Chapter 8 – Angels and Demons and Vampires, Oh My

Jax stood unnaturally still for long moments after David Corrigan left, his eyes surreptitiously seeking out Ana Masterson. The resemblance was uncanny.

“Why did you not tell me of Ryssa’s special powers?” Vlane asked him bluntly. His voice was even, controlled, but his eyes flashed. When Jax petitioned for her release from Karthik at the same time as his own, he hadn’t mentioned any special gifts. Vlane believed, as he was meant to, that the girl was just a preferred source of food.

His new master’s displeasure pulsed in subtle waves of unseen energy. Vlane was at the top of the Extraordinary food chain; being uninformed obviously did not sit well with him. Jax regretted that, but there was little he could do.

Jax forced his eyes away from Ana and met those of his new master. “I cannot speak of it.”

Vlane’s eyes narrowed. “Cannot or will not?”

The clenched jaw and fists made his answer redundant. “Cannot.”

“A binding?” Vlane murmured, his umbrage morphing into curiosity. Jax’s entire body tensed, confirming his suspicions.

“What is a binding?” Ana asked. Fairly new to this world of Extraordinaries, she had much to learn. Vlane’s eyes softened as they always did when he looked to his bride.

“It is similar to an oath or a vow, but it does not have to be given willingly. It is especially powerful when invoked with magickal blood, such as that of an immortal.” He looked back to Jax and narrowed his eyes. If the young vamp had been using the female as an exclusive food source, that kind of bond would extend far beyond simple loyalty and trust.

Ana nodded as she picked up her husband’s thoughts. “Jax is protecting her. But David Corrigan could speak freely, because he has no such bond.”

Vlane smiled in approval. “David Corrigan is a human. His whole existence is based in the mortal plane. He does not fully understand the knowledge she has revealed to him.”

“Isn’t that dangerous? For both of them?”

“Given his reticence, I doubt he has openly spoken of her with others. He was clearly uncomfortable.” Vlane gave a half smile. “And who would believe him? Mortals would scoff, and he is not the type to cavort with Extraordinaries.”

Having lived most of her life among mortals and being unaware of preternatural beings herself until recently, that was something he knew Ana would readily understand. “David Corrigan is a wealthy, well-respected businessman in the local community. If he started talking about angels and seers, that could change quickly.”

“Unfortunately,” Vlane continued with a frown, “David Corrigan can no longer include himself among the uninformed. He struggles with even the limited knowledge he now carries.”

“He only knows of Ryssa.”

“We cannot be sure of that. David Corrigan is a clever, intelligent man. If he has been using his own methods to seek her out, he may have inadvertently been exposed to others.”

“He showed up at the Seven Circles one night,” Jax confirmed. “He never should have made it over the threshold, but he used Ryssa’s name.
