I twist my neck, now not holding again my beast, and let the monster inside me rise to the floor. In a flash, I’ve acquired each males by the necks and slammed in opposition to the wall. Midnight swoops in and grabs Mike.

As I tear open the primary man’s throat, the opposite screams, kicking and clawing me to interrupt free, however it’s ineffective. He hits me within the head along with his gun whereas I’m feeding on his good friend, however all that does is piss me off, so I slam him in opposition to the wall so arduous that he gasps for air and clutches his throat.

I launch the primary man and pull the opposite one nearer, sinking my tooth into his throat and gorging myself on his blood whereas he whimpers and claws at my hand. Slowly, the life drains from his physique, and I drop him on high of his lifeless good friend.

After I flip to take a look at Midnight, he’s straddling his sufferer, his face buried within the criminal of Mike’s neck. I lean in opposition to the brick wall, ready for him to complete, however instantly my ideas shift again to Haven. What would he consider me if he knew what I actually was? Would he worry me? Run away?

We’ll be married and he’ll be residing at my place. Is my secret one thing I can preserve protected from him once we’ll be so shut collectively? Do I even wish to?

Midnight lifts the sufferer’s decapitated physique from the bottom and carries it towards the dumpster. After we take our footage for proof, we toss all three our bodies within the dumpster and Midnight torches them with the very cool fireplace potion Viv cooked up. By morning there gained’t even be any bones or tooth left to determine the our bodies. Viv was cautious to inform us the fireplace needed to be contained in steel, or it might simply preserve burning.

Midnight arms me a moist wipe and I snicker earlier than cleansing my face off.

“I by no means keep in mind to hold these with me,” I lament.

“I want it over the glamour potion. Simply because nobody can see the blood doesn’t imply I can’t really feel it.”

“Ha, good level. I don’t thoughts it actually. It makes me really feel alive.”

“Wish to seize a drink? The goal tasted horrible. How had been yours?”

“Wonderful, I suppose. I didn’t feed a lot.”

He lifts an eyebrow. “Didn’t feed? Why not?”

“Not hungry.”

He research my face for a second earlier than chuckling. “Dude. It’s Haven. It must be.”

“Pssh. It’s not. I’m simply not hungry.”

“When’s the final time you fed?”

“I had some this morning.”

“You understand it’s not the identical as it’s from a recent donor.”

I rack my mind attempting to recollect, then it involves me. “Um, effectively, Haven let me chunk him final evening. Not feed although. Just a bit style.”

“Uh-huh, and now you’re not hungry. Coincidence? Unlikely.”

“No matter, dude.”

Midnight grabs my shoulder as we stroll again to our automobiles. “No matter,” he mocks. “Simply don’t say I didn’t inform you so while you determine it out.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

As soon as we are saying goodnight, I resolve that since I’ve nothing however time on my arms till Haven will get off work, I’ll go hover across the restaurant and ensure he stays protected. This isn’t the nicest neighborhood in New Onyx. Might the gods assist the individual silly sufficient to hurt Haven.

The thought sends a shiver down my backbone. Okay, so I’m feeling a bit of protecting of him. It’s simply because I like him, and I hate seeing good folks endure. That’s all. It doesn’t imply something.

A minimum of that’s what I’m telling myself for now.

TWELVE

Haven

I hate it when the restaurant is gradual. Time crawls, and now that I do know my cash issues are near being solved, it’s that a lot tougher to deal with half-drunk prospects and wiping down already clear tables.
