Chapter 40: Between Heaven and Hell

*“Can you get back to your clinic, as quick as you can? I think there’s something we need to talk about.”*

Those words repeated in Lilith’s head as she paced back and forth, waiting for the front door to open. If what Roland said was true, and if Morgan was the one behind the murders…then….

Lilith shook her breath. The only way out now was to make Willow something more than human, and somehow, something quite less. She couldn’t fight her uncle the same way they had fought Moorehouse. Aside from the literal centuries of experience he had on her, he was still her uncle. He had saved her life, more than once.

She didn’t want to fight him, not for anything. Vampire or not, Headless Horseman or not, this was a line she didn’t want to cross.

And yet, if Willow refused…then….

Lilith shook her head. Perhaps she could run away…or…even break up with Willow to spare herself the pain.

Lilith’s frown only grew. She didn’t like either option very much.
