“When will the Fey be here?” he barked.

“She is gathering Mari and Pax. They’re ready to return to Earth,” Starla murmured.

“I want to know how the fuck all those monster beasts got into the club tonight?” He turned to look at the door.

Chapter 32

“Will you stop spinning your head a hundred and eighty degrees, bro? It’s creepy as fuck,” Thane growled.

Severin kept his body between Thana and the others, unwilling to move an inch until his female opened her eyes. “I have no clue what you’re talking about.”

“Okay, weirdo.”

He ignored Thane’s joking demeanor, knowing the male worried about Thana as much as he did. He hadn’t let go of the sword he’d held since the battle below began, even though it still dripped blood and other fluids.

Power flooded the space, clean yet overwhelming. The room split with a small rift, and three people stepped out. First came Pax, then Mari, brother and sister, looking much healthier than when they’d left only a few days earlier. When Jenna appeared, she looked serene and otherworldly. Severin held her purple gaze as she walked straight to Thana and him.

“Oh my. What happened to her?” Jenna asked, crouching beside Thana’s head.

“She was alone, so I don’t know,” he said, looking at Savage.

“I checked the security feed and saw she battled three males who shifted into some weird shit. One female was crawling like something straight out of a horror movie, and two males looked like they were stuck in half-shifts, demon horses mixed with humans. They didn’t look fully like any of them. Honestly, the female was the most disturbing-looking, but Thana took her out the easiest. The large male caused the damage with his blood. It looked like it was laced with acid or something. As soon as it hit her skin, it appeared to burn her. I think it’s fucked with her central nervous system, but I’m not a doctor.” Savage stopped talking, as if he’d realized he’d said more than he meant to.

“Wow, Boss. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you give quite such a rundown before,” Thane said.

“Can you fix her?” Severin asked.

Jenna ran her palms along Thana’s body, stopping just before she bumped into Severin’s arm. “Gonna need you to release her, big guy.”

He clenched his jaw. “Truly?” he asked, hating the thought of losing contact with Thana for even a second.

“Yes, but you can stay by her side. I promise she won’t leave this spot.” Jenna waited for him to lift his hand, then she continued her motion.

As he watched, he noticed a soft golden glow flowing from Jenna into Thana. His female’s chest rose and fell more easily, and the burn marks began to fade, then slowly disappear.

“How long until she wakes?” he asked. His voice sounded gruff, but he tried to soften it.

“I’m working on the internal now. Give me some space, my friend.”

Thane paced but stopped as the female Mari moved beside Jenna. Thane’s brother growled. “What are you doing?”

“She has something stuck in her hair,” Mari said, pointing to Thana’s head.

Jenna tilted her head. “How do you know?”

Mari swallowed, closing her eyes. “The big beast reached for her as they fought. She didn’t let him, but something flew from him and lodged in her. That little sliver is still there, causing the damage.”

“Can you sense it, Mari?” Jenna asked.

Mari reached for Thana’s head, but Thane stepped in front of Mari. “Wait. How do we know she isn’t trying to hurt my sister?”

“If I wanted to hurt her, I’d have left the thing in her head, so she’d never recover, asshole.” Mari glared up at Thane.

Thane held Mari’s wrist, his stare unreadable, then let her go. “We’re watching you, female.”

“Don’t threaten my sister, bloodsucker. I will stake you and make you wish you’d never been bitten,” Pax warned. The male stood close to Thane, radiating alpha energy that suggested he’d do his best to carry out his threat.

“Do it, Mari,” Jenna said.
