“That backfired, obviously,” Lauren pointed out. “Or we wouldn’t be getting marked up by a voodoo doll while a demonic penguin is… Wait! Where did the penguin, doll, and voodoo doll army go?!”

The table had been cleared out and the crew of miniature beings was all gone with my demonic familiar, which meant this may not have been as maddening as it appeared to be.

“Wait. Where’s Voodoo Lexi?” Nathan dared to ask. They looked in my direction, and that only made me slowly look down to see the very voodoo doll in question hovering just above the ground and grasping her knife in her lifted hand.

From the height that knife was at, there was only one place the sharp tip of that blade would hit.

“You’re not going to stab me in the fucking cock, Lexianne Heartwell!” I declared in pure irritation, which surely wasn’t going to help my case because the voodoo doll smiled frighteningly.

“She’s going to stab him in the cock?!” Lauren hollered and fucking lost it. “O.M.G. This is the best fucking entertainment I’ve had in centuries! A voodoo doll stabbing a Demon Lord’s cock! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Someone record this shit! Please!”

“Never mind. I just want to die now,” Nathan concluded. “I don’t want to feel what she’s about to do.”

“Damn,” a few of the guards muttered. “That’s gonna hurt.”

“I know we’re gonna die and all, but we salute the shadow man over there,” another declared, which pointed out one obvious thing.

Wait. They can see me now?

“Voodoo Lexi!” The voice came from above from the opposite side on the second floor. Those who were facing or could move their eyes in that direction caught onto the individual with bright teal hair with silver locks.

He yawned while the wrists of his hands were resting on the black rails he was leaning on. His expression was as calm as ever, though he looked a bit tired while his hands were wrapped with multiple threads.

The puppeteer behind Voodoo Lexi’s grand entrance.

“C’mon, Voodoo Lexi. I know you need to mark them just in case this place explodes when time gets back to moving, but stabbing our Alpha’s cock? He’ll lock us up in Demon Valley Prison for the rest of our existence! How am I going to watch the last episode of Boruto with Felix and Fynn if you’re going to sentence us to an eternity of suffering?”

Colton.

I never expected to be saved by the puppet master assassin, and yet there he was. His statement suddenly clicked in and I now understood what was going on and why none of us could move.

Shit. Lexianne…stopped time?

As mind-blowing as it was, it made complete sense. This place was my territory and my magic was woven into the shadow magic of this very structure. Even the wards only took into consideration my magic.

They never took into consideration Lexianne’s ability to manipulate space.

All she had to do was witness me pull off the move and then she perfected it to a T.

Impressive.

What else could describe what we were witnessing with our own eyes?

“KiKiKiKi!” The manic Kis made me wish I could further tense up at my voodoo mate’s spiraling eyes, but the strings tugged her higher until she was eye level. Her disappointment was so obvious but she swung herself forward just to latch onto my face.

And kissed me…before she stabbed my chest.

“Ow…” Nathan groaned. “She stabbed him.”

“But she did kiss him before she stabbed him so that’s a form of affectionate torture which is kind of cute,” Lauren offered. “What’s this about time stopping, bombs on the verge of exploding, and us needing to be marked?”

“Right,” Colton spoke up as Lexi was pulled back—her Kiki giggles trailing behind until she was back on the table thanks to Colton’s hand movements. “To quickly put it, that trickster Baker was lying to all of you about the whole countdown and shit.”

“Huh?” Lauren commented. “What do you mean he lied? He told his guards who, by the way, were going to shoot that bitch over there dead, rape and stun me before dropping me, and leave your Alpha’s ass here to become one with the blown-up earth, that in less than five minutes, this place would be blown to bits so they should hurry up.”

“Nah.” Colton shook his head. “The moment that douche left the building was when the bomb was activated.”

“But we’re still here,” Nathan voiced as he peered over at me with his eyes as if to make sure I was still in place. “Goldibitch was going to move but then got her throat sliced by Voodoo Lexi.”
