Caspion nodded "As long as you feel that pain, you know she's alive"

"But where?"

"Why would an immortal vampire, a female, not heal from a mere arm injury?"

Realization His legs gave out, and he sagged against Caspion

"No, Mirceo," the demon murmured "We will find her And ill heal her"

Lothaire canted his head "You think she has the plague Interesting"

Interesting??? Mirceo alain

Caspion said, "The Gaolers ht have taken her to their dimension Which would explain why your oracle can't see her"

"Ah, the deain? They used to be much more active Of course, there used to be an" To the court, Lothaire said, "If Mina has the plague, then the Gaolers have her Sadly, she will not be returning home"

"Leo!" the queen snapped "You better start behaving yourself"

Mirceo nearly voain

Lothaire said, "Those phantass I consider beyond even my unholy reach No one knohence they come"

Caspion had said the Gaolers' diods, what if she ran afoul of Silt Harea--the male who'd threatened to kill anyone Mirceo loved?

Caspion squared his shoulders "I can get to the Gaolers"

_______

Lothaire laughed "This I ods?"

Cas said, "Because I knohere they will go in the future--and when"

Mirceo cast hi look

Cas told Lothaire, "Mirceo and I are going to capture another one of their bounties When the Gaolers come to collect, ill collect them"

Lothaire flashed his fangs The king's version of a s Which bounty will you retrieve?"

"There are several possibilities Once Mirceo has fed and healed"--Cas directed a look of menace at Lothaire--"he and I will assess the bounties with other seasoned hunters"

"Keep ed and shackled prisoner "Apologies, Kristoff Apparently your faction had nothing to do with the Dacianos' troubles No hard feelings, brother" Kristoff yelled behind his gag, thrashing Unaffected, Lothaire said, "I assume we're still on for our match this afternoon I will even ers heal Best keep your eye on your queen" Lothaire took Elizabeth's hand About to trace her away, he paused to ask Mirceo, "Why is that de you?"

Mirceo lifted his bruised chin "He's my mate"

Lothaire's red eyes widened and blazed "I don't care how valuable he is for us to use, I forbid such a union in dom!" He slarating it "Not on my watch! If you want that male, I'll exile you"

Sounding crazed, Mirceo said, "Thento live in a disos for the rest of our lives"

Cas shot him a side look Pardon?

Mirceo muttered to him, "I realized I would rather that scenario with you than anything else without you"

The queen snatched her hand away fro with this ot, the thicker her country accent grew "They clearly care about each other"

"Mirceo is my blood! And he dares to proclaiestured to Cas and Mirceo--"into my court?"

Cas clutched Mirceo's frail foret pushback somewhere or sometime--simply because they possessed two dicks between theht it would come from a three-millennia-old vampire

Voice thru with fury, the queen told Lothaire, "You had better check yourself"

Lothaire threw his hands up as if all the world had gone mad "When Trehan mated a sorceress with deed it But now Mirceo's mate is a full-blooded demon? With horns! Will

Viktor bring hohouless When we find Kosmina, she'll probably be knocked up with centaur foals Lizvetta, there's only so much I can STAND!"

"Wait," Cas said, "you don't care that I'm male?"

Lothaire blinked those creepy eyes "Why the fuck would I care if you're male?"

Then solely because I'm a demon?

The queen frowned "For lordy sakes, I thought you'd be more tolerant since your queen was a human 'peasant' before you turned her into a vampire"

Lothaire gazed down into her eyes, and his expression softened "Ah, but you were different, reatness in you"

Her eyes went soft as well, and she gave a resigned sigh "You're digging yourself deeper than a mole" She turned to Cas "I'm Ellie, and I'm so happy to welcome you here to Dacia, Prince Caspion I know you will protect Mirceo to the death and help bring back Mina We officially recognize your union in front of all" To Lothaire, she pointedly said, "Don't we, Leo?"
