Ian&039;s brows shot up I repeatedthis course of action but agreeing that it was necessary

"We need to cut soainst Wraith"

"Oh, I heard you the first time" Ian&039;show much your husband will beat my arse when he&039;s back to himself and hears about this"

"Believe me, I won&039;t tell hiris We&039;ll carve two knives, and you&039;ll take one while I&039;ll take the other, because I&039; back to Spade"

"You can&039;t If Wraith finds out you&039;re like him, he&039;ll kill you on the spot!" I snapped

"Better if we find a way to lure the others away frowhat happened when I killed the de he&039;d done tohis spell first, we risk everyone staying exactly as they are for the rest of their lives"

The truth of that rolled over etting Wraith away frouards so we could stab his eyes out, but e&039;d need to do instead roan "We have to find the demon that branded him, and hope to God he wants his power back"

Ian snorted "Poor analogy, Reaper"

Whatever I&039;d hope to hell if that would improve our odds, but the fact remained that only the demon could remove the effects of the brands Without those, Wraith would be a regular va from that demon, he&039;d soon be a dead vainable and let him live, I wouldn&039;t

"I can&039;t chase after the de their kind is pretty intolerant of that But you two can, and in the meantime, I&039;ll keep an eye on Wraith If he tries to hurt anyone, I&039;ll have that knife, but I&039;ll only use it as a last resort"

I hated this plan It left everyone I loved at the mercy of a man who&039;d used a demonic spell to steal their free will for reasons unknown, but they couldn&039;t be altruistic reasons It would be a race to see as successful first: Wraith in i the de other abilities I shuddered, but Denise was right If Bones-the real Bones!-were here now, he&039;d tell me he would rather be dead thanthe others as I did, they&039;d say the same, too

Winner really would take all in this race

"Then it&039;s settled," Ian said "On to the next task at hand"
