Nobody else in the pack had connections to demons, except me, which meant that I had to go see that dreadful woman who forced me to call her mother down in the demon sector of Durnbone. I hadn’t seen her in years now.
After finding my way to a demon club that she attended frequently, I gritted my teeth, cursed myself out, and stepped into the building. Fire burned through the first room, the flames licking the ceiling and the heat hotter than fucking hell. It ensured that only demons stepped into this space; no other species were allowed.
Once I walked through the fucking fire that seared the edges of my clothes, I opened a heavy metal door and stepped into The Inferno. Demons in their truest forms sauntered around the room, their horns out and lengthened and their eyes a piercing red.
Some incubi danced with women, others with corpses. A group of wrathful demons threw knives at innocent slaves to see who could kill them first. I gritted my teeth and scanned the room forher.
When I caught my mother sitting near the back with a glass of blood in her hand, she looked over at me almost as if she sensed—or smelled—my presence.
I made a beeline toward her, grabbed the man flirting with her, and shoved him out of his seat. “We need to talk.”
She placed her glass down on the glass coffee table, crossed one leg over the other, and smirked at me. “My son, it’s been too long. Four years already?”
“Cut the fucking shit. I’m not here to forgive you. I need answers.”
“Answers?” she asked, arching a sharp brow. “About what?”
“The same fucking thing I wanted answers to four years ago,” I growled, attracting the attention of some demons. Usually, I could blend right into this crowd, but not when my canines grew three times the length of theirs and I couldn’t stop my wolf from coming out. “What do you know about Sina’s father?”
Rolling her eyes, she picked up her glass and took another sip. “I know nothing.”
“Don’t give me that fucking bullshit,” I growled through my canines. “Where the fuck is he? I know you fucking know something, and I know you know what he did to her for her entire life, don’t you?”
While my mother kept up a harsh expression, I could tell that she knew exactly what I was talking about. She might’ve been hard for others to read, but she was an open fucking book to me. Mostly because I hated her.
“I know you blame me for her and her father’s disappearance, but I can assure you that I know nothing,son.”
Even her mere voice made me want to kill her.
“Let’s get one thing fucking straight,” I said, smacking the glass table and shattering it to pieces. “I didn’t blame you for Sina’s disappearance. I blamed you for not trying to help me find her after she left.”
She had the fucking senses to sniff outanyscent better than a wolf. She had powers far greater than almost any other demon around. She was one of the highest-ranked demons in all of Durnbone. She could’ve found them.
“But you didn’t want me to find her, did you?” I let out a lifeless laugh. “You’re working with him.”
Instead of denying everything I had said, my mother took a sip of another drink and sat back on the plush white couch. I gritted my teeth and balled my fists, the fire burning from my palms. I wanted to end her life right fucking now.
But if I tried anythinghere, the other demons would kill me.
“Why does Sina interest you so much?” my mother asked.
“Because she’s my mate.”
She rolled her eyes. “You and your father with all that mating crap.”
Knowing that I wouldn’t get much out of her, I leaned forward and watched her carefully. “What do you know about Jaroth?”
Suddenly, my mother choked on the fucking drink she sipped. While she quickly recovered from it, I ached to force more down her sick throat so she’d fucking die already. Demons lived for centuries longer than humans, and I didn’t want to wait that long to seemy dear fucking mothergo.
“What are you going on about now?”
“Who is he?”
“He’s nobody important.”
“A rumor has been floating around that he’s going to be the next ruler of demons,” I said, tilting my head and finally feeling as if I had one-upped her.
I didn’t know shit about Sina’s ex-boyfriend, but everything I had said up to now seemed to strike a chord with her, and there had been talk around the demon world that a new ruler was coming to power soon once the demon queen stepped down.
