CHAPTER 82

  Amanda

  "I need a nap," I whispered. I stumbled away from the group and back into the house. I would try to lie down and figure out all this craziness. I knew what had to happen but I was terrified of it.

  How was I supposed to handle all of this? One of my children could very well wipe out everything that I wanted in life unless he found his mate, and I had another missing.

  No, not missing. She had been taken, kidnapped and handed over as a bounty. What had the demons been given to give her up so easily? They could have used her as leverage against us.

I had to face him, but the very thought of it made me feel I was walking on pins and needles. One wrong step or move and he'd have me in his grip again. I wouldn't be able to endure it.
