“Aiden smirked. "Wonder what this one is called?"
The hellhound's ears twitched as the massive body lowered preparing for attack. I slid my hand to the middle of the blade, feeling my heart pound and the adrenaline kick my system into overdrive. In the pit of my stomach, the cord started to unravel.
I swallowed. "Let's call this one... Toto."
Three mouths opened in a growl that sent a cold chill down my spine, and a wave of hot, fetid breath smacked into us. Bile burned the back of my throat.
"I guess it doesn't like the name," I said, moving slowly to the right.
Aiden's powerful body tensed. "Here, Toto..." One head snapped in his direction. "That's a good Toto."
I slipped around the ancient cross, creeping up on the hellhound from the right. The middle and left head focused on me, snapping and growlying.
Aiden clucked his tongue. "Come on, Toto, I'm pretty tasty.”

“I dragged myself to my feet, and with my hellhound in tow started off once more through the fastness of the wood, feeling, as the poet did before me, that my companion would be with me through the nights and through the days and down the arches of the years, and I should never be rid of him.”

“Where are we heading?â€�
“The closest wooded area to here is Kenwood Academy’s estate. Good place to hide, especially at night.�
“If we’re going into the woods, I definitely need to change.�
I glanced back at her as we returned to the curb where the cab had dropped us off. “Or you could just go home.�
She crossed her arms and avoided my gaze, scowling. “You’re sick of me already? That must be a record.�
I lifted my eyes to the heavens. Women. “This creature tore out a woman’s throat and busted her chest cavity open like a piñata. I don’t like the thought of it being anywhere near you.�
“Did it ever occur to you that I feel the same way?�
Surprise flooded over me. “No, it…actually didn’t.�
“I know I’m not as strong or as smart as you are, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help. We’re partners, aren’t we?�
“Yeah,� I said, and couldn’t stop the smile creeping across my lips. “I guess we are.�
She tossed a quick look at me and frowned. “Quit it.�
“W³ó²¹³Ù?â€�
“I hate it when you do that.�
“You hate it when I smile?�
“No, when you make that, ‘aw, she does have a heart� face. You look like a Disney prince.�
I laughed. “My bad. I’ll work on that.”

“Woe to the soul which God rejoiceth to punish! . . . . Is it not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shal lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them; when they shall cry out for mercy, yea, for one drop of water, and God shall mock them instead of relieving them; when non in heaven or earth can help them but God, and hell shall rejoice over them in their calamity(244)?”

“There's a lot I want to say," Aisling said, breaking into his thoughts.

Xaneth glanced at her, "I'm listening."

"I mean after. It's important. You're going to want to hear it. That means you have to be around when this shite is finished."

He felt his lips curve into a smile. That's what Aisling did. She was the light penetrating the deepest of nights, showing him a way out. "A long conversation, then?”
― Donna Grant, Dark Alpha's Fury

“There are things I'd like to say to you, too."

"After."

"Of course." He smiled.”
