"Milady, please... Help me. I didn't betray you." Elfy grumbled under his breath. "You took my amulet," Lily replied. Stupid elf, he had her amulet, the reason she hadn’t sensed the bastard when she’d first approached the cabin. "Milady," he rasped, struggling against the heavy chains that held him. "Surprise, Elfy? I told you I'd find you and that you couldn't get away from me. Reaching out, Lily ripped the amulet from the leather thong around Elfy’s neck and tucked it into her pocket. Immediately, the cabin was filled with the overpowering smell of elves, while her scent disappeared. "Go now! Milady, save yourself." “And leave you behind again and let you sell my head to my enemy?" "No, Madam. They will kill you." Elfy shook his head. Wasn’t that convenient? Her smile widened with wicked pleasure. "Of course, at the time, I didn’t expect Francisco to be so rude as to steal my pet and hide him from me. I hope they didn’t break you, Elfy. I thought I could trust you." Sweat bl

The sun was painting the horizon with its last fading rays when Lily struggled to shake the painful cobwebs out of her head. Freaking hell. She felt as if she’d been hit by a cement truck. At last, ignoring the bursts of agony in the back of her head, she forced open her reluctant eyes. Well, sh*t. She should have kept them closed.Not that pretending this was all a horrible nightmare would change the fact that she was currently tied to a tree with chains that held enough silver to sap her strength and leave raw burns on her skin. Or that she’d been moved from the cabin to one of the small islands covered in trees and underbrush that dotted the middle of the river. Still fuzzy, Lily watched as Francisco stepped out of the canvas tent stuck in the center of the small clearing.She swallowed her instinctive growl. Damn the bastard. It was bad enough he’d given her a headache from hell and tied her to a tree like some sort of animal, but she’d been in la-la land the entire afternoon. She

Lily frowned at the thought of that weird rip in a magical spell that Stephen would conjure and open a magic connection in someone’s head. It felt surreal and otherworldly. "The little demon can do that, I know, but..." she halted, "Why not use a fucking phone? It's way easier and less weird."Francisco scoffed, "And risk the humans finding out about our kind? Hell no. Those FBI agents have high-tech things. I don't want to be a lab rat."Lily raised her brows.Francisco regarded her with a hint of surprise as if startled she could be so clueless."Stephen is not going to open a physical portal. More like a wireless connection. You know... modern type but with the use of his demon magic. They have this sort of connection. Master and pet connections. Which means it can’t be overheard or traced even by magical means."Lily nodded and absently lifted her hand to stroke the amulet hung around her neck. "No one will know about this call except the three of us and Dimitri.""Paranoid much?"

"Hell…" Lily grumbled to herself.Friendly fire wasn’t just a human danger. If she were accidentally injured, the foolish alpha would hold himself responsible forever. So, ignoring the desperate urge to rush up the stairs and make certain Rhye didn’t allow his blind rage to get himself killed by the demon guards and feral werewolves she’d slipped past only a short time ago, Lily hovered near the bottom of the stairs, clutching the dagger and hating the feeling of helplessness. Thank the gods that the marks from Francisco’s damned silver chains had already healed. At the time, she had been infuriated that it had taken so long for Stephen to convince Dimitri to meet with the stupid Francisco and talk about his truce. She might sympathize with the council leader's reluctance to strike a bargain with an out-and-out traitor, demon Francisco, but Lily's only concern was being released so she could get to Rhye.And of course, there had been many wasted minutes as she’d argued with Stephen.

Jasmine was beyond pissed off. Nothing odd. Being pissed off has been a continual state of mind lately. No...Not lately. She could point out the exact time her life had taken off into the shitter. The moment Livia-freaking-witch arrived in the area. Damn the bitch. Damn Francisco... How could he betray her? He would pay, of course. If she hadn't pretended to be dead and cast a spell to stop her heartbeat, she might as well be living under six feet of the earth by now. Yet, she didn't anticipate his betrayal. Bastard. Damn it. She thought. This was all Livia’s fault. She was the one who had called the revenge of the demons down on her feral army. Her blood made Francisco deceive her. Livia was the one who had brought Alpha Stefan, creeping around where he didn’t belong. Now, his warrior was on her trail. The witch would pay. She brought nothing but chaos. She was even accountable for that damned traitor who was proving to be such a pain in the ass. And yet, Jasmine knew she would b
