Aislinn put on what she considered to be her best interview clothes. The outfit consisted of a pair of black dress pants, a white button up shirt, and a shear black scarf she tied at her neck. She put on a pair of black heels and combed her hair into a twist at the back of her head. She didn't really know what kind of business was at the other end of the address, but she figured that the look was conservative enough for just about anything and not overly dressy. She had bought the clothes to attend a funeral and hadn't been given another opportunity to wear them.

She took one last look at herself in the mirror before pocketing the piece of paper she'd been given and heading downstairs. She'd been putting this off for more than a week. When she had gone into work at the bar the day after she had met Cullen she found out that Derrick had ended up in the hospital after all. Luke said that he'd been told Derrick would be out for a couple of weeks or more.

    "I'm going with them," Mila said quietly, not looking at Dante as she spoke. She didn't need to see his expression to know he would be furious at her announcement. It wasn't that she wanted to hurt him, she just knew that this was the right thing to do. If he didn't want to throw his hand into the mix, then that was his choice. She, however, had never really had a choice, not since the moment she'd had her vision of the Justice Seeker.When the expected explosion didn't materialise, she turned in his direction, but he was sitting so still her vision wouldn't come to her. "Dante?" It was unlike him to be so silent. He always made some subtle movement so she could effectively see."Have you had another vision? One that I am not aware of?" he finally asked, tilting his head to the side as he spoke.Mila let out a small breath, relieved that she could now see his expression though he was giving nothing away. "No, but I don't need to have another vision. I have known since the first one th

    She was staring at him as if he were insane. For some reason he didn't find that as pleasurable as he usually did. "The vampire who struck you...I killed him. I was going to make him suffer but Dara wasn't too impressed with that idea. I can heal your bruise with my blood if you'd like."Natalia stared at the man Pippa called Monster, and he truly was a monster. He appeared to only be a few years older than she was, but that was where any point of common reference ended. He thought telling her that he had killed someone was some kind of badge of honour? Then he offered to let her drink his blood as if that was normal too? What kind of lunatic was he?"No, I don't want to drink your blood. Seriously? You think that's socially acceptable? Just the thought of it makes me want to throw up, and don't think I haven't forgotten that you were ready to put my mother out of her misery. Stay away from me, Kothari or Agony or whoever the hell you are. I don't need your help and I don't want to be

    Dara headed over to Dante and Mila, leaving Natalia with her mother and Pippa. She was reasonably happy that the danger point with Ava had been averted for now; she just wasn't sure what to do with the situation without talking to Rafe. Before she did that, she wanted to make sure the female vampire was healing okay. She had promised Dante she would help his friend."Do you need some blood to help you heal?" she asked, kneeling down beside the couple.The other woman looked up as she spoke, a smile crossing her pretty face. "Thank you, but that won't be necessary. I have fed from Dante and I am almost back to full strength." She sat up, shooing Dante as he kept his arms around her. "Stop now, I am fine, Dante. I want to hear about the girl and her mother.""You almost died, woman. I told you not to reveal yourself without me. I'll bloody well hover for as long as it takes my heart to start beating normally." There was censure in his voice but also concern.His words just made Mila smi

    "Mackenzie!" Lily groaned, pushing at his chest and conceding defeat quickly when he wouldn't let go. "You can't keep me locked up here at the compound. It's like being in a prison." It wasn't really, how could being in her mate's loving embrace ever be like a prison? However, her frustration was riding her hard, and she was desperate for a little freedom.Karn snorted loudly and rolled his eyes again. "Your idea of a prison and everyone else's is vastly different, Liliana.""I can deal with my mate without your assistance," Mac interjected, feeling the tenseness of Lily's body in his arms. She was coiled so tightly he was starting to feel concerned. Her agitation couldn't be good for her or the baby. "Honey, we've had this conversation before. You agreed to stay here at the compound.""Not all of the time, Mac," she muttered against his chest. "I want to be able to go visit the pack and see my friends. I need a little freedom." She looked up at him, seeing the stubborn set of his mou

    "Has there been any word from Dara?" Lily's hand absent-mindedly stroked her abdomen as she asked the question, her gaze concerned."She hasn't reported in officially yet, but I heard she called Aaron to ask how to stop a she-wolf going rogue. She didn't explain what was going on but said she would report in soon," her brother answered, the frown marring his brow a clear indicator he was as concerned as she was."It doesn't feel right, Kal," Lily sighed, rising from her bed and pacing across to the window. "Kothi and Dara shouldn't be out there alone in a hostile environment. We should be with them, helping to find Gard and Rayne." Her tone was laced with an irritation she didn't even try to hide in front of her brother. It was pointless, as he knew her far too well.They were in her bedroom at the Praetorian compound. Mac had decided that the recent upheaval of the attack against the pack and Kothari's disappearance was too much stress for Lily to cope with in her current condition,

    Kothari ran, his paws flying over the forest floor as if all the shades of hell were after him. He had to run, had to try to escape the enormity of what had almost just happened. How could he? How could Agony have been so blind, so out of control that he hadn't been aware of what was right in front of him? Agony had to have been aware on some sub-conscious level, as he'd reacted in fury when the vampire had struck her, but that moment had vanished in the midst of his other half's insanity bare moments later, and he had almost killed them all.He'd almost killed her. Not just the strange girl who had come out of nowhere, but her mother too. It was just like...just like all those years ago when he was born...Agony tried to destroy everything that they loved."Stop, Kothari!""Fuck off! I hate you! Leave us alone! You're toxic, Agony. All you can do is lash out and destroy everything we hold dear. We are stronger than you. Together we will excise you forever and you'll never hurt anyone
