Chapter Twenty Six

|Twenty-Six|

|Jesse|

It was two days since talking to Tessa and I have yet to figure out how to solve this problem. All I knew what that If I didn't save Lux or Jamie and try to get Tessa out of Dom's watch then someone would surely die, no doubt. I felt as if I was racing against time trying to figure out how to get them back without incriminating myself. I needed to stay on good terms with Bloodtrei and Dominick or else they would try to make hell for me.

The good thing was that I was originally part of the London incubatti society. They only called me in here under suspicion that Luxinia was lying about her abilities. They didn't trust the incubi in New York. They called me when things got heavy. My memory was pretty sketchy, but from what I heard, I was notorious for taking care of anyone going against the incubatti society. 

Everything just seemed fuzzy whenever I tried to remember.

And yet here I was, planning on going against them all.

"Jess, we're here," Roman said from the driver's seat. I looked up and saw Dom's mansion looming over me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that we had arrived.

I got out of the car and followed Blair and Roman to the door. Dominick had called Roman, inviting the three of us over. He said that since there has been an increase of incubus murders throughout the area, he wanted to see what was going to be our next course of action. This further proved that Lux was in fact, not the killer. Recently, from Staten Island, two incubi were murdered. Again, they were mutilated and decapitated. All the crime scenes were the same. Everyone's starting to become wary because now that Lux is in Dom's custody, they expected there to be no murders. However, it seems it has only picked up since Dom took her. Roman told me that the elders are thinking that it's a group of succubi killing incubi. There's no way that one succubus could be killing all these men. However, I think that it isn't just succubi. Other supernaturals must be involved.

The door was answered by a short succubus that wore a collar to tight around her neck, it left red marks. In white letters, there were initials that read D.P. Dominick was playing around. She smiled at us, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. She was afraid. The control that Dom showed was fear, nothing else. I'm sure Blair hated the fact that Dom treated his succubi poorly. Blair loved his succubi. He gave each and every one of them attention. 

Reveled in the sex, in the unadulterated pleasure. Blair's succubi loved him and always wanted more of his magic. Roman, on the other hand, was stern, he didn't like to have his succubi all over him. He may be strict, but he was still respectful of them. He only had two claimed and they weren't wild. They were courteous and well mannered. Most succubi are influenced by their masters, so it's always interesting to see how they mingled with each other.

Me, however? I still would not obtain a succubus. Every time I wanted to my whole being went against it. I was happy where I was.

The short succubus brought us upstairs into a hallway I was unfamiliar with. There were a series of doors lined up and she brought us to the second. "Master Petrove is caught up with something at the moment. Take a seat inside. Would you want anything while you wait?"

Roman shook his head. "No ma'am." He opened the door and walked inside. The room seemed more like a lounge room than anything else. Couches lined the wall and there was an open space that for some reason gave me a bad feeling.

Blair stopped in front of the succubus and leaned close to her. "If you ever need help in any way, you can come to contact me. I will answer and come and get you in a moment's notice."
