Chapter 650: Too Many Options

I didn't make it two steps inside, still flushed from my encounter with Quaid, when I felt demon power surge in the basement and went running.

Found Meira waiting on the other side of the veil and crossed into her open arms.

She hugged me so tight I could barely breathe, forgetting until she pulled away to allow my demon form to take over.

Red skinned and black horned, I settled on her divan while she held my hand.

"Thanks for letting me know they didn't kill you or anything." She grinned, taking the sting out of her words.

"I was getting to it," I said. "Besides, you really thought they could?"

Meira's smile trembled and fell. "I didn't know," she said.

We talked, about Gram, the Brotherhood. My new freedom. Meira's fierce, "Awesome!" mirrored my own.
