Chapter Five

The limo with Tiago and the other demon pulled away from the driveway as she boldly sauntered into the floodlighting. Ona took a long sniff of the woman standing in the door of the mansion. She wasn’t human, exactly. There was something different about her scent.

“Can’t quite place what I am? I’ve heard that’s the case. I was human, before. Now I’m Vedo’s.”

Ona crouched and let the shift take her. The woman’s eyes sparkled as she tilted her head. Ona straightened, nude and unashamed. Only steps from the door, she asked, “What does that mean, you’re Vedo’s?”

“I’m Cin. Tiago’s mother.” She shoved a bared foot out. It was covered in the same type of demon brand that Ona had on her hip. “Well, his stepmother. His mother was a demon.”

“Yeah,” she responded, frowning at Cin’s feet. “Vedo’s the other one in the limo?” Cin nodded and Ona asked, “He did your feet?”

Cin laughed. “He wanted me to be able to follow my feet to the rift when it opened.”

“What?”

“I see we have a lot to discuss.” Cin clicked her tongue and tilted her head further, staring at Ona’s hip. “He really did put his stamp on you. That’s pretty big.”

“I think he wanted to make a larger mark than these.” She shrugged and held out her arms, the tatts there already starting to fade after three shifts.

“Come on in. I don’t trust those two to be alone for too long. All the women will be hanging on them. Not that they’ll do anything about it other than piss off some of the more ornery ones who don’t take kindly to rejection. I’ve had to end a downright brawl before—they lost a few heads in the process.”

Cin laughed and Ona immediately loved her.

The house was amazing. The front foyer was three stories tall and the entire place was filled with nice furniture—lots of leather but nothing really ostentatious. They made their way up a marble staircase to a room at the end of the long, wide hallway. Cin waved behind her, “At the top of the stairs, we have our bedroom, a library, sauna, stuff like that. Tiago never goes up there.”

She opened the door to a large bedroom. Covered with the same type of red comforter Tiago had had in the hotel, a king size bed dominated the far wall. Dark furniture accented the light brown stone floor. Red curtains parted slightly to show the peek of darkness that proved they were late.

“The house has been updated periodically to make it more fire-proof. You’ll see it comes in handy.” Cin crossed to a suitcase and hefted it onto the bed. “Let’s see what kind of dress he found for you.”

“Listen, I have some motorcycle leathers in my saddlebags.”

“A woman’s armor is her best dress. Trust me on this. You will want to look your finest because these demons have supernatural abilities to appear so good-looking you’ll just want to stare at them all day. Luckily, Vedo isn’t so easily bespelled, after being subjected to it for so long.
