The club was already hopping by the time we made it out onto the floor. Raucous cheers went up when the cages lowered and we all climbed inside. I didn’t dare scan the crowd. Eisheth would be out there somewhere. And Lucifer. I needed to stay as calm and collected as possible.

The metal groaned beneath me as I hurtled up toward the ceiling. I clung onto the golden bars to hold myself steady, wondering how I would pull this off in heels. These things swayed at the best of times, and knocking my head again would be a great way to bring unnecessary attention onto myself.

The birdcage slowed to a stop and swung on its chain. Music blared from the speakers, hectic and upbeat. I tried to calm my racing heart and give in to the feel of the music. The melody pulsed into my ears, driving out my panic and fear. And so I moved.

As the songs ticked by, I finally worked up the nerves to let my eyes wander through the club. There, in the back left corner, Phenex and Valac stood with arms crossed over their chests. Relief came like a sigh. They were okay. Lucifer hadn’t gotten to them. Whatever had happened on that bridge, they’d both left unscathed.

I cast my gaze around. Stolas stood in the back right, alone. He looked as solid and unyielding as stone. Caim was down near the front. Bael stood near the door leading backstage, and Az was…

Sitting with Eisheth in a booth.

She leaned in close to him with a smug smile and tapped her red-tipped fingernail against his cheek. He responded with a grin of his own. I stopped dancing as a jealous rage whipped through me like a storm. My mouth dropped open. Blood curdled in my veins.

What the fuck was he doing? Az hated Eisheth. She’d destroyed one of his Legion, and now he was tucked into a dark booth with her?

“Hello, Sansa,” a voice murmured into my ear.

Shock punched me in the gut as I whirled from side to side. Lucifer had followed me up here, but where was he? Nowhere to be seen. Fisting my hands, I searched the club for any sign of him. He was doing that weird-ass thing I’d sworn Az had done when we’d first met. Speak to me from a distance. It must have been a demon thing. Eerie and creepy as hell.

“You won’t find me up there, darling,” he said in a purr. “Tell me, what do you think about your dear Asmodeus getting cozy with his former lover?”

I snorted. “I don’t know why he’s doing it, but there’ll be a reason. I know what Eisheth did to him.”

“You mean the death of poor Morax?” Lucifer asked. Gritting my teeth, I continued to search the club for his face. I still hadn’t spotted him. Where the hell was he? “Interesting that he would share such intimate details with a wolf. He won’t even discuss it with me. His King.”

I bit back my next retort, too close to saying something I’d regret.
