clenched at the memory.  
    He had to be thinking twice about staying at her place. She’d tried to convince herself that wasn’t the case, but she’d never been one to avoid the truth.    
    This tension had as much to do with their living arrangement as it did with his extreme need to protect her. Evalle had to make some changes, but she couldn’t just shove Quinn’s cousin Lanna out the door. Not with a powerful wizard looking for the teenager. Evalle had promised to keep Lanna safe for Quinn, who had been her friend as long as Tzader had.     
    And Feenix was never leaving.  
    But she didn’t want Storm to leave either and Feenix hadn’t liked Storm being around her at all.  
    What if she had to choose between Feenix and Storm?  
    She couldn’t do that.  
    Storm could use majik to soothe Feenix, but she wanted them to get along without any outside influence and had no idea how Feenix would react to Storm’s majik.  
    She’d made it halfway down the mile-long path to the bottom of the mountain when Storm stepped in front of her.  
    She pulled up fast. “What?”  
    “You’re upset.”  
    “I’m not,” she lied out of knee -jerk reaction before rolling her eyes at the flat line of his lips. She admitted, “Okay, it’s been a long week. I’m just ... thinking a lot.”  
    “What are you thinking about?”  
    How cramped my apartment is becoming with four bodies moving around.  
    How the only day we spent there started in chaos and ended in uncomfortable tension.  
    How I couldn’t cook a decent meal or look like Adrianna even if I had a fairy godmother.  
    Evalle hunted for something that could be the truth and not open that discussion yet. She ran the thought through her mind to make it true , then said, “Adrianna needs to meet with us right away.”  
    “She’ll wait.”  He didn’t challenge her statement. Instead he leaned down and said, “I’ve had something on my mind, too, that we need to deal with right now.”  
    Please don’t say you don’t want to go home with me. “What?”  
    “You and me. Naked.”

    “Get away from there before Sen or another VIPER agent senses you,” Donndubhán warned, fighting a homicidal urge after losing one of his best demon specimens.  
    Imar backed up, but kept watching through the trees where that bastard Sen and two VIPER agents moved around the top skyride platform on Stone Mountain, cleaning up the mess before humans could panic. Imar said, “That’s four dead demons and for what? We’re going to end up just as dead if anyone in the Medb coven gets word of this.”    
    “Getting caught is not an option. Death would not be our punishment,” Donndubhán pointed out. “Queen Maeve would put us in a cycle of eternal torture that would make dying a gift.”  
    Imar narrowed his eyes. “I trusted you when you said we could do this and get out of the Medb coven forever, but this isn’t working. We can stop now and the queen won’t know. Someone’s going to tie these demons to the troll killings. Then what? The next thing you know they’ll find out we’re not turning trolls into demons, but using our own—”  
    “Shut up,” Donndubhán snarled, “You really believe we can stop now and be safe? Queen Maeve has something in play that she won’t share with anyone except Ossian. She has him moving around Atlanta in some disguise that’s a secret from the rest of us.”  That ass-kisser Ossian had been awarded the top position in the Scáth Force of Medb elite warriors. Neither VIPER nor the Beladors knew what Queen Medb had inserted into the Atlanta area under the guise of being just another Medb warlock or witch moving here.  
    “We shouldn’t have left that troll body by the river,” grumbled Imar.  
    Donndubhán had just finished sacrificing a troll to create this last demon when an old troll saw them. Donndubhán captured the noisy bastard and had Imar spread the old troll’s
