"Are you sure this is the best way to go about this?
" I ask, already knowing the answer. With the limited amount of time we have to plan, and the fact that Kory's sweet, innocent looks will keep the buyer at ease, there's not any other way we could take.
I already know Mason is going to raise a stink about having our mate do this, but I know Kory trusts me to have his back.
He'll agree to help. No one needs Morningstar Blood out in the wild.
In the right dosage, it can temporarily boost a demon's power, but too much can kill a demon.
A lot of things can send a demon back to the Hell realms, but few things can actually send them to an eternal death.
What most people don't know is, with the right ritual, Morningstar Blood can also turn a being into a demon.
The last thing we need is some human on a power trip trying to create their own personal demon army.
"We have the best chance of catching the mastermind behind this botched robbery by sending Kory in. He's not intimidating, but most importantly, he knows the idiots chained up in my basement and how they operate. If any questions come up, Kory is more likely to be able to bs his way through it."
"It's too bad the meet is scheduled at Midnight Kiss. Otherwise, we could go in powers blazing and speed things along."
"Tell me about it. But the club is neutral territory, and I'm not about to get on Fortune's bad side. Isadora would hand me my ass if I drew unwanted attention to the pack," Jericho says.
"My sister is not that scary, wolf," Ravock says, rolling his eyes.
"Before we risk getting off track, let's finalize everything with Kory. We only have two days until the meet. Talking Mason into letting Kory do this may take the entire time," I say.
"Mason will do what I tell him," Jericho replies. "After keeping you a secret for so long, and walking out on you, he's got a lot to answer for, and no room to be challenging me or my orders."
There are consequences to every choice. I only wish Mason wasn't on the outs with his Alpha.
All I've ever wanted since our mating is to have him give us a chance.
I never wanted to come between him and his family.
But there will be time to deal with personal issues later.
Right now, we need to make sure there isn't a rogue demon uprising.
