that I was not evil, so I showed them the night Arthur saw me snap. I showed them the guy beating her face in with a baseball back and kicking her in the side as she begged for mercy. Then I showed them his dead body and her getting the medical treatment she needed to survive. I showed them the man who held me at gunpoint and told me to behave or die. Finally I showed them the man who broke into an elderly couples house and raped and murdered the old woman while he made the husband watch only to kill the husband too.
I showed them all of the criminals I had killed since leaving the coven. I showed them my days spent playing with kids and talking to the locals. I showed them my love and affection for the city I called home and I showed them that nothing would stop me from protecting it.
The next thing that happened had me screaming in agony. Ihrin, my Sef, broke the walls of my mind and spoke to me. She warned me that I had broken the laws of the coven and that there was a bounty out for my head. My friends were being watched and Arthur was being held as an accomplice.
They would never find him guilty, they couldn’t. He didn’t know anything and I told them that. I slammed the mental wall back up and left town. I had to get away for a while.
Chapte r 30
I hadn’t been back to my home in months. I spent some time in Mexico and traveled up to Oregon to visit some friends from high school. Life on the run was hard but I was getting used to it. I still don’t think people realized that I didn’t need to kill, I had to. I missed my home though and decided it was time to go back. I had to visit the city that was my death and my birth. Even though I knew I could not stay I had to say goodbye.
I spent my day walking through the city remembering all the good times and the bad. I wanted to walk by Arthurs house so bad but I just couldn’t bear to see him. I did it for him for his city, for our city. Am I really the bad guy for doing the right thing?
I had to make one more stop before I could leave. I had to smell the sweet scent of strawberries and vanilla that would always be where I found my soul mate. I sat at our table and cried for what seemed like an eternity. My heart would never be whole again but I knew he would never accept me again. I had broken him twice, he was too smart to let me in again.
In a temporary lapse of sanity I decided to try, just one time. If he said no, I would leave. If he tried to capture me I would let him, life wasn’t worth living without him. I walked in the door and knew something was wrong. I could smell the fear in the air. I ran downstairs to the basement and fell to my knees. Someone had Arthur. It was a hulitor. He finished draining the blood from my lover’s neck and threw him down on the ground like trash.
Arthur was dead.
That was when I felt the magic. They had used the one thing I still cared about to catch me. Without him, life wasn’t worth living. Just let them kill me.

Prologue
“I told you what you wanted to know!” I screamed at my captors. “Now kill me or let me go!” I took a deep breath and debated my next sentence. Arthur was dead . Life wasn’t worth living. Calmly I continued, “I would suggest killing me because if you let me go and I find out you killed Arthur, I will enjoy playing in your blood.”
The clicking of heels was the first inclination of who I was dealing with. Now, I knew it was a woman. Any woman in her right mind would side with me. “I promise to leave New Orleans and never come back. You know what I did was for the good of mankind. Just let me disappear into the wind.” A scratchy island voice graced my ears and said, “Oh honey, t hey got you good. You aren’t nowhere near New Orleans.”
My whole body clenched. What had they done to me, where was I? I was beginning to get nervous. Ihrin would do anything to protect her coven. Who had she given me to? “Awe
