CHAPTER 21

AIDAN

"Are you ready?" I looked Elenna up and down, drinking her in with my eyes.

As long as I lived, I may never truly believe she belonged to me. She was so fucking gorgeous she made my breath catch in my throat. I wanted to rip her clothes off and fuck her harder than I’ve ever fucked her before. There would be time for that later.

If she didn't keep looking at me like I had a gun to Orion's head.

"You still haven't told me what we're doing." She pulled her hair up in a ponytail and tied it back with a black hair band.

"It's a surprise," I said. "Can I not have a date with my wife? I thought you'd enjoy seeing more of Opal Springs."

"Have any of your contacts heard back from Nicholas or Celine?" she asked. Blunt as ever.

"No," I said. "As far as I know, the message hasn't got to them yet."

"Or it has and they're going to step through the door and kill him the moment we leave the hotel." Her mouth was set in an unhappy line.

"They won't," I said. "Not in a hotel full of Demons, each of whom knows how to use a gun." They didn't know exactly what might come, but they were always ready for something. Some of them came from backgrounds more violent than mine. Phoenix, in particular. If anyone was ready to deal with an attack, it was Phoenix DiMarco. Not to mention Finley.

"We won't be going far," I added. "It's just across the road."

"I might have to explain the meaning of sightseeing," she said dryly. "The hockey arena is across the road. We saw that already."

"Part of it." I held out my hand. For a moment, I didn't think she'd take it. She was pissed at me about Orion, with good reason. Things could very easily go sideways. I'd make sure they didn't. This was going to go exactly how I planned. When I was done, Nicholas and Celine would be off our backs. Permanently. Elenna could breathe easy after that. That was the only thing I cared about. The only thing in this world that mattered.

Finally, she slipped her hand into mine and we stepped out of the hotel room. Finley and Orion were with the rest of the team, drinking and commiserating. Tomorrow, we'd watch the game over and over again and figure out exactly where things went wrong.

By that, I mean the way they plays we'd practised a thousand times before didn't come off the way they should. The opposition had our measure from puck drop to the end, anticipating our moves better than we anticipated theirs. We'd have to work on different plays for the next time we played the Ghouls. Not to mention working on better understanding theirs and being more flexible. We'd tweak and practice and next time we'd win.

I led Elenna across the road, to a door on the side of the arena. One of the staff let us in, nodded and waved us past before closing and locking the door behind us.
