CHAPTER 7

Andreu exhaled a soft curse as Payne entered through the doors at the back of the theatre, and moved closer to Varya, consumed by an overwhelming need to protect her. Varya feared Payne. It had been there in her eyes when she had asked Andreu to keep Payne away. If Varya was right and he was part incubus, it would explain his strange behaviour where she was concerned and his knowledge of her kind.

“Where did you go?” Antoine’s voice echoed around the height of the empty theatre. “I told you not to leave the building.”

“And I told you I would have no part in this.” Payne’s retort was little more than a dark growl. He stalked down the aisle, gaze set on Antoine, blacker than midnight. It didn’t move from him even when Snow and Javier entered from the side doors.

When it did eventually leave the aristocrat male, it came to rest on Varya, widened, and then blazed red.

“What did you do to her?” Payne flew onto the stage in a fit of white-hot rage and grabbed Antoine by the collar of his silver shirt. He lifted Antoine off his feet, growling into his face, fangs bared. Bright sparks of blue and gold flashed in Payne’s red eyes and the elaborate markings on his thick forearms changed colour, darkening to shades of deep forest green and fathomless blue, then to obsidian and crimson.

“Think twice before going through with whatever dumb idea is racing through that thick head of yours, Payne.” Snow appeared next to Payne, his claws pressed against the elite vampire’s neck and his tone deceptively calm and cool.

Payne’s eyes slid to him and he set Antoine back down on his feet.

Snow turned his diamond gaze on his younger brother. “I also wish to know what you have done to this female.”

Antoine backed away from Payne and Snow, and straightened his shirt.

Payne crouched next to Varya, causing her to shuffle backwards towards Andreu, and hissed a ripe curse before turning to look up at Antoine. “Did you know what you were doing when you placed that goddamned collar on her?”

“Stopping her from leaving so we could question her, as the fae I contacted said that it would.”

“Well, you certainly stopped her from leaving,” Payne muttered and went to touch the marks but Varya hissed at him, baring her small fangs. Andreu placed his right arm between them, shielding her and ready to pull her against him if Payne tried anything. Payne withdrew his hand and his frown hardened. “You might have wanted to look into it a little first.”

Andreu’s blood turned to ice. He looked down at Varya and she turned her face away.

“What is it?” he said but she didn’t answer. He looked to Payne instead.

Payne’s lips compressed into a grim line. “She is bound to whoever is at the other end of the spell. Under normal circumstances, it would not be so bad. She would be free to come and go by order of her master and could live a relatively normal life.
