Chapter 28

“Where did you get that?” He reared back, not wanting to touch it.

She pursed her lips but didn’t answer. “Make a small cut and feed him some blood at the same time as you suck some off him.”

Archie swallowed, afraid he’d retch if he had to taste blood.

“One swallow, Archie. You’re willing to die for him, but not swallow a little blood?”

He blew out a breath, rolled up the sleeve of his shirt and held out his arm. “Cut me.”

She did it so fast he didn’t have time to yank the arm away. The sting came as quickly as the blood did. Edie grabbed his arm and pulled him over to Gael, a drop landing on his chin before she got the cut close to his mouth. “You want neck or arm?”

Archie pulled a face.

“Stop it.” She let go of his bleeding arm and sliced a small cut on Gael’s neck.

“Don’t hurt him!”

Edie rolled her eyes. “Take a sip. Maybe he’s like a fine wine.”

Archie filled his lungs, stared at the almost black blood oozing from the cut on Gael, and swallowed down the bile rising.
