I touch her chin. “Raven. Look at me. Focus on me.” Resting my paw on her belly, I growl deep enough to send a rumble through her. “Little spawns, don’t take your mama away. I know you want to protect her, but you’re safe. Daddy has you.” I lean forward and snuggle against Raven, feeling as her body finally relaxes as she stops fighting.

She gasps and curls her arms around me, yanking my horns as she tries to orient herself to what happened. “Kase...”

“Everyone, finish up. I got our woman. She’s safe.” I inspect every inch of her to be sure. Her eyes lock to mine, glassy with tears, and I lean in and lick her. “She just needs a minute, and we’ll be right back.”

Raven snuggles her face against me. I transform back into my human façade completely, showering her with a dozen kisses. She smiles as I work my way down and blow raspberries into her cleavage, her tits glorious and plump, and enticing me to want to give her a warmup to show her what she’s in for with those spawns of ours. Desensitize her to getting bit on the nips on occasion.

“Thank fucking Hell you caught me.” Raven’s voice shakes, and she clutches my head, easing me away from her tits. “I hadn’t realized I entered through the portal. That was fucking freaky.”

“Micah is going to want to punish your ass later. Why don’t you let me prepare you? I can love you up for a bit. Help calm that racing heart.” I sneak my tail around her, teasing her ass, feeling her pucker.

She gasps a laugh. “You know you’re just going to make my heart beat faster.”

“As long as it’s for the right reason.” I grin and lean in, kissing her forehead. She groans and hugs me tighter, savoring my affection and silently begging me to just hug her and cuddle her. I’ll give her whatever she wants.

“I knew you were an unfaithful bitch, and it’s so fucking satisfying to see that you screwed over the devils.” Joel’s voice slashes through the air, his sudden appearance tensing Raven’s muscles.

This dickhole. How dare he speak to my angel-girl like this.

I snarl, gathering Hell power in my palm. Raven snatches me by my wrist, not letting me shoot a wave of fury at the bastard. Her eyes light with the fires of Hell around us, and she heaves a breath of agitation. I love how confident she is in this moment. There was a time that she was so afraid of this rotten soul that she’d have panicked. But now? She’s embodying the glorious wrath of my kingdom.

“You’re a psychotic, stupid, shitface, murdering bastard! You have a lot of fucking nerve coming and accusing me of cheating on my devils. I’ve never cheated on anyone in my life.” Whipping her attention around, Raven tries to confront Joel. I loosen my hold just enough for her to face the asshole.

“You’re a liar.” Joel jerks his eyes to mine. “She’s a fucking liar. A bitch. I know she was sleeping around on me.”

His soul is about to be obliterated.

I don’t even get the chance to react as flames burst from Raven and swallow Joel, sending him to his knees. He screams and writhes in pain, arching his back. Raven wiggles in my arms, and I finally let her down. I know she wants to tear the fucker another ten assholes for the demons to play with, and I’m here for it. I find her need to put him in his place so fucking sexy. I feel like I want to fuck her brains out while she does it.

“You have no control over me here! Your words mean nothing. You can’t manipulate my devil. He knows me, and he knows you as the scumbag, douche canoe you are. You will pay for all the pain you put me through. You will pay for your sins. You will never, and I mean fucking never, find peace. You’ll never reach Purgatory. You’ll suffer. Forever.”

Raven strides forward, the Hell power in her palms turning into brilliant light. Her body sets a glow with the heavenly power, and I squint as heat radiates across my skin. I’ve never seen her summon so much at once. Hell doesn’t even stand a chance against it. My kingdom rumbles around us, and I lace my tail around her belly, keeping her steady as she moves forward through the quaking world.

“Raven, please! Please, I’m sorry.” Joel’s pain and agony waft through the air, the scent like sweet vanilla. I inhale a deep breath, savoring it even more.

“It’s too late. Your soul cycle is over forever. You will never hurt anyone again.” Raven thrusts her arms out, shooting the heavenly light at Joel, and his body explodes like a bright white firework. Hot wind whips around her, sending her hair blowing, and I gawk in surprise as Joel’s very essence turns into a tornado and swirls around her. The energy left behind by his soul’s annihilation funnels itself into Raven, and for a second, I glimpse glorious horns protruding from her head. Bright wings sprout from her back, and she flaps them once before her new image vanishes, leaving her on her knees in her mortal state.

She hunches over and clutches her stomach, and I drop down, bowing over her. I’ve never seen anything like this before, and the power radiating from her gives me a massive fucking boner. She encompasses what I remember of being with the Higher Power. It’s as if she has now been made in its mirror image. She carries both light and dark, and it’s not only because of the babies. It’s her. She might not have her soul, but the power she got from Joel is as if she managed to create another from nothing. She is the ultimate creator of life, and she’s the ultimate destroyer.

“Unholy fucking Hell, angel-girl. Look at me. Let me see your eyes.” I tilt her head up and search her gaze, seeing fire light one of her blue irises while the most beautiful silver flicks in the other. “Are you okay? What about the babies? You fucking devoured him. You changed his very energy.”

Raven doesn’t speak. She continues to cup her stomach while staring at me, her pouty mouth breathing in and out as she puffs her bottom lip.

Fear strikes me in the chest, and for the first time in a long time, I’m afraid. I’m not afraid of Raven. I’m afraid for her. She might embody a wicked amount of power in this moment, but she’s still mortal. She looks as if she might break or shatter at any second. I can’t allow it. I won’t allow it.

I gather her into my arms and send power around us, shifting us from my kingdom and back to the Mortal World. She gasps at the sensation of falling through the planes, and I steady myself, grabbing on to Dante’s shoulder as I return to the summoning circle.

Everyone surrounds us, but the intensity of their emotions, aroused by Raven, leaves her panting harder. She needs space. I can see it in her eyes,

“Give me a second,” she whispers, her voice hoarse. “Kase, please take me to the room.”

I follow her orders, pushing past the others even though I know they want to follow behind. I threaten them with a growl and strut down the hallway and to our king bed, setting her on the edge to kneel before her.

“Breathe in and out, angel-girl. You just absorbed energy incomparable to anything you’ve ever experienced. That’s some devil and angel shit right there.” I massage my fingers into her shoulders, shifting her legs to be able to get as close as possible.

“I feel weird. I feel like I have a soul, and everything is a million times more intense.” She bows forward and rests her head on my shoulder. “I feel as if I’m going to explode. Everything hurts.”

I lean forward and press my forehead to hers, sharing her breath, encouraging her to breathe in and out with me. “You can release it. I want you to hold out your palms, and I want you to focus on that sensation crawling through you. I want you to imagine it flowing through your body from your heart and into your hands. Will it to form in one central location.”
