Chapter

Thirteen

“I warned you that there was something off about her interest in the demons!” Kayden yelled.

“There’s nothing off about her interest. We’re just as interested as her, she’s just more willing to act than us,” Trey argued.

“You put her at risk,” Kayden growled.

“I protected her,” Trey growled back.

“Why are they after her? Does it have to do with the pull we feel, too?” Mason asked softly.

Pull they felt? What was he talking about?

Someone’s phone rang.

“It’s Caleb,” Kayden muttered.

“Answer it, idiot. He likely saw news footage of the attack,” Trey said.

My phone pinged with a text and all three growled.

“Why is that elf prince messaging her?” Mason grumbled.

I was laying down, most likely on a couch, on my back. Rolling onto my side, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. “What’s going on? What happened?”

All three sat on the couch opposite me.

“Here,” Kayden said and held out his phone.

“Hello?” I answered as I took it.

“Why did you approach the portal?” Caleb asked.

“Uh, about that. I was trying to see if the creatures might be non-hostile and communicate with us. No one has really tried to communicate with them before. I figured it was worth a try.”

He sighed so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear.

“I’m uninjured,” I said, “so no need to worry. I’ll call you later. Love you, bye.” I hung up and tossed the phone back to Kayden. “Where’s my phone? Did anyone else try to call?”

“No one important,” Mason muttered, but held out my phone.

“So, what’s next on our date?” I asked Trey with a wide smile.

“Swimming,” he answered.

Mason and Kayden gaped at him. I was also surprised by his agreeing to change the topic so quickly and not ask me the million questions likely on their minds.

“I don’t have a bathing suit. You didn’t warn me in advance.”

He smiled. “Shifted swimming.”

My eyes widened and I gasped. “Really?”

“You’re just going to continue your date and not ask the questions we need to ask?” Kayden demanded. “Not try to figure out what’s going on?”

Trey grabbed a duffel bag and slung it over his shoulder. “You can ask her whatever questions you want on your date. I’m not wasting my time.”

I blew Kayden a kiss and skipped after Trey, humming loudly because Kayden hated humming.

He gave me my wanted growl, making me smile wider.

“You’ve always angered him on purpose and I’ve always enjoyed it,” Trey said as we walked out the back door and down a concrete path lined with small solar lights that gave off just enough light to keep you on the path.

“How have you been?” I asked Trey. “Is traveling and hunting demons all it’s cracked up to be?”

“There have been rough days,” he said with a nod. “Most of the time, it’s just been one fight after another, simplistic and fun. There were a few times when one of them got injured enough to worry me, but they pulled through.”

“I heard your mom set you up on blind dates.”

He stopped so abruptly I almost ran into him.
