The festival was going on for hours.

I couldn't hide behind the bar anymore. I had seen Emie just one time after I had come to a solution and yet I didn't have the nerve to finally go through it. Not that Allegra was making it any easier with all the people coming from various clans.

She had her hands full along with Emie and Lana.

Even Mikhail joined with his friend Aaron who looked far from calm. Nervous energy swirled around him, no wonder he was the only human who never joined a festival like this. Knocking back another drink, I had enough.

It was now or never.

I started walking toward them, fully intend to take Emie with me when someone bumped into me. Brushing off his apology, I was just about to take another step when I smelled it. Coel and fire.

Hell.

Turning around, my gaze locked with Mikhail. He had the same look I was harboring right now. Nodding at him, together, we followed the man with the cloak. Surprisingly the man leisurely walked, not a single step could be called fast because he was in a hurry.

"You see him?" I heard a whisper behind me.

"Yes." I deliberately slowed down to match his footsteps. "He's going to my side of the wing."

"Got it."

That was the only sign I got before I saw everything slow down, almost like the time itself had slowed down. Mikhail had his eyes on the man just like I did but where he was too busy to stop him, I let my shadows take over to catch him.

Those formless creatures grabbed the man by the shoulder, halting him from taking another step. From the corner of my eyes, I could see some Volkios corner him but surprise, surprise, he still didn't look tense.

"Turn around." My shadows ordered.

He did with a shake of his head. Just then everything started moving normally and Mikhail cursed. Did he know him?

"What?"

"That's not Demos." He spat, glaring at the demon in front of us.

The shadows screamed in disappointment. All of it was for nothing! "Who are you!"

The demon smiled, his eyes filled with mischief. "Name's Fallon, his majesty's trusted adviser. He thanks you all for the invitation."

Bastard.

He knew.

Fuck!

"Where's my brother?" I saw Eros ask with a smile on his face. We couldn't really show that we wanted him. It was a double-edged sword if I ever saw one.

"Nice to meet you after centuries, Eros. Hope he gets better hospitality than I did." I was ready to snap his neck but Mikhail shook his head.

Damn it.

I was out of here. They could deal with it. I had my own problems to deal with.

I didn't care that Allegra let out a soft protest when I finally found them, gripping Emie's hands to take us far away from the crowd. I didn't even bother that I stumbled with people on my way, hearing curses all around me. I was just too in a hurry to get this over with.

She immediately smiled when I found a corner away from everyone.
