The three of us didn’t speak as we hurried from the supernatural bar back to the hotel. I think we just wanted to get back as quickly as possible, lest some other unknown supernatural threat emerge and threaten our lives tonight.

Luckily there were no signs of Azazel, and we made it back safely.

The moment we shut the door to our suite, Noah turned to me with fire blazing in his eyes. “Now you can finally answer my question,” he said with so much anger that it seemed like he was about to explode then and there.

I stepped back in surprise. It seemed like forever since the rougarou had snatched us, but I knew exactly what question he was referring to. The memory of it flashed through my mind—the question he’d asked after we’d slain Joe the demon.

He wanted to know what I was thinking by walking off with Joe instead of letting him handle the situation his way.

“The demons clearly want me for a reason, and they’re able to sniff me out of a crowd—even after I drank the cloaking potion.” I held his gaze, not willing to show any doubt regarding my plan. If I did, he’d reject it in a heartbeat. Well, he’d likely reject my plan in a heartbeat no matter what, but if I were confident about it, maybe he’d give it some consideration later. “We should use this knowledge to our advantage and use me as bait.”

Noah blinked a few times and stared at me, as if what I’d said was absurd. “Absolutely not,” he said, the decision sounding final.

“Why not?” I asked. “It worked tonight.”

“Because it puts you at more risk than necessary,” he said. “Sage and I hunted demons just fine without you. We didn’t need bait before, so we certainly don’t need you to act as bait now.”

We all remained standing in the center of the living room, way too worked up from everything that had just happened to sit down. At some point while Noah and I were talking, Sage must have turned on the electronic fireplace. As it crackled and burned, it reflected the tension sizzling in the air between us.

“I know that you were fine hunting demons without me,” I said. “You’ve only reminded me a gazillion times. But compared to the other times you’ve hunted demons, did this hunt go faster or slower?”

“There was no difference,” Noah said.

At the same time Sage said, “Faster. Definitely faster.”

I turned to Sage, trusting her more than Noah in this instance. “Do you think using me as bait made the hunt tonight go faster?” I asked. “Or was it just a coincidence?”

She looked at Noah, guilt crossing her features. I sort of got it—they were hunting partners. She met him before she met me, so her loyalty was to him. She didn’t want to say anything that might upset him.

But a faster hunt meant I could get to Avalon sooner, and therefore save my mom sooner. I didn’t like upsetting Noah, but my mom’s life came first.
