“No bother. Thank you.”

“Kendrick?”

“Yes, my little one.”

“I want to learn to use my powers.” She yawns.

“I will help you. We will also train you to fight.”

“Good, I don’t like running. I would rather fight.”

“Sleep, my little one. It’s been a long night.”

Where is She?

My brothers and I pull to the side of the road and cut off our bikes. This is the same location where I found Ray on the street last night. I kick my leg over my bike and move to the middle of the street.

I inhale deeply. Her scent is still faintly in the air. However, that’s not what catches my attention. There are other scents that stand out.

“You smell that?” Bradan asks.

“Yeah, I do,” Ardan says.

“I do too,” I grind out.

“One is human, but he’s existing on magic. He’s actually rotting inside. What the fuck?” Reilly says.

“The other is one of us. Not a demigod, but a full-blood king,” Bradan adds.

“No, there are four full-bloods and the human,” I correct.

“What could they want with Ray?” he asks.

“Mabruk says they’re using our mates to pull us out.”

“Big fucking mistake. You feel me?” Bradan seethes.

“Oh, I feel you, brother. I feel you.”

“What do you want to do?” Reilly asks.

“Get some of our best trackers on this. I want to find them before they can get to us or what’s ours.”

“I’m on it,” Reilly says.

“When they’re found, remember, they owe me a pound of flesh. You feel me?”

“I feel you, brother. You will be the first to know when they are found.”

“Good,” I bite out.

Candido

I sweepeverything off my desk. Then stand with my chest heaving. This can’t be fucking happening right now.

“Where the fuck is she? Someone tell me that you at least know when she took off.” I seethe, glaring at my men.
