Chapter Four

“It’s no longer any of your concern, Isskal. Forget the mortal woman and go about your duties. Maybe if you’re lucky, I’ll change my mind and put you back on the sex roster. Until then, well, you’ll just have to cope…”

Three days later Miknris’ dismissive words were still spinning around and around in Jacob’s head like an annoyed gnat he couldn’t get rid of. Each time his temper and frustration mounted a little more.

Stupid woman wouldn’t know a death-shade if one walked up and bit her on the ass, Jacob grumbled to himself as he mopped his hundredth floor that day. How many bloody floors were there in the world anyway? Was he going to have to mop every fucking one of them? At least it was better than cleaning toilets, Jacob’s absolute least favourite job.

Sloshing water on the tiles, he attacked them with the mop. He had to get back to Tori. There wasn’t anything else for it. If that shade got loose, Tori didn’t stand a chance, not with how large and powerful it was. It would suck the life right out of her, and condemn her to life as a Wraith. Without a collar to protect her soul from the ravages of the veil, it would wear out quickly and she’d become nothing more than an echo, a mere whisper of the vibrant woman she had been.

Jacob couldn’t… No, he wouldn’t let that happen. He didn’t know why, but somehow Tori had gotten under his skin. He cared what happened to her because a dead woman wasn’t going to say the words he needed to hear. Even as he thought it, though, a small part of Jacob’s mind protested the idea he was just interested in her as a way out of his slavery. He cared about her. He’d care about any woman with that thing hung over her like a sword of Damocles.

With cleaned tiles gleaming up at him, Jacob finished off and put the mop and bucket away. It was his last job at this place so he closed his eyes as the witching swept him away to his next. Like being on the sex roster it was one job after another. With this new role there was less time, really no time, to relax though. It was just pure physical hard work from one moment to the next.

Jacob opened his eyes on yet another living room and ignored the couple sitting on the couch. They ignored him in turn, something he was used to now. People just didn’t see domestic Wraiths, and Jacob only put enough effort into his physical form for them to see his outline. The last thing he wanted was to be noticed by any mortal, unless it was Tori.

He went about his work as fast as he could. Work, shift locations, work, shift again. In the back of his mind was a tiny thread of hope that he’d get picked up by Tori’s cleaning spell, but three days later he was beginning to face facts.
