Dad arched his brow.
“I’m sure,” Selina said, boldly stalking toward him and wrapping her arms around his neck, one leg around his thigh. Yep, there was the ass cheek. “Absolutely sure.”
This was officially weirding me out.
Dad pressed a hand to the small of Selina’s back and tossed a spell over his shoulder. All the demon chatter going on while we were having our private conversation abruptly stopped.
He turned himself and Selina to face the crowd.
“New plan, minions,” he announced. “I’m going to create a new spawn. A better spawn.” Glancing over Selina’s head, he winked at me before turning back to his followers.
“Let’s go home!”
A rousing cheer cut off abruptly when Dad zapped a nearby demon, turning him to dust.
“What was that for?” Selina asked, sounding almost giddy.
“He looked at you funny.”
She kissed his cheek.
Huh. As weird as it was, maybe this would work out after all.
Dad threw his arms into the air, and I raised my own, in front of Asmoday and Krishna, taking several steps backward and shunting them along with me.
The ground began to shake and shiver, like it had been doing on and off for the last few weeks. The shaking increased in intensity until suddenly, the grassy area between us and Dad and his minions split wide open like, well, a portal to Hell.
Dad grinned. “It took me a week to be able to do that. The wards around this place are quite impressive.”
I made a mental note to see about improving them even more. I wasn’t in a hurry for a follow-up visit from my father.
Selina better damn well provide him with a new heir.
The demons began shuffling toward the hole, walking right off the edge like a bunch of lemmings. When Dad and Selina were the only ones left, he lifted his hand in a farewell wave.
“Enjoy your life, my spawn.”
“You too, Dad.”
It was the closest we’d ever come to saying “I love you.”
Asmoday squeezed my shoulder. “Come on, let’s get back inside. I’m sure the headmistress is going to call an assembly or something. We don’t want to be late.”
I laughed.
And just like that, life went back to normal.
I hoped it stayed that way.
EPILOGUE
“Why, hello there, Professor Asmoday.”I strutted into the Magical Transportation classroom, my gaze latching onto the superhot demon-slash-elf sitting behind the desk, scribbling in a notebook. He wore a pair of slacks and a button-down shirt, his cloak draped over the back of his chair.
He glanced up, smiled widely, and slammed the notebook shut. I arched my brows. “Are those the answers to the first test?”
He continued to watch me as I moved deeper into the room. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
“Yes, actually.”
