CHAPTER 16

Sable followed the men across the black ground outside the castle, Loren at her side. Thorne kept glancing back at her, his crimson gaze dark with emotion that she pretended she couldn’t sense in him. She had made a wise bolt for Loren the moment they had reached the outer courtyard, leaving Bleu at the front of the pack with Thorne. She had tried to avoid angering Thorne and giving the two men reason to fall back on trying to outdo each other.

Her plan hadn’t worked quite the way she had envisaged it.

Thorne and Bleu were determined to pick up the scent trail of some prey, both clearly wanting to beat the other to it. They bickered at times, the outbreak of angst between them always causing Loren to sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose. It amused the werewolves and the vampire.

It grated on her nerves.

Would they have behaved like this if she hadn’t come?

They seemed to be getting along until she had gone to them and insisted she joined the hunting party.

Now it felt as if they were showing off and she was growing tired of the testosterone-fuelled display of masculinity they were both putting on for her.

She really had no interest in cockfights.

Sable focused on tracking the prey alone, looking for signs of life on the dark rocky barren ground. Plenty of boot prints but no animal ones.

A quarrel broke out in the demon language ahead of her. Thorne and Bleu were at it again.

Loren barked something in elvish and Bleu reeled in his idiocy, falling back and breaking away from Thorne, placing some distance between them. It seemed she wasn’t the only one they were pissing off. Loren looked ready to slap Bleu.

Sable sighed and glanced ahead of them.

Her eyebrows rose.

Thorne had been right and there were trees yonder from his castle.

She smiled, remembering how mortified he had looked when he had first used that word around her and she had teased him for it. He had used it again since, and she found it a little charming, especially when he had looked uncertain, bracing himself as if he feared she would laugh at him again.

The trees resembled tall pines. They towered high on the hills, swaying in the breeze, shadowy and grim against their equally shadowy and grim backdrop.

She was beginning to miss blue skies and stars, but she felt no pressing need to leave this strange realm yet.

It fascinated her.

The pines were darker than those in her world. A product of their environment?

The wind came again, tousling her ponytail, and she tucked a few rogue strands back in place and surveyed the landscape surrounding her. She wanted to see more of this weird new world.

She couldn’t fathom where this world was in comparison with hers and didn’t want to think that it might really be beneath the mortal one, within the planet. It freaked her out whenever she contemplated it. Loren had told her that it was in a way, but not in others.
