“I was busy trying not to get my ass kicked,” I say, “but they weren’t scared.Not like Blaze.”
“Blaze?”
“That’s the guy on Rogan’s payroll.”
“Blaze Delacourt,” my father says.
“Is that his name?”
“Yes, but he’s not a demon.He’s human.What about the other two?Do you have any other information that might be helpful to me?”
Yeah, I have information, but to tell my father would be to admit that Rogan came to my rescue, which I really don’t want to do.
Three against one was hardly a fair fight, but still…
I sigh.“Rogan pummeled one of the other two.Demanded to know who sent him, but he wouldn’t talk.So you can imagine how pissed I was to find Blaze in his office this morning.And on his fucking payroll.”
“You think Rogan set you up?”
Did he?What did he say to Blaze this morning?She’s not worth the effort.

“I don’t know, Dad, but at this point, I wouldn’t put it past him.”
“Has he responded to you?”
“Well, you called while we were in bed together.What do you think?”
“Good.Very good.You should still be able to get what we need, Hannah.”
“Even if he set me up?”

“Why would he feel gui—”
He’ll jump through all kinds of hoops to get to you.
“Damn it, Dad.You knew, didn’t you?”
“Knew what?”
“Don’t act all innocent.Rogan thinks I’m his mate.”
“What?”
I flinch at the harsh surprise in my father’s voice.He seriously didn’t know?
“What about all that ‘he’ll jump through all kinds of hoops to get to you’ crap?”
“You know exactly what I meant.I have faith in my daughter.You can seduce anyone.I’m well aware of your past.”
My past?Seriously?Sure, I had a lot of sex.Did a lot of drinking and drugs, too, all in an effort to quell the blood lust that I didn’t understand because I didn’t know my true heritage.Hardly makes me a talented seductress.
“Dad, I—”
