Thankfully she’d walked around the mansion in them to break them in, so they weren’t chafing the back of her ankles. Her shoes clacked along the floor as they moved. She couldn’t help that her upper lip curled a little. “Sorry, baby, but we’ll have to do what drives you and your demon crazy.” Mouth curved, he spoke against her temple. Knowing he wanted everyone to get a good look at her rings, she said, “See, I told you my mate was possessive.” Knox took two glasses of champagne from a waiter and handed one to Harper.
As long as she didn’t set anything on fire, Harper was good with that. Martina was working the crowd, no doubt doing some pickpocketing. Some demons were swirling along the man-made dance floor. Waiters circulated, serving drinks and easy-to-eat appetizers to the mingling crowd – most of which was Primes. Bitch or not, Belinda was good at what she did.Ĭhatter, laughter, and the clinking of glasses filled the air. With the artistic flower arrangements, ice sculptures, the soft music from the live brand, and the scent of citruses and lavender, you could easily forget the space was usually a combat zone. The Underground’s dome looked nothing at all like it usually did. “You sure you don’t want to spend the night at home?” A good person who didn’t deserve to be messed around. She wasn’t a toy he could put down when he felt like.
“He saw Roan for what he was.” But if the kid froze her out again, Knox would ensure Kellen didn’t walk back into her life. “Do you think Kellen will hate me for it?” Harper asked.
He wasn’t letting her out of his sight for a while. Knox could have visited them alone, but he wasn’t going to leave Harper’s side until he could finally breathe without tasting fear and remembering how it had felt to hear she’d been taken. But since Harper’s demon had been the one to end their son’s life, she thought it would be a little insensitive for her to deliver the news personally. “Yes, it was the best thing for all concerned.” As their Primes, Knox and Harper should have been the ones to break the news to Carla and Bray.
