ready to throw them out.
“Great. I cannot wait to tell Jillian our news,” she says opening up the door. “Thanks for the ride and I am sorry for any trouble my parents caused you. If you are ever in the neighborhood, do stop by.”
“Fat chance,” I mumble under my breath. Aloud I say, “Actually, you probably don't want to have to deal with me after today. I managed to take my medicine this morning, so I was nice. Most days I am a real bitch.” Figuratively and literally, I add to myself.
She looks taken aback briefly, but her good manners win out and she says, “The offer still stands.”
With that, Demon Harvey escorts her out and into the building. Good riddance, I think before backing out of the parking spot and hitting the road.
Chapter 13
Things that piss me off…demons
Once we get back on the highway, I pick up my phone to call Sebastian. It is still early afternoon, so he may still be in bed, but I imagine he will take my call.
“My love, to what do I owe this pleasure?” he asks after the third ring.
“We are on our way home and I wanted to hear your voice,” I say while I switch lanes to pass a car. Slow ass human.
“You know I find this call odd because I am the mate that allows you to, more often than not, go freely with your guards and I am pretty sure it is your other one that was expecting a call like this.”
“And you wonder why my fingers hit your speed dial number and not his. Plus, he can just reach out to my mind, if he wants to know what is going on.”
“I imagine the fact that he can do that makes you want to rebel against him even more, love.”
“You are correct, oh wise one. Not being able to lie to you and not being able to keep anything at all from him is quite annoying.”
“My poor baby. I will have to come up with a way to make it up to you. How did your trip go? If you are coming back so soon, I imagine you didn't have any problems.”
“No problems, per se. The case did involve a demon, though. What exactly the demon's endgame was, I don't know or care. The girl called her dad so the case is solved as far as I am concerned,” I claim.
“I am sure Alex already knows, but you should probably let fang face know about the demon's interest in you,” Jake pipes in from the back seat.
“Thanks, I think you just did,” I say glaring at him in the mirror. Why he thinks he needs to drive my perfectly innocent conversation is beyond me.
“What does he mean by that?” Sebastian asks taking on a tone with a hint of anger laced through it. Great. Now look what Jake has done.
“Nothing. The demon just kept staring at me. From the moment we met, there was maybe five minutes he wasn't looking at me. No worries though, we dropped them off a while ago and should be home within twenty minutes, or so, based on my speed. I doubt he would come looking for me once I am back within your stronghold.”
“Demons are not known for being logical. I am guessing you don't have any herbs or oils handy to ward him off. I am going to have an amulet waiting for you when you get home. You will have to wear it at all times so he cannot find you. I already share you with Alex, I don't want to have someone else to worry about,” he says.
He is getting really worked up on this issue. My guess would be, with all the years he has spent on this planet, he has run into a demon a time or two. The edge to his voice makes me think he wasn’t very happy about the outcome.
“You two are bonded with me, he isn't, so I don't think you have to worry about my attentions being diverted. I already have two cocky alphas; I don't need to collect any more men.”
“I am glad to hear you say that. I have to go get that amulet ready, so I will let you use both hands to drive. I will see you in a few minutes. Be careful until then.”
“I will be. Love ya.”
“I love you, too, Nyx,” he says and hangs up.
“Ahh. Love, true love,” a deep, unfamiliar voice says from the back of the
