stare at Ezra. “I wouldn’t advise it.”

“Don’t worry.” Ezra kept his attention on the van. “Just call the Monarchy and inform them of what’s happening. Tell them the defector is Ezra Matten.” That should be enough for them to prepare accordingly.

He turned his head, as if his eyes were really working, towards Wade. “Trust me.”

Wade nodded and quickly fished out his phone, dailing whoever it was that could make things happen.

Red floored the accelerator pedal, the car speeding even faster to the Crossroads. But the faster they went, the closer the Warmongers got.

It was daylight and they couldn’t afford to use their powers in public. The Law of Secrecy was a bit loose now but that didn’t mean it still wasn’t enforced. Besides, there was nothing stopping them from using their abilities. They just had to make sure humans couldn’t see it.

Before he could do anything, the space within the van warped, the Warmongers aiming through the windshield at the car through the now increased space between the driver’s and passenger’s seat.

“Incoming!” He barked and a second later, the car jolted as a burst of gunfire ricocheted off the rear bumper.

Red cursed under his breath, swerving to the side, while Wade ducked instinctively. Fortunately, there were not that many cars on the road with them.

Ezra could feel the bullets trying to exert an effect on the car but he quickly infused his Aura with a sense of immutability, causing the effect to fade away. The next volley of bullets won’t be this weak with how closer the Warmongers were getting.

He glanced at Olivia, who clutched her belly protectively. He didn’t need eyes or a soul bond to feel the trust radiating from her. She knew that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her and the baby.

Shooting a smile at her, he turned his attention to the car and placed his hands on the seat.

“Hold it steady, Red.” He said calmly. “This is going to feel… different.”

Red gave a nod but didn’t reply, her attention already occupied with swerving to avoid the Warmonger’s attacks.

Ezra shifted his attention, focusing on the car’s structure. His Aura fed him the most accurate image he’d ever get of the car, visualizing the metal bending, the windows thickening, and the tires growing tougher.

His darkness began pouring off him and seeping into the body of the car. The car shuddered as the darkness rippled through the frame like a current. From the inside, it felt like watching ice ripple into water and back into ice.

The windows darkened to an almost impenetrable tint, the metal body of the car thickened with an audible groan, and the tires grew thicker treads.

“There.” Ezra said, sitting back confidently. “That should be enough to get us to the Crossroads intact.”

With the darkness reinforcing the car and stealing the vitality from any bullet effect, they should be able to weather this storm.

Another volley of bullets struck the car, but this time they flattened harmlessly against the reinforced metal. Wade exhaled audibly, his grip on the dashboard relaxing slightly. “This might actually work.”
