Chapter 29

• “You have to be the worst enforcer ever,” I said. “How often do you drop what you’re supposed to be doing for secret missions? You’re working for Queen Marcella and have something going on with your brother.”
• “I never said those weren’t connected,” he said. “But I’m only an enforcer to get access to what I need for the Queen.”
• “Then tell them the truth about last night. Tell them you happened to walk by. Or use your magic to make them forget they accused me. Then you can let me go about my business and we can be done with this false partnership.” I was breathing heavy and my jaw was clenched. All of this was too much. I never asked for any of this. I didn’t want to be involved in some shifter plot to hide an artifact and I certainly didn’t want to be involved in whatever the fuck the vampires had going on with Elias.
