Chapter Twenty-One

Daisy

Exhausted, I slept for hours. But when I woke up Emma was sitting on the chair from the vanity—but she had pulled it close to the bed, ensuring she was the first thing that I saw when I opened my eyes.

“You’re keen,” I joked.

“And you’re surprisingly chipper, since you just had sex with two incubi,” she said, smoothly.

My cheeks burned. “How do you know about that?”

Emma raised one blonde brow, before answering my question. “Because your aura is now currently made up of three colors, not two.”

My eyes grew wide. “What? You mean I ate Erebus’s aura too?”

Emma nodded. “I think so, yeah.”

I ran my fingers through my tangled, copper hair. “How am I able to do that?”

The blonde girl shrugged. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you were a succubus. But that’s not possible. They’re all dead.”

I frowned at her. “I think I’d know if I had been draining the men that I’ve had sex with of their life-force.”

“Not necessarily, Daisy. You didn’t even believe in any of this stuff until you saw Adonis’ wings.”

I had to admit that she was right. But still, I couldn’t honestly believe I was a demon who ate auras. A tiny whimper caught my attention, and the two puppies scampered across the floor to my bed.

“I guess they woke up,” Emma said, smiling.

Laughing, I leaned over the bed, and scooped both furry babies up onto the blankets with me. They seemed to have recovered from yesterday’s trauma, although I wasn’t entirely sure that I had yet.

“You know there were three yesterday?” I asked Emma.

She had been tickling Star behind her ears, but she paused to look sadly at me. “I know.”

“He’s a fucking monster,” I murmured, as I scooped Bear up and held him against my chest, beneath my chin. I cuddled him closely.

The blonde-haired girl nodded. “They’re all monsters, Daisy. They use all living beings as though we’re toys. Adonis would kill you or me just as quickly as he killed the other puppy, if he felt we were getting in the way.”

I was startled to realize that I didn’t agree with Emma. Yes, I thought of the incubi as monsters. Charles had murdered my father, and Adonis had kidnapped me. But I was a hundred percent certain that Adonis would never kill me. He had killed the puppy to protect me from Erebus, after all.

I told Emma what I thought, and she gave a hollow laugh. “I didn’t think you would be so easily fooled, Daisy. He has you falling under his spell, it’s what he’s designed to do. Be careful he doesn’t pull you under his control completely.”

Looking down at the two tiny puppies—who had both fallen asleep, curled up next to my leg—I frowned determinedly. “That’s never going to happen. I swear.”

Before Emma could reply, the door flew open, and the room was dominated by the shadowy presence of Adonis. He looked at the puppies, and Emma; before he barked, “Out. Now. Take the dogs with you.
