CHAPTER 16

Approaching footsteps turned my attention to two bulky men skulking up the street. I craned my neck to get a better look, and two pairs of glossy onyx eyes stared back at me. My pulse kicked up a notch. So they were demons? This was the Lower East Side. This was where most of the supes lived.

“What’s wrong?” Jay peered around me to see over my shoulder.

“Nothing, don’t worry about it.”

The shuffle of footsteps grew closer, and the tension swimming through my insides intensified.

“Good evening.” The men encircled our table, the taller one cocking his head in my direction. He sniffed the air then his dark gaze turned to Jay, and his lips curled.

I seared the tall one with my most intimidating glare. “You’re kind of ruining our date, dudes. Would you mind backing off a little?”

Jay’s head snapped back at my comment, but luckily, he didn’t open his mouth.

“Our apologies,” said the other one, holding his hands up in the air. Black claws instead of nails curled from his thick fingers.

Jay gasped, and he buried his head into the hookah.

The two men lowered their hulking bodies into the table a few feet away from us. Great.

“What are they?” Jay whisper-hissed.

I pressed my finger to my lips and pointed at my ears, hoping he’d get it. All supes had super sensitive hearing. “Demons,” I mouthed.

Jay’s eyes widened, and he practically screeched, “Check, please!”

I kept my eye on the two guys as we waited for the server to cash us out. They whispered amongst themselves, and I cursed myself for not being born with supe senses. I knew a spell or two to magnify sounds, but the last thing I wanted was to draw attention.

As soon as we’d paid, I grabbed Jay’s hand and yanked him out of his chair. The streets were quiet, this part of the Lower East Side nothing like the packed touristy areas of downtown. Luckily, we weren’t too far from the subway station.

I glanced over my shoulder every few steps to make sure we weren’t being followed.

“Do you think they’re going to come after us?” Jay asked, anxiously swiveling his head back.

“No. There’d be no reason for them to.” I was being paranoid; I was sure of it. Ryder’s over-protectiveness was making me crazy. I wasn’t marked, and there was no reason for some random demons to attack us.

“Then why are we walking so fast?” panted Jay.

I slowed my pace, not realizing I’d been practically sprinting and dragging Jay behind me. All the training had paid off, and I’d finally gotten faster. “I’d rather put some distance between us just in case. Plus, I don’t want to be that late getting back to Darkhen.”

“Okay…”

The Grand Street subway station was only a few blocks away. We just had to make it through this sketchy part of town, and we’d be safe. There were always tourists milling around China Town looking for knock-off designer handbags.

The faint sound of trailing footfalls echoed behind us. I spun around, but with the fading light and broken streetlamps, I couldn’t make out anything more than dark shadows.
