A rush of wind stirs, and suddenly Deke and Zee are ripping Kane off Heath who is a bloody mess of lifelessness.
"Is he-"
"No, but he's not far from," Zee interrupts. "Get Dray in here."
I don't know who Dray is, so how do I get him in here?
"Okay," Sierra answers from behind me, and then I realize his eyes weren't on me, but on her.
Kane fights the two of them, and for a second, I'm worried he really is going to break free and finish the job.
"Damn it, Kane! Let it be! You proved your point," Zee pleads.
"Obviously, I didn't, or he wouldn't have tried touching her again. Stupid mother fucker. He has no idea who he's fucking with."
I swear there was a low growl in his throat. I've never seen anyone so pissed in all my life.
I walk over to step in front of him, and my arms go around his waist without hesitation. I bury my head in his chest as I fight off the tears that have been teetering.
He stops fighting his friends, and then his arms wrap around me almost too tightly as he pulls me close, breathing me in.
"I'm sorry, baby. I had no idea he was here."
I shake my head, wanting his comfort instead of his guilt.
"I'm fine. He didn't-"
"This fool just doesn't know when to stop, does he?" a stranger asks as he comes into view.
"Thanks, Dray. I sort of lost it," Kane says through gritted teeth, not sounding apologetic at all.
"No worries," he says while swatting away the guilt exuding from Kane. "I'll get him patched up and then I'll ship him off to the hospital. This creep deserved much worse. See you after while."
Dray's eyes catch mine briefly, and he tilts his head, smirking slightly. Then he throws the bloody heap of a man over his shoulder, and leaves just as quickly as he came.
It's as if it's no big deal Kane almost killed a guy. Granted, Heath had it coming, but none of them seem very affected by the whole ordeal.
"We'll leave you to it," Sierra says as she ushers the guys out. "Sorry about this, Alyssa."
I start to speak, but the door closes before I can. Kane lifts me from the ground, his lips closing over mine as he carries me to the bed.
I give up on food and drink. I'm too tired to even try to process all the events from this horrid night.
Since the sun set, I played bait and nearly ended up being devoured by a fanged demon. I was saved by both of my enemies - dark user and night stalker. I tried breaking up with my boyfriend, told him I love him instead, had insanely hot sex, found a dungeon full of dark play toys, and I was nearly.... well, I don't even want to think about that last bit. Not to mention, I almost watched Kane kill a guy over me.
A shiver spreads over me as the soft bed swallows me up. Kane's arms tighten around my waist, and my eyes instantly feel too heavy to hold open.
Again, I feel... something, but I don't know what. I've got to get him out of this house. I think the dark energy is starting to affect his human mind.
Chapter Seventeen
"Kane," a voice whispers into what's left of the night, rousing me from my sleep.
I stay still as Kane stirs.
"What the fuck, Zee?" he whispers back.
"It's Amy... again. I don't know what we're going to do with her if she keeps this up. She's gone though, and we need your help."
