“You were there with him on his island. You were a part of it.”
“I was there but wasn’t a part of it.”
“The Circle of Kings is a demonic group steeped in Satanism. They are evil and very dangerous.”
I thought of the ritual I witnessed and the incantations. There was definitely something wicked about the night.
“They prey upon the weak-minded,” she continued. “Using them to their advantage.”
I had no reason to trust this woman. She was cruel to my mother. Cruel to me.
“I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You should because you married their Grand Master.”
I looked between my grandmother and Donovan. How did she know he was Grand Master? I never mentioned it to Donovan.
“Keir Wilson. He is their leader,” she said matter of fact. “Are you not married to him?”
“Yes, but it’s not a real marriage.”
“He used you because he needed a wife. He is an evil man. A monster. The devil himself.”
My hands were shaking. Everything she said was true.
He did need a wife.
He was ruthless.
And he was a monster. Or something of the kind.
“He is a master manipulator, and now he’s got Donovan’s nephew. You need to help us, so we can help Aidan.”
“I’m not sure how I can help. I told you I don’t know anything.” My throat burned.
“He’s taken advantage of you, pet.” She reached out and stroked my arm. “He’s ruined Cormac. But you can make it up to both our families, and everything can return to normal.”
“I don’t know what else I can do.”
“We are God-fearing people. You’ve met these men. Have you ever seen anything out of the normal, perhaps superhuman strength or things you can’t explain that would account for their demonic possession?” she asked.
I shook my head. “No, I don’t know, maybe.”
My hand went to my stomach. Confusion wracked my soul. I needed to protect the baby.
“We will protect you,” she said. “You just need to listen to Donovan and do whatever he tells you to. He will help you to repent your sins. God will forgive you for your weakness, and we will overlook your little transgression. You will marry him when your divorce goes through. I’ll ensure your brothers are taken care of, and the restaurant debts are cleared.”
“Marry Donovan?”
“Well, you could hardly marry him,” she said, pointing to Cormac.
We pulled into a small harbor, and the driver stopped the car. Donovan got out and opened my door. “Get out,” he said.
“I looked at my grandmother. You promise they will be okay. My brothers?”
“You are a Sullivan now for all practical purposes. Our families are finally united. Don’t disappoint me again,” she warned. “I will not be so forgiving next time.”
Dominic took my hand and helped me out as Cormac followed behind. Then he grabbed a large duffel bag from the back.
