Cara watched Marga and Atticus drive away in Marga’s car. They’d given Huxley and Cara a ride to Hux truck, which was still parked close to the theater where they picked up the human Cara fed from.She quickly directed her thoughts away from the man, still not willing or able to deal with what she’d done. Why sink down a spiral of despair when denial was such a convenient option? Yep, denial it was.Unfortunately, blocking out the topic of her feeding—on top of the already tabooed subject of her attack on her twin brother—meant her mind greedily latched on to the next big issue in her life right now, the sizzling attraction she felt to one fine demon male, currently getting into the driver’s seat next to her. She’d readily block that subject, too, but there were only so many things she could successfully suppress at once.Huxley slammed the door and started the en

Hints of daylight glowed around the heavy-duty sunblock panel over the window, casting the bedroom in a dim twilight. Not that the gloom had done Huxley any good. He’d tossed and turned for what felt like hours already, his mind and body too restless to drift off.He flopped onto his back and stared at the ceiling, silently cursing his honesty.Why did he tell Cara about the signs he’d read on her back? He should have just kept that info to himself, for several reasons, not least of which was that the less she learned about the details of her turning, the longer it would take to eventually change her back—if that was even possible. He had his doubts, but in any case, he shouldn’t share clues with her which could point her to the one thing that would destroy any future he could have with her.Plus, him telling her that little tidbit was one hell of a mood killer. All that lust satur

Hux made it back home just as the blue-gray of predawn gave way to the rose blush of impending morning. He quickly walked Max around the block, eying the daylight crawling closer and closer.Once back inside, he pulled the shutters down and locked them. He expelled a breath of relief. That had been close. Not that the daylight would have burned him to a crisp in seconds, but he’d rather not lose any more quire.Speaking of which…“Carachka,” he said, catching her attention as she put away her cereal bowl. “I’d like to show you something.”A saucy grin quirked up one corner of her mouth, and she wiggled her brows while she sauntered over. “Is it big? Will it shock my delicate female sensibilities and make me gasp and clutch my pearls?”She slid her arms around his waist, her hands stroking over his ass and up to the front, wh

A hot thrill shot through Draco’s veins. He’d found her again.Finally.As soon as the sun set, he’d gone out searching the city for any trace of Cara and the male she’d been with. Too bad he hadn’t caught the bastard’s name, or he could have found them both much sooner. He wouldn’t have had to waste hours upon hours quietly asking about anyone seeing a blond male agastopia accompanied by a female agastopia with long black hair. Digging for information like that without arousing suspicion and drawing too much attention to oneself was sadly undervalued.He was pretty proud of himself, especially since he also managed to avoid getting caught by Jacob and his guys, who were undoubtedly combing the town for him. By now, Jacob would have figured out it was Draco who stole the vial, and he was coming after him with a vengeance, of that Draco was sure. Jacob wo

“So,” Hux said, while he and Hunter walked out of the club’s back door into the dimly lit alley behind the building, directing the two human males whom they’d chosen as prey to follow them quietly. “How is Cara?”He’d tried not to pester his brother with questions about her, even though he was going crazy wondering how she was doing. Several times over the course of the day he’d been close to calling her, his finger hovering over the call button. He’d typed ten texts, then deleted every one without ever sending it off.She wanted space. And he’d hack off his own arm to give it to her.Hunt checked his phone. “Wow. You made it to one hour and three minutes before asking about her. Held up pretty well there, Shay.”Hux glowered at him.“She’s…” Hunt huffed out a breath. “She spent mos
