Chapter 27
Demyan
WE RINSE AND DRESS before sitting at the table comparing notes on the new women currently making our lives hell. With fine glasses filled with FÃanac, conjured from the Abyss, in hand, we lay out a grid of where the darkling can be.
His silver eyes are mild, free of the tightness from before. The occasional bump of his knee to mine is a firm reminder of what transpired.
Something I never thought to experience again this side of death.
âThere is a strip of supernatural shops near the cemetery in Stratford,â I broach, forcing my mind back to the matters at hand. âWe can take the witchling and start there.â
He nods and runs his fingers through his hair, pulling it up with the jet band on his wrist. Deft movements have it braided in moments, leaving the lean lines of his face sharp and severe. âIt may be our best shot.â
If his darkling is maddening him like the witchling is me...they need to be united.
And soon.
Though at the rate my body burns, I may combust before I ever touch her.
âWe will find the darkling again, Seir.â
He smiles, flashing fang. âI know, Dem.â
We fall into a companionable silence. I finish off the fluid in my glass and fill it again.
âWill you ask your hybrid to bed you?â he asks after a time. There is nothing but kindred suffering and curiosity in his gaze.
âI am her owner now, Seir. A demon prince. How can I?â I glance away. âShe is the first woman I have ever worried about turning me away.â
âIf you let your leash go...â
My head shakes. âMayhap that is what the passage meant. The one from the old tales of the Key.â
One dark brow arches. âWhat do you mean?â he asks.
âWe must love them as God loves them,â I say. âSelflessly and of their own free will.â
He sits back in the small chair. âNo powers then.â
I huff. âRather damn impossible when they raise them as they do.â
His lips tug. âIt is a test, old friend,â he says. âTo see if we are worthy.â
âI thought we were done with Godâs infernal tests eons ago.â
Seir snickers. âApparently not,â he says. âApparently not.â
âWe need a meeting with the other Princes without raising alarms. What we are considering is paramount to treason or abandonment, depending on who you speak to,â I say.
âCasco, I believe, would aid our cause, simply on the pretext of claiming the glory once it is over.â
My chuckle is low. The Prince of Pride would indeed.
âGifre may as well, though for his own hatred of his Father,â I say, rubbing my jawline.
âAdom will follow him,â Seir says. âRegardless of what it entails.â
âSo that leaves Belial and Invidre,â I say.
âBelial is still young. He does not quite grasp what it means to be Demon,â Seir starts. âInvidre...will be troublesome.â
I lean back, stretching my legs out to entwine with his beneath the table. My arms cross as I mull over his words. âIt is almost a shame that Enok and Agur gave up their places in the hierarchy.
