“What’s wrong?” I ask, reaching for him, but he pushes my hand away.
“We are leaving, and it’s best you don’t come,” he states.
“I…” I shake my head, not fulling understanding. “You said I should come.”
“I take it back. It’s too dangerous with you. My job is to keep everyone safe.”
“Wow, okay.” I step back, and he makes no move to follow me. I turn and head for the same tree I kissed him under, then drop down under it, bringing my knees up and wrapping my arms around them. I’m unsure how his feelings could change so fast, and why did I not fight it?
“Valefar.” I call his name and within a few seconds, he appears.
“Yes, Wings.”
“Does he know of me?” He knows who I’m talking about.
“I’m not sure.” He shrugs. “Should we find out?”
I nod and offer him my hand. He takes it and pulls me to my feet. I glance past him to Max, who’s watching us. He opens his mouth to say something, but in the next breath, I am gone.
I shouldn’t have trusted him.
He got what he wanted and then disposed of me as if I am nothing.
I amnot nothing.
I am Talia.
And Iamapowerful witch.
A powerful witch who’s about to meet her father and is shitting her pants just thinking about it.
ChapterFourteen
“Where are we?” I ask Valefar.
We are in a nondescript sitting area with cream-colored walls. Chairs are grouped in circles, and colorful demonic paintings hang on the walls.
“This is his domain. Only high-level demons can enter.” I turn to face him. “And his children, which should only be me…” He winks as the doors open, and a man steps in. He stops when he sees Valefar, and then his red gaze focuses directly on mine.
“I would recognize those eyes anywhere.” In the next instant, he is directly in front of me. He lifts his hand and touches my hair, but I step away. “You are your mother’s daughter.”
“And yours, it seems,” Valefar states.
The demon in front of me—who I might add is handsome, dressed in a clean black suit, shiny black shoes, and slicked-back, dark hair—turns away from me to address Valefar.
“You went searching for her.”
“Yes, Lucifer, your secret child has been found.”
Lucifer steps up to Valefar, and I watch as he backhands him across the face. Hard.
Valefar doesn’t even flinch. “Did that make you feel better?” he snarls before he disappears, leaving me alone with Lucifer.
I’m frozen in place as Lucifer spins around to face me. “Where were we?” he says and goes to a seat. He waves his hand, indicating for me to sit as well, so I do.
I’m unsure what to say or do. I cross my legs over each other as he watches me.
“You’ll have to excuse Valefar. He has a jealousy issue. He’ll realize the longer he is on this earth that it’s unnecessary to hold on to stupid ideas.”
