Chapter Nine

Kit chased the ogres halfway down the street, hiding in the palms lining the sidewalk and then launching himself at them in a classic ambush. Chomping down on the bald guy’s crotch and crushing his testicles had been nasty, but he didn’t care. He’d do it again to protect his mate.

One long growl and a swipe down baldie’s friend’s leg, and they’d hobbled off the way they’d come. Most ogres were cowards. They liked to scare people with their cannibalism and their sheer size, but take one by surprise and put a hurt on him, and the entire group would run.

Assholes. They’d send a message to Mancini. Rhiannon had protection, and next time, there’d be death instead of wounds.

After he shifted and had Rhiannon somewhere safe, he’d be making a call to his fae buddy Daegus. If Daegus hadn’t intervened back at the train station, Kit knew he’d be dead now. Lilith had damn near crushed his windpipe with magic and would have yanked his guts out given enough time. He’d let Rhiannon’s distress distract him. Worry for her safety had given the demon the opening she needed to hit him with a spell.

He hadn’t seen the fae in years, but if Daegus was in town, the Wild Hunt was also. The Hunt followed Daegus—or Daegus followed the Hunt. Kit didn’t fully understand the dynamics of the relationship between his friend and the magical host comprised of fae, the dead, and a few chosen humans. He only knew that if the Hunt was in town, there was sure to be mischief and mayhem afoot. Those fae knew how to party.

He shouldn’t have needed the back up, but he wasn’t going to be an idiot about it. Lilith had nailed him. He’d known his chances against a demon weren’t good, but he couldn’t sit there and let the evil hag hurt his mate. Kit loped back down the sidewalk, his ears trained ahead.

Rhiannon’s screams and the stink of sulfur wafted past him. He leapt into the cultivated desert plants in the manicured bed next to the sidewalk and paused behind a clump of palm trees, restraining his impulse to rush straight into battle.

Lilith had Rhiannon by the hair, and his mate fought back like a hell cat. Strong and fierce.

His beast yowled, but Kit forced himself to remain calm. He had to take Lilith by surprise. Attacking her head on at the train station left him injured, with wounds to his belly. The demon had tried to gut him, and the gashes were barely healed.

Kit crept forward, keeping low and silent, until he knew he could take the demon from behind. Rhiannon coughed and choked, but if he made a mistake and got killed, Lilith would still have Rhiannon. That stark realization calmed the beast.

Flicking a glance at the crowd of spectators creeping down the sidewalk, he dismissed them as a non-threat and landed on his toes behind Lilith. The demon rolled Rhiannon to her back on the sizzling hot ground and straddled her.
