us anyway.”
“Not if we capture them first. We’ll drop any charges against you if you help us get Turner. You’ll be taken into protective custody for the time being.”
Laroux laughed. “Protective custody? Yeah right!”
Cate folded her arms across her chest. “Your choice, Laroux.”
“I don’t have a choice, do I? You’ll do whatever you want, whether I consent or not. That’s what Denais do.”
“Well, I’m not most Denais, nor does most of my coven do what you’re implying.” She really hated it when people accused Denais of forcing people to do things against their wishes. There was a fine line between force and free will.
Declan glanced between them. “Okay, I’ll help you.”
Chapter 6
Disguised as Cerys and Declan, they went to a nightclub called Sky, which was owned by Lex, Jason’s demon friend. Lex was a tall, brooding male with long, dark hair and jet-black eyes; he looked more of a bad boy than Jason did. Sky was one of the most popular clubs in the city and also served as a sanctuary to anyone who had need of it. The club’s decor was black and red with a racy feel that suited Lex’s dark personality.
Cate sometimes wondered how they had become such good friends given how different they were. Jason had told her they’d met during the height of the Third Great Magickind War, when Lex saved his life. She didn’t know what happened, but could tell he’d been through some kind of hell, which created a bond between them, so never questioned him about it again.
One of Lex’s abilities allowed him to see through glamour and illusion, so Cate was curious to see if he recognised them. The bouncer at the entrance let them in without question, so at least she didn’t have to compel him.
They headed to the bar, where Lex stood serving drinks. The demon gave them the once over before speaking to Jason. “I see you’re working again.” He knew better than to say anything that might give them away.
“Yep, I’ll have a beer please, mate. Cerys?”
Damn! Steve would be disappointed to learn his new device wasn’t completely fool proof. “Pepsi, please.”
Are you looking for anyone in particular? Lex asked them.
A member of the Thorn coven, Jason replied.
I recognise your alias, he meets here with a woman about once a week, he replied, in one of the private rooms upstairs. I’ll show you where.
Above the club were several private rooms which were hired out for literally anything. Cate cast her senses out as they followed Lex along the narrow hallway, praying she wouldn’t start getting visions of what exactly went on in those rooms. Lex stopped and tapped on the door.
Inside, Cate felt the presence of a witch, a fire Elemental, and a vampire – Colbane himself.
“Come!” came the sharp reply.
Lex threw the door open. Inside, sitting at a table, was a man with white-blonde hair, who was the Elemental, and a redheaded female, wearing a leather bodice and short skirt. Both were Thorn members: Simon Antes and Fronika Newport. Dante Colbane was a darkly handsome male, with curly blue-black hair, grey eyes, and the cold beauty of a vampire.
“Master Colbane. Sorry to disturb you, but there’s someone here to see you,” Lex inclined his head towards Jason.
The vampire eyed them both, his face and emotions impassive and unreadable. “Please, come and join us for a drink.” He put away the document they had been looking at.
Antes looked at them suspiciously and the woman appeared rather bored.
“What is it now, Laroux?” Fronika Newport asked. Although she pretended to look bored, Cate could feel her intense desire for Jason, or rather Declan as he now appeared to be.
“Nice to see you again, Ronnie,” Jason said, mimicking Laroux. “This ain’t about work, my girl Cerys is in a bit of trouble with the law.”
Colbane turned his steely gaze to her. “Who is this pretty little thing?”
Cate smiled nervously, and didn’t have to completely fake it. Vamps
