Chapter 6

Echo rested a hand on the landing rail. Heavy metal music rocked off the walls, and dizzy, flashing strobe lights made the dancers appear as if they were on an all-time high. Most probably were.

“We could go elsewhere. A quiet bar at a hotel—even the movies,” Aethan said from behind her. His hands caressed her upper arms, but she knew it was more to keep her close, without the crowds jostling into her.

“Movies?” She laughed, cutting him a quick look over her shoulder and met his brooding stare. “You hate sitting still for so long.” Despite the loud noise, she knew Aethan could hear every word she said, just as she now could with her new heightened senses. Looking forward again, she took in the busy nightclub. It was in the worst part of The Lower East Side, but she didn't care. Nor was she letting Aethan off the hook. “Besides, what fun is there in a quiet bar? I like this place.”

“I don’t.”

She sighed. Before she could respond, a stir on her right pulled her attention away. A big blond god jogged down the stairs from the upper VIP level. The few people walking up parted like the Red Sea. Týr’d probably coined the phrased ‘drop dead dazzling.’ He barely noticed the patrons’ gawking as he stopped beside her and Aethan near the balustrade.

He winked at her, his toffee-brown eyes filling with laughter. Judging from Aethan’s dark expression—yep, her man finally knew who was responsible for telling her.

Týr wasn’t fazed at all. “I need your mate for a sec, gorgeous.”

“Týr, he knows you told me,” she said with a wry smile. She moved away from Aethan’s side. “I’ll wait for you at the bar.”

“No—”

“I’ll be fine, Aethan. Talk. Meet me there when you're done.” Deftly, she slipped away before he could stop her and weaved her way through the masses, past the crowded dance floor, and to the packed bar. A rail-thin blonde knocked into her and glared like it was all Echo’s fault. In this swarming place, people were bumping into each other all the time.

Ignoring her, Echo squeezed into a just-vacated seat at the packed bar. She ordered her drink and swiveled in her stool to face the raving crowd.

Despite the bar’s distance from the dance floor, it didn’t mute the crashing music.

The night had been perfect, well, except for those drunken idiots. It felt really good to be out—to be away from the castle, her lessons. She glanced back at the stairs but couldn’t see Aethan or Týr. They must have stepped away from the busy landing.

Echo? At his telepathic link, she smiled. Obviously, he’d sensed her looking for him.

I'm fine. Just having a drink…or maybe three, she teased.

A slight pause before he responded; Then you’ll be easy to spot. I’ll be there in a few.

Did he think she’d be the lush dancing on the counter? Snorting, Echo took her G&T from the bartender and sipped, enjoying the sharp lime taste.

The last time she’d been in this place, almost nine months ago, it had been the lowest point in their lives.
