Dread seeps into my heart when she asks this. “No! No, that’s now how it works with a Pureblood’s Fated!” I exclaim, crossing my arms awkwardly. “He just had to bite me; no death required.”
Relief seems to wash over her face and she pulls me into a hug with a wide grin on her face.
“Fuck, that makes me feel better!” she says, her voice no longer containing venom. “You got your man, Kat.”
I giggle at her words. “I did, and you?”
She breaks off the embrace and shoots me a sly smirk. “No, but I have a feeling that something will happen soon,” she whispers, her eyes going to Church who grins and fucking winks at her!
“Wait, what was that?” I ask, confused and excited for some reason. “Did something happen?”
Xenia chuckles and shrugs. “A clear line has been drawn to see who gives in first.”
“Oh, my God, you two are going to be the death of me,” I exhale, rolling my eyes. “Let the games begin, I guess.”
Well, this is good news either way. By doing this, both of them have admitted what they feel for one another, but now they’ve made a game out of it.
Christ, leave it to the two of them to do something like this and call it fun.
Gabriel gets our attention by clapping his hands together and we all turn to him.
“Congratulations and well wishes out of the way, we need to get ready to leave for Germany. Valentine, you oversee the estate in DC while I’m gone. Try to play nice with that wench sharing my bed and make it known that it won’t last.”
A fierce feeling of jealousy washes over me and I nearly die when my chest rumbles with a growl. Gabriel’s eyebrows shoot up in amusement and he walks over to me, placing a kiss on my forehead. “Your jealousy is sexy, but you do not need to worry, little lamb.”
“I know,” I grumble, looking at my feet and he simply kisses me again.
“Church, dissolve the MC in Vegas and move the rest of the men over here. Fuck the council; I can be DA as well as Devil’s Void President,” he says, to which Church grins and nods in agreement. “Xenia can go with either one of you if she wishes, since Germany won’t be safe for her right now.”
“I’ll go with Valentine,” she announces. “I wanna play with that little bitch a bit.”
My gaze goes to Church and I see the disapproval in his eyes. He should have expected this since they’ve decided to turn their thing into a game. No way will Xenia make it easy for him. I know her well enough.
“Right. Since that has been established, Katherine and I should be ready to leave in the next hour. Valentine, get the jet ready in the meantime. Church, you can leave for Vegas,” he orders, sounding sexy as fuck.
“Yes, Pres,” both Valentine and Church say and walk towards the door.
I slip my arms around his waist and lean my head on his chest. “I’m… a bit scared,” I admit, peering up at him. “What if they decide to crucify me for what my family has done?”
“Then I will kill them all,” he says with assurance. “Besides, you can bargain with them, you know.”
I frown, not understanding. “What do you mean?”
He pulls me into his arms and takes my face in his hands. “You, my sweet girl, know things about the hunters that we don’t. Knowledge of things they’re dying to uncover - codes, locations, members; things they would kill to know.”
My eyes widen when I realize what he’s suggesting and although it fucking sucks, I know that if push comes to shove I will choose Gabriel over the people who wanted me dead in the first place.
I know the location of every hunter’s guild, the codes of safe houses, and members in government. If I can use it, then fuck yeah, I will.
“I guess we’ll see when we get to Germany,” I say, slipping my hand into his. “But first, you need to make me dirty in the shower, King.”
His face lights up at this, but I’m glad he can’t read my mind right now. Yeah, I’m using sex to distract myself from the fact that I am absolutely terrified and have a bad fucking feeling coiling in my gut.
KATHERINE
“Kazimir and Eirisse Vasile from Germany, Ezra Aviet from Armenia, Nisha and Niall Deveraux from France, Dante and Demetria Principe from Italy - these are the heads of the council. They’re old, powerful, and hold sway with a lot of important people because of the snakes they’ve managed to slip into government. Like me, for instance.” Gabriel explains while we drive along the snowy mountains.
He’s been trying to teach me more about these people he says I shouldn’t be scared of, but the more he tells me, the more their names haunt me.
