Semua Bab My Arch Nemesis in my Bed: Bab 171 - Bab 180

I was sitting in the SUV about fifty yards from the warehouse trying not to completely my mind.The whole glamour thing had been their plan from the start. The spell would make Luca look exactly like me, sound like me, even smell like me to anyone. It would hold for about an hour, less if he shifted or got injured badly enough.“It’s the only way,” he said. “Jonathan wants you specifically. If he thinks he has you, he won’t look for you.”And I’d agreed because what else was I supposed to do, but now I was sitting here listening to sounds of crash and these awful shrieks that made my skin crawl from inside the building and I was starting to think I’d made a terrible mistake.My chest ached. A kind of deep pressure right behind my ribs that got worse with every passing second and I knew it was the mate bond trying to tell me something is wrong.“He’ll be fine,” I whispered but my voice shook and I didn’t believe it.Jessica’s hands were glowing this faint green color on the steering

The word came out strangled and shocked and almost funny except nothing about this situation was funny, and when the old vampire’s eyes landed on Jonathan the younger vampire actually stumbled backward like he’d been hit.King Corvus didn’t say anything for a long moment and the silence stretched out until Lily wanted to scream just to break it, but her throat was still raw from whatever she’d done earlier and she didn’t think she could make a sound if she tried.“Jonathan,” Corvus finally said, and his voice was quiet. “What is the meaning of this?”Jonathan straightened up and tried to pull himself together, tried to look in control even though there was still black blood on his face. “Father, I can explain, this is for you, for us, I’m getting the hybrid’s blood like you wanted and—”Corvus raised one skeletal hand and Jonathan’s words just stopped like someone had hit the mute button, and his hands flew to his throat and his eyes went wide and terrified as he clawed at his own nec

The car went very quiet.Then Cain said “Okay then” and the speedometer needle crept past ninety-five.There was a beat of silence and then Naomi spoke up from the back, her voice quiet and a little shaky. “Her bite looks wrong”.Everyone turned to look at her and she was touching her own neck where Jonathan had bitten her, the two little scar msrks barely visible now.“When Jonathan bit me it was just two holes and it hurt like hell but it looked normal. Like a bad hickey or something.” Naomi’s hand moved to point at Lily. “But hers doesn’t look like that. The skin around it is turning gray and it’s hard, like scar tissue but worse, and those black lines—I didn’t get black lines.”Luca looked back down and Naomi was right. The wound itself was changing, the edges turning this weird silver-gray color and the flesh around it hardening.Lily convulsed and her eyes flew open but they’d rolled all the way back in her head showing nothing but.“Okay I think I remember that’s new,” Riley sa

The second Luca’s fangs broke through skin, Lily’s entire body went rigid.For a heartbeat nothing happened and Luca thought maybe this was it but then her eyes snapped open and they were completely wild, her pupils were blown so wide there was barely any color left.Her back arched off the bed so violently that Luca heard the crack of her spine, and a scream tore out of her throat.It was this high-pitched keening wail that made his ears ring and his wolf recoil, and then every single window in the room exploded.Glass flew inward in a glittering spray and Luca threw his arm up to shield his face, shards slice through his skin. Lily was still screaming, her hands clawing at the sheets hard enough to shred them.He tried to pull back, tried to release her neck and get some distance.But his body has other plans, his wolf surged forward without permission and Luca felt his bones start to break and reform.The shift took seconds but it felt like hours, and when it was done he was in hi

The pressure on his wrist lessened and Luca forced his eyes open even though his eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds each.Her eyes were flickering rapidly now, black to violet-gold and back again like two people fighting for control of the same body, and each seemed to last a little longer.Black. Gold-violet. Black. Gold-violet holding for two seconds. Black. Gold-violet holding for three.Then the gold-violet stayed and her pupils contracted, Luca saw the exact moment consciousness returned to her eyes.“Luca?” His name came out quiet and confused and entirely her, the relief that flooded through him was so strong it almost knocked him over. “What—what happened? Why are you—oh god, there’s so much blood—”Her eyes dropped to his wrist still caught in her grip, to her mouth stained with his blood, to the wounds on his shoulder and palm, and her face went through different emotions in two seconds before landing on absolute horror.“Oh god.” Her voice broke completely. “
