CHAPTER ELEVEN

AQUARIUS GASPED. SYDNEY AND the men whirled, and her eyes opened wide when she spotted a familiar man and a dozen vicious berobed figures behind him. “Zain!” Before Sydney could process why he was standing at her doorstep with a bunch of blokes in robes behind him, their faces in shadow, he reached through the crowd and grabbed her hair. With a firm fist, Zain yanked her back against his front, positioning her like a human shield. He was wiry and deceptively strong. She struggled, fighting both the hold and the sudden pain. In mere seconds, he wrapped his other hand around her throat and squeezed.

“Let her go!” Caden demanded, lunging for her, fury carved into his face.

Constricting her throat, Zain dragged her out of Caden’s reach and surrounded himself with the cluster of hooded figures he’d arrived with. The pressure on her windpipe raked her with panic and her eyes stung with tears. Sydney wished like the devil that she’d been more cautious when Caden had warned her of the danger.

Zain clutched her throat tighter, burying his face in her neck. He inhaled long and loud. Then he growled, the sound ripe with disgust.

“You smell like him.” He tossed his head at Caden. “Every pore. Everywhere. The stench of integrity.”

“What the hell do you want?” Bram demanded.

“As if you have no notion.” Zain’s laugh was humorless. “Give me that book you’re holding, or the bitch dies.”

Sydney went cold. What would Zain do to her? At the office she’d gotten an odd vibe from him, but was he a killer? Apparently so, given his implacable voice and cruel grip. Why would he kill her for a little journal that granted sexual fantasies?

Or was the book capable of more?

“Seriously evil aura,” Aquarius murmured to Caden.

Ignoring the flower child, he reached for Sydney, fear for her in his fierce expression. His efforts to save her went straight to her heart, even as she worried Zain would hurt him, as well. Sydney wheezed, Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html

gasped for air. She flailed, feeling as if he would crush her throat and kill her at any moment.

Barreling past two of the freaks in robes, Caden charged to her rescue, elbowing one in the temple, punching the other in the nose. They crashed to the ground in a heap. Caden stepped over them and lunged for her. Bram and Duke were right behind him, felling more of what must be Anarki.

With a curse, Zain flicked his wrist and opened his free hand. Caden slammed into an invisible wall between them. Again he tried, and again, he crashed against it.

How the devil had Zain done that?

Bram flicked a wrist and a burst of light headed toward Zain—before stopping abruptly. Sydney blinked twice. Definitely magic.

She’d been right all these years. The paranormal existed! Now she had to stay alive long enough to write about it.

“Oh, you can block magic now. Been learning parlor tricks from Mathias?” Bram taunted.

Zain tensed. “I’m learning from a master. And learning well.
