walking and carrying her. She looked around while thinking how best to condense what she’d just gone through. It was mind boggling to think that with a couple steps they had skipped an entire state and went from San Francisco to Seattle via a magical portal.
    Cailyn was still trying to wrap her brain around all that went on in the Tehrex Realm, which she only learned about a few months ago. Given her own special abilities, it hadn’t been a stretch for her to believe that there was more out there, but this was something else entirely.
    The silence in the room was uncomfortable and she realized that there was a large group of people all waiting for her to respond. It surprised her that some of the San Francisco Dark Warriors had come to Zeum with them, and were looking at her expectantly.
    She focused on the events of the evening. “We were driving back from the airport and an SUV full of skirm forced us off the freeway. Once they had us isolated, Azazel and Aquiel appeared in the middle of the road. The skirm in the car hit me from the side and I lost control. We rolled over several times before I hit a tree. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever been through.” The memory of it had her palms sweating. She looked over to her friend to reassure herself that Jessie was alive. Small tremors shook Jessie’s body, and Cailyn didn’t think she was aware of what was going on around her, despite having her eyes wide open.
    “Before we were able to get out of the car, the Fae grabbed me and the demon grabbed Jessie.” Cailyn fought back her emotions and blinked back before continuing. “He bit her after he heard you guys coming to save us. He said something about her being one of his skirm, his most beautiful or something like that. I tried to fight back and help her, but the Fae said some foreign words and I couldn’t move. Nothing else happened before they disappeared seconds later,” Cailyn finished.
    “What exactly did the Fae say?” Jace asked, tension lacing his every word. The severity in his tone took her back. She assumed his anger was directed at the Fae and demon, not her. Either way, he looked as if he could rip something apart piece by piece.
    “I have no idea. I couldn’t understand the language he was speaking. It could have been Chinese for all I know. It doesn’t matter what he said right now. I want to know what’s going on with Jessie. Tell me she is going to be okay,” she pleaded.
    “I need to know what the Fae said. Fae are capable of casting spells none of the sorcerers in the realm know how to counteract,” Jace retorted, his hold on her tightening. “As for Jessie, I believe she is indeed becoming a skirm. And that means she is going to be under the influence of the archdemon who turned her.”
    “What a bluidy fucking mess,” Zander cursed. “Kadir and Azazel are bold but not verra bright if they think we will give this skirm of his free reign in our compound.” Cailyn didn’t like the sound of what Zander was saying.
    “We should take care of her now before she is a risk,” Gerrick added.
    A cold dread slid down Cailyn’s spine. “No one will be taking care of Jessie, not unless it is to heal her and make her better,” she said, indignant at what they were implying. How could they be so callous talking about killing her friend? Cailyn was determined to prevent anything else from happening to Jessie. She had been through enough because of Cailyn and her association with these creatures. Cailyn refused to let her go through any more pain because of her. She wiggled, trying to get to Jessie, but Jace refused to let her go.
    “Stop it. Cailyn, we have no idea what we will be facing once she is awake. Normally, skirm are consumed with bloodlust and kill when they feed. They feed from humans, and right now you are the only human in this compound,” Jace told her, keeping his gaze locked on her. The empathy and sadness he reflected back at her only angered her further. He had
