ETHAN HISSED out of the corner of his mouth as I tore off another hunk of warm bread and shoved it into my mouth. “You look like a damn animal.”“Mason.” Alex nodded thoughtfully. “I imagine he looks like Mason does when he feeds.”Mason let out a low growl and clutched his beer tightly with his hand—though that same hand was shaking, his nails elongating. Alex better watch it lest he get his throat slit before dessert.Ah, dessert.I patted my stomach.Why hadn’t the hunger subsided?I reached for the bread basket. Empty. Damn. “Who ate all the bread?”“You.” Genesis smothered a laugh. “What? You blacked out during the last of the loaf?”“I uh…” My cheeks heated. “Sorry.”“Gasp.” Alex said in a monotone voice. “I wasn’t aware that word was in your vocabulary.”I ignored his jab. “Alex, make yourself useful, seduce the waitress and get more bread.”“You know, that technically breaks council rules.” Alex grinned. “Seducing a human woman for a Dark One’s benefit.”Ethan groaned and pinched his nose.
