CHAPTER 15

WE LIE, WE CHEAT, WE BARGAIN.

"Dammit, not again." Roger grumbled as threw his arms up in the air. "Demons are supposed to be rare, but now they're fucking everywhere."

The room was silent, the sudden shift in Jericho's demeanor sending a shockwave of curiosity and unease through the gathered crowd. Aryn and Parker exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of how to react to the demon's display of reverence.

"Jericho, you swore your fealty to me. Why are you kneeling to Parker?" Aryn spoke, but everyone watched Jericho for a response.

"You don't know?" Jericho looked toward Aryn's feet, but didn't stand or raise his head. The demon seemed reluctant to reveal the truth, as if he were guarding a secret.

"No, so you should enlighten me."

"This is where I remind you... again. I'm a demon. We're intentionally vague, unhelpful, and enjoy inciting chaos whenever possible. Being helpful is against everything that I stand for. Well, unless you command me to do so."

Something inside of me snapped. I wasn't sure if it was everything that had happened today, since the team showed up, or a compilation of all of it, but my patience was gone. Zero. Zilch. Maybe even negative. "Jericho, just fucking tell us."

Everyone's attention snapped to me, including a startled Aryn.

"I bow to you both," he said without raising his head, "because you share a bond far deeper than you could ever imagine. You are sisters."

The words hung in the air, their impact reverberating through The Wolf's Den like a thunderclap. Everyone went silent, struggling to process the astonishing revelation. Aryn and Parker stared at each other, their expressions a mixture of shock, disbelief, and wonder.

"What the hell kind of demon collecting fuckery is going on today?" Ryker snarled as he crossed his arms. "I can't handle anymore today... or ever."

Aryn stared at me. "That must be why it feels like I've met you before."

"Nope. All the nope. I barely learned that I'm part demon with a super annoying, soul-bartering gene donor. There's no way I have a sister I don't know about. Besides, I'm my mother's only kid."

Jericho shook his head. "Different mothers, but same father. Demon genes dominate human ones, so that makes you sisters as far as demons are concerned."

"Of course he answers her questions without sarcasm and actually provides information." Aryn huffed. Jo laughed until she glared at him. His face sobered instantly, but his chest and shoulders shook. "Fricken demons."

I felt the truth of Jericho's words resonating within me, as if a dormant part of my soul had been awakened by the knowledge of our shared lineage. The revelation seemed to cast a new light on the strange bond that had formed between us. Next time I ran into one of Ro's spawn, I'd remember the feeling.

"But we don't know for sure." The protest escaped my lips, refusing to accept this most recent change in my perception of my reality. My world had shattered... many times since my night of drunken texting. I wasn't sure why this was the last straw.
