We were able to make it to the motorcycle with out any confrontation. Armand put the helmet over my head and was fastening it when a low growl came from behind us. I took a sniff of the air and knew instantly that Miska was here. I was ashamed of myself and what I had let happen to me. I stiffened my back and pulled the wings in tight. I was ready for whatever might happen.
Miska approached Armand and me.
"Miska, how did you find me?" I asked as if nothing had happened to me. "We have been hunting here for a few weeks. I found you first, thank God." He walked up to me swiftly and grabbed my arm. "Ana, you need to come with me.
Adam should be here at any moment. We are all to meet here tonight after we searched our areas. If he finds you there will be no turning back. He means to make an example of you." Miska pulled on my arm roughly. I have never seen him so forceful.
I stood my ground. I wasn't running anymore. Logan put a hand on Miska's shoulder,
"Excuse me, but I am afraid Ana will not be able to leave the city without me in tow" he said.
"Don't you think I know that? I have a meeting set up with a Nimir-raj in the next city where we can go. He will hide Ana" Miska replied. He looked into Logan's eyes and shrunk. Logan looked carefully into Miska's eyes. For a moment, I thought he was going to roll his eyes but he didn't. He stood back and said, "Ana will be staying here with me. I am her Master now. Tell this, Adam person that she is my servant. She can not be taken from the city without my approval. I will know where she is and I will not hesitate to fight to bring her back if she is taken from me. Ana is that precious to me AND to her mate." Logan glanced at Armand.
Armand was shocked that Logan said this about him. I looked from one to the other trying to see what was going on. Logan was hiding something from me.
For some reason, I knew he was telling Armand what this secret was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I wanted to go home and figure out how I am going to fit in my clothes with these things on my back. "All right. Now that EVERYONE have been introduced, I want to go home. I am going to be up all night trying to figure out how these things will fit in my clothing." I turned and climbed on Armand's bike. It takes a man with his macho shit to thoroughly piss me off. Armand looked away from Logan and got onto the bike. "Ana is right. She needs to go home."
"Anyone up for cake and ice cream? It’s at the apartment." Abby declared. Leave it to her to make the world a happy place. We drove out of the parking lot slowly. People were still trying to get close to me. It took good driving from Armand and about a dozen fey flanking the bike to get us out of the parking lot. Once we were out onto the street, Armand gunned his bike and we were home within a short period of time. We walked to the apartment. The Complex was quiet for a change. There wasn't a tremor of power flowing from any of the apartments. "This is strange. It’s like everyone decided to leave for the night." Armand remarked. Please, oh please, let this be a coincidence. I thought to myself.
