“Did you know that when your mother gave birth to all of you, we all knew what you were...” Agro adds, ignoring my question.
Once we have the clarification of their part in the King’s death, I know that will seal his fate, and whoever else helped them. It also means the falling of a system that had helped the wheels of Rathe spin without casualties. Shit is about to change going forward.
“Kill him, kill him! Long live the Dark King!” The crowd chants. Knight takes another step closer to Agro as their chanting grows, turning to roars and screams.
“Let me finish!” Agro snaps at Knight, straightening his suit. “After your mother gave birth to you all, we knew you’d be just like your father.”
I’d never thought much about what the Lords were. I think most of us assumed they were Monsters. The kind that can only be born from royal blood.
Agro straightens his shoulders, just as Vicente stands between me and Odin. “Belial, Judas, Cain, Nero...” he looks between Knight and his brothers as my mind thinks over all of the memories I’ve had of Knight in the past few months I’ve been with him, and more importantly, mated to him. “They mean anything to you?”
“The six demons of Lucifer...” it leaves my mouth in a whisper, more to myself than to anyone else. Power surges through me.
“I knowwhatwe are, Agro.”
“Oh, I know...” his tone catches my attention and I bring my eyes to him. “But she didn’t.”
“Wait! Six?” I stop them all. “There’s four of you, your sister, and? And who is the sixth?”
Knight turns over his shoulder slightly. The muscles on either side of his jaw bounce.You know who the fuck the sixth one is, baby. Stop playing dumb and don’t act surprised.
I stare back at Agro.
“And?”Holy what the fuck?How am I the sixth? Why am I the sixth!
“And you’re all doomed...” he answers, his eyes wide. “But I did not kill the King.”
“Was it …her?” Creed asks.
Her? Who is her?
Knight cuts me a quick glance but gives me nothing, and my mind begins to race.
I’m missing something.
“Oh no,” he chuckles. “But she was quite helpful when—”
Knight launches forward and a loud crack snaps through the air when his fist connects with Agro’s face.
I turn to face Vicente, leaving Knight to fight his dirty fight. “I don’t understand. What has me being a demon got to do with all of this, and the King being dead? If you tell me I’m his sister, I will eat you.”
Vicente’s wrinkles around his eyes deepen as he holds in a smile. “You’re not. Don’t worry. And please—”
“—London. I need to talk with you.”
Vicente's eyes snap to the man behind me, and I bring my hand to his chest to stop him.
“Stop. I can handle this myself.”
Blood splatter touches my lip as I turn to face Odin. I swipe my tongue over it before turning to see what Knight has done. Bright red muscle and meat stare back at me, just as Knight tears off the last of Agro’s flesh from his face.
I turn back to Odin unfazed. “I don’t trust you or a word you say. You were part of the Ministry, the very same who tried tokillpeople who mean a great deal to me.”
“I wasn’t.” He shakes his head, but before he can say anything more, Creed opens a portal behind him and kicks him through, shutting it quickly.
I glare at Creed. “I wasn’t done.”
“You can talk to him later. Right now, we need to control this shit show, and look at your mate...” I turn back to Knight, to see him looking out at the people of Rathe cheering. The roars are loud enough to make my ears bleed. I should have known going in how much the people of Rathe worship the Lords already. The Ministry have run things into the ground for centuries now, desperate to make themselves as important as royals.
