“Just stay firm and alert. You got this.”
Light chatter went on as they all finished up their meals. As she, Vex, and Trace followed Dray out, Melody couldn’t stop the feeling that there was something he wasn’t telling them. From the way her mates were staring at them, she was pretty sure they were picking up on it too.
Dray walked off to the side and lit a cigarette. Vex threw her a look and turned back to the master. “So when did you start smoking? That’s new.”
He rolled his eyes. “Since I realized it calms my nerves.”
“Dray.” Vex’s tone said it all. She knew that voice all too well.
The demon master sighed and leaned his head against the porch beam. “Some of my demons are disappearing. I’m not sure what’s happening to them.”
Vex’s eyes narrowed. “You can’t track them, or command them back?”
Smoke billowed out around Dray as he exhaled. “Trust me, I tried. There’s something fishy going on, and I’m going to find out what it is. I have a lead, but finding her is going to be the hardest part.”
“Her? Who is she?” Melody stepped closer, her interest piqued.
The expression on Dray’s face was almost unreadable, yet Melody could sense something lurking deep within that gave her the impression that Dray was more intrigued than anything. “I don’t know her name, but I’m pretty sure she’s an immortal. A very dark one, at that. I could be wrong, but there doesn’t seem to be much good in her at all. She’s always there, off in the distance. When I go after her, she just disappears into the shadows.”
A smile came to Melody’s face and she looked up at her mates. Something was stirring around in Dray’s life and she couldn’t wait to see how it played out. “A dark immortal. Interesting.”
