What in the realms?

He turned from me, scanning the space, the others were scanning the space, and the first one was mumbling, I knew into his earpiece.

After a while, he nodded his head to the others and to me, he said, “Go.”

Honestly, it meant so much that Aleksei was going all out, seeing to my safety.

But I was sensing this was a bit over-the-top.

Especially since I meant nothing to Tanyn.

Not anymore.

On this dismal thought, I walked in.

The agents came in with me.

I entered the lift (after they let me do that).

Two agents stayed downstairs, two agents came in with me.

We zoomed up to the penthouse (mm-hmm, I lived on the top floor with unobstructed views, I was a Truelock).

The doors opened, and two demons stood there, eyes red, alert, ready for action.

I tensed.

The agents didn’t say anything.

The demons didn’t say anything.

I silently freaked out and felt my demon rising, readying me to defend myself.

The demons walked into the lift.

And that was when I saw him.

Tanyn.

Standing in my flat.

Standing in my damned living room.

My stomach clutched, my heart squeezed, my mouth went dry, and even with all of that, I poured all my reserves into not allowing tears to hit my eyes because, Lilith, he was beautiful.

“It’s clear, Miss Truelock. You can enter the premises,” one of the RS agents said.

I looked to him.

Then I marched into my own damned flat.

The lift doors closed behind me, leaving me alone with Tanyn.

I walked to the open plan kitchen, my eyes never leaving him, his never leaving me (they were black and crackling with lightning, FYI—I, no surprise, was seeing only red), and I dumped my bag on the kitchen island.

After that, I turned to him and bit, “You have a fucking nerve.”

“Shut up,” he replied.
