There was a rustle in the undergrowth as Levet sidled to stand at his side

"Tane, do you truly think it wise to taunt the Sylveraze dipped to the tiny gargoyle, his lips pulling into a man?" He shifted his attention back to Tane "Pathetic even for a leech"

"Hey!" Levet protested

Tane, on the other hand, couldn’t argue

It really was pathetic

Instead he narrowed his gaze "Wingman? You don’t speak like a fairy who has been banished from this world for centuries"

"I’ll admit my cable service was shitty in hell, but…"

"No," Tane growled "You’re lying"

"Probably I’m evil, after all," the fey taunted "It’s e do"

"I don’t need an owner’s manual for evil" The fey’s smile widened "No, I don’t suppose you do, vampire"

Tane paused Did the bastard have a sense of hu off alarnore

"Who are you?"

"Isn’t it enough to know I’ to kill you?"

Tane lifted a brow "Are you scared to give me your name or embarrassed?"

There was a ed

"Ariyal," he revealed, his gaze flicking dise of rogue vampires around the world Now that we have the introductions out of the way, tell me where the child is"

Tane’s question was answered

A death wish

Now that was cleared up, he wanted to kno the fey had discovered he was a Charon

"Where have you been hiding?"

"Oui?"

"Can you hide our scents long enough for us to escape?"

"I thought you would never ask," the gargoyle muttered He waved a hand toward the Sylverlanced toward Levet, s to enjoy grinding you into dust" "He’s co with us," Tane rave;tement fou?"

Was he co with a speed not even a fey on steroids could track, Tane halted directly before Ariyal, knocking the crossbow out ofhis hand

"Arrogant bast …"

The fey’s furious words were brought to a sharp end as Tane’s fist connected with his chin

There was a satisfying crunch as Tane felt the man’s jaw shatter beneath the i the fey’s li hioyle

"Let’s go"

It all started out so well

Laylah entered thethe child

It had taken adizziness that always plagued her after a shift into the corridor betorlds, and another few o anywhere

She could disappear with her child and never be found

But even as the thought fluttered through her ant lair

For years she’d believed that she’d ed to disappear, but she wasn’t nearly so clever as she’d thought The Commission had always known about her, and God only kneho else

Besides, the only truethe baby safe was to kill off those who hunted him Bloodthirsty, but true

And the va herself that her decision had nothing to do with Tane when she felt an archway for in the mists

On instant alert, she clutched the baby tightly in her ar at a rapid rate
