| The Whole Truth

"Consider that a warning." Ezra sneered at Sara. "What did he tell you about himself? Why did he say we were hunting him?"

"He said someone put a spell on him and made him kill against his will."

He laughed and looked at Ryder's kneeling form. "Is that what you told her?"

Suddenly, he was back in Sara's face.

"I can tell you the truth. The dog knew someone had put the spell on him before the party. He simply didn't do anything to keep himself away from my family. All because my sister rejected him for another. Oh, sure, my sister's ex-boyfriend cast the spell on Ryder for revenge for sleeping with her, but did you think he couldn't feel it? He wanted my sister dead too – for rejecting him. He should not have come to that dinner that night because he knew he would kill everybody."

"You're lying!" Sara screamed.

He grinned broadly, exposing his razor-sharp fangs.
