Cambion Lord (Dark Warrior Alliance #23) - Brenda Trim Page 0,61
stupid as fuck if he thought he was going anywhere. “Not so fast, dickhead. We’re going to have a chat.”
“I have nothing to say to you.” The sorcerer spat into the dirt.
Evzen joined them along with Braelynn who stood a few feet back. “You will answer to me. Or I will make you.” The sorcerer paled and started shaking when Evzen stepped into the light. As the Guild Master of the sorcerers he could make his subjects obey with one word.
The sorcerer lifted his hands into the air. “I don’t know anything about Sterling.”
“Think about this before you continue lying. You sold drugs to my shifters and now they’re missing. Start talking and maybe you’ll see sunshine again.”
Evzen called his staff to his hand and lifted it a few feet above the ground. When he lowered it and it struck the dirt and leaves, a ripple of energy rolled out in waves. “Start talking now.”
The male in Hayden’s grip was shaking so hard, his teeth were clacking. “I don’t know anything. I swear.”
Hayden turned to Evzen. “Make him talk. I’m calling Zander and arranging a transfer to a realm custody in Seattle.” Evzen nodded and cast a binding spell on the sorcerer.
Hayden walked a few feet away and pulled out his phone to call Zander. “Och, Hayden. What can I do for you?”
Hayden ran a hand through his hair. “Evzen and I are in Richmond and we captured an Angel’s Kiss dealer. Can you arrange transport from Evzen’s house to the realm jail on the East side? It’ll make it easier for us to get information from him if he’s closer to home.”
“Shite. Does he have a lead on Sterling?”
Hayden shook his head side to side. “He’s denying any knowledge right now, but I suspect Sterling could be in the area. I doubt he would give his dealers much of a leash with the attention we have on his operations.”
“I’m in New York with Dante but will have Kyran make the arrangements. Keep me posted.”
“Will do.” Hayden ended the call before Zander could issue a warning. He relayed the information to Evzen and stood over the sorcerer trying to intimidate him into talking. His bear replaced his cheetah and his muscles grew in size. He was about a foot taller and fur sprouted along his arms.
The sorcerer whimpered and paled then crawled away from him. He couldn’t go far. Evzen’s spell stopped his ability to move more than three feet. If he managed to find Sterling, he would remove a major danger to his kind. He needed that win. With all the new babies they faced enough and didn’t need to add to it.
Hayden wished he had more in his life but honestly, he couldn’t handle anything else at the moment. A mate would be one more thing to worry about. No thanks. His plate was full. Although, his chest ached as he watched Braelynn go up and wrap her arm around Evzen in support as he dealt with one of his sorcerers.
Chapter 17
Chloe’s body reacted before her mind fully registered the blade coming toward her side. She jerked back and flopped around like she was having a grand mal seizure to avoid the cut that seemed inevitable. A hard hand clamped down on her shoulder. Her scream echoed throughout the room.
She bit her lower lip to keep from feeding the sickening glee her agony fed the archdemon. How the fuck had she landed back in this asshole’s hands? She was better than this. Twice now this vile being managed to get his paws on her.
She’d blame it on the fact that Dante had completely distracted her, but she had only met Dante because she’d escaped this Daeva demon the first time he’d kidnapped and tried to kill her.
Although she was bleeding from more wounds than she cared to think about because she’d been caught up in her thoughts about the sexy Cambion Lord. Dante was powerful and had a demonic side…literally, but he was also protective and caring. Her heart had been a dead organ in her chest, beating for no one for thousands of years before he walked into her life.
His presence in her life was like a bolt of lightning. He struck her out of the blue and went right for her heart and soul. He burned through her like a wildfire, incinerating every brick she’d placed around that part of her that shattered all those millennia ago.
