Chapter 11

We went to the top floor and I followed Nathan into a room so well lit, it hurt my eyes.

“Do I need to borrow sunglasses? What’s up with the lights?”

“We want to make sure there aren’t any shadows,” Mordecai explained. “Time moves slower there, and they’ll regroup and come after you and Nathan at some point. Until we resolve a few things, you’ll both have to stay in here.”

I looked around and realized there were lights on all four walls, and in each corner – up high and down low. There wasn’t a single shadow in the room.

“Why are they going to come after us?”

He sighed. “Have a seat, say hello to everyone, and we’ll get into it.”

I looked at Bran and saw Madeline on the floor, leaning against his legs. “Thanks for the hospitality,” I told Bran. “Can I speak to her?” It didn’t matter that Madeline and I had just talked. There are times in the lifestyle when it’s polite to ask the Dom if you can speak to his slave, and this was one of those times.

He nodded as he stroked her hair. “Only because I know you understand the relationship and won’t say anything negative.”

“You’re beautiful, Madeline, and I’m a little jealous. Not that I want to submit to Bran, but…” I grinned. “I don’t have to explain. You know what I mean.” I looked back up to Bran. “I do want to talk to you alone at some point, but it doesn’t have to be tonight.”

He nodded and I looked towards a beautiful man I didn’t recognize. His shoulder length hair was closer to white than blonde, and the soft curls did nothing to soften his chiseled cheekbones and sharp eyes. The man was leaned against a wall and looked regal — and a bit snobbish. However, he had the same stance as Nathan when he’s in full bodyguard mode, and I was curious. “I’m Kirsten O’Shea. I don’t believe we’ve met.”

He looked to Mordecai, waited for a nod, and looked back to me. “You may call me Rafe. At Mordecai’s request, I’ll be bodyguard to you and the lion until we find a resolution to the current situation.”

Which brought me back to needing to know what was going on. I looked to Mordecai and used my nicest voice to ask, “Please tell us what’s going on?”

“What’s the only true law in Hell?” Bran asked.

“Don’t kill,” I answered.

I looked to Mordecai again and saw a look I didn’t like, as if he were accusing me of killing. “The Celrau don’t die when I cut them in two!” I protested. “I was told it was legal, and I could do it when they threatened me!”

Mordecai looked to Nathan and back to me. “They brought some humans to the fight near the gateway. Both you and the Amakhosi killed multiple humans.”

“Then they did it to trick us,” said Nathan, his voice calm, his speech slow and unwavering, “because I know my nose doesn’t work as well with all the sulfur, but they all smelled of Celrau.
