“The ladies are gone,” Simon said as he walked to the kitchen. He was still uneasy about her not being near him, but he’d have to let that go. Charlie wasn’t the type of woman who wanted to be coddled. “Let’s do some dumb shit.”

“One thing we need to take care of first, and he ain’t talking.” Teague poured gravy on a plate of food. “Willow gave him one of those anti-shift pills.” He reached in his pocket and pulled out a clear bag with a small ball that looked like it was covered in powdered sugar. “And this is the truth spell.”

Holy shit. Simon had forgotten about the rogue from yesterday. They had him locked in one of the cells below them in the community hall. He hadn’t even thought about him.

Damon slapped a hand on his shoulder and chuckled. “Forgot you broke his buddy’s neck a few nights ago?”

Simon blinked and gave a slow nod. Where the hell was his head? “Yeah. Didn’t even think about him.” He scratched his beard in thought. His mind should be on revenge.

“Charlie on the brain?” Jax laughed.

They all helped clean the dining area. Teague walked back up the stairs and washed his hands. “He told me to go fuck myself but thanked me for bringing his plate. Apparently, Audra took him his lunch. He asked that she not be allowed near him again.”

Jax put his hands on his hips and leaned back, barking out a laugh so full it filled the entire hall. “Sounds like she’s the designated food giver to that twatwaffle.”

“What about Jace?” Simon muttered, looking out the front window in the direction of where his brother lived. “I just met Charlie. If she would have rejected me…” he trailed off, shaking his head.

They wall knew the rest of those unspoken words. If Charlie had turned away from him, he would have been the next one to be put down. And not in the ‘sleeping for the next one-hundred years’ sense. Soul or no soul, his mate turning away from him would have been an end to his life. Every man in this room knew it.

Simon cleared his throat and walked toward the door. “You all deal with the rogue. Let me talk to Jace,” he said, stopping to look over his shoulder.

“Wow,” Damon said, voice full of disbelief. His almost yellow eyes were wide as he crossed his arms over his chest. “You volunteering to talk to Jace about his feelings?” He looked at Simon like he’d never seen him before. “I’m going to do something really nice and sweet for your mate. She deserves it. And don’t give me the fucking finger.”

Simon chuckled and turned back toward the door. “I wasn’t.”

Before he even had a plan of what he was going to say, Simon was standing in front of Jace’s door waiting for him to answer. He’d already knocked two times. He knew Jace was in there. He could hear him moving around and muttering to himself.

The night was cool.
