The warlock appears. He pauses, frozen, glitching.He’s waiting for me to kill him.
Fuck. If I don’t, Carter doesn’t appear.
I stand up as the warlock disappears, and I see him running toward me again.
Lashing out with my claws I get rid of him quickly.
He falls to the ground, and the demon who looks like Carter appears in front of me.
I move down quickly, ending him with a slash of my claws across his throat.
He falls forward and I look up. The forest starts to fade, trees disappearing one by one.
I don’t wait for it all to be gone. I need to catch up to Rachel and Silas.
I run from the room, sprinting down the corridor as the forest fades away around me.
The bare floorboards under my feet make me smile, but I can still see carpet that looks like it belongs in our living room at the left side of the third floor.
Silas hasn’t found his demon yet. I guess I’d better help him.
Chapter Seventy-One
Silas
Ikindofregretthinking today couldn’t get any crazier. It could, and it did, and now it’s after midnight and I’m hunting down a demonic spirit with my mate in a corridor that looks like it belongs in our house. We open the door to every room. The first couple were empty. The third one wouldn’t open, but there was muddy water seeping out under the bottom, so we could guess what was stopping it.
“Are you doing okay?” Rachel asks.
“I’m with you, so, yeah. I’m doing good.”
I’m not sure if it’s my words or my smile that make her expression warm up.
“You’re so damn sweet,” she tells me, stopping to get on the tips of her toes and kiss my cheek.
I move my head, capturing her lips with mine, and taking the kiss I really want.
The demon’s probably already in the attic, and I don’t want to waste what might be my last moments on this earth looking for the damn thing, when I could be kissing my mate.
Rachel brings her arms up, drawing one around my neck and tugging me down a little more.
I turn and press her up against the wall, lifting her a bit higher.
She wraps her legs around me to keep from sliding down.
Fuck. This was a bad idea.
She feels too good like this. It makes me want more.
It turns my cock to steel, and it sharpens my teeth.
I want nothing more than to take my dick out of my pants and push her panties aside to let me in.
If we’re going to face hell’s ruler, I want it to be clear that she’s mine.
That means my cum dripping from her pussy, and my mark on her pretty throat.
I break the kiss, cursing under my breath.
