Jasmine grumbled and smirked at the foolish demon, "Saved by the bell, jackass." Ignoring the useless demon cowering on the ground, Jasmine pulled out the mobile phone and lifted her brows as she read the name flashing across the screen. She snapped the phone open and pressed it to her ear.

"Garnarld, tell me you have good news." He didn’t. Her already strained temper threatened to combust as she listened to his stumbling, bumbling confession of capturing Rhye by mistake.

"God, I’m surrounded by morons," she gritted, her mind already sifting through the implications of this latest mess. "Where are you?"

He offered hesitant directions, clearly not overly anxious about their impending meeting. Which proved he wasn’t entirely stupid. "You'd better hope I can use this to my advantage, fool, or I'll eat your heart for breakfast," she warned before disconnecting the call and shoving the phone back into her pocket. Reaching down, she grasped the cringing demon by the hair and yanked him to

    She saw a woman in a white power suit got into her sports vehicle and sped down the street. A senior citizen swept his front porch. A curious child put his face to the window. There wasn't a beastie to be found among them. Lily stood up straight and sprinted across the street, knowing it was now or never. Skirting the shop, she let her nose guide her to the kitchen window, pushing up the sash a few inches to breathe in the many scents. She frowned at the enticing aromas. Oh my God. Rhye hadn’t been wrong when he accused Garnarld of hexing his food. Even with her immunity to the magic, she could feel her mouth watering in response. Damn demons. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on sorting through the various teas, bread, pastries, and candies. At last, she caught and held the scent of chocolate butter fudge. As she had hoped, the smell was distinctive. Rich, creamy chocolate butter with a hefty dose of demon magic. Which meant that she wouldn’t mistake it for any other fudge that se

    "Milady, please... Help me. I didn't betray you." Elfy grumbled under his breath. "You took my amulet," Lily replied. Stupid elf, he had her amulet, the reason she hadn’t sensed the bastard when she’d first approached the cabin. "Milady," he rasped, struggling against the heavy chains that held him. "Surprise, Elfy? I told you I'd find you and that you couldn't get away from me. Reaching out, Lily ripped the amulet from the leather thong around Elfy’s neck and tucked it into her pocket. Immediately, the cabin was filled with the overpowering smell of elves, while her scent disappeared. "Go now! Milady, save yourself." “And leave you behind again and let you sell my head to my enemy?" "No, Madam. They will kill you." Elfy shook his head. Wasn’t that convenient? Her smile widened with wicked pleasure. "Of course, at the time, I didn’t expect Francisco to be so rude as to steal my pet and hide him from me. I hope they didn’t break you, Elfy. I thought I could trust you." Sweat bl

    "Garnarld took him. I need to know where he went." Lily muttered with annoyance. "How would I know? I was here, chained to death." The elf smirked but screamed when she pushed the dagger a little deeper. "Worthless, elf. You think I'm kidding here?" she muttered, abruptly realizing that was the perfect word to describe this sorry excuse for a pet. Elfy was a weak, greedy fool who offered nothing to the world. He didn’t even make a decent pet. Her grip tightened on the handle of the dagger, her bitter, choking thirst for revenge somehow lessened by the thought. It was as if she’d just hauled the boogeyman out of the closet and discovered he was nothing more than a spineless slug. Elfy quivered as she unwittingly dug the knife deeper. "Shit that hurts. Watch that thing. Damn it! Stop!" In answer, Lily leaned forward, her expression ruthless. She’d pressed her luck far enough. It was time to get the information she’d come for. "Again…This is my last question. And believe me when I

    The sun was painting the horizon with its last fading rays when Lily struggled to shake the painful cobwebs out of her head. Freaking hell. She felt as if she’d been hit by a cement truck. At last, ignoring the bursts of agony in the back of her head, she forced open her reluctant eyes. Well, sh*t. She should have kept them closed.Not that pretending this was all a horrible nightmare would change the fact that she was currently tied to a tree with chains that held enough silver to sap her strength and leave raw burns on her skin. Or that she’d been moved from the cabin to one of the small islands covered in trees and underbrush that dotted the middle of the river. Still fuzzy, Lily watched as Francisco stepped out of the canvas tent stuck in the center of the small clearing.She swallowed her instinctive growl. Damn the bastard. It was bad enough he’d given her a headache from hell and tied her to a tree like some sort of animal, but she’d been in la-la land the entire afternoon. She

    "A deal? But why and for what, Francisco?" Lily asked. The demon just smirked and threw his hands in the air dismissively. He may not be so powerful now, but Lily could see the resignation and chase away the brittle arrogance, offering the first genuine glimpse of the weak demon. She should remember how cunning and smart the man was. He knew how to play his cards so well that he managed to convince her before. "Oh, believe me, Livia, I’m weary of this suicide mission. I mean, I got tired of recreating myself from the way it was before. I'm exhausted from running. Not to mention being Jasmine’s whipping boy," he confessed, his voice harsh. "My men no longer respect me, as they did before because I am not strong enough to fight one." Or maybe I just want to go back to my realm. The underworld is my place, but for now, I know I can't go back there. So, I need a truce. I need Dimitri and his council." Lily thought the man surely knew how to make himself believable. He was so dramatic th

    Lily frowned at the thought of that weird rip in a magical spell that Stephen would conjure and open a magic connection in someone’s head. It felt surreal and otherworldly. "The little demon can do that, I know, but..." she halted, "Why not use a fucking phone? It's way easier and less weird."Francisco scoffed, "And risk the humans finding out about our kind? Hell no. Those FBI agents have high-tech things. I don't want to be a lab rat."Lily raised her brows.Francisco regarded her with a hint of surprise as if startled she could be so clueless."Stephen is not going to open a physical portal. More like a wireless connection. You know... modern type but with the use of his demon magic. They have this sort of connection. Master and pet connections. Which means it can’t be overheard or traced even by magical means."Lily nodded and absently lifted her hand to stroke the amulet hung around her neck. "No one will know about this call except the three of us and Dimitri.""Paranoid much?"

    "Is that you?" Alpha Rhye breathed and shook his head as if he couldn't believe it. "That scent... I’ve smelled it before. You-" "Yes." With a frown, Lily stepped forward, as if to touch him. "Easy… there." Rhye took a quick step back, understanding that he was far from safe. Just as he knew that something would break inside him if he accidentally hurt her. "Stay back...woman. I can't control myself… I-" he growled, as if sensing the threat pulsing in the air, the female stood flawlessly still, her expression discomforted. "It's me. You remember me, right? I’m here to help you," she mumbled softly. "Rhye, we don’t have much time. I managed to slip past the demon on patrol, but without the amulet, they’ll soon catch my fragrance and come to investigate." Rhye howled, his fangs aching. Demon. Garnarld. Yes. He’d always hated the bastards. "Where is he?" She frowned. "What? Who?" He snapped his teeth with tension. "Never mind. I will find them on my own. I will kill him." Whirlin

    "Hell…" Lily grumbled to herself.Friendly fire wasn’t just a human danger. If she were accidentally injured, the foolish alpha would hold himself responsible forever. So, ignoring the desperate urge to rush up the stairs and make certain Rhye didn’t allow his blind rage to get himself killed by the demon guards and feral werewolves she’d slipped past only a short time ago, Lily hovered near the bottom of the stairs, clutching the dagger and hating the feeling of helplessness. Thank the gods that the marks from Francisco’s damned silver chains had already healed. At the time, she had been infuriated that it had taken so long for Stephen to convince Dimitri to meet with the stupid Francisco and talk about his truce. She might sympathize with the council leader's reluctance to strike a bargain with an out-and-out traitor, demon Francisco, but Lily's only concern was being released so she could get to Rhye.And of course, there had been many wasted minutes as she’d argued with Stephen.

    Shock at what she’d done had barely begun to flicker through her mind when she felt something heavy and oppressive build within her. A sudden, sharp pain in her chest had her crying out as something foreign inside her pulled tight, stretching like a rubber band. Oh, god, it hurts. It felt like every atom of her being was being simultaneously crushed and pulled to its breaking point. The foreign sensation grew stronger and heavier until it felt like she was being ripped apart. The agony was unreal. She tried to scream her pain, but her chest was caving in, and she couldn’t breathe. It was gathering her power. She could feel it, like a thorned vine, latching onto the tendrils; she could feel it squeezing them, choking them. With a violent, agonising wrench, it yanked her power back into her, the cold, burning pain of it tearing a ragged shriek from her throat. Like a hand swatting a fly, the whiplash of it folded her body in half and sent her hurtling toward the floor. Strong arms

    Thighs clenching at the feel of it, so erotically foreign, yet so right, she writhed between kisses and moaned. In response, Rhye coils his tail around her leg, guiding her to widen her stance. He slipped a thigh between her legs at the same moment he cupped her breasts, as he sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Moaning in delight... "Oh, God..." Livia growled.The multitude of sensations had her crying out into Rhye’s mouth. Pressing her breasts into his hands, she ground down against his thigh, needing the pressure where she was so wet and swollen for him.Like an extra set of arms, she felt him wrap his majestic tail around her, enclosing her in a cocoon of warmth, safety, and need. Even with her eyes closed, she knew he didn’t surround her completely. She didn’t have to wonder why. The knowledge that he’d left a gap so she could breathe and her inner demon could watch unimpeded had a new rush of wetness slicking her core. It was like she had been transported to a different dimensio

    That was enough to snap her out of the trance.Unsure if she was more freaked out about being hypnotized by a fucking tail, or charmed that it seemed to like her, she pet it in return, carefully stroking a fingertip lightly over the spade tip.If it were possible, her eyes would have widened even more at the shiver working through Rhye.Did he like that?Oh, how she wanted to play and find out.Soon, it retreated, and Livia marvelled at all three men as she really, truly realised that they weren’t humans. They were predators and, unlike humans, had the features necessary to both lure in prey and kill it. Joseph’s eyes, Rhye’s tail—they were all mesmerising."Like cuttlefish," she muttered under her breath.Rhye zeroed in on her and cocked his head. "What’s that?""Oh, nothing." Peering up at Rhye, she prompted, "You wanted to ask something earlier?"The alpha gave her a look that said he knew she was intentionally redirecting the conversation but that he was going with it. "How did it

    The words escaped without thought, but she didn’t have the mental capacity to regret them, even when the room was suddenly full of low, masculine laughter."Does that mean you think I’m pretty, too?" Leon rumbled, his eyes, now a vivid purple, sparkling—literally sparkling—as though they were dotted with a thousand tiny stars.His voice had already been deep, but now it was even more so. The gravelly, bass sound vibrated through her like distant thunder but was also creepy at the same time, but Livia didn't show how scared she was of the two-headed wolf. There was something about Leon's wolf that made her shiver with fear. He was something else. There was darkness in him, and she could see it. Livia paused, seeing a vision of Leon killing Joseph in the subway, while Rhye was unconscious on his side. Livia gasped; anger settled over her, and rage throbbed in her like a heartbeat. Leon creeped into Joseph... He would kill him. Livia could feel it... She didn't have a choice but to use h

    Livia frowned. She picked up on that apparently being a bad thing easily enough, but why he thought she would care was beyond her. When she voiced as much, he just blinked at her like she’d stunned him speechless; at first, she was sure.Peering between the two of them, she took in the tense set of their shoulders and the tightness in their expressions that lingered, despite her assurance that she didn’t care about their lack of purity.Deciding to fix the problem she’d inadvertently caused, Livia smiled softly at them. "I don’t care if you’re pure or as mixed as milk and coffee, but I’ve obviously stepped on a sore point, so I rescind my invitation." Hoping to lighten the mood, she ended with a haughty sniff and an imperious wave of her hand.Joseph’s eyes narrowed to suspicious slits. "Well! Now that you don’t want to see, I want to show you. What is this witchery?"Leon made a low sound and nodded, mimicking Joseph’s suspicious expression, though his grey eyes were dancing with amu

    Speechless, Livia gaped at the beautiful monster before her. Drawn like a moth to a flame, she took a step closer, wanting, needing to see him, to touch him. She managed a single step before Rhye cursed, eyes wide and dark brows furrowed, as he stared down at himself."How the fuck did you do that?" he demanded, pinning her with a stunned look.God, but his eyes were unreal. Vibrant, ocean deep blue with a sunburst of bright green around the pupils. They were the eyes of a predator. Eyes of a pureblood alpha. She wanted to get lost in them, wanted to stare into them until she’d mapped every facet."I have no idea," she admitted with a slow shake of her head. At the disbelieving expression he gave her, she tried to think past the shock of seeing him and explained, "The heat of your power was starting to get painful, and then, all of a sudden, it felt like mine got pissed off and threw yours back at you.""You shouldn’t be capable of that," Rhye muttered, but it was said almost absently

    The memory of the creepy, child-looking demon and the sensation of it sucking the power out of her, remembering how weak she’d felt afterward, sent a shiver down her spine and hardened her resolve. All her martial arts and self-defense training had been useless against the thrall it had used on her. She’d spent too long and worked too hard to not be a victim to give up on this now. Rhye smirked at her for the second time that day, setting a new record. His eyes shone with approval at the resolve in hers. “I can force your power out of you. If you’ll allow me to try,” he tacked on at the end. Livia appreciated the effort he was making to be more polite, now he knew she wasn’t a spy sent to surveil them. She just wasn’t sure how to react to this new Rhye. He’d gone from cold and dangerous to interested and almost nice. Almost. It was a jarring change. Seductive, dangerously enticing, and intriguing as hell, but still jarring. Livia glanced at them, gauging their reactions to his of

    Cocking her head, Livia frowned at him. "I don’t understand." Her eyes went wide as it hit her. "Oh my god, I get it. So, if they make vampires popular in movies and books, demons will become stronger because more humans are glorifying them. Same for witches and werewolves and everything else, yes?""Exactly.""Holy shit. I wonder how much I affected them in my Twilight phase as a kid."Joseph growled, "Those fucking movies! The "vampire" and "werewolf" demons were out of control. The "underworld demons" were pissed. They’d been top dogs for most of what"—he glanced at Leon—"like the last thousand years?""Mm, thereabouts, yes.""Wait. Did I hear you say ‘top dogs’?" she asked, ignoring the twilight thing in favor of something more important."Yes, but now anymore," Leon nodded.“Spiteful little fuckers, really. And always hungry!” Joseph pointed to a few thin white scars crisscrossing the back of his hand, scars she’d somehow never noticed before. “They like people meat, and they are

    "As Joseph said, it’s not exclusively a torture chamber, and it’s not used as such all that often. Only when we’re left with no other recourse," Rhye soothed with a small smile.Her gentle giant, the man who touched her with such tenderness and care, was talking about torturing people with about the same amount of contrition as confessing he didn’t always take the time to recycle.That wasn’t actually what shocked her, though. She knew they were on the dark grey side of the morality scale.When she continued to frown at him, he lifted a hand and cupped her cheek, looking suddenly unsure. "Does that bother you, Livia? Would it help to know we don’t hurt the innocent?"Rhye was very still at her back, she noticed. He hadn’t pulled away from her physically, but she could sense him closing off, could almost feel him pulling the cold, unfeeling mask back into place.Joseph, who’d strolled farther into the room, snorted. "Of course she knows that!" He stopped walking when she didn’t immedia
