Chapter Six

Megaera had never had so much sex in all her life. Or wanted so much. Not even in the days of the decline of Rome.

She knew they’d have to talk about the fact they were joined forever, but Meg supposed if they were joined forever, they had forever to discuss it. Circular logic always made her feel better.

Sudden pain shot through her—like a million razorblades sliding beneath her skin. Her power blazed but gave her no relief, only intensified the pain. Her veins stood out starkly black against the pale cream of her skin and she knew she didn’t have much time left. She had to find out who the killer was.

But first, Megaera had to know if Esme Payne on 34th street was the same Esme Payne Marcus believed he’d killed. Then maybe he’d trust her, trust in her, and they could solve the murders together.

She knocked on the witch’s door and Esme answered immediately. She was a beautiful woman, with a raven’s fall of black hair around her shoulders and large, dark eyes rimmed with thick lashes. Her lips were painted a deep red to match her long, flowing dress.

“What brings you around at this hour, Fury?” Esme smiled, a genuine expression.

“I must ask you two things.”

“One is magickal and one is personal, yes?” Esme pushed the door wider and Meg followed her inside the large restored Victorian.

“Yes.”

“The first?” Esme walked into the kitchen and began making preparations for tea.

“There are four dead Amazons. The most recent was Galatea.”

Esme spun back around to face her. “No! She was so young! What happened? Mission go bad?”

“No, she was murdered.”

“Hell.” Esme sagged against the counter. “I just saw her last week. She wanted a birth-control potion.”

“Do you know who she was sleeping with? It wasn’t for Nicodemus Frost, was it?”

Esme looked stricken. “What does that bastard have to do with any of this? Is he the one killing the Amazons?” Blue energy crackled around her fingertips.

“No. Galatea was living in his guesthouse. Supposedly she was working for him.”

“Dear Goddess! Does he know where I am? Did she—”

“No, it’s nothing like that. You didn’t answer my question. Did you know who Galatea was seeing?”

“Some cop. Said she met him in your shop.”

“What?”

“Tall, dark hair. Said he looked very Goth for a cop. Ian something?”

Marcus’ partner? No, that would be… Just no. It wasn’t possible. “Spinner?”

“That’s it. Ian Spinner.”

“He’s the detective investigating the murders.” Meg watched Esme carefully before speaking again. “Him and his partner—Marcus Kage.”

Esme’s pale skin blanched even whiter. “Who?”

“Marcus Kage. It’s good to have a Lycanos on our side, don’t you think, Esme?”

The witch didn’t bother to try any subterfuge. “Are you here to judge me as a Fury would, Meg?” Esme looked up at her, doe eyes wet with unshed tears.

“No. Not as of yet. You’ve been a great ally to Athena and her people. But you have to make this right. You have to tell Marcus that you’re not dead. He’s spent two centuries blaming himself, hating himself.
