and drugs could ensure. Intimidation would not work with Preece, because the
wolf was a natural born killer; a predator that rivaled Malthus'
own kind.
"What's that?" Preece unstoppered the bottle and sniffed it.

"Dreaming Angel. It's the most popular street drug in
Creeya. You'll like it."
"As much as the White Fire I got at the Crimson Lady?"
"This is different. A little goes a long way. Use it when you can afford to
lay in bed and bliss out."
"It's a bliss drug?"
"Yes." Malthus was unfamiliar with the lycan slang, and had accidentally put
his finger on the right term.
"I want more White Fire. Can you get raw Enlokieyn?"
"I lost most of my sources for White Fire and Enlokieyn when the Blood
District burned down, but I still have access to shipments from Creeya."
Preece looked thoughtful. "Speaking of equalizers? Can you get Devil's
Silver?"
"Possibly."
"Look into it. I want to give Maguire a little surprise."
"Why do you hate him?"
"I told you, you might not like it."
"Try me."
"My grandfather was Alistar Weems."
Everything clicked into place and Malthus realized how easily and
disastrously he could have played Preece wrong.
"I've heard of him. Are you mage-gifted, Preece?"
"Not that I know of." Preece settled back in his chair and took a long drink
from his tankard, measuring Malthus carefully before he spoke again. "My
mother was his youngest daughter ... youngest legitimate daughter. She was
always cursing at me ... saying I was a thorn in her side ... because I
was like her father."

"Are you?"
"How should I know? He was dead before I was born." A
dry chuckle slipped from Preece's mouth. "When I couldn't take anymore, I
killed her. So now we'll never know."
"If you're expecting me to be shocked, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
You see, I killed my father Lord Feodras
Iagaris."
Preece straightened and interest burned in his jaded eyes.
Malthus knew he had Preece then and decided to drop another tidbit of
information. "I take it you know about
Kynyr?"
"Know what?"
A hint of arrogant nonchalance touched the corners of
Malthus' lips. "I uncovered something he wishes kept secret."
"Tell me."
"My guess is that you've gone after Kynyr because Todd

Sinclair is his grandfather ... except that he isn't. Kynyr's father is
Tarrant Redhand's bastard."
Preece snarled. "Tarrant killed my grandfather over a slut."

Fergus MacFie stood on the walls of Castle MacLachlan.
Beyond the walls, lay a sprawling encampment. They had raised an army of three
hundred myn. Laird Duncan claimed that if they had had more time he could have
doubled that, but the longer they waited the more lycans would die and lose
their souls.
The death of gentle Jordi MacFie and the discovery of the plot by the
sa'necari had driven the villages into a genocidal

rage. All the humans had been rounded up, tested for the sa'necari taint, and
the merest suspicion of complicity with their old enemies was enough to get
them killed outright by the raging mobs.
They would first ensure the safety of their city brethren and then they would
hunt down and kill the sa'necari and their human allies.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
COURTSHIP AND CHOCOLATE
The more that Kynyr read about the Wild Cousins'
Courtship, the more unfair it seemed to him. Except for the initial set of
permissions, the entire custom was weighted in his favor. Kynyr picked his
tablet up with his notes on the
Wild Cousins' Courtship, marked his place in the book with the attached
ribbon, and headed down the hall to the infirmary.
Gram's big tiger-striped cat lay curled next to Finn, getting his ears
scratched and purring loudly. The tip of Kerry's tail twitched when Kynyr
walked in.
Finn caught the troubled look in Kynyr's eyes. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know what to make of this. You know that custom she invoked?"
"Kind of hard to forget."
"Well..." Kynyr sucked in a breath and hesitated. "What it comes down to is
... ummn ... well; Kady's challenged me to get her pregnant."
"That doesn't sound like Kady at all."
"I know. That's what bothers me." Kynyr handed his tablet to Finn.
His spiritbrother read it, his eyes growing large as saucers.
Then he chuckled. "This looks like fun. Kady has no

woodcraft. You'll pull her down before she gets a hundred paces."
"I don't know if it's right or not." Kynyr's lips compressed into a tight knot
of rueful dismay. "It isn't that I don't want her, Finn. I want her so bad [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
