Chapter Twelve

There was a loud clapping noise which startled the two of them before Ella had a chance to respond. Both their heads whipped around.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?”

She stiffened. Standing a few feet away, leaning against the wall was the perfectly manicured blonde vampire hell-bent on causing trouble.

“Raquel.”

Lukas’ voice was like ice as he stood. She shrank back into the chair, clutching her drink in her hand.

“Have you come to offer me a deal?”

“Cut the crap, Raquel. You know Gavin called me to deal with your little demon problem.”

Raquel’s smile was deadly.

“Of course, how could I forget? But you did bring your little pet girlfriend with you.”

Raquel’s eyes wandered over Ella in a distinctly predatory way. She jumped up, hiding behind Lukas’ tall frame after she’d set the glass on the table.

“I won’t tell you again. She is mine.”

“Explain something to me then.” Raquel stalked towards them, eyes blazing. “Why can’t I smell you on her?”

“Raquel.” There was warning in his voice.

“Haven’t you fucked her yet, Lukas? I see the way you look at each other. Where is her brand?”

Brand? What was Raquel talking about?

“Fuck off, Raquel.”

The vampire laughed, throwing her head back in glee.

“Oh. You think I don’t know about your little curse. Poor demon with half a soul.”

“You don’t know a fucking thing about me.”

“Don’t I? All those poor girls you’ve been with, damned for eternity.”

Ella’s eyes were wide with confusion. She’d never seen him look so enraged. He was struggling to maintain control. She could see his fingernails lengthening, growing dark. His demonic form was itching to get out.

“Lukas, let’s just go,” Ella said.

He didn’t seem to hear her as the demon and vampire stared each other down. He took two steps towards Raquel, leaving Ella on her own.

“What you going to do, demon? Fight me?”

“Your reign of terror has gone on far too long, Raquel.”

He closed the distance between them, eyes blazing with uncontained fury.

“Careful, demon. You don’t want to start a war now, do you?”

“Leave. Ella. Alone.”

“You’d love that, wouldn’t you? You could go back to playing house with the girl.” Raquel smiled. “Seize her.”

Ella shrank back as two vampires appeared out of the shadows in front of her.

“Do not fucking touch her.”

Lukas stepped away from Raquel and stared at the two men. They seemed to hesitate, looking between Raquel and Lukas with concern.

“Don’t listen to him.”

“You know what I will do to you if you so much as lay a hand on her. Ella, come here.”

He put a hand out to her. She hesitated, looking at the vampires with uncertainty.

“What are you two waiting for? Grab the girl.”

She stepped away from the two of them and slowly made her way over to Lukas. He wrapped an arm around her, shielding her from the vamps.

“You two are fucking useless cowards.”

The two vamps disappeared behind a door marked ‘Staff Only’.

“We are leaving now, Raquel. Do not seek to follow me. I will not hesitate next time.”

Raquel glared at him but said nothing further.
