Kat turned at the growling tone that was similar to Kessar&039;s voice The demon looked a lot like him, but his hair was darker and his eyes were coal black If that weren&039;t enough to warm her day, there were six more demons behind him Five men and one female

"How cute," the female said as she came around the men to stand in the front "The blood slave has friends"

Before Kat could even blink, the demons vanished only to reappear directly in front of each of them

Except for Sin The leader and two of the male demons surrounded his came out of their backs and they attacked the demons in front of them, but her vision was blocked by the feallu were really an unattractive race The female&039;s eyes were sharp and beady, and her lower jaas distorted by the double row of fangs Curling up with one of the gallu would be like getting close to Stephen Sommers&039;s Mummy after only two kills

Ew

The fes "Hoonderful An Atlantean to eat"

Kat snorted "Hoonderful A bitch to declaw"

The ferabbed her arm, and slammed her into the cavern wall That really had to hurt Good It was alallu turned back to face her Kat kicked her back and slugged her hard She then stabbed the gallu straight in the heart and waited for her to explode

She didn&039;t

"Between the eyes," Sin snarled at her "You can&039;t take theotten that so soon? So ed at the saht between the de sound before she exploded all over Kat

Ugh, gross Give her a Daimon any day over one of these At least Daiusted, Kat shook it off and turned to see Siallu de that

Note to self In the future tell Si not to watch theer even identify, Kat went to help Zakar, as blindly stabbing at the de him like a cat with a stray ball Sin had two of his attackers dead at his feet and orking on the third as she ran across the room

Zakar narrowly hed "That&039;s right, slave Kill your rescuer" The demon came at her, but she twisted in his ar into Zakar as the demon intended, it was the demon who did Zakar slashed the deht Zakar&039;s wrist and pulled the knife from his hand before she used it to finish off the derabbed her fro, she barely caught herself before she struck hiht like a rabbed handfuls of Sin&039;s hair and pulled with all his strength

"Stop it!" Sin shouted in his ear "It&039;s your brother"

"Fuck you, gallu, fuck you!"

Realizing there was nothing else to do, Kat held her hands out and blasted Zakar with a kind, but no less stunning, god-bolt He instantly collapsed into Sin&039;s arratitude in his eyes as he swung his brother up into his aret out of here before reeet out of here"

Siry"

"We&039;ll order Diaet back"

Simi&039;s bloody face lit up iallu" She and Xirena quickly set fire to the demons before Kat and Sin flashed them back to his penthouse

Kat used her powers to conjure a large bag of Diamonique, which she handed over to Si, the deobble up the stones and left Kat alone with Sin and his brother

Thank the gods for Diamonique That should keep the demons occupied for a little while

His face sad and bitter, Sin carried his brother toward the sofa, which unfolded itself to make a queen-sized bed The covers pulled back an instant before he laid Zakar on top of the white sheets

"Is he going to be okay?"

Sin couldn&039;t speak as he looked at the vicious scars on his brother&039;s body What had they done to hi from him for centuries

Sin wanted blood for this Kessar&039;s the gallu&039;s

But most of all, Sin wanted Artemis If not for her, he&039;d have been there to stop this He&039;d have had the power to protect Zakar from their brutality

No, he took that back It wasn&039;t Artemis&039;s fault It was his own and he knew it If only he hadn&039;t wanted acceptance Wanted companionship None of this would have happened It was his oeakness that had wounded his brother There was no one else to blauilt that gnawed at hi him back He started to snap at her, but the intent look on her face kept hiether, she neared Zakar She placed the palainst his eyes as she whispered in Atlantean

A translucent yello spread out frolow moved over Zakar, it knitted his wounds closed and healed the deep scars that er was repaired

Relief and gratitude poured through Sin&039;s body as he watched her heal Zakar

That she would do this without Sin&039;s asking it meant the world to him

When she pulled back, he saw that Zakar&039;s eyes were no longer seared closed His eyelids and lashes lay against his cheeks in perfect repose With the exception of the long, gnarled hair, this was the brother Sin rerateful for what she&039;d done

She inclined her head before she moved away from the bed "They&039;d punctured his eardrums I think that&039;s why he didn&039;t respond when you told hie filled hireed coive Stryker credit At least he has a code of ethics, screwy though it is at ti like this"

"It&039;s e can&039;t let the gallu loose on humanity They are coree But I&039;m not sure Zakar will be able to help us now He looks pretty battered, and there&039;s no telling what&039;s been done to hi spell"

Sin hated to adht Theshape He looked gaunt and weak They&039;d be lucky if Zakar could even stand without help "I wonder how long they&039;ve had him"

"I don&039;t know But by the looks of it, it&039;s been a while" Kat brushed at Sin&039;s hair before she rubbed the slanced down at her, his heart heavy "If he were your brother, hoould you answer?"

She didn&039;t hesitate with her answer "I&039;d be out for blood"

"Then you understandsqueeze to his ar you collect it"

Emotions and tenderness for her choked him at her words At the fact that she&039;d been by his side through all this That she&039;d healed Zakar

In a weird way, it&039;d been like a dreaainst hihed at the taste of Sin She could feel his turmoil even while he held her like she was thein the world to him, and she wished she could ease it He&039;d had a rotten day But even so, he tasted of heaven and s had turned out better for hiallu to deal with and Deimos None of ould rest until Sin was dead

It felt as if the whole world was against theh to take therowled as he pulled away froainst her neck He loved the scent of her skin and breath, the feel of her body against his For once he didn&039;t have to practically double over to kiss a woth a addicted to you"

She laughed "You barely know rin, "but I know parts of you better than anyone ever has"

She blushed at that "You&039;re incorrigible"

"Not true, I&039; most days"

She kissed his cheek before she moved away "I can&039;t believe you&039;re this playful considering what&039;s going on"

He let out a tired breath before he raked his hands through his dark hair "I&039;uilt and doubt that&039;s plaguing "

Kat went immediately to his side to put one hand on his hard stomach and the other on his back She looked at him with a pained expression "Oh, hon, I&039;et naked now?"

He rolled his eyes at her sarcaset it Too"Cock-kill, huh? What an interesting expression you&039;ve developed" She gave him a devilish smile "Perhaps a littleit back?"

He took his earlier cohter She could tor onized look on your face makes it all worth it"

He lifted his hand to touch her hair It was like silk on his skin Rubbing it between his forefinger and thumb, he remembered the feel of her on top of him "I still don&039;t understand you Why you&039;re here withme It doesn&039;tpersonality that draws me to you like a moth to a flame"

Sin snorted "Repellent, you mean"

She arched a brow as if surprised by his words "Is that self-deprecation fro one usually finds in your breed"

He rubbed her cheek with the backs of his fingers, savoring the soft texture of her skin "Neither is a heart or a soul Yet you seem to have both&039;"

Kat shivered at the lender look on his face Warh her at the sensation of his hand on her flesh He was delectable "I keep telling you I&039;od"

"Yeah but you would have been had yourout she was sleeping with your father"

Perhaps, but Kat wasn&039;t into titles or power trips Pantheon politics had worn her down eons ago She truly wanted no part on that She just wanted

Honestly she didn&039;t know She&039;d spenther mother&039;s whims Kat hadn&039;t been born to a world when dreas resulted in sorand disembowelment

It&039;d been her life&039;s ambition to save herself the pain of both Truly, she&039;d never even drea a man at all It see her life blindly, with no thoughts of a future The world, her world, just was Sin had changed that

For the first ti, and that actually scared her, because she kneould never share himself with her that way It wasn&039;t in him to settle down and have a fa to do with her oddess in it, she was still a part of it

Trying to force the issue would only lead to her huod?" she asked, trying to io He didn&039;t seem like he&039;d be any better at their politics than she was

He shrugged "Like all the others, I suppose"

She couldn&039;t believe that "No I don&039;t think you were ever like thelimpse into your life that you never cheated on your wife even though she cheated on you Why is that?"
