The Witch's Beauty
Page 14
*****
Not surprisingly, Lilith was greatly inconvenienced by yet another one of her transplant heirs finding love and happiness. But this one was especially galling.
“Arabella Crowe’s son has his hooks in her. She will never pick my side over his.”
“Well, never say never,” Delphine said. “However, the situation is very close to never. I’m afraid you’ll have to count Lorna out.”
“What a waste. Such beauty could have been put to good use.”
“I think her beauty will be put to good use. Just not to your use.”
“That leaves three others. One of them has already provided assistance to Arabella’s son. Worse, every single one of them has been compromised by the distractions of love. You should do more to discourage it.”
“I will try to encourage Dr. Svenson to find someone next who is both needy of organ and unlovable. He may be hard to persuade though. After all, the man is a newlywed and is doubtless spreading propaganda about the glories of love. You are outnumbered, Lilith. Did you never fall in love?”
“That is a fairytale and a weakness. Of course, I had favorites. There was . . . one . . . whom I allowed to remain for quite some years. For my own benefit, of course.”
“Of course. Did you allow him to keep his memory of you? You did, didn’t you? Just when I thought nothing could surprise me.”
“Well, he was greatly cheered by the memory, and it did me no harm.”
“Softie.”
Lilith departed in an exasperated huff. The sole purpose of her existence now was to find and punish whoever had killed her. Her vengeance was a sharp blade, and there wasn’t going to be anything soft about it.
