Chapter Seven

Rafe stood at the edge of the dance floor as Moira and Rex disappeared on the far side. Voices clamored for attention in his head, and he repelled them. He started to look for Moira, then in his peripheral vision he saw the woman in the leather lure Carter into a dark corner. He trusted Moira—she had the fortitude of any of the demon hunters trained at Olivet, and cunning instincts. Carter was a cop unversed in supernatural danger. He didn’t want to leave Moira for even a minute, but he had to get Carter out of here.

He strode over to the cop and said, “We’re leaving.”

Carter grimaced. “You’d kill me if I touched your woman, so let me have my own fun.”

The brunette grinned, her long red fingernails running up and down Carter’s neck. She leaned over and kissed him full on the mouth. Rafe would have left Carter to his own fate, except that the cop wouldn’t have been here if it weren’t for Rafe and Moira.

An overwhelming knowledge of immediate danger to Moira swelled within him. He couldn’t explain it, didn’t want to think about where it came from, but he trusted his instincts. He said to Carter, “Drink nothing,” then he turned and ran back to the dance floor.

At first he couldn’t see her. The lights were almost completely out, but then the spotlight flashed on something in the far corner. He pushed his way through the crowd.

Moira was struggling. One of her hands was raised as if she were holding a dagger turned to reflect magic back to her attacker, but there was nothing in her hand. If someone was attacking Moira with battle magic, she was unprotected.

The blonde from the stage had a grip on her and for a moment Rafe saw fear cross Moira’s face before defiance.

He twisted the blonde’s arm until she let go of Moira’s wrist, then he put himself between them. “She said she was leaving.”

Rafe wrapped his arm tight around Moira’s waist, holding her up. She was shaking and trying to regain her strength.

“I never want to see you here again,” the woman told them both.

Without another word, Rafe walked out with Moira.

Rain poured on them as they exited the building. Rafe took off his trench coat and put it around Moira. “I’m fine,” she said, breathless.

“Like hell.” He waved his arm toward where Grant watched from the corner.

Grant’s car squealed down the street.

“It was her.” Moira took a deep breath and began to regain her strength. “She was the source of all the darkness. It surrounds her, like a cloak. Radiating from her. She has a black soul, empty. It’s already been sold.”

Grant slammed on the brakes and Rafe put Moira in the backseat. “I’m going back for Carter.”

“What happened?” Grant demanded of Moira as Rafe ran back inside the club. Rafe couldn’t hear her answer.

Rafe had his knife in hand by the time he faced the bouncer at the Defiance entrance. Was this supposed criminal informant
