Two rabbed V&039;s shoulder when the Brother stopped CPR "You can&039;t give up!"

"I&039;h the skin of her wrist "Over his mouth Now"

Marissa rushed to Butch&039;s head, pushed his lips and teeth apart and put the slice right to him as Vishous resu that Butch would start to drink, hoping that so

But, no he was dead Butch was dead Butch was dead¡ª

So that noise

Vishous paused and felt Butch&039;s neck Then fu the disk dohen Marissa thought she saw Butch&039;s chest move Or ot soot so¡ª"

Butch&039;s ribs expanded as he sucked a breath in through his nose Then his ainst her wrist

She repositioned her arm so the wound fit better over his lips "Butch?"

His chest inflatedoff her vein as he drew air down into his lungs There was a pause and then another breath Deeper still

"Butch? Can you¡ª"

Butch&039;s eyes popped open And she went cold to the core

Thein it Just blank hunger

With a roar, he grabbed her arasped And there was no escape as he latched on with hison the table, he savaged her wrist, his eyes fixated, anireat yanks

Through the pain, she felt total, abject fear

Tell ht Tellbefore she beca too ent

Before she could respond, she beca scent Wrath&039;s Except ould he feel the need to establish histerritory here and now?

She swayed and Vishous&039;s hard fingers grabbed her upper arm "Marissa, you&039;re done"

But Butch was starving, er "No! No¡ª"

"Let me take over"

Marissa&039;s eyes shot to Beth then focused on Wrath Standing at his shellan&039;s side, Wrath&039;s face was set in violent lines, his body coiled as if he were about to fight so

"Marissa? Will you let me feed him?" Beth said

Marissa looked at the queen God, those words, those same words that had been spoken back in July when Wrath&039;s body had balanced on the edge of life and Marissa&039;s vein had been as needed

"Will you, Marissa?"

As she nodded her head nus that had elongated into white knives

Oh, Lord, this was a very dangerous situation Fully bonded ht to the death before they let another

Beth looked up at her hellren Before she said anything, Wrath bit out, "V, get your ass over here and hold , he wished Rhage ith him

Shit this was a bad idea A pure-blooded, bonded male vampire about to watch his shellan feed soested Beth come down, V had assumed it was for ceremonial purposes, not so she could be a vein But as the choice? Butch was going to suck Marissa dry and not have enough and there wasn&039;t another female in the house who could do the job: Mary was still hu with Rhage or Z would be any easier? For the beast, they&039;d need a tranq gun the size of a cannon and Z well, shit

Beth reached up and stroked her hellren&039;s face "Maybe you shouldn&039;t watch"

Wrath grabbed her by the throat and kissed her hard Then he brought up her wrist and scored her flesh, opening her vein

"Go to hiainst the wall "Vishous, you better fucking hold ly"

Wrath&039;s aweso, hisout in a sweat Froht so fierce you could see it plainly

V hurled hi resistance Dear God, this was going to be like holding back a bull

"Why don&039;t you leave?" V grunted as he worked to keep Wrath&039;s body in place

"Would have to get past theet to the door No way"

V twisted his head and looked at the table

Man, Marissa was going to be on the floor if she didn&039;t get free of Butch And the cop was going to fight like hell if that source of blood left his led "Pinch the cop&039;s nostrils Pinch them hard and hold his forehead down That&039;s the only way you&039;ll get hirabbed Butch&039;s nose, the copAnd his body jackknifed on the table like he was prepared to fight whoever was going to take his food away

Oh, Christ, please don&039;t let hiht Wrath was so lit he was liable to break free and kill the guy Please¡ª

The females handled it beautifully Marissa yanked her wrist away and nailed Butch in the shoulders, punching into hiht her wrist to his mouth As that fresh vein came to him, Butch took to the new blood like a babe and moaned at the taste

Which naturally caused Wrath to go apeshit

The king&039;s body lurched toward the table, Vishous getting dragged along

"Marissa!" V shifted his grip so he was around Wrath&039;s waist like a sash "I need help over here!"

She looked over at Wrath and she was good¡ªdaood

She undoubtedly wanted to be by Butch&039;s side Instead, she flashed over and rale that was about to unravel The king stumbled back under the force of impact and V repositioned hiht where they needed to be, one up Wrath&039;s back and locked on his neck, one around the waist For kicks and giggles, V wrapped a leg through Wrath&039;s thighs so if the ain he would trip first

As if on cue, Marissa did the sa an arm up the front of his chest

Oh shit She was bleeding hard from that wrist of hers

"Marissa move your ar "Marissa"
