“I hate witches for this reason. Containing her is going to be a bitch!”

Not far away, Mathew was trying to use the relics, and failing miserably. He was trying to call up more vampyres, but what he didn’t realize is there were so few left anyway.

The ones closest were in Jolie’s family, and they were safely at home in her house. That was protected by Rinnon’s energy. Thank God they attached the lair to it.

Kiera waved her arm.

“I said, bring him to me.”

They did her bidding, and before he knew it, he was being torn to pieces and handed to the woman wielding the spell.

“HELP!”

Honestly, Jolie knew that the men in her life wouldn’t help him if they could.

You got that right, Baby.

Absolutely,Jacques added.

He wanted to sleep with my woman. He can be her snack,Rinnon stated.

Well, she’d been right about that.

When Mathew was in front of Kiera, err…Aiobeheann, he was put on his knees as he bled from his missing appendages.

“What do I have here?” she asked, floating around him as she possessed Kiera.

“I’ll serve you. I’ll do whatever you want. The other woman abandoned me.”

Aiobeheann wasn’t having it.

They all knew that Mathew was no match for her, and she’d never let him live. Aiobeheann had one goal in her lifetime, and it was to be the necromancer.

And they’d handed it to her.

Shit.

“Give me the relic I want.”

Because she knew he wouldn’t say no, she held out her hand, and he did exactly what she asked. He placedThe Necromancer’s Swordin her fingers.

The other one…

She tossed it aside.

Thankfully.

With her fist, she slammed it into his heart, and Mathew had no chance.

He exploded into ash when she killed him.

Well, that problem was gone. Now, they had a worse one. They didn’t know what Mambo‘taught’her.

Or Kiera, who could read Rinnon’s spell books, and had.

When she turned, Jacques was up, and he put his body in front of his mates.

That was all it took.
