![]() Book of Enchantresses
-- EXCERPT: Kiera’s point of view “Would you like something to drink?” a man with a long beard asked, wiping a glass with a white towel. The bartender was dressed in all black and wore a black metal bracelet that reminded me of a Fitbit. Not a human. Ezekiel had told me about those bracelets. The vampires who wore them owed a debt to a master, most of the time to the master who had created them. If he tried to escape, the master only needed to push a button on a device and the vampire would incinerate. “No, thank you. I’m waiting for someone.” I waved a hand and flashed a glance at the other three bartenders. Two of them were female vampires, both wearing a black metal bracelet. I was just about to turn when he leaned closer. “I’ve never seen you here. Is this your first time?” Do I tell him the truth? He’s probably been working here for a long time. Best not to lie. “Yeah, my first time. I’m here to meet someone.” “Would you like to leave?” I blinked in confusion, and something in my stomach knotted. “Why would I leave? I already told you, I’m meeting someone.” He placed down the glass, flung the towel over his shoulder, and leaned forward to show me his sharp canines. “You’ve come to the wrong club, lady.” My skin tingled. A warning. “No. I know where I am. Perhaps you need to keep your opinions to yourself. Do I need to speak to the manager?” I made a point to look at his bracelet, which flashed a tiny red light. He glared. “My master won’t care. I know what organization you work for. Do you know what we do with your kind?” Lie. Deny it. I crossed my legs so I could easily access the weapon tucked inside my boot. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you think I would come alone and start something to get myself killed? You’re a fool. I have no idea who you think I am, but I am just a lowly Nephilim.” Who will kick your ass if you touch me. “Perhaps. Then can you explain the crowd standing behind you with death written across their faces?” I flicked my gaze to the mirror behind the bar. It was now packed with supernatural beings. Shit. This is a set-up. I’m going to kill that bitch witch. ![]()
