She turned her back on him, afraid that if she looked him in the eyes he might do something to hurt her, but she heard him moving away and let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully he would listen and stay away. Hopefully her alpha would return too, and she could leave these weird people and just be with what remained of her pack.

"She's annoying," Agony said to Dara as he reached her. "First she hits me with a plank of wood and now she refuses my attempts to help her. He'd better be wrong about her. I don't like her very much."

"Oh for goodness sake, the poor girl's world has just been turned upside down," Dara hissed under her breath. "Her father's dead, her mother doesn't know her, and she's just lost her pack. For someone who's gone through all that, she's doing the best she can. She's certainly doing better than you did, Agony. She didn't just get up and run off when the shit hit the fan. She's stayed and she's protecting those she loves. So cut her a little slack. She's never come across anyone like you before, and the girl is still human too."

Agony growled, displeasure crossing his face. "You know, I'm getting tired of women thinking it's acceptable to tell me off all of the time."

"Then stop acting like an ass and maybe we wouldn't," she quipped back, giving him a saccharine sweet smile. "We need to work out what to do, Agony. Clearly, I intend to come to Romania with you, but we can't just leave Ava and Pippa alone here and I don't think they can go with the vampires. I'm going to call Rafe and see what advice he has. I need to check in and let him know you're okay anyway. If you could please not dismember, kill, or upset anyone while I'm doing it I'd really appreciate it."

"Fine...we'll do things your way for now. It is part of my agreement with Kothari to listen to you, but don't think that means I am going to do everything you say, Dara. Make your call and then we need to start moving. The longer we delay here, the more chance there is of something happening to my parents."

Agony's admission was a surprise but not a bad one. So he was in dominance only because Kothari had allowed him to be. That gave Dara some comfort, and would be positive news to give to Rafe. There was still the issue of just who would be going to Romania with them, but she felt a little more in control of the situation, now that Agony was being more reasonable. Pulling out her phone, she hit the first speed dial button and waited for the call to connect.

To Anon - it is perfectly possible, and even common, to both love and be annoyed as hell with someone. It is especially common with overprotective males.

"Overprotective males," she sighed "The bane of every woman's existence".

Yeah that's why a woman writes story after story after story about them and other women read them and cream their pants. Makes total sense. lol.

Thank You! Another great chapter.

Aargh! I liked it better before I caught up. Now I have to wait for each chapter.

If it wasn't so good the wait wouldn't be so bad. But that doesn't mean I want you to get sloppy! I love your writing as it is!

Keep the great chapters coming.

So I have been re-reading....,

The dark force that is behind this discord...., I wonder if it has to do with a preceived wrong? I just re-read about Elijah and a performed ritual..., and in truth I am just guessing cause it is fun. Lol. Jaz, your work is wonderful and I can't believe I still cry over stories that I have read time and time again. The emotion is there and the intrigue is there. I am going back in to theorize, ponder and just take a familiar journey. Thanks for what you do. Be well.

Interesting...

I think Tali will trigger all kinds of things..., and yes, reaper comes to mind. But now I am starting to think Kothi's balance will come from Liam. Liam was the first to hear Agony as a child..., and I am thinking as an adult he maybe able to tap into Agony's psyche. His need for acknowledgement and therefore acceptance. Maybe? Agony marches to his own drum in his mind but I think all people want to be known for themselves. Just pondering. I am keyed up and waiting for the Battle Royale. I think there will be a lot of surprises. I also think the Queen & King will know and acknowledge that Kothi/Agony is what is needed in the moment and also they will resolve Kothi/Agony/Panther's co-existence. Besides, they are gonna be Pippa's new dad. Who has time for killing sprees when your daughter needs you and you are trying to impress your mate who for the most part doesn't like you. HA!

This is the late night madness that occurs when you type "To be continued..."

Can't wait for another chapter. Thanks for this.
