Chapter Five

The last time Dray had come to the succubus's club, he had been led here by another silencer with as many odd connections as he had—Blanchefleur. She had not provided too many explanations beyond saying that the owner of the club, V, had helped her when her mate had died.

Thinking back, Dray remembered getting a strange feeling when he'd stepped through the doors. He had done his best not to dwell on it at the time. He was naturally wary of locations like the club. Not only was it a security nightmare for silencers, but there was something in the air that simply confused the senses. The light seemed blindingly bright, and the beat of the music pulsed through his veins, distracting him.

The club hadn't changed in the slightest since then, but the difference was that now, Dray had his mate with him, and their bond anchored him, keeping him focused. The bouncers didn't stop them, and they made their way to V's office with no impediment—which unsettled him greatly.

Ian's hold on his hand tightened, and Dray took comfort in that. Even if Ian might not have faith in himself, Dray had faith in him.

The door was already open when they reached V's office. The succubus was seated behind her desk, reading some documents. "You're back," she said without looking at them. "I did not expect you."

The comment was obviously addressed to Dray. "Yes, well... Things happen."

"I am sorry for this," she replied, not sounding very sorry at all. "I really did believe..."

V looked up from her papers and froze when her eyes fell on Ian. It was strikingly reminiscent of the time she'd first been given the succubus seal that Remy had found.

"Get in and close the door," she whispered.

They complied, although it went more along the line of them stepping into the room and the door closing on its own. Magic. Dray would have said he really hated it if his mate hadn't clearly had some sort of magic of his own.

As it was, Dray took position in front of his mate once more, because how could he not? The last time he'd been in this office, he'd literally lost his mind and this woman had stabbed him.

Being here again was so far beyond his comfort zone it wasn't even funny. But where else could they go? Who could they turn to that would even hope to understand?

It was naturally a rhetorical question, but he would have felt better about his decision if something had actually happened after they'd entered the room. Instead, they all simply looked at one another, as if they were stuck in a video that had been suddenly paused.

"Err... Hi," Ian said at last, breaking the almost ominous silence.

"Hello," V replied, still staring.

Well, this was definitely not what Dray had expected. He looked from Ian to V, wondering what in the world he was supposed to do now.

"I'm Ian," his mate offered tentatively.

"I'm Victoria," came the reply.

All right, that was strange. Well, stranger. The succubus had never introduced herself to Dray, not with her complete name.
