You did not take my blood. How is it you can track me? In spite of herself, Desari was impressed.
She knew Darius could do such a thing, but Barack and Dayan could not. Nor could she. Yet. But she
was always learning things from her brother.
Know this, cara,you belong to me .
Only if I wish it, she corrected him, angry all over again. His arrogance was astounding to her.
The bus shuddered to a stop, and Syndil turned in her seat. "This is a good place for us to hide, Desari.
Can you help me get Darius to earth?"
Color swept up Desari's neck and into her face, and she avoided Syndil's gaze. She did not want anyone
to know what she was doing. "Yes. I am feeling much stronger now, thanks to you, Syndil," she
answered.
What a little liar you are, the taunting male voice informed her.
Stay away from me.
You want me. His voice was a drawling caress.
You wish. Desari forced herself to her feet and staggered down the aisle to her brother's side.
Desari and Syndil focused their attention on Darius and lifted him between them, using only the power of
their minds. The cats pushed close, trying to see for themselves that Darius was fine. Without warning,
Desari's strength increased. Startled, she looked at Syndil. But she knew it was the stranger lending her
his power.
Go away. Just go away. Desari stumbled on the bottom step but recovered. Darius's body didn't so
much as waver.
"You are practically carrying him by yourself," Syndil said admiringly.

I injured him. The words were said with a deep satisfaction, but the stranger continued to provide
Desari with the necessary strength to keep from dropping Darius to the ground.
She refused to acknowledge his statement. Angry with herself for her disloyalty, for even wanting to
converse with the stranger, Desari waved a hand to open the ground for her brother's body. She knew
the stranger was dwelling in her, but she was fully aware of her own power. He could not read what she
did not want him to know as long as she remained on the alert for his invasion.
Darius floated into the earth. Healing soil poured over his body. Sasha, the female leopard, lay on top of
the spot. Desari opened the earth beside her brother and entered, grateful for the soothing tranquillity
nature offered as it healed her body and mind.
"Sleep well, little sister," Syndil whispered. "Do not fear. I will take care of all the details and loose ends
before I seek rest this night. Heal, Desari, and be safe."
"Watch yourself, Syndil. There may be other assassins," Desari cautioned. She closed her eyes and let
the earth surround her.
The last thing she felt as she shut down her body was a male hand brushing her face in a slow,
heart-melting caress. The last thing she heard before her heart ceased to beat was his voice.I will come
to you , piccola.I will always be near should you have need of me .
Chapter Three
Security was tight at the singing troupe's next sold-out concert. Policemen and security personnel were
visible everywhere. No one was taking any chances this time, treating Desari as if she were a national
treasure. Every entrance was heavily guarded and each person checked with a metal detector before
being admitted. Dogs roamed the aisles with their handlers, and Darius oversaw it all. He was not about
to allow assassins a second chance at his sister.
The police had searched for the suspects in the attempted murders during the past week, but they could
not find a trace of them. A good amount of blood had been discovered leading from the tavern, but no
bodies. The police were certain that at least one suspect had died and his companions had removed the
corpse, but Darius knew better. He had killed every one of the assailants and left them in plain sight for
whoever had sent them to discover. Someone had interfered, and he suspected just who it was.
Darius continually scanned the crowd, his black eyes moving unceasingly over the people pushing to
enter the building. Besides the assassins he had to worry about, he knew the creature would come
tonight. Desari hadn't said anything of the sort to him, but she was restless and emotional, completely
unlike herself. Several times he had reached to touch her mind with his, only to find it closed to him. He
could have pushed past the barrier with some effort, but he respected her right to privacy.
Julian, dressed in faded blue jeans and a sleeveless black T-shirt, moved with the crowd toward the
doors. He spotted Desari's security guard instantly and took a few minutes to study him. More than ever
the man reminded him of Gregori. He was tall, as Carpathians tended to be, but he carried more muscle [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
