Mencharies blood, as Web specifically said that Mencharies cannot come. Cat did her best. Denise saved Nathaniel, who is human now, and sentenced herself to being a demonic shifter.
They got married twice. Cat, Bones, Ian, Mencharies, and Alten as vamps and regular. No one in the vamp world would recognize the marriage, but he don't care. Maybe that can change?
Onto Mencharies and Kira!
Thanks library!

I knew it!!! Spade was NOT Ian's.
Ian had been too weak after Bones. So Mencharies did it even tho Spade didn't want him too??? That's messed up. Even if he had visions.
Denise would have drank from Spade to extend her life and remain human. Spade was happy and ilu! He was w Gresidla for a year before she died. She didn't want to turn. Mencharies comes w Web news. Trade. Spade came up w the idea for Cat tp drink

Denise was embarrassed but Spade is like, eh, another Tuesday, really. Bones, Ian and Spade discuss it all. Nathaniel thinks Spade is a hero come to save him. They need a way to kill Raum, after he took the brands off. Ian was jelly of their wives being so unique. Whelp...just wait for Vertias, sweetheart. Spade and Denise argue over her refusal to turn. He walked out; she cried. :(

Claws to get free of Web, but she was too freaked out that Nathaniel helped her shift. Into a lil kitty cat. Awe! Not fun for Spade. Went to Hungary. Where Bones had been during the last book. Where Cat left? His sire had a house. Ian met them. I still think he is not Spade's sire. Nathaniel helped Spade understand how to coax Denise back. He fed her, then petted, then talked. She returned and ran away.

Spade turned Alten 80yrs ago. Cat confessed that she no longer has fire power. Spade says- bluff.
Two vamps waiting w Denise, told her of Giselda's fate. She refused or hadn't turned yet. Spade was w his sire ( and Bones) dealing w a conflict. Told her to wait. Weeks passed, he said he was coming, but she left instead. He found her dead body. But it's cool- Denise will change! She had been crying. Denise used her

He is right. He let Bones go re the Cat stuff. Also, i think Mencheres made Spade; not Ian. Yet, he says that Ian did even tho Spade didn't want that. I stg, Mencheres is his sire. Hm.
Drunk Ian is hilarious. I am so mad that Libby doesn't have this. He got the lowdown that Nate was about but Web is suspicious. They will have to move sooner. Cat had been a full vamp for months.

Bones arrived fighting mad. But was shocked to see that Spade loved Denise. And dropped that Denise had a miscarriage after Randy died. Another reason she left their world. Spade was sorry but still hoped she would turn.
Cat, Fabs and Ian arrive later w Bones. Spade punched Ian into the water. They argue. Ian states that 4 ppl mean the world to him
He knows what he is, but he would never f around w their lives.

Alten was the first to assume that Denise would turn. Spade took her to dance. He married for money, she married for his title. But father was a gambling addict. Lost money. Wife left. Father banged a duchess whose husband he owed money. Jail. Spade begged for the debt to be his. Father drank to death two years later. Spade going to Australia cos of him was humiliating. Bones had boned the ex wife. Course. They had

Spade admitted to himself that he loves her after she jokingly said it. Ian told Bones that Spade was w Denise and acting weirdly. Bones called for an explanation. Spade wouldn't tell, just it's consensual and bugger off. Bones was not amused or going to back down.
Denise was still grappling w her feelings and wanting to protect Spade. They know who has Nathaniel.
