Guardian's Flame [Guardian City 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Grace Lynn Page A

keeping up. The Swamp slowly faded from view, and Nathan was excited to be away from the dreadful place. How are we going to get home? Do we have to go back through The Swamp? Nathan asked.
    If we have permission to leave, no. I’ll be able to open a portal from inside according to Mufasa here. If we have to run for our lives then yes, Demend answered, earning a string of cuss words from Jason. Nathan had to agree, it would be best to get a nice way out, but they could always go back through it if they had to. The morning passed by slowly as the group had to stop and walk for a bit, and then run a little. Nathan was surprised at the slow pace that Incubi had to take and was grateful to be a Shape-Shifter. It would take forever for a pack to cross their territory at this speed.
    By midday, they were passing small houses that thickened the closer they got to their destination. Silence had taken over the party, and Nathan found himself wishing he was there already. Nathan was concerned about their mate, and what sort of challenge could possibly be issued. Nathan scanned his brain for any knowledge he remembered about Incubi, but found that he didn’t know much about them. The only thing he’d ever been taught about them was their need for victims, by using a person’s sexual desires against them. Other than that Nathan didn’t know anything else about them. He made a mental note to visit the library more and start becoming knowledgeable about other species. They approached a small hill, and the Incubi slowed to a steady walk.
    Nathan followed suit, though he wasn’t even close to being winded. Jason walked beside him, wrapping his small hand around Nathan’s. Nathan smiled and quickly pecked Jason on the cheek. As they reached the peak of the hill, Nathan got an entire view of the condensed area. Buildings were strung about close together, all surrounding a circular, cobbled road. In the center of the trading post, a tented area stood with people wandering about in their daily routines. They followed the group toward the trading center, passing wagons that were set up alongside the road to be the first things travelers saw. Nathan figured there must be other towns that held the Incubus’s tribes. It would make sense to have a shared trading place, where all tribes could trade equally.
    As they walked the circular drive, they had to dodge people going about their daily routines. Water was carried in large pots by women and children. Children tossed stones in a hand-drawn board, playing some sort of game. They looked like humans to Nathan, only everyone here was attractive. Nathan assumed the women were Succubae, while the men were Incubi. He just didn’t understand why they were divided into two separate species, when they were the same species. Nathan shook his head and followed the group toward a scandalizing-looking building. Animal skins hung on the windows behind women and men dressed in next to nothing. Guards patrolled around the extremely large building that was named “Fusion” in dark pink lettering. A line waited outside the building, but it didn’t seem as though anyone was getting in.
    The Incubi led the way toward the door, with the leader Demend called Mufasa, whispering something to a bouncer before breezing past the guard. Their small group followed the man inside the doors that were held open by two women that had more sparkle on them than a rich woman’s diamond ring. Nathan paused inside, giving his eyes a moment to adjust to the darkened room. Music played from speakers throughout, shaking the glasses that hung from pegs behind a fully stocked bar. Tables were lined around a center stage, with an upper floor overlooking the main floor. A single woman danced on the stage in clothes that left little to the imagination. Nathan was speechless, and for a moment had no idea what they were doing here. Nathan followed their group to a reserved table, where the trio was left alone, watching a female seduce
