Chapter Ten

Creed let himself into his apartment. He walked back to his bedroom without noticing anything. Nothing had changed since he’d been here last. In fact, nothing had changed since he’d moved in.

He shrugged out of his shirt with its destroyed buttons and stepped out of his shorts. It’d been a long walk from Melody’s place to his. The anxiety in her liquid blue eyes didn’t belong there, but he feared it was there to stay since he’d announced that if she lost control they’d have to risk her life to strip her of those cursed powers.

He’d noticed her little moments of propriety over her newfound abilities. They’re not Hypna’s anymore.

But he’d had to be honest with her. They were bonded. He couldn’t allow her to continue to want to be with him at the risk of others. Collateral damage was one thing, but rending someone limb from limb was another, and with Melody, he didn’t think the outcomes were separate. They were coincidental. If a concrete wall was in her way, it’d get demolished to pebbles. If a person…

He sifted through his drawers until he found a clean tactical shirt. In his closet, he chose a pair of black cargo pants from among the many pairs.

While in his closet, he selected his favored firearms. Demetrius had called him, interrupting the uncomfortable moments after he’d informed her of her tenuous hold on her demon side. Zoey had taken the demon brothers to find Ophelia for advice on whom to question, and Ophelia was MIA.

Normally, it wasn’t unusual for their friend and teammate to go for days without contact. Ophelia was notoriously private. But she seemed to always have a sixth sense for when they needed her and would call or appear, or just answer her phone for once.

Fyra was called in to babysit Melody. He’d even used that term to see how his mate would take it.

The green flecks had started to glow and his nerves had tingled. She had muttered something he’d thought was “tarp it” and smiled sweetly.

Geared up, he left his place. He didn’t stop in the garage, but went around the compound to the wall that had taken the most damage. Crisp winter air nipped at his cheeks and nose, but he barely felt it. Didn’t even wear a coat. He had too much on his mind to be cold.

His boots crunched through the few inches of snow cover they had. Night had descended hours ago and all was quiet. Birds were hunkered down until dawn. Only his footsteps made noise until he stopped in front of the area he was looking for.

He stared at the foundation around the wall affected by Melody’s earlier outburst. Hellfire.

New roots and leaves had sprung up. The vines and twigs from before when she’d lost her temper with Fyra were still withered, not quite gone, but new life had developed along their length.

So, she hadn’t taken the babysitting news as well as he’d hoped.

The selfish side of him sought a way for Melody to keep her power, but they had families living at the compound.
