Chapter 13

I bolted past Rohan onto the property, screaming.

Baruch caught me, turning me around. "Look." Despite throwing themselves at the open gate, the spider demons were being repelled, as if bouncing off an invisible rubber shield. "Wards," he explained. "Keeps out anything with even a drop of demon blood."

Feeling braver, but no less disturbed because big-ass spider demons, I inched closer. "Kind of stupid to attack Demon Club, especially when they can't get in."

"Araculum aren't known for their brains." Rohan grabbed one of the hairy leggy fuckers in mid-repel, handing it over to Baruch, who pinned it, immobile, in one hand.

I jumped back. "What happened to them not getting through?"

"Of their own accord. We can bring them in just fine." Rohan's lips curled in a small smirk. "They don't like that much."

I pressed in closer to Baruch who, despite holding a demon, seemed like the safer of the two Rasha to hang with right now.
