Chapter Seven

Phoenyx had come close to losing his shit in the bathroom, of ending that fairy’s life. He would’ve gone after him, but his first priority had been his mate.

But fuck. He wanted to hunt the bastard down and take his anger out on the prick. He was trying his best not to leave Edward with Keaton and hunt Lyle down. It was tempting, but he couldn’t trust that Anton wouldn’t show up and create chaos.

Phoenyx was a man of his word, though. He’d told Keaton that they would help out, and as much as he wanted to leave, to take Edward away from here, since there wasn’t an immediate threat, he stayed put.

“You’re slinging those drinks with a little too much anger,” Keaton said to him. “Careful or I’ll have to buy a whole new set of cups.”

Phoenyx took a deep breath and let it out slowly, forcing the pent-up energy to subside. Once they were out of there, he would leave Edward with Drake and Casey and hunt the unseelie down.

Oh, Phoenyx would give the guy the money owed, but he’d also leave him with a lesson the prick wouldn’t soon forget.

“Things have slowed down. Why don’t you and Edward take off?” Keaton shook Phoenyx’s hand. Thank fuck, because Phoenyx wasn’t sure how much longer he could stand there and contemplate Lyle’s beat down.

Phoenyx hung the apron up and grabbed Edward’s hand. Not only was he still pissed and ready to get out of there, but his mate had been giving him heated glances all evening, and Phoenyx was ready to take the male back to his apartment and fuck his brains out.

He was cautious when they left, checking the street for Lyle or Anton or any threat he would have to put down. He’d never had anyone to protect that meant this much to him, and he felt like a fierce bear, ready to tear apart anyone stupid enough to come near Edward.

Phoenyx’s head was in a red haze, and he wasn’t pulled out of it until Edward slapped at the hand Phoenyx had on his upper arm.

“Slow the hell down. My legs aren’t as long as yours, and I’m out of breath.”

“But we’re right outside the juice shop.”

“I can walk on my own.” Edward yanked his arm free. “I need to go home and shower and then check on my grandma.”

Phoenyx’s anger reignited as he stared at the bruising on Edward’s neck. He told himself to calm down, that he didn’t want to scare the human. His mate had gotten only a glimpse of the raw rage that dwelled inside of him, and Phoenyx didn’t want him to see it again.

“Let’s take the shadows,” Phoenyx suggested. “It’s the quickest way.”

Edward huffed and headed toward the dark alley. Panic seized Phoenyx that his mate was going first. Anyone or anything could be lurking down there. Although Phoenyx loved his world, a magical place to live, it was also dangerous, deadly, and Edward was only human. He needed Phoenyx’s protection, no matter how stubborn he acted.
