CHAPTER FOURTEEN

KNOX

I slap my hand down on the other side of the dining room table where Cassius and Dracon sit. Both their gazes snap up to me, and a smile escapes. I can’t help it. I love what I do, and they’re going to love to hear what I discovered even more.

“Guess what I found out?” I say, wiping my bloody hand down the front of my shirt to clean it. After Cassius and I brought Eve back to her room to sleep off her stupor, I went back to the vamp in my bedroom. It took a few more hours since he was a stubborn one, but I finally got him to tell me some useful information.

Cassius watches me, intrigued, from over his mug of coffee–the demon drinks enough to make a human go into cardiac arrest–while Dracon eyes me unimpressed, like always.

“You got the vamp to talk?” Cassius replies excitedly, which causes my smile to grow. At least someone appreciates my skills in this place.

“Did you ever doubt me?”

“When it comes to death, not even for a second,” Cassius says.

Now he’s just flattering me.

“Of course, I got him to talk,” I tell him. “Didn’t take too long. Actually, I wish he put up a bit more of a fight.”

“You’re one crazy bastard, you know that, right?”

I only tilt my head to the side. Is he still complimenting me? I’m not sure.

Impatient, Cassius waves for me to go on. “Out with it. You can’t leave us hanging here. I want to know.”

I stretch my neck first to the left and then the right, working out the kinks. I don’t need any of the fancy gadgets and whatnot that humans use to extract information. I like to do it the old-fashioned way, and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Boy, it was nice to just splay that vamp open and feel his blood color my skin, especially after what he’d done to Eve.

“Knox,” Cassius snaps, reminding me they’re still waiting.

“Ladir changing the location wasn’t because of rats,” I tell the others, leaning over the table as my excitement bubbles up. The rush of killing someone is a high like no other for me. As if I just took whatever drugs Cassius is taking nowadays, I’m still jittery from it. Hopped up on the memory of watching his soul leave his body. The terror in his eyes the moment he realized he wasn’t leaving my room alive.

Oh, it was exquisite.

“And?” Dracon’s deep voice finally injects into the conversation. His brow is cocked, his patience wearing thin too.

Better skip to the end.

“The Lords of Night got to him,” I say.

Cassius shakes his head before saying, “But he’s terrified of the Lords.”

“Exactly, and so getting him to cooperate was easy.” I curled my fingers into a fist at my side with enough force to have my knuckles cracking. “Ladir was a plot to draw us and Eve to them.”

“Eve? What does she have to do with this?” Dracon asks.

“They wanted to bring out her power and figure out what the hell she really is.
