Their Dark Hunter (Masters of Darkness) by Alaska Angelini Read Free Book Online

and tempt humans. That was their way. But why did she have such bitterness toward it? Had she been tempted and hurt before by one of his men? He ruled a two-hundred-mile radius around Corpus Christi. Unless she’d met one of them from somewhere else, it was almost certain to be one of his men.
    Just the thought of one of his demons touching her soft skin made his blood boil. He’d destroy them if that were the case. No one would place a finger on her and live to tell about it. He’d put them so deep into the underworld that they’d spend eternity trying to claw their way to civilization again.
    “Hey, you okay? Quite the shock waves you’re sending out.” Trace pulled at his dark blue buttoned up shirt.
    “Fine.” If it wasn’t a man in her life…He paused. Was her mother a demon, or her father? Definitely had to be the father. She was mostly good. If a demon mother would have raised her? Lord only knew what destruction she’d be causing. “Trace, do me a favor: Find out who Melody’s parents are. I’m pretty sure her father is a demon. Get me his name.”
    His head tilted , and Vex didn’t miss the way his eyes narrowed. “This chick is really getting in your head. Vex—“
    “Now, Trace,” he snapped. “I am still your master. Remember that. Stop asking questions, and just follow orders. My patience is running thin with you.”
    The tall demon stood from the table and stomped down the stairs. Better. Now he wouldn’t have to worry about someone trying to disturb his thoughts. Loud shots had Vex jumping to his feet. That had to have been right outside. He instantly materialized in the dark alleyway beside the club and began running to the front. It was a hell of a lot faster than going downstairs and through all the crowds of people.
    Melody’s bike flashed by , just as he broke into the light. She was quick enough to flip him the middle finger as she sped by. Son of a bitch ! He turned and noticed three of his demons lying in front of his door. People were beginning to crowd around them. Fuck. He needed damage control fast. It was still early, but people were definitely around. The police station was right down the road too. He had to make it quick.
    Trace appeared at the door and he signaled to the demon. “No phones. Erase the memories.” It was a master’s task. But he knew Trace was capable of making them forget everything they’d just seen. They’d be walking around like zombies for the next half hour, but it had to be done. Vex walked up and began placing his hands on the three men. They disappeared and the people stared at him shocked. “Now, Trace!”
    “Hey!” He yelled at them, and they all connected with Trace’s eyes. Black began to swirl and take over the white. “Go home. You’re not feeling well and you need to rest. You were never here, and you didn’t see anything.” The color receded and he turned to Vex. “ She strikes again.”
    “Watch the club. I’ll take care of this. If anyone in there asks any question s…”
    “I got this,” Trace said, quietly. “Go.”
    Vex headed to the dark alleyway and disappeared to his penthouse. Did he say it was going to be a good night? Well, there was still time to turn things around. First things first: He had to find her. Would she already be back at the mansion or was she somewhere else?
    The elevator dinged and he stepped in, hitting the garage button. If he wasn’t afraid of someone seeing him he would have just materialized there, but he’d already screwed with these people’s heads so much that it wasn’t worth doing again.
    Lights flashed as he unlocked the Maserati. The sight of the pitchfork made him smile. The car was so him. A weird feeling went through his stomach almost instantly. His mate hated who he was. He didn’t like that fact, but he couldn’t change it either. Could he?
    The engine came to life and he headed out of the garage and toward the mansion. He’d have to park somewhere away from the compound,
