the beggining

chapter 22

JUS SO YOU GUS KNOW, THERE IS SOME SWEARING IN THIS CHAPTER, NOT MUCH BUT THERE IS

Sakina’s P.O.V.

I watched Toby’s facial expression change, grateful that I wouldn’t need to explain to him what I meant. But then he was gone.

I was so focused on Toby that I didn’t notice Artemis using his vampire speed to get to Toby, pick him up by the back of his shirt collar and throw him, none too gently, against my wall. Toby’s face was blank, holding no emotion, and no expression of fear from Artemis, who had Toby off the floor by the front of his shirt and was ready to attack. My cool calculating instincts took their dear sweet seconds to make a decision on whether it was worth it to get involved, ignoring my screaming emotions. Then I was on my feet and feeling the impact of Artemis’ hard body against my shoulder as I tackled him to the ground, allowing Toby to drop to the floor.

I felt the impact of the floor through Artemis and sprung up so I was standing between him and Toby before Artemis was even off the floor.

A split second later Artemis was on his feet and fuming. “what the fuck Sakina!” he yelled “you just said that bastard is working for Tyson!”

I kept my expression calm but my body tense. “Artemis,” I used the same honey dripped tone I do on my human prey to calm them down and listen “you don’t understand I didn’t mean him”

“what the hell is that supposed to mean?” he said, slightly calmer

“the boy behind me has a brother, whose name is Toby.”

His expression hardened as he studied my face. He then relaxed more and took a deep breath, trying to reign in his temper. He opened his eyes and I felt the full intensity of his gaze.

“your lucky I trust you” he simply stated as he sat back down at my desk, so I could explain to him all the twists and turns on the sticky situation
