Katie's Hope

Page 98

She nodded, relief on her face, and he turned away from his injured brother. He'd send someone to take Hannah to a different sanctuary, unwilling to risk his newfound mate to one as unpredictable as Sasha.

For her sake, he had to find a way to live with Katie, or their differences would turn into a family feud. He couldn't bring himself to include Rhyn in the picture and hoped Katie came to her senses one day and dumped the half-demon before the worst happened, and she ended up extending the bloodline of the loose cannon that was her mate. "How long are you here for, Gabe?" he asked.

"As long as it takes." "You're here on business."

"I am."

"Good luck to you," Kris said. "You'd have my eternal gratitude if you could find a place for Rhyn in the underworld." "Not here for him."

"Maybe next time. I'm returning to the castle. I'll send Immortals to watch over Sasha."

His thoughts on preventing demons from killing innocent humans, he missed the resentful look that crossed Gabriel's face.

"You will find him and bring the vial or the girl to me, or I will spend eternity tormenting you!" Darkyn's angry words echoed in Jade's mind. His body was bloodied from Darkyn's whip. The cold early winter wind dried the tears on his face and made his cheeks stiff. Limping, Jade returned to the site where he'd killed Sasha. Sasha's blood was hidden beneath fresh snowfall. He stopped to lean against a tree to rest, unable to shake his own surprise at discovering Sasha wasn't dead.

He'd chopped him to pieces; he shouldn't have survived! And the vial never should've found its way back here!

It was Katie again. His fury rose once more. She'd been the reason Kris turned his back on him, and she'd been the one to bring the vial to the demon she thought was Ully. If he found her, he might find the vial.

His mind foggy with pain, Jade began to humor thoughts he'd previously rejected. They appeared more reasonable in his current state. If he killed her, Kris would finally see the folly of his ways. He'd have to deliver the vial to Darkyn first. Maybe there was a chance he could leave Hell and come back to Kris. After all, Kris hadn't died in the attack, and Jade could blame it all on Sasha.

A new idea struck, and he looked down at his bloodied body. He would go to Kris and tell him just that-- that Sasha had done this all, and he, Jade, had tried to help but been nearly killed by the demons!
