Their Reign (The Rite Trilogy 3)

“It was something to see, that’s for sure.”
Madame Dubois returns, and Kali’s nails click on the floor as she returns not to me but to Solana.
“What did she say?”
Solana picks Kali up and cocks her head at me. “You don’t look happy for her, Judge.”
“What did she say?”
“I’d think you would welcome a proposal from a Sovereign Son. I mean, you’re the big shots, right? The upper echelon of your creepy little Society?”
“Solana. I am going to ask you one more time. What did she say?”
“She’s thinking about it. But I’m guessing we may be hearing wedding bells soon. I’d get on that if I were you, Judge.”
The bell over the door rings as if taunting me, and I turn to find Georgie walking in. He gives me his usual glower for a greeting, then beams to Kali. I don’t wait for him to even get to her, though, before I snatch her from Solana’s arms, to the protest of both dog and woman, and stalk out of the shop thinking of how exactly I’m going to kill Clifton Phillips.
