Hagen, Lynn - Snooke [Demon Warriors 2] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove) by Lynn Hagen Page B

from gaining entrance. The only way in was through the shadows. You could think of this building when using the Black River, but the portal will always place the person right back at the river bank. It was set up like that.
    What the hell was going on around here lately? There were some very strange occurrences taking place. There was a reporter they couldn’t find, but kept printing his stories, stories that no one should have known about. Then there was the man imitating one of the warriors. And then the conversations with people who didn’t even remember talking to him.
    Kane searched the bedroom but came up empty. There was nothing left behind by whoever had been here. Thank goodness Leam seemed to have disappeared. He really thought Hondo was going to track the demon down and kill him for messing with Chris. Kane had no clue why he just thought of that. Random thoughts kept swirling in his head as he thought of his mate being in danger.
    Kane spun around and headed back down the hallway, searching the bathroom, the guest room, the kitchen, his workout room, and even the kitchen. The only other people in the apartment were Snooke and Dillon.
    “Anything?” Snooke asked nervously. His mate was sitting in the chair, his knees pulled to his chest as he stared at the large glass window. Kane marched over there and looked down onto the street. The streetlights lit up the streets well enough to make most shadows dim. There wasn’t enough of a shadow on the streets to hide in. His eyes scanned King Kennedy Avenue. No one was across the street at the basketball court that he could see.
    Fox Horn Village, a cul-de-sac, was catty-corner to the apartment building, but he couldn’t see anyone lurking around. Then there was Jake’s Java next to the warriors’ building. No one was hanging outside of the coffee shop.
    It frustrated Kane that someone had been inside his home. The home he thought of as his sanctuary.
    “Kane.” Snooke appeared beside him.
    “Yeah, shorty.” Kane pulled Snooke by his side. His mate may have started out with not-so-honest intentions, but he knew in his heart that Snooke wasn’t going to betray him.
    “My stuff that was yet to be put away…it’s missing.” Snooke slid his arms around Kane’s waist. “They didn’t put my stuff away. They took it.”
    Kane was seething. Who would want some damn clothes? “I think it was a warning. Telling us that whoever they are, they can get into the building.”
    He could feel his mate slightly shaking in his arms. “Why don’t you go watch a movie with Dillon? I need to talk to the warriors.” Kane kissed him on the head before pulling away.
    Kane walked out of the apartment, his footsteps thundering in the hallway as he climbed the steps to the fifth floor. He knocked, waiting for Rainerio to answer.
    “Kane, come in.” The warrior stepped aside.
    “I need everyone up at Panahasi’s suite.” Kane left the warrior and made his way back down to his apartment. He wasn’t comfortable leaving his mate and the human by themselves, not when someone knew how to get in.
    He opened the door and called into the living room. “Let’s go.”
    Snooke and Dillon hurried to the door, following behind Kane as he made his way up to the top floor.
    “Couldn’t you have just poofed us in there?” Dillon asked, panting.
    Kane chuckled, looking down at the human. “Exercise is good for you. Besides, no one poofs into Panahasi’s apartment, not without the leader dealing with them properly.”
    “I can walk,” Dillon quickly said.
    The leader’s door was wide open. Apparently Rainerio had told everyone to get their asses up there. Kane walked in to see ten pair of eyes turn toward him. “We’ve been breached.”
    Chaos broke out. Everyone began talking at once, asking how and by who. Even a few exclamations of impossible were thrown in. Panahasi clapped his hands once, and all fell silent.
    “Please explain.” The leader walked over to his desk.
