The guilt I’ve harbored since leaving e, jury, and executioner to humans, but if these two think to play predator, I’ll show the in this bar

It’s pathetically easy to pretend to drink the beer Really, theup froh, I let ht Side is there to catcha beefy arm around my waist “Looks like someone’s had too much”

Mr Left Side chuckles “Better see her safely hoentle look, which only serves to set e They have done this before I’d stake my life on it Itheht

I understand the bartender’s look a few minutes later when they haularound back He brushes his hands off on his pants “Let’s make this quick I only have fifteen minutes”

I don’t feel guilty at all as I strike

I ht be no , but these three are only human They barely have time to react before I deliver harsh blows to their teh to kill theo down in boneless heaps

“You fuckers,” I spit on the ground I want to kick theood et up to no good, then I have fewer than that before so for him

I hurry to the truck and drive it around back All three of them are still unconscious as I toss their bodies into the bed of the truck and get out of there as quickly and quietly as possible The drive back to the house seeh to remember the route

As I take the dirt road toward the house, I wait for guilt to sweep overto hurthoet no points just because they turned out to be rotten to the core

Apparently Azazel was onto soh I’ll be daain, that is It’s probably better if I don’t

Though I half expect the er prevails Wolf roans softly but doesn’t stir Good It’s one thing to attack them when they intended to attackand begging for their lives now

Then again, these are bloodline vareat pleasure After that first contact, no one is fighting anything They’re too busy riding the waves of desire and begging for more

I certainly was

It takes less time than one would expect to drain a human body of blood By the end of it, we have three corpses and all three men look much closer to themselves I am almost convinced I can see their faces start to look healthier, their gauntnessaway

Malachi surges to his feet and pulls me into his arms “Are you hurt?”

My laugh feels a little broken I’m not the one who has spent nearly a week in ht be permanently nauseous, but the worst I’ve had to deal with is Grace being cranky in the s by comparison “I’m better off than you were”
