Katie's Hope

"I'm doing what Kris won't. I'm not bound by those rules of his. Sasha needs to fry, and the Council needs to remain intact, or all Immortals die. I don't particularly want the world to go to shit before I get a chance to enjoy my time away from Hell," Rhyn said calmly. "Now, you can send your soldiers to the castle where the demons are staging an attack, and rejoin the Council, or I can bury you here in your front yard. Make your choice."

Kiki wheezed for a long moment, then said, "Yes, fine. Let me go, you dick."

Rhyn obliged and stepped back. Kiki glared at him, but Rhyn knew this brother to be the easiest of the three to sway. He was about to address Kiki again when Katie's angry words hit him.

She hadn't been talking about Toby.

"What?" Kiki eyed him warily. "I already agreed. Don't look at me like I'm your dinner. I take it you're going to see Erik next."

"Yeah," he managed. "Erik."

Holy fuck. There was a hatchling growing within her.
