    Jace’s heart stopped as Jax walked into the drawing room cradling Cailyn.

CHAPTER TWO

    “Cailyn, oh my god. Are you okay?” Elsie cried out, making Cailyn turn her aching head. Elsie, Zander, and Jace looked back at her. Her heart sped up when she saw Jace. He was as sexy as she remembered and he was there to save her. The house behind them looked familiar. She realized they must have created a portal to get to them. The magical doorway looked exactly like the one they had created the night of her sister’s graduation party, when they had fled the battle with the demons outside of Club Confetti.
    Elsie rushed to her side, cooing words of comfort. Cailyn wanted to erase her sister’s worry and reassure her. She had always hated seeing Elsie afraid or unhappy. Not that her sister had needed her much of late. Elsie had changed in more ways than just becoming a vampire. She had always been confident and capable, but now there was a power about her that demanded respect.
    The Goddess Morrigan had chosen wisely, Cailyn thought, when she picked Elsie to be the queen of the vampires. Cailyn recalled seeing the Goddess at her sister’s mating ceremony. Her mythology course in college had taught that Morrigan was the Goddess of War and Death, but Cailyn had come to learn that was a small aspect of her Godhood. She was also the Goddess of Birth, and had created the Tehrex Realm, along with the supernaturals that dwelled there. It was odd to think that this realm of beings co-existed on earth with humans. Elsie was now a vital part of these supernaturals, but old habits die hard, and Cailyn didn’t think she would ever stop mothering her baby sister.
    “El. I’m going to be fine. These guys got to us in time,” Cailyn soothed, trying to mask her agony. A low masculine growl had her turning in Jax’s arms. Unable to hide the wince the pain caused, she noted Jace was rapidly approaching her.
    “Give her to me,” Jace demanded, anger etched into his masculine features. The gentle way he eased her from Jax’s arms to his was surprising, given how angry he appeared. Still, she had to grit her teeth against the movement. Her leg felt as if a hot poker was being rammed through the muscles and bones, and her head was killing her.
    “ A ghra , your sister is safe. We must get back through the portal to Zeum so Jace can regain his strength and tend to her. Jace will have her up and running in no time. Stop fretting. Let’s get back through,” Zander instructed as Bhric, Zander’s brother, took Jessie from another warrior. Cailyn breathed easier and watched Elsie and Zander turn back to the portal.
    “Has Jessie regained consciousness?” Cailyn asked the Vampire Prince. She was terrified for her best friend. She would never forget watching the demon bite her.
    “No’ fully. Jace, you need to do something for this puir lass. She’s writhing and moaning. Here, I’ll take Cailyn and you can take her,” Bhric answered.
    “Unfortunately, Bhric, there isn’t much I can do for Jessie, yet. That bite mark on her neck is not from a skirm feeding. It’s an archdemon’s bite. She has been envenomated. The portal is ten steps away. Suck it up and stay close behind me. The portal is going to close quickly. Our power is waning and we can’t keep it open much longer,” Jace replied, not missing a step. That sexy voice jolted and soothed her at the same time. She could only describe his voice as raw. It made her entire body come to life.
    Cailyn nestled closer to his warm chest and relished when he responded by clutching her tighter. She was right in not wanting to be alone with him. Being this close to him was fogging her mind, which didn’t help with her dilemma.
    She loved John, and wanted Jace, but saw no quick and easy fix to her feelings. Instead, she forced her thoughts to an easier topic. “What’s wrong with Jessie? What did he do to her?”
    “First, tell me what happened?” Jace countered as he continued
