down,” he says eyeing us both. “Or not.”
I flip him the bird and he laughs.
“Glad to see you've not lost your sense of humor, Mara, but seriously, you guys should come down.”
“Fine,” I say, jumping down from the counter, and Levi takes my hand in his.
“Tonight, Remy. Tonight, I get you to myself,” Levi grumbles softly against my ear and tingles shoot through me.
“Tonight.”
Caleb whispers us back to the main room and everyone else is already here. The room has changed, and a dozen plush comfortable chairs and sofas are in a circle near the Dias at the top of the room. The murmurs are low as we approach, and I find everyone sat, waiting for us.
My eyes dart around my guys, making sure everyone's okay, and other than Roman looking a little bloody, everyone seems like they made it out okay. “What happened to you?” I ask Roman, taking the seat Levi pulls me to.
Caleb sits by Morgan, and I realize Killian looks a little beat up too.
“Demons is what happened to me. To us,” he says nodding towards Killian. “We went to level seven, gluttony, and holy shit, they do not like to share.”
“That’s an understatement. They caught sight of your Lycan, and thought he was someone new for them to play with,” Killian says, his voice lower than I expected, with a shudder. “Fucking black eyed creepy ass Demons.”
I blink slowly, watching a Demon shudder as he talks about other Demons makes me super glad that I didn't end up on that level of this place.
“Did anyone get any news of Fallon?” I ask, and each of my guys looks a little guilty.
“No, but we only checked four levels. We have more to search tomorrow,” Caleb says softly.
“But we already went through five of them.” I sigh, frustrated.
“We're re-checking all the levels. But so far, there's not even a whisper of who might be working with the Hunter,” Caleb says, his eyes hard. “We'll find them, and I'll tear out their spine myself for causing such a fucking shit fest.”
“You're so hot when you're angry,” Morgan sighs, her amber eyes flashing at him as she twirls a strand of her dark hair around her finger.
“Focus, Morgan,” Bryce says softly, and she smiles at him sweetly.
“Sorry.” she says, looking at me and I shake my head with a grin.
“I get it.” I shrug, looking at my guys, remembering Levi's kiss scorching me earlier.
“We did learn of another tear to Earth though,” Bryce tells me. “From what I could tell, another human passed into our realm, but was taken back to yours not long after. All we know, is that it wasn't the Hunter. The person was truly mortal.”
“What does that mean?” I ask, and shadows appear in his eyes.
“It means that that person will be tainted by this place. Mortal souls aren't meant to come here before they're due, if at all. If we know who it is, we can cleanse them, the same as we will when we find your friend, but if we don't find them, whoever it was... Let’s just hope we can find who it was before chaos descends upon Earth,” Bryce tells me softly and I let out a whoosh of breath.
“Well... shit.” I drop my head into my hands. “Just what we need. More chaos.”
“We'll work it out,” Levi says squeezing my thigh.
“For now though, you should all rest. It's been a long few days,” Morgan says. “I need to sleep but tomorrow, the guys can search the other levels while you and I look into that pesky immortality question for you.”
“I'm not sure...” I start but she stops me with a look.
“Tomorrow. For tonight, sleep on it,” she says, before disappearing from sight.
“Sorry about her, once she gets a thought in her head...” Caleb says, running a hand down his face. “Let’s get you guys to your room anyway, someone will get you in time for breakfast, and while I suggest plenty of rest because tomorrow is going to be just as long as today, I don't expect any of you to listen to me,” he laughs, before everything turns black as he whispers us to our room.
“See you tomorrow,” his voice reaches me as the black recedes but he's nowhere in sight.
“That shit is still creepy,” Creek says as we all appear and Levi opens the door for us all.
“Ha! This room!” Roman chuckles.
“These Demons certainly know how to party,” Kain purrs, looking at me.
“Nope!” Levi says, grabbing me by
