Chapter Sixteen

Rafe

We were sent back out of the room. Perinor glanced my way from the other end of the hall, still looking amused. He smoothed his hand over his hair like he was combing short hair, making fun of me.

Yeah, it was no secret I’d had a hard time adjusting when I came back to this place. For five years I’d lived the life of my dreams. Humans fed off me and I fed off them, but even more so, I loved the free-wheeling atmosphere of the Fixed Plane. The music that was changing fast, the sense of power and freedom and the energy of long nights jamming with Declan or the humans I’d hired to back me up, endless cigarettes and city lights.

And unless you’d lived it, you’d never know. Most demons were so old-fashioned that once I came home, I didn’t even speak the same language anymore.

The first time I’d come to the Symposium when I got back from the Fixed Plane, I made the ridiculous and unforgivable mistake of dressing in clothes I’d bought at some shop where lots of rock stars bought their audacious menswear. A light blue suit, a skinny black tie, and hair that was considered scandalously long in America and scandalously short here.

I thought I was cool, and was young enough not to realize how ridiculous I would look to a man like Perinor. He was a shadow demon with a longer lifespan even than a dragon, and seemed to have lost all tolerance of youth pretty early on.

But I wasn’t so young anymore either.

“Ignore him,” Hiron said. “You’re better than him, Rafe.”

“That, I know,” I said. “But maybe he needs a reminder.”

“I wouldn’t mind giving his own hair a singe,” Xado said.

“Don’t,” Hiron said.

Perinor saw Hiron trying to block me and was quick to take advantage of the situation. “You still have that suit, Baby Blue? That beautiful bride of yours deserves better.”

“Fuck you.” I lunged for him, only to feel Hiron’s arm clutch mine, holding me back.

“Rafe,” he said through gritted teeth. “He’s the head guard of the Symposium! Try and control yourself.”

“He insults the honor of your name,” I said. “Aren’t we bond fellows?”

“We are, but some of us don’t want to get into a brawl right at the foot of the most powerful demons in the realm.”

“You’re not backing me up because you still haven’t really forgiven me for leaving.”

“It’s been fifty years! Why bring this up now?”

Xado waved a hand and as promised, he did set Perinor’s hair on fire. The shadow demon immediately put it out, but his red eyes bored into us both.

“Watch yourselves, boys,” he said.

“We can’t get into arguments amongst ourselves at such a time,” Xado said in a low voice. “Any moment now, Dakota will become truly ours and we will take her home and claim her. She needs to trust that we love one another as much as we love her. Our bonded days will truly begin.”

“I know that,” Hiron said. “I don’t want to fight.
