He forced himself to the surface of the vampire, shoving the bloodsucker’s soul back. Lifting his hands from Alex’s neck he rolled to a crouch, breathing hard. “Easy, Alex. Easy.”
“Boss?”
“For the moment.”
Slowly, he lifted his eyes to Rylee’s. Damn, she was as beautiful as ever and he itched to touch her. But he saw the hesitance in her stance, the desire and the fear warring within her. Faris and his games were messing with all three of them.
“Liam, you have to go. If you stay with Faris, you’ll be trapped in his body. For as long as he’s alive.” Rylee held a hand out to him, then slowly let it drop when he didn’t reach back for her. Gods, how he wanted to, though.
Inside his head, Faris raged. Let me the fuck out, wolf!
He pushed the vamp even further back. “I don’t know how to go, Rylee. Would you really not want me here?” He knew he’d made mistakes, knew he’d gone about things the wrong way, and cursed himself every moment for it. But he couldn’t believe she was so angry with him that she wouldn’t want him close.
“If I have to share this body with the vampire until the ends of time, to stay by your side until you don’t need me anymore, then that is what I will do.”
Her eyes filled with tears and he couldn’t stop himself. He stood and pulled her into his arms, breathing in everything she was. Her strength, her love, her fear, her courage. “You can do this, Rylee. You don’t need me. I’m not as strong as you. I can’t let you go, even though I made the choice.” He brushed her hair back and smiled down at her.
Her eyes swirled with her thoughts and he knew what she was thinking. After all, he’d been there when Faris had bit her. “Don’t worry about it. In the end, it will work out. And if it’s not okay, it isn’t the end. Trust me.” He kissed her forehead and stepped back before Faris took control again. He didn’t want the vampire to realize he could break through. Better for him to think Liam was stronger.
Far better than the truth: that if Faris really wanted Liam out, then there would be no fight. Liam would have to go and Rylee would be without him.
