Chapter 404: An Old Acquaintance, Part 3

There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, but I knew he wouldn't answer them. He was too busy ushering me out to the rental truck, his gaze darting around nervously.

Once I was safely in the truck, I said, "Please tell me what's going on."

"I will. As soon as we're far away from here," he said.

I wracked my brain trying to remember what Macaih, Colt, and Trent had told me about Dante. I knew he was not a nice guy, that he liked to hurt innocent humans, and that everyone was terrified of him. But why had he seemed so friendly with Trent? What, exactly, was their connection?

The minutes-long drive felt like hours with the silence that hung heavy between us. Even when dealing with Ivy and the Zoya, I'd never seen Trent so scared. He pulled to a stop in front of our cabin and climbed out of the truck. I scrambled out after him. He unlocked the door and motioned for me to go in.
