Meryn’s eyes lit up. “Hell yeah.”

Ryuu looked to Kendrick. “Nothing too strenuous.”

Kendrick motioned to where the image had been. “She did it as naturally as breathing. I don’t think it will put any strain on her at all, but should she show any signs of discomfort we will stop.”

Meryn shrugged. “I keep trying for lottery numbers, but I got nothing.”

Brennus carefully stored the spheres away for future use. “Darling, you know we’ll get you anything you want.”

“I know, but I want the satisfaction of winning cause I cheated,” she admitted.

“If you think of anything you want, you just let me know,” he reiterated.

Meryn looked at her uncle.

Brennus placed the lid on the wooden box that held the spheres. “Did you think of something?”

She hesitated.

Brennus and Doran turned to her. “You finally thought of something we can get you?” Doran asked, sounding excited.

“Yup! I want that baby blanket for jellerbean. I mean a version of it. But, instead of fae squiggles I can’t read, can you add a shield with violets wrapped around it? I looked up my dad’s name and it means protector. I figured it could kinda be from them too.”

Brennus turned to Doran who stood. “I’ll see to it myself.” He looked to his mate. “Want to come with me?”

Chris took his hand. “Always.”

Meryn sat smiling. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.”

Kincaid watched as her eyes went pitch black.

Cas groaned. “Not again!”

Chapter Fourteen

Meryn looked around and simply went to her favorite couch. “What is it this time? A puppy drowned in a well?”

The demon gave her a droll look. “I told you it wasn’t to my aesthetic.”

She looked around. “Is it time to get my new memory?”

The demon shook his head.

“I thought you weren’t going to talk to me again until that was ready.”

“I have been thinking. I treat you like a human and I feel like that is an injustice to you. How would you like to renegotiate?”

“No way! You promised me…”

The demon held up his hand smiling. “I can still deliver on that promise, however, I would like to make you a new offer. Instead of giving you the memory of their deaths, how would you like it if I delivered them to you, wrapped up with a pretty bow for you to kill?”

Meryn eyed him. “Tell me plainly that it isn’t a trick.”

“Meryn, darling, this is not a trick. I was making arrangements to have things in place when I realized, that if it were me, I would want to land the killing blow myself.”

Meryn chewed on her thumb. “Does it make me a bad person that I’m tempted by your offer?”

“You are seriously asking the wrong person.”
