I could smell it easily. Very masculine and aggressive.
The growling noise from the demon started up again, and the other male he called Vox started cursing in what I assumed was his native tongue. I focused on his scent as I closed my eyes and inhaled.
Angelis. Said to be half celestial being, half demon.
The one and only Angelis I’d known had been a cocky asshole. Maybe he was related to this one.
I kept sifting through the scents until I felt the sensation of being watched. I opened my eyes and stared straight ahead. The cell twenty feet in front of me was dark, the light hanging between our two prisons not reaching deep enough inside.
My vision became clear, and I made out twin red eyes glowing from within the shadows.
The creature walked forward and into the light, a massive male who was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. He stopped when he was an inch from the bars. He was a huge bastard, easily seven feet. He was so big he had to tilt his head to the side slightly so his giant fucking horns didn’t scrape the ceiling. Scars littered his chest in crisscross patterns, ones that could only be worn by a warrior.
His horns curved up and back around his head, and his vicious upper fangs went past his bottom lip as he growled low, changing the shape of his mouth for a second.
“Like what you see, wolf?” the creature prompted, his voice distorted, and his eyes glowing even redder.
Interesting.
The ones named Vox and Bane started bitching at each other again, but I stayed focused on the male in front of me.
“What are you?” I found myself asking.
He didn’t respond, just grinned and started laughing—a deep, rumbling sound that had my wolf becoming defensive.
And then the air changed suddenly, thickening. All noise in the cell block stilled. The sound of a lock disengaging filled the corridor, and I turned my head the other way and stared down the cement-lined hallway to see four guards dragging a big, black-haired male forward.
“God, we need to have a better system for them,” one of the guards huffed out.
“Talk to Tore about it if you want to file a complaint,” another guard wheezed, clearly trying to hold the big male up.
I knitted my brows as I felt the back of my neck tighten with recognition.
“How much tranq did they give him?” one of the humans asked.
“Enough,” came the reply.
I moved closer, and then the crystal-clear realization of who the male was solidified in me.
Sebastian. Adryan’s vampire cousin and probably equally as psychotic.
“Vampire! My female,” I roared, my hands on the bars, not giving a shit if the pain was excruciating. “Have ye seen her? Have ye seen my Larkin?” I felt feral as I stared at the vampire.
They were halfway past my cell when, faster than any of them could anticipate, the creature across from me reached through the bars, grabbed the nape of the guard closest to him, and jerked the human backward so forcefully that I heard the back of his skull crack against the bars.
And then total fucking chaos ensued.
I watched as the guards started shouting, one of them talking into his earpiece as he called for backup.
The guard who had been slammed against the cell was still standing upright, but that was only because the creature had a scarred, thickly muscled forearm wrapped around his throat.
The human’s eyes rolled back, his mouth went slack, and then I smelled the scent of his blood.
I looked back at Sebastian.
As if he felt my gaze on him, he turned his head in my direction. His eyes were hooded, glossy and unfocused, but when he slowly smiled and I watched his fangs descend and elongate, I felt my own grin spread across my face, my wolf rising.
Sebastian rose up so swiftly he was a blur. He grabbed one of the humans by the throat, brought him forward, and sank his fangs into the side of his neck. Sebastian drank his fill before ripping his mouth away so violently a chunk of the human’s flesh came clean off.
