When silence fell over the crowd, Carrow glanced up froht with Sabine I away froht, I&039; the rain! "Rydstrom, damn you, just trace me to the island!"

"Rydstro a cheap shot to Carrow&039;s kidney Even with her exceptional powers bound, Sabine was still a fierce scrapper But Carroas fighting for theto Carrow&039;s kidney "Bitch," she hissed, driving her elbow into Sabine&039;s torso Lucky break - Carrow had nailed her solar plexus!

Sabine gasped, robbed of breath Carrow took the opportunity to dive for her sword and spring up behind her, placing it at her neck "The blood of a Wendigo coats this sword"

Rydstro black "Justjust calm yourself, witch" He held up his hands as he eased closer "Think about what you&039;re doing You&039;d sacrifice our alliance?"

"Don&039;t you people get it? I&039;ll sacrifice anything!" Carrow cried "Rydstroht now?"

"There is nothing," he rasped, "nothing I wouldn&039;t do to get her back I will trace you"

In a weird tone, Mari said, "So this Malko?"

"He&039;s Malko he is if I don&039;t get to that goddaos!"

Without warning, Carrow felt a jolt of unfettered joy, just as she heard a male say, " &039;Husband&039;?"

Over her shoulder, Carrow glared "Yeah, that&039;s what I - " It was Malko froht, her heart went to her throat "How did youwho brought you?"

"I brought myself, witch," he said, his voice hoarse

Carroas about to run to hi sorceress she had at sword point "I&039;m sorry for this, Sabine But he&039;s my male, and you&039;d do the sa the sword away "Truce Or I won&039;t help you find your sister"

Sabine whirled around, her lips thinned "I de?" Carrow scoffed "You&039;d annihilate reater than Sabine&039;s poas her vanity She sth, she said, "Truce"

With that, Carrow ran for Malkohtly

Holding his face, she rained kisses on his forehead, his cheeks, his lips "Did you get scratched or bitten? Because I&039;ll keep you locked up until I can find a cure - "

"I am unscathed I traced away from them"

"Ho did you find ured out how to trace and followed your memories I told you I&039;d come for you And for Ruby" He surveyed the rooht upstairs, waiting foryou back," Carrow said dryly "You have just arrived at athem to return me to the island"

"Youyou called me husband In front of all" His blue eyes darkened

Oh, how badly this demon wanted to believe in her "Because you are And you alill be" She stood on her toes, cupping his face "I was out of et back to you"

Another wave of that joy hit her "I will not doubt you again, ara"

"I won&039;t give you reason to But I warn you - I&039;ht from now on" When the corners of his lips curled at that, she said, "I love you" Then she showed hi her mouth to his for a desperate, breathless kiss

Yet then he tensed, drawing her away Like a shot, he tossed her behind him

A vampire had appeared Nikolai Wroth - one of Conrad Wroth&039;s brothers and husband to Myst the Coveted

Without warning, Malko for Nikolai

"Malko varound with a force and speed few had ever witnessed

Garreth MacRieve said, "Bluidy hell, what is he?"

Rydstrom said one word: "Vemon"

"Here?" Garreth bellowed "And near ht behind him

"No, he&039;s with s and claws baredtheotten his bearings to begin whaling on Malkoed yet When Malkom clocked Garreth in the face, the Lykaeback into the fray,to his olf state

Three different species, ganging up on her o!" No response "He won&039;t hurt any of you"

Malkom chose that moment to raise his brows in disbelief Won&039;t I? Then he slashed out with his claws Gods, he was strong Murmurs sounded, incredulous whispers

Lucia the Huntress said, "Witch, do you not understand what he is?" The Valkyrie drew her bow on him "I&039;ve faced his kind before And barely escaped with my life"

Sabine said, "Even if I wanted to break this up, my powers are bound Do let boys be boys"

Myst had drawn a sword, striding forward to end this

Carrow turned to a wide-eyed Mariketa "He&039;s my husband, Glitch Please help me"

"You&039;re sure about aa vemon?"

"Never been ot to catch up tonight, &039;kay?" With a wave of her hand, she flung the fourthe "thank you" over her shoulder, Carrow hurried to where Malkom was already on his feet for more "Malkom, wait! I told you these are my allies"

"You ally with vampires"

"The red-eyed one from earlier was sent to save me," she said "You just ambushed his brother, Nikolai"

"A leech risked his life to save yours?"

"Yes He&039;s a staunch ally"
