when the woman screamed, Hector glared at him and lowered his trident into a defensive position.
    He raised it as soon as he spoke, “Solar, what are you doing here?”
    “I have come to ask your lady a question, King Hector.” He bowed and smiled.
    Hector was still keeping his body between his woman and Solar. It was cute to see him so protective. “It will have to wait a moment. Beatrix, go and throw something on.”
    As the Warder scuttled away, the two men were staring at each other for a moment before Solar laughed. “So, you finally have her?”
    Hector grinned, stowed his trident and wrapped a short skirt around his hips. “Yes, and if you hadn’t spooked her toward me, I am not sure how long it would have taken for my wife to show up.”
    “I need to ask her if she knows where her cousin is. I have lost my lock on my mate and am unsure as to the containment arranged for the one who attacked my woman to begin with. She’s a tricky bitch and I wouldn’t put it past her to try again.”
    Hector came forward and clapped him on the shoulder, offering hospitality and a quick luncheon.
    They talked about women in the broadest sense and Warders in particular. When Hector’s mate returned to their company, she was dressed elegantly but simply and the pride in the sea king’s face was unmistakable.
    Solar looked forward to the day he could look at Elhara with that same gaze.
    Hector introduced them. “Beatrix, this is my friend, Solar. He is an incubus and has been searching for his destined mate.”
    She reached out to shake his hand and Solar felt his body shift into the appearance of her ideal mate, unsurprised to see his arms matching Hector’s skin tone.
    Startled, she released his hand.
    He grinned at her. “Pleased to formally meet you, Beatrix Warder. I have come here with a question.”
    She sat next to Hector and nibbled on a bit of tuna. “What is the question?”
    “Where is your cousin Elhara?”
    “Wait. Is that what you were doing the night that I first saw you?”
    His grin was all the answer she was going to get, but something about her phrasing puzzled him.
    Hector began to laugh, loud and long.
    Bea covered her eyes.
    “Elhara is staying with her goblin grandparents. They are warded against intrusion so that is probably why you haven’t been able to find her. Eckar and Helora.”
    “I wish I could stay, but I have to find her. Time is running out.” With a wave and a cloud of smoke, he disappeared.

    Chapter Six
    Time, he was missing time. Instead of being the day that he had left the human world, a week had passed.
    It must be one of H’cheri’s curses. He quickly opened his pocket and examined the ring, cursing when he saw the hex wrapped around the metal. As he unravelled it, the nature of the power was obvious. It was designed to delay him and when he asked the goblins of the Crimson clan about Eckar and Helora, it was confirmed. They had left for the leprechaun city a week earlier.
    Before jumping into the leprechaun city, he used his senses to scan for Elhara. She was weak, but she was there.
    He pinpointed her exact location and tried to jump, but a warded shield around the facility held him out until it was too late.

    Draining energy, burning eyes and a rolling, evil laugh rang through Elhara’s thoughts. She fought, but the creature was pulled off her and she was able to breathe again.
    “ Elhara is far better than me and she is almost dead. This demon is responsible. ” It was Asha’s voice. The demon screamed.
    Asha shouldn’t kill. “Asha. Stop.”
    Her voice was weak, but Eckar and Helara were holding her up. She stared at the demoness gripped by the power of a Warder.
    She tried to speak again. “Ash, don’t kill her.”
    Elhara did a quick personal inventory and found the necklace radiating power and the warmth of her memories. She made the connection quickly.
    Asha was staring at her in amazement. “El, how are you…you are awake?”
    “I won’t say
