Chapter 13

Terry, technically being owned by Aiden, is not able to refuse Aiden’s demands. He looks to Aiden with a look of confusion and worry and then comes forward to usher me into the house. He seems to notice then that I’m crying and offers me a black handkerchief. I take it thankfully and wipe my face as we run into the house. I like Terry. He’s been good company. The three of us, Aiden, he, and I play a game of cards almost every night. He’s very professional though, he won’t talk much about his personal life, unless I push which I don’t like doing.

“I won’t be long,” Aiden promises, shooting me a half smile and sprinting in the opposite direction. By sprinting, I mean running at a human’s sprinting pace, not a demon’s.

“Come, lady Caplan,” Terry instructs and holds the door open for me. Once inside, I gaze out of the window searching for signs of the hunters. Part of me wonders if the hunters arriving are Crispen and his family. He did say in his letter that he’d give me until tonight, but why would he attack a place guarded so heavily just to kill me? It doesn’t make sense.

“I would suggest you stay away from the windows, ma’am. It isn’t safe.”

I don’t listen to Terry. I can’t even see anything. After a moment, I watch Aiden appear at the front of the house with the other guards. In a matter of seconds, Aiden is thirty or forty feet ahead of the guards, his arms appearing to be crossed. I look ahead of him and four figures dressed in pure black stand before him. I see the glint of knives in their hands and suck in a breath. Terry comes to the window after hearing my reaction and clears his throat.

“Four hunters are many. They are trained in ways that we are not, given instincts that we’re not, but we have many guards, and Aiden is a very well trained fighter. Twenty-four against four is the same as six against one. They do not stand a chance,” Terry reassures me, but he looks uneasy, and I wonder if it’s because Aiden has decided to take his place outside. I wonder why Aiden’s done this. It doesn’t take me long to come up with an answer. Aiden said before that he wished not to have all of these guards. He probably feels badly that they are all risking their lives for his safety. I know I would feel that way. My two guards Hermus and Vandike are out there right now. If I die, I feel like their blood will be on my hands. Panic starts to wash over me.

“What is he doing?” I ask. Terry knows that I’m referring to Aiden.

He shrugs.

I shake my head at Aiden’s actions. I don’t blame him for doing what he’s doing, but I’m still worried about his safety. “Many of Aiden’s guards have fallen at the hands of hunters, but Aiden’s always survived.
