Shade’s father nodded, and Caleb let him go. The older man fell to the floor, grabbing at his throat. Caleb looked down at the other man and smiled.

  “So now that that’s settled, offer still stands for the contacts. If you need, call me at this number.” He placed a business card on the desk. “So I expect the contract to be nullified by midnight, or I’m coming back here, and this is going to have a completely different ending.”

  Dolan looked him over with seething hatred coming from every pore. His eyes narrowed and then he smiled. “Welcome to the family kid, she couldn’t have done better.”

  “Clearly. See that it’s done.” He said as he left the room, and walked back through the double doors towards the elevator. He had taken a gamble on the Shadows loving his Consort more than her father, but it had paid off. Shade was safe, his and everything had fallen into place. True, he would have to deal with her father from time to time, but the old asshole knew now Caleb was one man you did not fuck with.

  His Shadow Scar pulsed on his skin, heating it.

  “Yeah I know you miss her. You will get to play on her delectable skin soon.” He said to it as he stroked it.

  He reached the elevator just as the doors opened. He waited, as three Caligo filed out and looked him over. One of them, an older woman gave him the once over and he smirked at her, and cut his gaze to the youth just before her.

  “The male is of no consequence. Uma, Conover, We have a meeting.”

  Caleb turned as he entered the lift and tipped an imaginary hat to Conover, who scowled at him. He winked at Uma, presumably his mother, and smiled as they turned to go down the hallway he had just recently come from. He hit the run stop and picked at his nails for a few minutes before he heard the screaming, or rather, screeching start just beyond the closed door to Dolan’s office.

  “Of no consequence my ass.” He said with a smug laugh and let the doors finally close on the elevator. He had a Consort to get back to, and a honeymoon to begin.
