I look between them in rapid repetition. Told him what? What the hell is going on?
"Of course she fucking told me," Kane barks. "Now, is it possible?"
Um... I’m confused.
"Not here. Not in front of him," Gage mumbles, motioning toward the seething incubus.
"I'll be damned if I'm kept out of this loop. Why does she wreak of succubus? What the fuck are you two hiding?"
"Go, Dice. This doesn't concern you," Gage says dismissively, shooing Dice away.
"No, damn it! I'm not going anywhere. Tell me what's going on!"
The door swings open as a dangerous grin pops up on Gage's face. "Go," he murmurs in a breath, and Dice is flung from the room. He squeals as he thuds outside, and then the door slams back shut.
Dice could simply walk back in, but I think he knows better. Gage really is stronger than I thought.
"Finally," a beautiful voice interjects as my mother gracefully descends the stairs, drawing all eyes to her.
She's a vision in a long white dress with a train that softly trails behind her. I glance out to see Dice throwing a tantrum, though nothing he says can breach the house. I'm sure he is releasing several choice words right now. He finally gets in a car, slamming the door once again. I'm glad all the sounds are muted.
"I thought you'd never get rid of him," Mom continues, bringing my attention back to her.
Gage looks so broken right now. I wish he wasn't in my line of sight, but he's right next to the stairs.
"Drackus?" Mom asks.
"He'll be back soon. The other planes douse his craziness," Gage says with effortless nonchalance.
Mom's eyes come to rest on my night stalker, but he accepts her scrutinizing gaze. Her lips tighten as she returns her gaze to me.
"Kane?" she asks.
I nod, and then I lean against him, letting the gesture tell him I've got his back. Wisely, Mom refrains from saying whatever she really wants to.
"Very well. What was the incubus saying about Alyssa being a succubus?"
Gage grumbles something about this being the last thing he needs right now as he wipes away some sweat.
"He was trying to say I'm some sort of succubus. He's crazy," I gripe.
Mom seems fine. Completely unaffected. Kane and Gage aren't as cranky as Dice and the wolves were.
"I think it's starting," Gage says through a weary sigh.
