I want to chase him. Want to make him suffer for his arrogance in thinking that he can take the woman from me.
But my head turns towards her and my eyes gleam, the faint scent of cinnamon fire in the air where she stands. I slip up behind her, my eyes locked on her soft curves as I finally stand over her.
She’s so tiny, she barely comes up to my chest. Her fiery red hair is a flaming halo of fire around her sweet, pale face. Little dots drift across her little nose and down her pale chest. Her large breasts, too large for such a tiny frame draw my lust-filled gaze. Plump, full and round.
She’s a goddess. My goddess.
She stills as if she senses something and I see her shiver, her body tense and her eyes shut. Then I move and she feels it, her eyes opening. As soon as I look into her eyes, I know she’s too damn good for me. But I intend to have her anyway.
She will be my queen of the damned.
Her soft, sky-blue eyes, so blue and pure that they look like clear mountain skies lock on me and then they roll back in her head and she drops like a stone to the ground.
Or she would have if I hadn’t been there to catch her. Now that I’ve found her though, I will always stand between her and any threat.
And if anyone touches her, there will be Hell to pay.
CHAPTER2
Artemis
Moaning, I slowly open my eyes, confused at how very warm I feel. It’s like I’m lying on something hard and extra-warm. It sears my skin, not burning me, just branding me with its warmth.
Everything around me is dark and I can’t see in front of my face for more than a couple of inches.
I sit up and look around, lifting a hand to cover the back of my head and wincing. “What happened?”
“You fainted.”
I squeal as the dark, husky voice penetrates the black of the night. Whirling around, I flinch at the size of the man in front of me. My eyes go up and up and up. He’s got to be over six and a half feet tall. He steps forward and all of a sudden it’s like he’s bathed in a rich red glow. I look around, confused where it came from.
But his eyes glow demon-red and my stomach clenches. “Wh-what are you?”
“I go by many names, angel.” His mouth twists when he calls me by that name and I study him closely.
“Why does it sound like an insult when you call me that?”
“Not an insult exactly.” He moves closer and I can see him more clearly. My brow wrinkles because for some reason I smell roses. It seems to be coming from him.
I sit up quickly and my eyes search all around me. “Where is he?”
“He who?” The man snarls, his eyes burning into me.
“The killer. The werewolf? At least I think it was a werewolf. It looked just like the one that got killed.”
“And then I saw the Sheriff and he talked to me. But then it showed back up and the Sheriff was chasing after it but he didn’t see it like I saw it. It just looked like a werewolf.” I stop, chuckling. “I never thought I’d say looked just like a werewolf. What a weird thing to say!” I shake my head and sigh. “I don’t think the Sheriff believed me when I said that it looked like whatever that thing was had a second body and it came out of the shifter body to kill the shifter and then it went back in.”
His head tilts to the side and he eyes me closely. “What did the other body look like?”
“Strange. Like it was a dust storm of some kind. A funnel and then it had claws and teeth inside it.”
He nods his dark head and his eyes go black. His body fades out and all I can see is a black cloud. “Like this?”
I point at him excitedly. “Yes, yes! Just like that!”
He nods again. “So it wasn’t a shifter. It was a demon possessing a shifter.”
“A demon?” I shake my head, completely confused. “Shifters and demons? Ugh. This is the worst vacation ever. I never should have left home.”
