Junga turned from the sight of the recent catch of humans, those with no magic, tied up in the middle of the small ballroom’s floor. Many of the soon-to-be-demon-food whimpered while some cursed, others prayed.

“Do it now,” Junga said, facing Darkwolf in her Elizabeth form, a scowl on her face. “I don’t care what you have to do, but perform a summoning. Bring the queen and the Old One.”

Darkwolf glared at her, the domination in his eyes causing her to ache and throb. But she wasn’t backing down. She was in control, and she would make sure he knew that.

He unclenched his jaw. “As I told you, there are not enough warlocks to summon the Fomorii from the depths of Underworld. We need a few more of the D’Anu witches to cooperate to make thirteen.”

Junga stretched to Elizabeth’s full height, and it infuriated her that Darkwolf was still taller. Her hands shifted into her enhanced Fomorii claws, and she bared her now needlelike teeth. Her voice came out deep and guttural, a combination of Elizabeth and Junga. “You will obey.”

The fury in the warlock high priest’s eyes told her that he would seek his revenge in other ways. The thought made her shiver with lust.

Darkwolf swung away from her, past the humans, and strode to the five remaining warlocks and one witch. “Move into position.”

The warlock turned and faced the witches who were in his magical prison. “Who among you will join with the Balorites?” He paced the length of the shimmering wall before the remaining witches and apprentices.

Not one of them spoke. Some didn’t look at him, while others studied him almost casually as if he were nothing but a bothersome fly.

He whirled on the apprentices and focused on them. “You each have burgeoning powers not yet fully explored. Would you wait for these fools to die so that you might replace them one day?” He walked up to one female apprentice who looked scared, yet intrigued. “Would you not prefer to embrace your magic and come into your full power now? At this very moment?”

The witch licked her lips. Her eyes were wide and indecisive. Junga could see how tired the apprentice was, how badly she wanted her freedom. The warlocks were never beaten, never threatened, unlike the witches who all sported scratches, claw marks, and bruises.

Darkwolf’s eyes turned starkly sensual, his words coming out soft and alluring. “You will experience power beyond your imagination.”

He used a motion of his hands to push away the magical shield from the apprentice, leaving her free. It immediately closed behind her, caging in the rest of the witches. He grasped her by the shoulders, his gaze focused intently on hers. “What do you say, witch?”

She licked her lips again. Cleared her throat. “Yes,” she finally said, and Junga saw the horror reflected in the other witches’ eyes. “I will join you.”

His smile for the witch was so carnal that the urge to claw his eyes out came sharp and sudden to Junga.
