Chapter 419: Beck And Call
Dimitri paced back and forth in the living room that seemed to be getting smaller with every step that he took.
"You’re going to wear a hole in the floor," sneered Chang Xuefeng without looking up from his book. "You might as well relax. Tank is with her, and Hattie is going to be back when she is good and ready."
"I don’t care that the dog is with her," hissed Dimitri, his accent completely gone as he was lost in his anger. "I want to be with her."
"You could have fooled me," muttered Chang Xuefeng as he turned yet another page. It was a good thing that he had read this particular book a few times, because he was just going through the motions. He hadn’t read a single word... but that wasn’t the point.
The point was that he was supposed to be relaxed, not try to take apart the world simply because Hattie hadn’t come home for a single night.
She was a grown woman; she could do what she wanted. And if she wanted to get away from people, then he would make sure that her men didn’t hunt her down too soon.
"And just what is that supposed to mean?" demanded Dimitri, spinning around even as his eyes flashed bright red. He felt his muscles growing, getting bigger as he prepared to fight. Trying to ease the tension in his neck, he tried to stretch the muscles, but nothing was working.
"I mean, for a demon who hasn’t offered his soul yet, it doesn’t seem like you want to be with her," explained Chang Xuefeng, finally giving up on the book. If Dimitri wanted a fight, then he would be more than willing to give him one. Maybe that would help his own stress levels.
"I gave her my fucking heart!" bellowed Dimitri, flinging his arm toward the display case. "Well, it might not be MY heart, because I need that to live, but I gave her an immortal heart in a cage to show her that she had my heart."
