That wasn’t it either. I’d wanted everything we’d done last night. Craved it in fact, without even knowing it. And it wasn’t as though the police of Shady Harbor would be any help against the Blackwells.

“Let me tell you why I’m here, little demoness,” he said, grabbing my wrists and pulling my body flush to his. “I’m here because you’re mine.”

My phone buzzed again. Alister ignored it.

“Mine to hunt, to chase, and soon, to fuck.”

My jaw dropped open, and I began to protest again, but Alister would have none of it.

“Mine,” he growled, slamming his mouth onto mine to shut me up.

My lips welcomed him even as my mind warred against the intrusion.

“Mine to care for . . .”

He nipped at me, and I hated how little I could deny this man.

“Mine to keep,” he growled before finally pulling away.

“But Everest . . .”

Alister remained indifferent. “We’ll figure it out. Now, go answer your phone, it’s still going off.”

Zut.

The barely there hum of a phone vibrating could be heard in the background, and I began to search around the room for the source, only to find it laying under one of the armchairs.

My stomach turned sour as I turned it over in my hand. There were half a dozen missed calls, along with a bunch of texts.

“What?” Alister was immediately at my side.

“I don’t know, Autumn’s freaking out.” I swiped my phone open.
