Utah forced himself to watch, even when he wanted to close his eyes against the horror. The bitch had at least left him that option.

His beast screamed its rage, trapped two times over. It couldn’t escape its cave, and he couldn’t escape whatever mental shit Seven had thrown at him.

He refused to ever again call her anything but Seven in his mind. The name Christine humanized her, and he never wanted to make the mistake of thinking she had any human qualities.

He’d met Lia’s gaze right before Jude sank his fangs into her neck. In that one moment, he hoped she saw everything in his eyes. The question. Why had she helped Seven bind him? He could have at least tried to stop this. She didn’t want you to stop it, dumbass. This is what she wanted.

Utah had no way of expressing his sorrow and fury, no way of doing anything except choke back all emotion. Once again, he was in that restaurant in Philly, crouching over his brother’s body, knowing he’d failed to save him. He was batting zero when it came to saving the ones he . . . What? Loved? No, he didn’t love Lia. But he sure as hell cared a lot about what was happening to her right now. And someone would pay for this.

“The transformation is a beautiful thing. Lia will emerge a magnificent butterfly.” Seven sounded almost awed. All her people murmured their agreement. They sounded hungry.

A butterfly with fangs. Utah didn’t see anything beautiful about that.

And then he poured himself into Lia’s dying. He heard her heartbeat slow and then falter. His heart pumped harder as though he could compensate for hers. Instinctively, he took deeper and deeper breaths to help her live. Please live.

But his will alone couldn’t keep her alive. And when her heart took one weak final beat before falling still, he silently raged against his helplessness. Where was Fin? Where were his brother and the rest of the Eleven? Where was the almighty fae prince? What good was all their power if it couldn’t save one small human woman?

Utah finally closed his eyes. He didn’t want to watch how Jude intended to force his blood down her throat. He hadn’t loved her. Then why did this hurt so much? He swallowed hard. She wasn’t the same woman anymore. She was vampire. Knowing that, he’d stop caring pretty fast.

The only way he knew it was finally over was when Seven released him. Too late, too late. It was a mantra that could only be silenced by Seven’s death. Problem. She couldn’t die, so he’d have to be satisfied by something less but just as permanent.

“Open your eyes, my beautiful raptor. Jude has taken her to her resting place. You’re such a silly child. You should be celebrating her change.” She laughed at him.

Hate blossomed in him. He kept his gaze averted as he opened his eyes. If he looked into her eyes, Utah wouldn’t be able to control his need to tear her apart.
