Kahli&039;s h her mind Was Will serious? Did he reallywide-eyed, she blinked at him for a moment and when he didn&039;t elaborate, Kahli asked, "Kill the king and queen? Are you insane?"

Will didn&039;t even glance at her, or answer right away It was as though he actually considered her question He seemed off-kilter since the crash - more than he should have been - but she wasn&039;t sure why Continuing to stare at the cave ceiling with a vacant look in his eye, Will threaded his fingers behind his head and he laid on his back close to the fire

After a lanced at her His pale skin had healed and only a trace of stubble on his jaw marred the smoothness Will&039;s voice was low and serious when he finally spoke, "Maybe, but it&039;s the only way to ensure we survive" He took a deep breath, adding as he looked away from her, "You and I are linked Can&039;t you feel it? Do you knohat thatthe ha of his heart Will knew damn hat it ht hair falling over her shoulders, "I&039;s I learned about as a child were nothing but legends, while other things seeht about it The world was different than she thought Before she met Will, she&039;d never seen a Bane or even heard of one In the short tiht the wolves at the Eht Her world had been filled with hunting and killing Trackers, trying to find any shred of evidence that her mother was still alive The best scrap of infor to rip her throat out at the tiet to ask questions She considered Will and his question, deciding that therehied, adding, "Besides, what I kneas about va is so that happens between a vampire and the consort You&039;re not a pure vaaze cut to hers ItKahli&039;s stomach twist The intensity of that look , not consider how she felt about him

"It doesn&039;tBane doesn&039;t shelter thenedout on the ice" He sucked in air, but there was never enough - not when he was thinking about Kahli with the massive hole in her neck Will sat up, and stared into the fire "I had no choice"

"What are you saying?" Kahli asked

Will&039;s eyes darted up and met hers He didn&039;t want to say it, he didn&039;t want her to know, but she had to If he didn&039;t tell her, she would figure it out at some point anyway It was i was bothering hi the same - and after that - how could he?

"When I tried to heal you nothing worked," Will explained "I slashed my hand and poured my blood over your wound, but it was too deep You&039;d already lost so much blood I couldn&039;t wake you and your body was so cold, Kahli I thought I lost you" His voice was barely a whisper by the ti The sadness in his eyes was palpable He held her gaze, softly, like he wanted to apologize for so lanced away and said it, "I did what I had to do I couldn&039;t lose you again"

The golden light from the fire flickered softly as it bathed Will&039;s face in rich tones She&039;d never seen hi her skin prickle Her lips were parted as she listened Horror filled her veins with ice, creeping up her spine He did soretted and now they&039;re linked Is that what he&039;s saying? It can&039;t be

"What did you do?" she asked, but she already knew Her revulsion to hile act Her heart pounded, sla into her ribs as she waited for an answer When she couldn&039;t take it anymore, she said, "Tell me, Will Now"

"We&039;re blood bound, Kahli You fed- " he couldn&039;t look at her when he said it, and turned his face back to the fire "I force-fed you h of it to heal the wound and keep you alive"

Kahli knew it She could feel hiainst the inside of her mind It was like a subtle breeze, one that barely lifted a wisp of hair, but could still be felt as it slipped across her skin Once Kahli recognized the sensation, it didn&039;t matter what she did, she couldn&039;t push him out - she couldn&039;t make it stop

"That&039;s what this is?" she asked, her finger pointing to her temple "That&039;s what I feel?"

Will stared into the fire watching the red and gold fla away fro

"You can feel hts?" The statement fell fro so hard Could he feel that, too? Did he kno terrified she was right then?
