Chapter 38
"Can you do it, Leigh?" Will's voice, his face, was concerned
"Of course she can" Jessie s rid of Hector, you can handle anything, right? He murdered your family"
"I remember"
The room went silent, as if in respect for those who had died I thought of theain in my mind
Jessie was right I could do anything if itHector to hell
"Let's make a plan," I said
Edward ran a hand over irl"
WarhDamien's hand he frowned and stepped away I hoped I wouldn't have to choose between the two of them But that was a worry for another tiht
We sat around the kitchen table Will redient, it wasn't as good as the last time But it was certainly better than any coffee I'd ever made
The planning didn't take long "Shoot him with silver," Edward advised "It is all you can do"
"Cora said silver will kill a Weendigo But a power eater, she wasn't sure"
"Silver wasn't supposed to kill the wolf god," Jessie murmured
"But it did?"
"Only because / shot her" Will took Jessie's hand, and she squeezed his fingers with a sad, wistful smile
"I loved her"
"The wolf god ritual was about love," Will explained "Zee needed the blood of the one who loved her to complete the ritual Therefore, only the hand of the one who loved her could end her life This ritual is about hate, enemies, lust, and not love"
"Nice," I muttered
Will continued as if I hadn't spoken "So it follows that if the power eater is shot by the one who hates him, his enemy, he should be wounded, disabled at the least Then, to end his existence forever"
Will looked at me
"Conquering of the ene of the flesh"
"Precisely"
I could hardly wait

I wanted to finish what Edward had interrupted Sex with love - for the first time
Dah tonight alive we could share love, life, a future
The door burst open and in strode Hector My back flared with agony, and I fell to the floor, writhing, helpless Hector grabbed Damien by the neck and tossed him across the room as if he were a doll
Daainst the wall and slid into a heap
