Lore sighed "Your assassins went after Idess"

She felt all the blood drain from her face "What happened?"

"Marcel tried to take her off the streets of Ro I couldn’t handle, but Idess is hued back down into the rocker "Fuck I’ers, and in that one gentle gesture, there was more love than she’d ever felt from him Not because it hadn’t been there, but because she could finally see it

She’d been so blind So stupid! Sin clutched Lore’s hand like a lifeline "I’ll fix this I swear I’ll fix it" Lore narrowed his eyes at her "What have you got planned?"

Sweat dampened her temples "Don’t worry about it"

"Why do I feel like there’s so me?"

"Because you’re paranoid" She paused, her brain working overti she’d just been told "Marcel worked with Lycus a lot Do you think he was involved in Idess’s attack?" "I didn’t see him But if he was involved…"

"Yeah, I know I’ue; Sin knew it But he was still working off the guilt he felt for leaving her so long ago, so she’d been content to let slide for all these years Shame burned her cheeks, and she swore that after this, she would do whatever it took to finally release hi to let him continue to try to make it up to her, when he’d made up a thousand times over

Noas her turn to rowls, and curses Not the vulgar kind; the actual, may-yourbile-sacs-explode-and-poison-you-to-death kind "I love you guys, too," she’d called out as she stalked down the dark hallways to the throne roo fast and heavy, her hands shaking like a rookie on her first kill mission

What the hell? She’d been rock solid for a hundred years, and she’d expected to get back to the den and immediately shift back into the assassin

Not so ry at her oeakness, she called for Sunil and waited, pacing next to the hearth, taking care to avoid the trapdoor in front of the hideous throne Deth had commissioned to be made out of the skeletons of humans and several species of de what she was going to say to hi at first Her priet hi to a hor hies of him nad

Sunil finally appeared, and he approached warily, ht out in the open If he had a tail, it would be twitching madly

"Hey, boss" As always, his voice was a deep ru to be here for one second longer than necessary "My assassins wanted ry We need work, and we need it badly"

"I know," she said, sinking into the chair "I’ve been a terrible master"

His ears twitched the way they did when he was uncoave a startled laugh "That’s so no one has ever said about me"

"Glad I could be the first" He cocked his head and studied her "So why a to kill me"

"Everyone," Sunil said simply

Sin shifted, winced at the poke of so you?"

"Yes" His brown cheeks darkened with a blush of crimson, and his nervousness was now fully explained She had the right to torture or put down every assassin who had tried to kill her "You know I like you, Sin, but I have a family to feed"

"I knoouldn’t have respected you if you hadn’t tried" Oh, the assassin code was interesting, wasn’t it?

"So," Sunil prompted "A your return" She shuddered Those unholy, eyeless demons lived for torture They were also bound to the den, so Sin hadn’t found a way to get rid of theolden eyes flared, the pupils elongating and then rounding out again "You can’t be serious" "Very"<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
