ARDEN
Iâm watching Callyx leave, instead of where Iâm going, when I bump into someone. âOh, please excuse me.â I glance up to find Daireâs icy blue eyes staring down at me. âDaire. Are you okay?â
Straightening his cuffs, he slides an arm around the beautiful woman at his side. âWho was that demon?â
âCallyx Karth,â I reply. âWhy?â
The tension eases from his shoulders. âKarth, of course. The cadre wants to meet him. Maybe next time, youâll introduce us?â
I shrug. âSure. Iâm surprised you havenât met him, but then again, itâs Callyx. Unlike Vargas, Callyx prefers to stay in the shadows, and Lucifer lets him.â Turning to the woman, I introduce myself to her. âIâm Arden.â Iâve seen them together a lot since I started working here, so Iâm guessing sheâs his girlfriend.
She sneers down at my hand. âIâm Solange, Daireâs girlfriend,â she says curtly. âDaire, why are we talking to this witch? She isnât anyone important, is she?â
âThis witch is under the cadreâs protection, Solange. Iâm checking to make sure sheâs okay. Put your claws away,â he commands.
âWhat do you mean under the cadreâs protection?â she screeches. âIâve never heard of the cadre offering their protection to anyone. What does that even mean? Is she living here?â She puts her hands on her hips, her dark eyes flashing with fury, waiting for him to answer.
Daireâs phone buzzes, and he looks up to see Valerian above him. âIâve got to speak to Valerian for a minute. Why donât you go sit at our table,â he suggests. With a flash, heâs gone.
Exasperated, she gives a brief scream. âYou. Answer my question,â she demands. âAre you living here?â
âYou should talk to Daire,â I recommend, not wanting to get in the middle of these two. âIâve got to cash out my customers.â With a sidestep, I pick up the check from the table on my right and swipe their card on the tablet. After handing it back to them with a receipt and a pen, Iâm walking to the next table when Solange grabs my arm.
I knock off her grip. âI told you, talk to Daire. I donât know you or trust you. Why would I tell you anything?â
She blurs in front of me, staring at me. âYouâll tell me.â The crowd falls silent, watching us. What sheâs doing is against the rules of sanctuary, but few will risk their neck for a witch. âBut first, why donât you give me a little taste? You smell delicious.â The rune at my throat flares in warningâsheâs trying to compel me.
A couple of guys in the crowd step forward, and she hisses at them. Nervously, they step back.
âSorry, Iâm not into girls, especially ugly ones. Meri, maybe. Sheâs beautiful inside and out, but not you.â I wrinkle my nose in disgust. âGo try your parlor tricks on someone else.â
The crowd gasps, and the guys who stepped up to help chuckle.
âYou bitch.â She gives a deranged laugh. With a blur, she dives toward me, and I reach out and grab her by the throat in mid-air.
