I jumped off Ian like he&039;d burned me, even the lure ofto the true sound ofee in the off him made me nervous that the chains wouldn&039;t hold

He closed his eyes and inhaled nearhis features "You s, Kitten, or I&039;ll have to kill hiaze "Me and Ian? Come on, Bones You know better"

His "

"That was the point, wasn&039;t it?" Ian asked, sauntering over "Though I&039;ll admit to mild enjoyment on my part"

Mild enjoyment? My femininity was affronted but the rest ofinto Bones&039;s eyes and feeling overwhel back atsex" Balchezek made a noise of disappointment "Now I am bored"

Bones glanced at the de I woke up theafter Wraith appeared and suddenly I was a spectator inpeople like vauard is down," Balchezek offered "Otherwise, she&039;d need to shed buckets of your blood to weaken you enough to force her way inside A lot messier that way"

Buckets of blood I flashed back to Annette&039;s hotel rooht of Bones&039;s birthday party So she&039;d been the first one possessed Wraith had been her attacker, but she hadn&039;t accused hi that had come out of Annette&039;sher

The saht about hi the des I need to say, Kitten," Bones stated, directing ether the possession chain "I don&039;t kno long I&039;ll be able to hold the de"

"She&039;s still in there?" The realist in e had miraculously booted her out

"Yes," he replied shortly

"Of course she is" Balchezek shook his head "You think I was lying to you?"

I didn&039;t point out that he was a demon, so lies ith the territory He was our best source of infor in a huff

"You&039;ll need to recordmy disownment of you and your reinstate across his features before he went on "I&039;ll also expose Mencheres, Kira, Spade, Annette, and Wraith as being possessed Once I&039;ve done that, give me a silver knife No one will doubtto die for theh me

Bones closed his eyes briefly "I&039;m sorry it&039;s come to this, but I&039;ve no illusions about what must be done Believe ain watch as my own hands smash into you because sorabbed his hair less roughly than I had Ian&039;s a few minutes before "But you stopped her when she put that knife inyourself and Mencheres as possessed will result in civil ithin your line," Ian warned "Not toall your enemies to attack when you&039;re weakened It will cause a bloodbath, Crispin"

"Ian&039;s right, listen to him," I said, too concerned about Bones to be shocked at those words coht not be able to stop her next time she attempts to kill you, and I refuse to risk it," he snapped "Even now she&039;s ripping at o when Mencheres challenged you over whether you could kill me if your situations were reversed, you swore that if I murdered those close to you and wouldn&039;t stop, you would do it The demon in me will kill everyone in her way, and you cannot allow that The only way to stop her is to kill h me so loudly that it took a second to realize soht be another way, but it&039;ll cost you," Balchezek finished

My gaze swung to the walnut-haired demon "What? What other way?" If he said it would cost ht do it

Bones closed his eyes, wincing a little "She&039;s getting very restless Just as I are of everything when she had control, so she is listening now Best not to discuss this in front of ," Balchezekor what?" over his shoulder

I looked at Bones and gave an apologetic shrug "We&039;ll be right back"
