“Okay, Girlie. Get to snapping.”
Having taken the picture, Alex looked through her Mate’s contacts and landed on the name Stone.“With a name like that, he’s got to be Creed’s second in command, right?”
“Sounds good to me.”
Hitting the green button and sending the picture with the message,XOXO, Assassin, as Verity had instructed, Alex insisted, “Now, explain why I did that? And how we’re not gonna end up with a Fomorian Death Squad, the Coven of the Crow, and a Clan of pissed off Paladins on the doorstep of our safe house?”
“We can’t deliver him to his people without breaking the orders given by the Morrígan, right?”
“Right.”
“And within the hour, the Celtic Goddess of War will know that you haven’t completed the mission, that the Mark still lives, right?”
“Right.”
“Then she will send The Crow out to kill you, right?”
“Right,”Alex ground out through gritted teeth.“I really hope you’re going somewhere with all this because so far, you’re not painting a very pretty picture.”
“Of course, I am,”Verity vowed. “The point I am making is that the only acceptable way for you not to have completed the mission was for someone else to have intervened.”
“Right and they did and then I intervened, putting my ass right back in The Crows’ crosshairs.”
“But no one knows that because you turned most of the members of the Death Squad into wall art, along with the Coven of the Crow while the Demi-God and the King of the Big Cats dispatched the rest. Furthermore, you had Amy delete her video so nothing was sent through the Eye of Dagda.”
“Okay…”
“So, when the Paladins come charging in here and save their Leader and kill you it becomes no harm, no foul right?”
“Right, but…”
“But you’ll be dead and not Mated to Creed?”
“Yeah, that.”
“Okay, so, that part sucks, but this is the only thing I could come up with that would allow you to retain your honor and ascend to the Heavens and also make sure that Amy becomes the next Sìthiche Dubh just like the legend states.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re…”
“Wait a minute,”Verity excitedly shrieked. “You poured a salt circle. Why did you pour a salt circle? Were you actually listening to me?”
“Yes, and to remove the Black Magic and the Curse from Creed.”
“Then get to removing. That way he’ll be awake and can tell the Dragons who you are, that you helped him escape, and that you’re not part of the Fomorian Death Squad. Bingo-bango, you’re in the clear to live happily ever after with the man of your dreams.”
“Until they find out that I was actually sent to Dallas to kill him.”
“Can we puhlease worry about that later? Right now, you need to…”
“You need to stop what you’re doing and turn yourself in. Throw yourself on the mercy of the Morrígan and save our family’s honor,” Amy spat, stopping right beside her sister with a look of utter disappointment on her face. “How could you…?”
“Stop right there,” Alex warned, holding her index finger and glaring at her sister.
Swinging that same digit towards the unconscious Dragon, she all but seethed, “This is my Mate. Not a Mark. Not someone who will ever die by my hand.”
“I didn’t…”
Holding up her hand, Alex gave a single, sharp, shake of her head. “No, you didn’t know, but stomping in here and accusing me of dishonoring our family - without having all the facts… Well, that’s… It’s just…”
