Lyssa's gaze went frigid when it was pointed toward Tyra and Voltaire "This was not how the sorcerer's tool was to be utilized He will not be pleased to hear the poas abused And I do not kno you've bound our guest, but I won't repeat ain Free him"

Chavez scampered to Cai's side to do as he'd been bidden His obvious terror of the fehtful, but Cai would have an easier ti barbed as off Staving off another of those stupid panic spurts about that, he tried to focus on as happening around thee was power, yeah But he'd still prefer an Uzi and a bolt-action wooden stake launcher

Lady Lyssa turned her attention to the va held by the other two Council valy dazed

Shea hand on his arm to command his attention "Lord Greenwald, I understand the pain you are feeling right now, but you must control yourself so we can make the most of this opportunity If you can't, I will have you taken back to your bedroom and held there until we can formulate a plan of action I suspect you'd much rather be part of those plans Correct?"

The aze on Cai was still feral and desperate It held so e, if he could have taken Cai doith it alone, he would have That didn't really bug Cai It was the uncontrolled look behind it which gave hi Not that the whole situation wasn't fucked, but there was a wrongness to thethat hand on hih

"I swear, I didn't know aze over the male "But I expect you can find someone else to measure your inseams for you"

With a screa wrath, Greenwald tried to burst out of the va and Lyssa's servant had to renew their efforts to keep the wolf fro his bonds

Fuck it Cai shut his mouth while Chavez started to remove the barbed wire Lyssa had freaked the Goth out He wasa chant to help with the removal, but he went too fast, because he cursed and had to start over, taking the words more slowly

In thelook at Cai, Lady Lyssa racefully and put her hand on his broad, dark head She'd smoothed the skirt modestly beneath her as she dropped to her heels, and it only an to speak, probably to warn her, but she shook her head Her sers curled into the thick fur

"You are aze lifted and met Cai's "Is he what I believe he is?"

"A pain in my ass? A noble idiot? Yes, on both counts"

She kept looking at hi stare Cai sed

Stop being a fucking smartass and answer the lady's question before she rips Rand's head off to prove she can, he told himself

"Yes"

Her eyes widened slightly, her servant's face reflecting the same surprise Cai should have lied He wasn't sure why he hadn't He had a terrible vision of the Rand imprisoned as a circus act for the rest of his life Why didn't you just run, damn you?

He received a ht of how Rand had touched his muzzle to his arm, an unexpected intietconnection A new experience for Cai when he was in a jauy he looked at in the mirror but couldn't see

"De "Deirl Kill them, and they will release her Make them feel pain My pain"

Cai noted a significant look pass between Lady Lyssa and the other two Council members He also observed a less-hard-to-decipher co between Voltaire, Chavez and Tyra Anticipation, coe of bloodlust There was one Lord Greenasn't well

He'd seen it happen to at least a couple of vaister the syrew up, such weakness resulted in an immediate death sentence Ennui The only hundred percent incurable disease that seemed to affect vampires, usually those over five hundred, which Greenwald clearly was

Fro dropped all over the place like marbles, Cai concluded that Greenas probably an overlord Lyssa calling hiuarantee of that, since born vampires immediately earned the title by birth But Chavez, Tyra and Voltaire were acting like underlings vying to take his spot When they didn't iested they weren't averse to letting hioad his unstable impulses
