His voice was cold as ice and she knew that something she’d said bothered him. He

opened the doors himself and brought them into the biggest office she’d ever seen.

The room was a big circle and even though they were on the fortieth floor, she realized there were strangely no windows in the room. It was empty aside from one man. One demon, she corrected. He was not an idummi demon, but your typical one—if there was such a thing.

Though he wasn’t really typical because he was a successful demon that lived above the rift. She briefly wondered what his old demon friends thought about that.

He didn’t lift his eyes from what he was writing until they reached his desk. “I take it you, at least, left my guards alive, Tyrian?”

“Barely.” Chloe heard a tinge of humor in Tyrian’s voice.

Telal Demuzi lifted his gaze from his work and stood to shake hands with Tyrian.

Chloe’s eyes rounded as she got the first good look at the demon. She had never met one before, though she’d seen pictures of them on the news before, usually being cuffed and escorted back to the rift. Those were usually rogue demons trying to break through the rift. People died when that happened, one way or the other.

Chloe tried to picture her spunky, goofy sister Lily with the demon and nope, couldn’t happen. Her sister wore bright clothes that never matched, which she thought looked fabulous.

Her hair was a messy set of curls that came from their mother’s side and she often said the wrong thing at the wrong time—on purpose.

He looked right at her and it was like the wind was knocked out of her. His eyes were pure gold, brighter than normal with only a tiny pinprick of a pupil. His skin was golden like he was coated in dark honey, and his hair was blue. Chloe shook her head, stared at his thick mane, and tried to figure out if it was a dye job or real. She blinked several times, thinking maybe she was just seeing wrong. His hair wasn’t just any blue but a beautiful cerulean that reminded her of rich tropical oceans and fresh glacial water.

“Yes, my hair is blue.”

She jumped, startled at the strangeness of his voice. He pronounced his letters heavy, as if they were difficult to say, and it reminded her of a heavy Russian accent.

“Why?” she asked dumbly. He didn’t laugh at her or look at her like she was stupid, which she appreciated. He only shrugged.

“My kind comes in many different colors and forms. My brother Alrik has pure auburn hair. The women loved it.”

Chloe nodded. But she kept her mouth shut and took a seat the demon indicated opposite his desk. Tyrian didn’t sit. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Didn’t the man ever relax?

“Tell me what has brought you here.” The demon took a seat, drumming his long fingers on the desk.

“Francis Bellum brought me here.”

The demon stiffened, his body going alert.
