Tyson crosses his arms over his chest, anger reflecting in his eyes. For a moment, I stop breathing. If not for the bond letting me know how much he loves me, I would be inclined to believe that all his anger is for me. This is how he used to look at me before Ansel showed him the videos. It seems like a lifetime ago, but I don't think I'll ever forget the hate he had for me. The line between love and hate is so thin it's easy to cross it without even knowing it.

"It's Lords' stuff," Tyson snarls, letting me know he doesn't want to talk about what he and the others did at the cabin. Too bad, because I'm not quite done.

I turn my attention to Ansel because I'm more than sure that Rueben won't tell me anything. "What did Maddox ever do to deserve to be hunted like an animal? Or his blood-brothes?" Not that animals deserve to be chased around either. Ansel's eyes flash scarlet. "He went too far. He should have known when to stop."

It's so frustrating that the guys decided to hide things from me.

What did Maddox and his blood-brothers do to deserve the hate of so many Lords? The few times I met him, he didn't give me the impression that he was capable of harming others. Looks can be deceiving, but Maddox is a doctor. Aren't doctors supposed to be good?

Angel screams again. "You locked two men in the Catacombs and buried another alive!?"

"Not so loud," one of her men raises his voice just as much as her.

My eyebrows shoot up. Tyson mutters under his breath, "We gave him a straw to breathe through. He will live."

"Really? A straw? Are you mentally ill?" I hiss.

Tyson snorts softly. "Let me know what sane man would ever want to become a vessel to a demon and swear loyalty to Hell and all his fellow Lords? Killing enemies has been a stress reliever so far."
