Jonas paced in front of the bid north-facing picture window, out onto the front lawn of the estate. It was still weird that they were living in the house Castillo had owned. At least he’d kept the house somewhat normal. The dungeon in the basement of the pool house and the medical exam room down the hall were the only things that remained to indicate his fetishes.

“Yes. I understand,” Michael said into the phone, sitting on the edge of that dinosaur of a mahogany desk on the west wall. “We will keep her safe until then.”

Jonas shook his head. They weren’t going to take Elena. It wasn’t an option. He didn’t know how he’d manage to stop the entire Council, but he would.

The phone clicked shut. Jonas turned and opened his mouth, but Michael held up a hand. “Let me tell you what we’re doing, first.”

Jonas sighed and started pacing again.

“That was Khalil,” Michael said. “He says the council is undecided about whether to turn her or to keep her human and put her in a lab. I’m pushing for human since she won’t have a say in the decision. Then, if she wants to do it later, I’m sure they’ll let her.”

A growl started low in his chest; Jonas fought to keep it down. He gritted his teeth, and his hands shook. “This isn’t fair, Michael.”

The padrone arched a brow. “Why do you care?”

He swallowed hard, fighting back the beast inside him. He wasn’t going to answer that. He didn’t have to.

“You’re involved with her. A human?” Michael folded his arms over his chest. “Isn’t that a little fragile for your taste, Jonas?”

“Fuck you.”

Michael jabbed his finger at him. “Watch it!”

The padrone let out a long breath. His hand moved to his face, rubbing his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. “You know what I mean, Jonas. I have to be so careful with Tori.

And you live for that dungeon. Can she handle that?”

Probably not. “I don’t know.”

“Is this about Tori?”

“It’s not about Tori.” He sighed. “I tried to avoid her. If I’d have known she was the scientist, I wouldn’t have gone.”

“You already knew her?”

“From the club.”

“It was only open two nights.”

“Yeah.” Jonas turned to look out the window again. “I can’t let them take her, Michael.”

“You’re not going to have a choice.” Michael was suddenly behind him, clamping a hand on his shoulder. “They’ll kill you.

You can’t do her any good if you’re dead.”

It was almost like Michael was reading his mind now. “I didn’t get it before.”

“What?”

“Why you were willing to go down this road again. With another human.”

Michael laughed. “Wasn’t a choice.”

Jonas nodded.

“It’s not like with Elizabeth.” Michael got quiet. “I smell your human. She’s in the house.”

Jonas stiffened.

“Go on. I’ll let you know if anything changes on this end.

I’ll see what I can do on my end. Khalil owes me.”

“All right.” He turned and walked to the door. As he opened it, he turned back to Michael again. “Thanks.”

“Don’t thank me yet.
