“What do you plan to do with him?” Damien asked.
“Do you really care? In or out, tailor? Chop-chop. Because Minky says there is a gaggle of gods looking for me right now, and once they find me, this offer is done. Thank you for doing that, by the way. Votan ispissssed.” She smiled.
“You know about that?”
“Uh, yeah. This whole retirement thing is ridiculous. They honestly believe that the world—that humans—no longer needs our intervention. Wrong! But since they won’t listen to me, I have to show them. And you are going to help.”
Damien was completely lost.
“Now get in the fucking chamber.” Cimil narrowed her eyes. “Or I will have Minky stab your balls and shove ’em down your throat.” Cimil raised the top half of the chamber.
Something to his right nudged him.
“What the…?” He jumped in place, but there was no one.It’s her damned Minky.
Tailor! No! It is a trap. Do not do it!
Didn’t matter what the beast said; if there was even a sliver of a chance that Cimil was telling the truth, Damien was doing this.Free! No more fucking beast!he thought.
Damien got inside the chamber and lay down. “By the way, I made my choice.”
“Yes, yes. You choose Sky. I know.” Cimil rolled her eyes.
“How?”
“You’ll find out. Now close your eyes, because this is going to smart.” Cimil closed the chamber.
Tailor! No! Let me out. We must fight!
A set of bright lights came on, flooding the chamber. Suddenly his body began to heat. He felt like he was burning up.
Sky had given a lot of thought to the conversation with Damien earlier today. And after discussing things with her sister, Amelia, Sky had come to grips with the full weight and the reality of Damien’s decision to choose only one woman.
She didn’t envy him, but if Damien chose her, he needed to know the truth. She had a moral obligation to stop SBP. She would infiltrate them, just like Damien had suggested. She would gather information, find out who was really running things, and then she’d take them all out.
But that meant she had to cut herself off completely from everyone. For their own protection.Is this how Damien felt when he broke things off with me?
Because it sucked.
Especially because it could take years to get in deep with SBP. But if she could stop the testing, the mutilations, and the trafficking, she had to try. There was no one else coming to the rescue of these poor women and rare creatures.Not many supernatural creatures left on the planet.
Sky understood the urgency now more than ever. Because that article she wrote in Damien’s name? Never saw the light of day. She’d arranged to publish it through an old contact at an independent news site known for its undercover work. But someone must’ve tipped off the governor because the site was shut down.
Going public with the story was a waste of time anyway. It was like Damien said, no one would believe her.
This was why she was going to talk to Damien. Sky wanted him to know her plan. If he’d chosen her, which he might’ve done already since it was almost midnight, he had to know she wasn’t staying.
If he hadn’t chosen her, and she was about to die, Sky wanted Damien to know that it changed nothing. She loved him and still would from beyond the grave. She needed him to understand that she forgave him and wouldn’t haunt him this time so he could live his life with Willa.
In short, either way, this was goodbye. Also, she should probably return the Jag.
Sky pulled up to Damien’s house behind a large white RV parked out front.
“What is this?” She squinted, trying to make out the small print over the bumper. “Property of SBP Enterprises?”
Oh crap. What are they doing here?
She hopped out of the Jag and cautiously approached. Just then, she spotted Bonbon, Gorgonzolina, and Pet coming out the front door.
