MARIANA WAITED FOR THE man who had just killed her father to burst
through the door of her bedroom and say what his intentions were with her.
She sat at the foot of her bed in her favorite dressing gown with the skirt
arranged so her crossed legs were visible through the slit. It was hardly
necessary since the fabric was so gauzy it left almost nothing to the
imagination.

The necklace she’d worn since she was sixteen had fallen from her neck
ten minutes ago, and she knew there was only one reason that would have
happened: Basilio Reyes, the demon king of Las Vegas, was dead.
For the first time in a long, long while, Mari had no idea what was about
to happen. When the usually silent Rio had whispered to her to stay in her
room after dinner, goosebumps had prickled all over her body. Somehow,
she had known exactly what that heralded, although she couldn’t say what
would happen as a result.
Out her third-story window, the lights from the Strip glowed in the
distance. Though some might call the display garish, she found it soothing.
The same could not be said for the room around her, which was decorated
to her father’s tastes rather than hers. The blue and gold color scheme might
be tasteful to some, but she found it grating because it felt so thoroughly not
her. She was bold, bright colors and plush textures that begged to be
touched.
She’d waited what seemed an eternity, straining to overhear when an
argument started and then wincing when the sounds turned more obviously
toward violence. Finally, she heard the heavy tread of a large person move
up the hall and pause outside her door. The shouting had stopped a while
ago. Now came the reckoning.
The timid knock surprised her. She composed her face in the blank mask
she normally wore and called, “Enter.”
The door opened to reveal one of the largest men Mari had ever seen. He
wasn’t just tall, but so broad he almost couldn’t fit through the door. His
leathery wings rose behind him, granting him an even more imposing
stature. He’d obviously been in a fight, judging by the bruising and cuts she
could see fading on his matte gray skin even as she watched. When his allblack eyes found her, she couldn’t help but flinch, not because she was
scared of him, but because of the pain she saw there.
“Princess,” he drawled.
She pitched her voice low so he had to lean into the room to actually hear
her. “Francisco.”
“Your father is dead.”
“I know.” She held up the remains of her necklace before casting it aside.
She’d expected at least some feelings of sadness, but there was nothing, just
a bottomless void where her grief should have been. She supposed that had
to do with the type of man her father had been.
