“Well, you might want to think about it now. Because it looks like he’s coming for your mate.”
There’s another shifter outside, a big, burly man with the light stench of bear shifter. But his eyes are dead and his body moves jerkily, like a marionette with its strings being pulled by a puppet master. I can also see that strange mark on his neck.
“He’s drained them. That’s what that is.”
Lobo nods his dark head. “I didn’t know for sure.”
“Neither was I because as far as I know, no demon has used that for a long time. We don’t take bodies for our own uses. We take souls. Bodies are useless husks.”
“Apparently this guy doesn’t think so,” Lobo smirks.
Lobo smirks. “That useless husk over there is wearing your marks all over her.”
Radric gets a haughty look on his patrician face. “Don’t mention my mate’s body parts, human.”
Lobo snorts. “Don’t call me human. I’m a shifter.”
“You’re mortal. I am not.”
“Wait! You’re immortal? What does that mean for me?”
“Actually, since my mate is human, I am no longer immortal. But I will live quite a long time and so will you.”
My eyes widen. “I am immortal?”
He shakes his head. “No. Both of us will die. But we will love so much longer than these shifters that we will barely remember them when they die.” He smirks dryly. “Unless they join us in Hell.”
Lobo grunts under his breath as he stares out the window. “You’ll forgive me if I’m not in a rush to jump into Hell even if I do like you.”
“I’m disappointed.” He chuckles long and deep.
Bang!Both men turn to stare at the back of the house. But we can still clearly see the demon shifter in the front.
“What the hell’s going on? Does he have a partner we don’t know about?”
Lobo’s eyes scrunch up and he glares out the window. “I don’t think so. But never say never, I always say.”
“I’m going to check out the back,” Radric says and I feel a quiver of unease.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“I’ll be fine.” He kisses my cheek and grunts. “Stay here and don’t you dare do anything dangerous.”
I ignore him and Lobo just grunts. “I’ll keep an eye on here. You go do your prince of darkness thing and see if we need to take out more than one bad guy.”
As soon as Radric leaves, I can feel a panicky feeling welling up inside me. “This isn’t a good idea. I-I need him to come back.”
Lobo doesn’t even bother looking up. I know he thinks I’m a hysterical female but there’s something wrong.
Before I can scream at him, beg him to get Radric right now, there’s a faint glow in the corner of the room and a chill washes over me, smothering me in fear.
There’s a darkness that’s slithering around the room silently but I can hear it hissing and humming in my head. “Lobo!” I whisper it so softly that I’m not even sure he heard me. But he stops and turns and his cold eyes widen before they narrow into pinpoints of danger.
“Demon. Get yourself gone. We’ve got nothing here for you.”
It whispers even more and I see a faint grin that’s transparent, frightening.
“Not before I take his new toy,” the voice hisses, malevolence creeping into the room like an icy shroud. I shiver and back away.
