CHAPTER TWELVE

BALE

It reeks of blood and stale piss down here, with rivers of stale crimson flowing down the cracked gutters. My gums pulse where the fangs protrude, aching to sink through the flesh of my missing mate. Over a week has passed with nothing. Every shred of information we receive is that she is alive and it’s expected that the knowledge is enough. But to me, it fucking isn’t.

The cravings are painful, my entire body forcing itself to exist as a shadow. Before I managed without feeding a lot, sporadically feeding on demons or animals when the need arose. A hunger unlike I have ever felt is forcing me down into the depths, where the demons break free of their confines.

A cesspit of deviance, and the only place in Hell where they sell fresh human blood on the black market. It won’t fix things. I’m not that stupid, but it may curb the cravings enough to think rationally. This fucking haze will make me useless in the fight to get her back.

I pull my hood further down in an attempt to conceal my face, hoping that no one recognizes me down here. Most of them likely know of the infamous vampire spawn of Satan. The scum will have heard of what goes on up above, but few will have laid eyes on me before. Something I can use to my advantage.

A shrill scream sounds from somewhere in front of me, averting my eyes to a succubus slicing the throat of a male demon. What I feel at that moment stops me in my tracks, my fangs piercing into my lower lip to stop the snarl threatening to escape. The pure need I have been feeling intensifies tenfold, physically moving my body of its own volition as if my vampire side has taken over completely. Fighting with my own willpower, the source of the overdrive comes into view.

Standing there is my little mate, her eyes entranced by the bloodbath in front of her. She’s here, down in this dirty corner of Hell. A place that she certainly shouldn't be even with the security detail forming a V around her. Taking a deep breath, I dig my claws into my palms, the usual distraction of pain doing nothing to soothe the drive to get to her.

I step into the shadows, watching closely as her stunning blue eyes blow wide at the display. Her nose wrinkles to start with. Her disgust very quickly morphs into something else. Intrigue maybe, as she leans forward, her once sleek hair now knotted, draping over her shoulder.

My eyes are laser-focused on her, the rest of this place blurring and unimportant. Like a beacon calling to every single part of me. Body and soul. It takes everything in me to not run over there, pull out the hearts of the three beings surrounding her and embalm them to give her as a gift. My girl would like that with her deep fascination for the macabre. A little memento to remember the moment.
