Chapter 13
âShe actually took control of his corpse?â Shaw asks, his words distant as they seep into my barely conscious mind.
Iâm vaguely aware of something stroking my face. Something soft, warm and wet. When I hear water sloshing, I know heâs washing my face, running a cloth delicately around my nose and mouth.
âShe did, yeah,â Archie replies. âThe guy was headless and stumbling about, but she got him to do what she wanted. Snapped a manâs neck. I was impressed. She was completely freaked out, watching it with complete horror and screaming, but it was fucking impressive to watch. I donât think she even intended to make it happen.â
âAnd she did more blood boiling?â Dorian asks.
âYep.â
âSheâs strong,â Dorian says. âStronger than she should be, considering sheâs only just done the Rite and found that Kindred. Shaw⦠she should be in the cells.â
âAs soon as sheâs conscious, sheâll need blood,â Shaw says, thankfully ignoring him. âHer throat is swollen from where she was strangled. Hopefully, sheâll be able to swallow. Without our blood, these injuries will take weeks to heal.â
âThe cells,â Dorian continues. âSheâs too powerful to be left unsupervised. And she tapped into Archieâs blood for magic. She could have killed him.â
âShe only did it to save my life, Dorian,â Archie argues. âIâd be dead if it werenât for her coming back for me. And she didnât have to. I told her to run.â
âThen sheâs manipulative as well as powerful,â Dorian retorts. âShe knows she canât run away from us, so she wants to win us over. Wouldnât surprise me if she organised for those men to attack in the first place.â
Prick!
âI donât think so, Dorian,â Archie scoffs. âLook at the state of her. An arrow in the side. A broken face. A swollen throat.â
âShe used your blood for magic!â Dorian argues. âNow she knows she can, whatâs to stop her doing it again?â
âShe can only use it in my wolf form. Not human form. And I let her use it because the alternative was extremely irreversible death, Dorian.â
âSheâs got a taste for our blood. Sheâll never be able to resist. They never could, which is fine. Itâs expected. But I donâtâ¦â He grunts in frustration. âI donât want you getting attached to her.â
âSheâs not like the others were. Sheâs⦠different.â
âYou let her fuck you. And now youâre pussy whipped by yet another blood bitch. Just as you were before, and do you remember how that worked out for you?â
âI think youâll find I fucked her. Not the other way around,â Archie bites back, anger piercing his words. Unusual for him. âAnd fuck you for bringing up that bitch to me. Iâm not the only one with a history of manipulative blood bitches, Dorian. At least I donât have an army of shadows haunting me because of my mistakes.â
Dorian shifts. I hear Archie move too.
âIf you two are going to fight, take it outside,â Shaw states firmly. âShe saved Archieâs life, risking hers in the process. Iâm not locking her up for that, Dorian.
