“Maybe I’ll see you around,” she said, not meaning a word. She’d been about as attached to the stupid cubicle as to the ex-coworkers here at Paddy’s for a last night of commiseration. Everything personal from her office, and it all fit into a single canvas sack. Addie slipped off the tall bar stool and looped her tote bag over her shoulder. “I’ll have a hell of a headache tomorrow, but no job means no reason to get up too early.” He laughed. She didn’t have to worry about working with a hangover. Before only one-or neither of them-was left standing.Īddie slurped the last of her margarita, licked the few remaining crystals of salt off the rim and set the glass back on the bar. Now, before he and Jett turned on each other. The hatred the two of them couldn’t control. He shot a harsh glare of undeniable hatred in Locan’s direction, and winked out of sight. Crimson blood flowed sluggishly from the rapidly healing slash. The pale glow from a nearby streetlight cast a blue sheen over Jett’s black skin. She was the one thing standing between him and Jett, the only one capable of keeping their eternal struggle in balance. The one who had the power to weave their antagonistic souls into a single, functioning unit. Leah was the anchor, the one who forced them to focus on the enemy. Polar opposites, they’d fought together for centuries, fought each other even longer. Whatever they’d fought was strong-more powerful than any entity they’d come up against in centuries of hunting. There wasn’t a single part of his body that didn’t ache. Which is why we need Leah whether she wants us or not.” He planted one hand on the ground and pushed himself slowly to his feet. Jett’s harsh laugh sent chills down Locan’s spine. If that thing realizes what she means to us, it’s all over.” “Before one of us ends up killing the other. “We have to find her.” He cocked one eyebrow and shot a knowing look at his partner. Ice encased his heart along with his nonexistent soul. If we can’t feel her, how can we look for her?” “Fuck.” Locan revved up his senses, reached out, waited. Showed up just after that-whatever the fuck it was-attacked. Stared at the spot where the creature had disappeared. “Sucker has the sharpest teeth I’ve seen.” He glanced into the shadows, frowning. Definitely smarter.” Locan lifted Jett’s long black hair aside and dabbed at the blood with his torn sleeve.

Slowly shaking his head, Locan stared at him for a long moment before asking, “You okay?” Jett’s breath escaped in uneven gasps and dark blood trickled from a deep gash across his forehead. Locan flopped down on the frozen ground beside his partner. Wisps of foul-smelling steam drifted on the night air. Then, as suddenly as it appeared, the thing was gone.

It shrieked, spread all four arms wide and seemed to grow even larger. Locan lunged forward and managed one sharp jab into the creature’s side. It jerked to one side, shook its ugly head and snarled. Jett cursed, but the slash of his sword turned the beast back. What the hell was it? Whatever this beast was that hunted him moved with demonic speed, using tusks and fangs and claws with almost mechanical precision. “Jett! Look out!” Locan stumbled, twisted awkwardly to the right and barely avoided the slashing claws and gaping mouth. Your support of the author’s rights is appreciated.
