No one spoke.
Or maybe I could no longer hear them.
I was… cast… into the night. Alone. Hearing only Lucifer’s final words reverberating in my head.“I’ll be back to finish this later.”
To finish what?I wondered.Finish off my life?
He could try.
But I wouldn’t make it easy for him. That was for damn sure.
Because whether Lucifer realized it or not, he needed me.
And I’m going to make sure he fucking knows it.
CHAPTER2
TYPHOS
My Warden heldthe unconscious female while my Commander’s nostrils flared.
Clearly, they didn’t approve of how I’d handled this situation.
And neither did my prince.
The disapproving glint in his multicolored irises made me growl. He arched a brow in response, daring me to comment or do anything to counter his disapproval.
Goading me, I realized,He’s fucking goading me.
He should know better, especially in my current mood.
“Be glad I didn’t kill her,” I snarled before engaging my teleportation ability and leaving them all in the room.
One of them could watch the girl. I didn’t care which of them did. They were smart enough to keep her out of trouble until I returned.
To finish this.
Whatever the fuck that meant.
I reappeared in the hallway of my palace, my fury no doubt palpable to everyone in my path. Which explained why all the Hellhounds took several steps back, eager to give me distance.
Smart Nightmare Fae.
Unresolved rage pushed against my mental barriers, stirring Hellfire in my veins. Sizzling energy crept along my skin, the power unintentionally singeing the palace floor as I stormed down the corridor.
It had been instinct to bring Camillia here after feeling the invasion of her presence in my mind.
In my soul.
In mysource.
If Melek hadn’t appeared, I would have killed her. And then what? Would I expect my prince to forever stare at the place where I had murdered his young mate?
He’s the one who chose to tie his soul to hers,I mentally muttered.
Of course, that didn’t mean I wanted to see him suffer.
Fuck, all I ever desired in life was Melek’s happiness. However, I also valued his life. And Camillia had threatened that today.
