Chapter 61: Troll Toll

Adeline

Without pausing, Adeline marched across the hotel lobby. She needed to face Zarna, the Oracle. Find Marie and get this blasted wristlet off. Too much bad stuff had happened already.

When the dragon took Jack, as a succubus, Adeline could've rounded up an arsenal of supernatural men, the weres for instance, and gotten her and Jack out with little more than a few scratches. Without her influence, she was too vulnerable, too human. And with Vlad hunting Jack, she needed her powers. Not that she could persuade Vlad or any vampire, but she could have an army of creatures protecting them until they figured out how to rid Vlad of his need for revenge.

Crap. Drew supervised at the front desk. If he saw her, he'd want sex, and she'd probably be horrible in bed right now. Before he spotted her, she detoured to the back exit near the pool. Glad to put food into her belly, she took another bite as she pushed the hotel's glass doors open.
