Rafe gazed at the liquid in his glass as he weighed the unspoken words. He didn’t need to be in Aislin’s mind to know what she wanted to say. His own stable currently consisted of only three feeders and they were perfectly broken in to his desires. Lending them out to only be broken full stop did not appeal to him but neither did losing business. “Send three trackers to Toronto. Give them to Monday’s sunrise to bring back one suitable feeder each.” They would know the type of person best suited for the life as they would already be closely living it on the streets or in a struggling existence that would soon put them on the streets.
“As to Malachite,” Rafe took another drink and considered his little gemstone and where he was in his progress. “He’s focused on bringing in the friend he deals the stronger doses of V to. She’s important to him and I’m allowing him a bit longer to get her in here as I have faith in his stance she would be what we need.” There was a chance she would be little more than a blood whore like the others but Malachite’s loyalty to his found family and a desire to do right by them all had Rafe invested in this girl. However, it was dragging out and he needed Malachite’s focus on other tasks as well. He would soon step in and visit this Jade himself and compel her if needed. With the amount of V she seemed to take regularly, it would be easy to call on his blood and the bond forged between them to find her.
“And do not ask me when his time is coming. He is young yet and still has much to offer us as he currently is.” Rafe had promised the boy on their first meeting that if he worked hard, proved himself, and never caused even an ounce of distrust, he would be Turned. Rafe was many things but an oath-breaker he was not. Malachite would be Turned when the time was right and it currently was not.
