CHAPTER 77

  Bo

  Everything fucking hurt. It was like a truck ran into me and backed up several times, and maybe jumped on me a couple of times. I had to wonder if whatever the demon had torn out of me would regrow.

  "Bo," Amanda returned to me after her little shouting magic with the she-demon hanging out in the sky. She cradled my head in her lap and bent over me crying. Her tears fell like raindrops.

  "Hey," I greeted. I turned my face against her lap and cuddled against her. The sweet citrus scent of my mate enveloped me. I wished I could feel her emotions and my wolf whimpered at being parted from her.

  "Don't speak," she whispered. "I don't know what to do for you, Bo. You must be hurting so much and this is all my fault. If I'd never ran away..."

  I rolled my eyes at her. "That guy was after you regardless. He would have came in here eventually and killed more to get to you I bet. You can't blame everything on yourself."

  "But it was stupid," she argued back.
