章節 140: Chapter 140: Voodoo

Everything inside Larz froze. He turned to face his leader. "Allow me to claim her. I will present myself for punishment afterward. It is a warrior's right to take his breeder's punishment."

"She tried to hurt The Zyrgin's breeder. We know she is a spy, planted in the camps. Sarah told us of her evil nature. Marcie must die."

"Would you be able to stand by and see Natalie killed? Even if she was a spy?"

Silence. Larz and Zacar stared at each other, both of them ignoring Marcie's shrill demands to be let go.

"No," Zacar said at last.

Silence settled over the infirmary at Zacar's quiet admission. Even Marcie stopped demanding to be let go in her shrill voice.

Larz stared at Zacar, refusing to back down. "She's mine. She'll always be mine."

"You want her enough to give up everything?"

"Yes."

Zacar stepped back. "Sleep with your weapons where she can't get at them."

Larz nodded. "That is good advice."
