LOGINIt wasn’t much of a fight because Asher didn’t retaliate. He only stared Silas down like he wasn’t even worth the hassle. “What the fuck do you want with my wife, asshole?” There was a large hole in the wall now. Kerry was already calculating just how much it would cost to fix it. Asher rolled his
“Patience,” Alaric said. Asher was about to say something, but a pained cry tore through the room. It had begun. Whatever pain Silas was feeling, it was so intense that he arched violently off the bed, as though invisible hands had yanked him upward. His fingers curled in on themselves, nails biti
They decided that since Silas wasn’t going to just admit that he was possessed, they would perform some sort of exorcism on him. Kerry would laugh at the whole thing if that wasn’t basically her husband being dragged into some underground dungeon. Silas watched the whole thing happen with a look of
At this point, Silas was helpless. Kerry had no choice but to believe Asher, even though she really didn’t want to. This wasn’t her husband—she knew this. She knew Silas like the back of her own palm, and this just wasn’t him. She tried to get off him, but the vampire hissed in protest. His eyes we

A kiss. That was all it took to soften her. Liz didn’t understand how something so simple could leave her feeling unsteady long after it ended. Damien’s touch lingered in her thoughts. He left warmth on her skin with every contact. Ironically, Damien was cold to touch. Vampire and warmth didn’t eve
“Hey, Mom.” “Hi, baby.” It felt good to finally see her little girl again—though Via was in no way little anymore. She seemed happier in some way, and that relieved Kerry of some of her worries. Some. Asher had come in after her daughter, looking exactly the way she remembered. He gave her a smile
“Is something funny?” Liz didn’t even try to hide her annoyance. “Oh, baby.” Gwen gestured for her to come over. “I was making you some breakfast.” It seemed like it. There were some eggs and toast arranged dutifully on a plate. But Liz was more triggered by the fact that Edmund had come out of hi
Damien wasn’t any better. He was always working. Always gone. Liz didn’t even know what that work entailed. Meetings, banquets, councils—things he never explained in detail. And when he was around, he did spend time with her. He kissed her, touched her, reassured her in that calm, maddening way of
