Chapter 242: No Torture

Rose stared at him, her heart breaking into pieces. "And I am human and you have to accept that. I could never make love with a warrior who tortured my colleagues."

He stared at her so long, she was giving up hope he'd ever compromise when he said, "I will torture bad humans," as if he offered a compromise.

"Let's agree to follow Morgan. He's our best chance of finding anything. You don't torture him or anybody else unless we both agree."

He stared at her with narrowed, pitch-black eyes, and then at last he nodded. She blew out the breath she'd been holding. She'd braced for another round of "I am the warrior and not you," but he nodded.

They got on the hoverbike and parked on the roof of the building opposite Morgan's. Hours later, Rose jumped off the machine and stretched. "Staking out is hard work."

He straightened. "We are going to stake Morgan?" He seemed quite happy with that idea.
