Page 72 of Demon Unleashed

“You’re not gonna beat anybody up, you hothead,” Logan said calmly. “And we didn’t harm your fucking demon boyfriend, so pipe down.”

“Where is he?” She let her gaze roam and noticed the absence of Manus and Grayson. “What are Manus and Grayson doing with him?”

“Just watching him,” Logan said.

Enya scoffed.

“He’s telling the truth,” Aiden said, still holding her in a tight grip.

She whipped her head to him. “Then where is Zoltan? Where is he?” She kicked Aiden in the shin, and he let go of her.

“Damn it, Enya!” Aiden said. “That wasn’t necessary.”

“Yeah, but it felt good.” She snapped her head to Pearce as a warning. He heeded it and let go of her too.

When her eyes fell on Hamish, who’d been watching patiently with Ryder by his side, Hamish lifted his injured arm. “Your boyfriend already hurt me, so you can lay off me.”

“So where are Manus and Grayson? Did they take Zoltan to the council?”

Logan rolled his eyes. “You think we’re stupid? If we bring Zoltan to the council, they’ll find out that you’re sleeping with him. And you know what that means. You’ll be marked as a traitor.”

The word cut deep into her. Yes, she was a traitor to her race in more ways than her colleagues could even imagine.

“Give us some credit, Enya,” Logan continued. “We’re not gonna betray you just because Zoltan managed to trick you into trusting him. We’ll sort this out our way, without the involvement of the council.”

“Yeah,” Hamish added. “Nobody will ever need to know that you made a mistake.”

“A mistake?” she growled. “I made no fucking mistake. You are the ones who made a mistake.”

“Be reasonable, Enya,” Logan said. “In a few days, when you’ve calmed down, you’ll understand that there is only one solution to this problem. You’ll come to the same conclusion: even though Zoltan is Cinead’s son, he can’t be saved. He’s locked up downstairs.”

A ray of hope rose in her. Even Logan seemed to notice it.

“Manus and Grayson are watching him, so don’t even think of trying to free him. None of your tricks will work. If you think of approaching them invisibly, don’t. Grayson will smell you the moment you enter the corridor.”

“Bastards!” she cursed. “I want to see him. I want to talk to him.”

“No!” Aiden replied. “You won’t get to see him until we are convinced that you’re ready to kill him.”

She glared at her colleagues. How dare they decide her life for her? Kill Zoltan? She hadn’t been able to do it when she’d first discovered that he was a demon. How could she kill him now that she was carrying his child?

“That’ll never happen!”

With a grunt, Enya turned around and charged out of the command center. She didn’t bother running down to the lead cell to see if Manus and Grayson were really guarding Zoltan. She knew Logan had told her the truth. Instead, she retreated to her private quarters. She had to free Zoltan. He’d done the same for her.

Enya snatched her computer, plopped on the couch, and booted it up.

“Brothers, you’re not the only ones playing dirty,” she said. “I’ve got an ace up my sleeve too.”
