I glanced up at Vayl. The wish in both our eyes was so strong I half expected it to leap into life between us, a wooden stake that would fly straight into the Deyrar’s heart. “Oh, I have plenty of reason. But she’s bound Vayl. So unless we can figure out how to release him, it’s not going to happen. I’m sorry, Aine,” I said, in response to the dirgelike turn of the music. “At this point, even if Vayl was free, I believe that if I killed her it would be outright murder.” And I’ve already tried that once. I felt chilled as I remembered that moment. How close I’d come to ending my career. Losing my freedom. Most probably my life. And how none of that would’ve meant anything if Vayl had turned to mist before my eyes.

We felt the door budge behind us and moved aside so Niall could come into the room.

“Rastus is wildly upset that the Weres have escaped. He is afraid Disa will take off his head if he doesn’t recover them before they can cause us terrible trouble. And this is the only reason he has not killed you outright.” He raised an eyebrow at me. “Apparently someone freed the bear, which allowed him to escape in your vehicle. Of course, Rastus thinks that someone was you, since he encountered you outside around that time.”

“No kidding?” I said blandly.

“I reminded him that you were under the protection of the Deyrar’s contract, but that may not stop him if he catches you alone. So I suggest you avoid him at all costs.”

“Understood,” I said.

Niall crossed his arms. “Rastus also says he has detected a pack moving in the area. Knowing my affinity for them, he has asked me to help him track them. He is hoping if he can kill one or two, matters will go better for him when he finally tells Disa what happened. I have agreed to meet him beside the wagon house in ten minutes.” I felt Trayton stiffen beside me. Putting my hand on his shoulder to keep him from blurting out something Niall didn’t need to hear, I said, “Be careful.”

Niall nodded sharply. “Lock up after yourselves,” he said. Moments later he was gone.

“My pack,” Trayton murmured.

“I’m worried about them too,” I said. “War between your people and the vampires would be more devastating than you can imagine right now.”

He nodded. “Especially with me forced to sit on the sidelines and watch.” He took my hand, held it up against his cheek. “You have to go to them. Tell them I’m fine. That you’re bringing me out in the morning and they shouldn’t make a move until then.”

“Will they listen to me?” He opened my hand and licked the inside of my wrist before grinning at me in that way that made me shake my head. “You do get how gross that is, don’t you?”

“It’s just like in kindergarten, Lucille. Or whatever you want to be called. We’re blood brothers.
