Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Trill's Escape

I didn't wait for an answer before firing off another. "Where's Sassafras?" I was already turning, heading for the exit.

"You have to stay," I said. "Galleytrot, watch over them, would you?" I gave Demetrius a gentle push. "Stay here." I met the big dog's eyes. "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him out of your sight."

He growled. "Not even for a moment."

Neither of us missed a beat, running for the front door. I opened it with magic, not bothering to knock, freezing as I passed the threshold to the sight of Sebastian standing over Trill, three vampires keeping her contained as he confronted her.
