Chapter 14

SPOV

I wake with a soft sigh, stretching out between my husbands as a wide grin stretches across my face. Last night was simply incredible, so much better even than I could have possibly imagined. And now I can feel the steady hum of their combined life force strumming through me, which only makes me feel closer still to my vampire mates. Incredible.

I reach up to run my hands over each of their peaceful faces with a soft sigh remembering our sweet words of endearment we exchanged last night. But more than hearing the words, I could feel how they both felt about me. They truly do love me just as much as I love the both of them and for this, I couldn't possibly be more grateful.

A small frown forms then as I remember the task bestowed upon my demonic tutor and myself. I wonder if Al managed to dig anything up about all those missing weres and shifters. I suppose I'll find out soon enough. I work to free myself of my vampires' tight embrace before leaning down to press a gentle kiss to each of their soft lips. I smile softly down to them before proceeding to ready myself for the day.

I exit the bath fully dressed and ready for the day and am surprised to not run into Al. Where could he be? I shrug before heading up the stairs and am instantly intrigued as I hear flirtatious laughter floating down the stairwell. My brow furrows in puzzlement before I step into the dining room, taking in the scene before me with a slight chuckle.

"Hey, Ames," I greet as she turns her adoring gaze from my demonic tutor to look to me in surprise. "I didn't realize you were here," I inform her, raising a questioning brow as I take in Al's rather blatant ogling of my witchy friend. Interesting.

"Oh! Hey, Sook!" she greets with a wide grin. "I was just talking to your new friend here. He's a riot," she informs me as Al looks to me with a devilish wink as his silvery gray eyes sparkle in delight.

I smirk, shaking my head at the two of them as they continue to flirt unabashedly with one another before making my way to the kitchen, being lured by the heavenly scent of coffee. I pour myself a cup and proceed to top off the cups of my two companions before making my way to the table to take a seat beside Al.

"So, Al tells me you're working on an important case together, something about missing shifters," Ames says as I nod my agreement.

"We are," I concede before turning my attention to Al. "Did you manage to find anything last night?" I ask before taking my first heavenly sip of java as he smirks at me.

"I feel like I should be asking you that, love," he chides with a wide, knowing grin, his mirror eyes glinting with mischief as I smirk over at him, realizing he's most likely seeing everything that happened between my mates and I during last night's feeding.

"I had a rather delightful evening," I admit as he chuckles lowly. Ames cocks her head at me then, looking me over curiously with those probing chocolate eyes of hers. It's then that I remember she has yet to see me since I've transformed into a full demoness. I suppose it would come as a bit of a shock to my closest friend to see my appearance altered as such.

"There's something different about you Sook," she says, squinting her eyes at me questioningly as she continues to look me up and down carefully. "And I mean that in more ways than one," she adds with a cocked brow. "Just what have you been up to these last couple days?"

"Yes, love," Al chimes in. "What have you been up to?" he asks with his characteristic smirk as I shake my head at him, grinning widely. Now, before I was made succubus, I'm sure I would have been blushing like crazy and feeling immensely uncomfortable right about now under their matching, scrutinizing stares, but now, well, I'm just not. I find it's actually kind of nice feeling this self-assured for once.

"A lot actually," I start with a shrug, shooting my curious friend a wide grin. "I was made full demoness, gaining me demonic powers. I had a meeting in Hell with the Devil yesterday and last night I had sex for the first time with both my mates," I inform them as Amelia's jaw drops in shock and Al breaks into raucous laughter, I'm sure delighted to see such drastic changes in me in the short time we've known one another.

"Holy shit," Amelia says disbelievingly, shaking her head and making her spiky chestnut hair bounce around her shocked visage. "Who are you and what the hell have you done with my friend Sookie?" she questions with a smirk as I chuckle lightly, shrugging my shoulders.

"I'm still me," I assure her. "Just a different, possibly even better version of myself now."

"Well, I like this Sookie," Amelia assures me with a wide grin. "I feel like we could really raise some hell together now," she quips as the three of us break into peals of laughter. Her words are just so very, very true in more ways than one.

"Yes, love, I'd have to agree with your witch friend, the succubus life suits you quite well," Al informs me with a grin before clearing his throat and shooting me a rather grim visage. "And I did manage to pick up some information I think may very well be related to our case," he informs me solemnly as Amelia and I quiet our laughter.

"You know where the missing weres and shifters are?" I question incredulously. Damn, he works fast. Al sighs then shrugging his broad shoulders.

"I can't say for sure, love," he admits dejectedly. "But I heard a rather disturbing rumor about exotic animal fights being held not too far from here," he informs me as my heart falls to my stomach. Oh, God, he can't mean what I think he means. Al nods grimly to me and I have to push away my coffee as I suddenly feel sick to my stomach.

"You mean they're making these people fight one another in their animal forms?" Amelia asks softly as we both nod to her. Her face pales then as her face lowers to study an invisible spot on the table.

"I'm afraid it gets worse, love," Al informs me softly as I look to him in shock. How could it possibly get any worse? "Tomorrow night is the full moon," he informs me as my stomach flips, and bile rises to the back of my throat. This is bad. This is very, very bad.

"Oh, God," Amelia whispers softly, shaking her head as a deep frown sets on her face. I have to agree with her sentiment.

"Al, if we can't put a stop to this, there's gonna be a blood bath," I whisper as he nods grimly in agreement. Who could do something like this? It's completely deplorable and inhumane. These poor people need our help. I can't allow this to happen. I have to find a way to set this right, to save these poor people's lives.

"The good news is I have a pretty good idea where the fights are being held," he informs me as I let out a small sigh of relief. Thank God. "But I plan on doing some reconnaissance work later today in order to confirm these notions and to get an idea as to what we'll be up against." I nod realizing this sounds like an excellent idea. At least we'll have some idea as to what we'll be walking into this way.

"So what's our plan then?" I question. "We just storm in and begin freeing everyone before they turn?"

"We use our incubus and succubus powers to glamor whatever guards they may have posted and then yes, basically, we work to free the captured individuals before moonrise, love," he explains as I let out a loud sigh. There are just so many things that could possibly go wrong with this plan, but unfortunately we just don't have the time to come up with a better plan of action.

"This isn't exactly the most thorough plan in the world," I point out as he shrugs.

"It's the best we've got, love," he informs me grimly. "Unfortunately, time is of the essence in this particular case." I know he's right, but it doesn't make me feel any better about this.

"Sook, I really don't like the sound of this," Amelia tells me with a small frown as she looks to me with concern shining in her wide, brown eyes. "You two have no idea who could be behind any of this; you could really be putting yourselves in a lot of danger."

"I know," I admit with a sigh of defeat. "But we can't let these fights take place, Ames. These people need our help," I explain as she nods lightly in understanding. I can hear her thoughts then, as she's broadcasting just as loud as usual and I shake my head, shooting her a hard glare. "No, Ames, you're not coming with us. This isn't your fight and I won't see you put in danger."

"But Sook!" she cries out. "I could help!" she insists as Al and I both shake our heads at her, earning us a small pout from my magically inclined friend. I can accept that I'll be putting myself in danger, but I just can't risk my mortal friend's safety. Besides, if she was with me, I know I'd be too worried about her to be able to concentrate on the task at hand. Al places his hand upon hers then, and she looks up to him in adoration as he smiles warmly at her.

"You do not wish to accompany your dear friend and I on this mission," he says softly as she shakes her head absently. "You will stay behind, awaiting our victorious return," he adds as she nods with a smitten smile. "Now you have errands to run, love, things that must be done right away," he tells her as she nods once more. Al removes his hand then and Amelia shakes her head before popping from her chair.

"Shit, I've got things I've gotta get done today," she says before leaning down to give me a tight hug. "I'll see you both later," she says with an excited wave. We both wave our goodbyes as she rushes towards the front door in a rush before exiting the house, slamming the door shut firmly behind her.

"Thank you," I tell Al with a small smile. "I hate having to do that to her, but I just can't risk her safety like that." Al nods, giving me a knowing smile as I let out a sigh of relief. We already have enough to worry about, and now at least, I won't have to worry about my best friend showing up and putting her life in danger.

"Think nothing of it, love," he says, waiving his hand through the air dismissively. "Besides, I like your little witch friend too much to see her get hurt," he adds with a devious smirk as his mirror eyes twinkle in delight. I smirk despite myself, shaking my head at him.

"You know she has a girlfriend," I remind him as he shrugs, shooting me a wide grin.

"The more the merrier, love," he says, waggling his brows suggestively as I snicker softly. That demonic tutor of mine is such a cad. His expression grows grim once more as the earlier mirth disappears from the room. "About tomorrow, love," he starts solemnly. "I must ask that you remain at my side at all times as you're still under my mentorship," he states sternly as I nod my understanding.

"I think I can do that," I concede as he nods firmly. "Who could be behind this, Al? I mean what kind of sick people would abduct unsuspecting shifters and weres and force them to fight one another like this?" I question as he lets out a sigh, shaking his head.

"I wish I knew, love," he states dolefully. "I shall work to uncover all that I can as I search over the grounds today and hopefully we will have our answers soon enough," he informs me as I nod my agreement.

"Do you want me to come with you?" I ask. "I could help you dig up anything useful, hell, maybe we could even spring the shifters free tonight," I offer excitedly as Al shakes his head at me.

"I'd feel much better going in with at least some form of a plan laid in place, love," he explains as I nod my understanding. "Besides, you're still newly turned; I need to be sure you're aptly fed before we take you around unstable shifters and weres. The last thing we need is for you to start excreting pheromones around such an unhinged horde of hungry shapeshifters."

I cringe at the possibility of what such circumstances could possibly lead to as I nod my agreement. I hate knowing these people will be suffering any longer, but Al's right, we need to be at least somewhat prepared if we want any decent chance of freeing them.

"Alright, you're right," I concede. "We'll go in tomorrow."

"Brilliant," he tells me with a small smile. "Now, remember what I told you, you'll need to be fully sated for this mission, so feed and feed well, love," he instructs. I nod as he dematerializes into a billowing cloud of green smoke.

A small frown forms on my face then as I have a sneaking suspicion Eric and Godric won't like the sound of this upcoming mission, especially since I'll have to go before they rise for the evening. I just hope they'll understand my need to put myself in harm's way for the sake of the greater good.
