Chapter Six

Alyson’s hand shook loose from his. Her legs wobbled as she tried to keep them together and she felt the need to sit a little more sideways because her ass ached a bit. “Holy—fucking—shit. Damn, that was, oh my God…did you go back?”

“Of course I did. I told her I would.”

“What happened? Tell me. This is incredible.” Alyson was excited and a little too eager.

“I’m not telling you things to get others in trouble or to reveal their needs. Pam is a woman who needed release. She lives in a world where any kind of weakness is taken as just that—weakness. She has to be strong and in control of herself.”

His mood shifted. He was obviously upset and a little angry for lowering his guard to show Alyson something she could use to hurt someone. “Give me your word that what I just showed you will never leave this room.”

Alyson paused. She knew she would never forget what she’d seen and could always pull this card if needed, so why not? “I promise. Nothing more about Pam. You have my word.” Her crossed fingers lay hidden beside her.

“I see your fingers crossed, Alyson. You can’t lie. Your word is your bond. A person’s word of truth is all they have that can’t be taken away.” He stopped. “Swear to me that what I’ve told you about these women is safe.”

With a heavy breath she answered, “I swear.”

“Thank you.” He looked away for a moment and ran his fingers through his thick hair.

“There’s something I’m missing here.” Alyson frowned. “Before, you talked about how things were. Women summoned you, you took them and you left. No ties. Now you talk about release and there seems to be more, something deeper, like emotions involved. What happened?”

He stood and walked to the window. There was silence as he stood again at the window, staring into the darkness. She watched him closely. There was definitely something eating at him. She could sense his frustration, almost as if he needed to tell her something.

He turned from the window and looked at her. “I broke a sacred law. Now I see things differently.”

“A sacred law? Like what? The Ten Commandments?”

“Something like that. Everybody has rules they abide by. We can’t exist by fucking people over all the time. That would be chaos. So we set boundaries and laws. When these laws are broken, we pay the penalty. Just because I’m not human in the way you understand, doesn’t mean I don’t have such laws to govern my actions. There are some things for which any type of being must be held accountable.”

“So what did you do?”

“I broke the most sacred of all laws.”

She thought for a moment. “Did you kill someone?”

He turned his head away and toward the darkness outside and Alyson knew she hit the right point. “Oh my God, you did kill someone, didn’t you?”

“No.” He shook his head. “But because of my actions two people died. Regardless of what happened, it’s not for me to decide who lives or dies.
