Chapter 9

“How could you?” Liam’s voice hissed harsh against her ear.

“How could I—what do you even mean?” She spun around to glare at him.

“You knew we needed Petra to make this spell work. You knew. How could you just let her go?”

“I didn’t just let her go!” Kallie retorted, stung. “I didn’t.”

“You were hardly fighting to keep her,” James said smoothly. He raised an eyebrow when Kallie’s head jerked around, and lifted his shoulders. “Were you?”

“We were arguing,” Kallie reminded him. Her blood settled into a slow pound of anger. “You remember that, right?”

“Yes. You wanted me to let Petra go.”

“Kallie, you wanted to let her go?” Liam’s eyes were wide.

“No!” Kallie shook her head. “No! I didn’t!”

James said nothing, but the lazy turn of his head and his nonchalance practically breathed mistrust. Kallie swayed with the urge to bare her teeth at him, hiss, make him own up to the lies. They were lies, tiny little lies that made her seem like an accomplice, and Liam had to see that they weren’t true. He had to.

She took a deep breath and tried to steady herself. Every time she got angry, James could twist her words more easily. If she could just slow down and explain this, Liam would see the truth.

“Liam. Listen to me.” She met his eyes, reaching out to take one of his hands. James snorted softly, but she could not let herself be baited by him. “What James told me was that I needed to bring Petra here to do the spell. Then he told me I had to stab her in the back when she wasn’t looking.”

“I know.” Liam shook his head.

“You knew?” Kallie felt coldness spread from her heart. “Wait. You knew that he wanted to sacrifice her?”

“We’ve been preparing the spell, drawing all the diagrams.” Liam shook his head. “Eve is sacrificing herself.” His chin jutted out stubbornly. “It’s not like we were asking anything of the Reds that we weren’t willing to give ourselves.”

“Okay, first of all? ‘The Reds’ are some of my family, and the people I am trying to make into your damned allies.”

“I thought you said you weren’t demanding that we trust them,” James said silkily. “That we didn’t have to be allies. You just said we wouldn’t need to be at war anymore.”

“What’s the goal of ending a war?” Kallie demanded. When he said nothing, she almost spat the word at him: “Peace! That’s what I wanted. And maybe—”

“It’s what we all want,” James said insincerely. “And that’s why we were willing to sacrifice one of our own for this spell.”

“See, Kallie?” Liam looked so hopeful that for a moment she wanted to smack him. He was years younger than James, but old enough and seasoned enough in fighting vampires to know better than to be taken in by this. Liam wanted it all to be the same. To be fair. And he was going to wind up dooming all of them if he wasn’t careful.

Kallie gritted her teeth.
