Chapter Six

Hilton shouted as he was tossed from the bed and hit the floor. Jaden spun, his wings expanding as he snarled at the intruders. Hilton had no clue what was going on, but he was keeping his butt on the floor and away from those scary men.

“Took me a long time to find you,” the man who stood in front of the others said.

“How did you get past my wards?” Jaden asked.

“A little dark-magic bartering,” the man said. “Enough talk.”

Jaden leaped off the bed and stood between Hilton and the intruders. Power emanated through the room. It sizzled over Hilton’s body, making him cry out in pain as the guy who’d spoken spread his arms. Blue light zapped and arched from his hands, and electricity branched throughout the room.

Before Jaden could attack, the man directed the current at him. Jaden flew backward, hitting the wall behind Hilton. But he didn’t stay down. Jaden let go of a feral growl before he was back on his feet, charging the guy as the others watched, malice gleaming in their eyes.

With a swipe of Jaden’s arm, the man who had attacked Jaden exploded. Hilton covered his head, bile rising to the back of his throat as blood and other nasty, gooey parts hit the walls and him. He would need to scrub in a hot shower for the next year to get the feeling off him.

Hilton scrambled under the bed when Jaden turned to the other men. He heard screams and what sounded like bones snapping, then the room fell silent. Hilton gasped for breath, afraid to move as Jaden dropped to one knee and looked under the bed. He was still in his true form.

“Come out, my little bunny.”

Hilton shifted and tried to scurry away, but Jaden grabbed his back leg and pulled him from under the bed. Hilton shook like crazy but noticed that both the men and the bloody mess were gone.

“This is why I fought against claiming you.” Jaden’s clawed hand brushed down Hilton’s spine as he cradled Hilton close to his chest. “This is only the beginning. Death has many enemies, and they will stop at nothing to get their hands on you.”

For the first time since finding out Jaden was his mate, Hilton wondered if he could handle the baggage that came along with that role.

“But it’s too late now.” Jaden kept caressing Hilton. “We are mated, but my promise still stands. You are the most protected being in the universe.”

Hilton shifted and sat naked on Jaden’s lap. His heart beat so fast he should’ve had a heart attack. “You call that protected? What the hell was that guy?”

“A demon who took exception to the fact I wouldn’t barter with him to avenge his brother’s death.”

“I feel your anger.”

“I’m shielding you from the worst of it.”

“Why?”

“Because if you felt the full force, your blood would boil and melt you from the inside out.” Jaden set Hilton on the bed and stood. “Being mated to me is dangerous.
