Chapter 57: Levi

Brent’s POV

“Idiots!” Sebastian yelled out at all of us.

“Calm down, Sebastian. You barely got here and already you’re having a fit. A man your age shouldn’t overreact.” I tell him.

He looked like he wanted to hit me.

“If you kept an eye on Rose then Sophie wouldn’t have gone missing! I should behead all of you for this dumb-assery.”

I tried to stifle a laugh. Of course a man who thinks he’s proper will try to call us dumbasses in the fanciest way he knows how.

We’re all at the hotel room that Max rented getting ready to head to strip club #1, some place named Pretty Kitty. Way to keep it classy.

“Should we come up with a game plan how to keep the strippers off of us this time?” Damien asked. Now it was my turn to look at someone like they’re stupid.

“No. Just push the hoes away.” I tell him.

“Ok, but you take the blame if things go awry.” He tells me.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” I tell him.

Max, Sebastian, Damien, and I left the hotel room to head to Pretty Kitty and the others went to Bottoms Up. We decided to hit up more than one place at a time to try and cover our bases faster.

We entered Pretty Kitty and once again were surrounded by bitches. I averted my eyes and took out the crystal that Sebastian brought with him. He had a witch make a crystal that would glow when near a demon. The only problem is it doesn’t tell you who the demon is.

“Max, you need to split off from us, this crystal isn’t special and keeps going off because of you.” Sebastian said. Max strode off to the bar, leaving the three of us standing in the middle of the floor. Like lions to prey, women started circling around us, beckoning us towards them. The crystal was still glowing like crazy. One of these hoes is a demon which means we have to try and separate them to see which one is. Great.

“Hand me the crystal,” Damien said.

Sebastian handed it over to him and Damien pulled out a multi tool and broke it off into 3 pieces.

“Now let’s split up and see if we can figure out which of these women is a demon.” He said.

A busty brunette walked up to me and twirled her hair. “You looking for a good time, sexy?” She asked.

I put on a seductive smile and walked with her to a private room. She closed the curtain behind her and walked to the pole in the room and began spinning.

“Listen sweetheart, why don’t you come closer?” I asked her while holding onto the crystal. She strutted towards me seductively and began to grind on my crotch while holding her tits to my face. I looked away and at the crystal but no luck. This one isn’t a demon.

“Listen doll, I think it’s about-“

“Brent!” I hear someone yell. No fucking way. I look at the entrance of the curtain and there is my mate standing in all her beautiful glory.

“Rose?!” I pushed the stripper off my lap and ran towards her. I looked in her face and checked her for injuries. She looked fine.

“What are you doing here?” I asked her. Next thing I know I’m being slapped.

“Wait it’s not what you think.” I try to tell her what happened but she turned on her heel and started to walk away. I followed her and watched her walk to another private room and pull it open to see Max getting the same stripper treatment. Fuck this is bad.

“I go missing and you boys are getting lap dances?! Are you sleeping with these sluts, too?” She cried.

I go and cup her face. “No sweetheart, we were looking for you.”

“Oh really? It definitely looked like it. Well consider me found.” She walked up to Sophie, Sebastian and some tall guy and started talking to them. It looks like Sophie found Sebastian and is as unhappy as Rose.

“We’re leaving. Don’t come looking for me anymore.” I felt my heart break at those words. This is all just a misunderstanding.

“Wait you misunderstand what happened. We needed to get close to them! Come with us and we can explain it to you.” Damien said.

“You know, I first saw you getting lap dances on video and didn’t believe it until Prince A brought us here. If I didn’t feel the tingles when I slapped you, I wouldn’t have believed it.” The tall guy looked at us with a smirk and snapped his fingers. Next thing I know they’re gone.

“Shit. What do we do now?” I asked the guys. I guess they’re speechless because nobody answered.

“Let’s head back to the hotel room. Did someone at least find a demon?” Sebastian asked exasperatedly.

“No.”

“Nah.”

“Nope, nada.”

“Fucking idiots,” he said, “let’s hope the others had better luck. I texted them to break the crystal like Damien did so maybe they also split up. Hopefully Rose didn’t run into them otherwise things are looking hopeless.”

Rose’s POV

“Do you think we were too harsh?” I asked Sophie. She shook her head.

“I’m not sure. But let’s take some time to think about it. Maybe they had a good explanation?” She said.

I nodded. In the moment I was livid but maybe there is a good reason why they had strippers on them?

“Hey A, can I call you A instead of Asmodeus?” He nodded, “can you show me the video from them going into the strip club to when I found them?”

“Of course, sweetheart.” He pulled out his phone and clicked the screen a few times before handing it to me.

I watched with bated breath and saw the guys walk in and talking a few minutes, surrounded by strippers before Max went to the bar and the others split up with strippers and went into private rooms. I didn’t know what to make of the video. How does them going into rooms with strippers help find me? If they wanted to talk to them they could’ve done it in the main room. I handed the phone to A and he tucked it away in his pocket.

“So what are your thoughts, dear?” He asked.

I scoffed, “don’t act like you don’t already know with your mind reading.”

He gave me a soft smile, “I suppressed that ability for you specifically, I know how uncomfortable it makes you feel.”

Huh, I guess he can be considerate.

“Well, I need to eat, my babies and I need blood badly. The scents in the club made being around that many people difficult.” I tell him. Sophie nodded in agreement, “I need blood too.”

“You can always drink from me?” He asked. I immediately shook my head, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Some bottled stuff is fine.” I tell him.

“Let me get you some new stuff I’ve been working on. I’ll put it in a cup of tea for you. It’s called concentrate. It’s exactly what it sounds like, a blood concentrate so that you get all your needs in smaller volumes. It blends easily in any beverage that you want. It’s not mass produced yet.”

“I’m intrigued, show it to me?” I tell him. He grabs my hand gently and leads me to the kitchen and pulled out a small red bottle and a dropper. He grabbed a mug and brewed some tea and then dropped 3 drops from the red bottle.

“Try it,” he beckoned me.

I grabbed the mug and took a sip. Almost immediately the grumbling in my stomach subsided.

“This is amazing!” I smile at him.

“As a demon I look for ways to be discreet and when I have blood cravings I don’t want to pull out a blood bag. These drops are way easier to take on the go. I’m a business man so I’m out of the suite a lot. I’ve been looking to settle down. That’s where you come in Rose. I’d like to build a family with you.” He said. I had a feeling in my gut that that’s not all he wants but I’m still unsure of what his complete intentions are.

“Don’t worry about answering me yet, I’ll show you that I’ll never disrespect you like those mates of yours.” He spat out.

“Why doesn’t my magic or mindlinking work?” I asked him.

“Well we’re in Hell. Things like that don’t work unless I allow an exception. And let’s be honest, I don’t want you trying to attack me. This is better for my safety. Though we are in Hell, this is the Las Vegas sector. Your men were in Las Vegas above us. It’s kind of complicated but I can explain it further for you if you like.” He said.

“No it’s fine, I don’t want to think about them right now. I’d like to just relax.” I tell him. I looked to Sophie who has been uncharacteristically silent. She seemed to be lost in thought.

“You ok, Sophie?” I asked her.

She shook her head, “I’m really hurt about Seb, I thought he was the one.” I see tears start to well up in her eyes. I go to her and give her a squeeze.

“I know how you’re feeling.” I tell her.

“Well what a beautiful sight!” Some deep voice says. I look behind me and see another person tall like A but this guy has bright green eyes instead of blue eyes, otherwise they’re almost identical.

“Oh silly me, I’m Leviathan, but you can call me Levi. And who might you beautiful ladies be?” He said.

A looked at him with disdain, “I told you not to come.” He tells him.

Levi smiled, “brother, I had to meet your lady, though you didn’t tell me there were two of them.”

“This is Rose, she’s off limits, and that is Sophie, she’s suffering from heartbreak right now.”

“Oh how delicious..oh I mean how tragic. Dear Sophie, I can help ease your heartbreak if you like,” he then had the audacity to wink at her. Sophie turned her nose up at him. “No thanks. Come on Rose, there’s a hot tub with our name on it.” She grabbed my hand and led me away from the brothers.
