We are both wolf and human, vampire Is it unusual we have bonds with those who are all one or the other?
No, come to think of it But it was pretty daeneral direction of the wolves "They're here to make sure this stays between you and me If Brutus, Malvin and Hector want to be up to their armpits in pissed-off wolves, all they have to do is help you in any way Though if that happens, I'll be disappointed Youto be surprising if you scream like a little bitch for their help But on the plus side, it'll be extre to me if you do"
Goddard wasa lot of calculations, Cai was sure Cai didn't see Rand, and expected he and a couple of the other wolves were circling to the back as he'd suggested Fane had taken lead position for the pack He looked da eyes leveled on the va from his throat and matched by that of all the other wolves and shifters Good as the beating of dru army
Goddard was holding the same frozen, I-will-kill-you all expression, but his boys were looking a little nervous
Cai dropped to his heels, tenting his fingers on the ground, his gaze leveling on Goddard Yeah, this was about a distraction, on the surface, but as things narrowed down to thisthis field until Goddard was dead Every inch of his hated face stoer broken that had ever taken froue ripped out to destroy any more words he could say to rip apart a soul
Cai wanted him dead, and he wanted to personally be the one who sent hier, that a two-hundred-year-old vampire was no h hate built up in hi sure of it
Goddard opened hised up fro at a speed only vampires and astronauts kneas possible
Cai's idea ht buy them time, but it didn'ta hell of a lot on factors that ht not pan out But when the cache of pent-up pissed-off broke loose inside Cai, Rand recognized that rage
When hurt beyond what you could bear, and so broke and had to be reood or whole as what had been before That spawned a festering anger that got buried so deep, a soul often didn't realize how strong it was, until a moment like this one happened Then it took over like the wrath of a god
Rand could hear the wolvesan occasionally snap at the other vampires to keep theht He wasn't going to get a better shot at Dovia
He had Stalker and Windrunner with hiirl was devoted to her older brother, and had refused to be left behind, even when Fane brought all his pack authority to bear on her,she and Darcy would rera
Windrunner had insisted she would follow them, if they left her behind Rand was sure Fane's children didn't often defy him, but Windrunner, even cowed down to a suber, had a look that said she wasn't letting Stalker go without her
She was a wolf, but she was also a teenager After a long look between Fane and Lynn, Fane had allowed it, if she promised to stay at the back and out of any direct confrontation It was part of why Rand chose her to accompany him now
When they found the rotted wood, he and Stalker shifted to hu feet to kick and break it, and those helpful opposable thumbs to pull it loose Windrunner stayed wolf, but pitched in with so Thanks to her s pretty quickly Kid had a lot of guts
The wind direction kept them apprised of the vampires, but Stalker shifted back to wolf and went to the corner to keep a visual on the three As Cai had predicted, all the vaht, but Stalker's tense body posture suggested things weren't going well
Rand didn't dwell on ould happen if Cai were killed, if he would feel whatever mortal wound Cai took the same way, or if he would simply drop All that mattered was Dovia
He heard Windrunner's whine, and she was there again, nosing and nudging Dovia The girl's eyes ide in her delicate face, but at the sight of Rand, she reached through the opening without hesitation so he could pull her out Windrunner squirmed out behind her Dovia was still naked, since they'd only provided her a "blanket" for her coure that out In his earlier exploration of the cabin, Rand had found no clothes for her Bastards
Cai, got her
He wasn't expecting a response, so he juh him like a shout The staccato-fast syllables told hi for his life
Get her to Daegan Run Gum
