Page 65 of His Little Devil
I expected him to beat me up, but he didn't. He took me under his wing and showed me where to go to get warm and who in the town would be decent enough to give us scraps.
It was a rough life, but he made it bearable. I will always love, respect, and honor Luke.
If Silver is my fated mate, it only makes sense that Luke and I would share a woman. We're family.
Thimon continues to rant, and I tune him out.
He’s acting like an idiot, and I don’t even want to comment on the fact that he’s dressed in white lace, similar to the gown that Silver had made for the ceremony.
A woman with green eyes walks into the Academy’s dining hall, which we have taken over for today, and she gives me a hesitant smile.
“Hi, I’m here for Silver’s wedding. I’m Jade. Her best… Well, I was her best friend. I don’t know anymore, since I haven’t heard from her in a long time.”
I offer her my hand and release a tiny bit of my magic, relaxing her.
“Hi, Jade, it’s lovely to meet you. I’m Kane, and I can assure you that Silver will be very glad to see you.”
“She's mentioned me? She doesn't hate me for deceiving her?” I give her a nod as Thimon scoffs.
Her shoulders relax, and another woman joins us.
“Sorry, I know. I couldn’t find my earrings,” she says to Jade, then shoots me a wink.
“Hi, Clara,” I say with a smile and lean over to kiss her cheek. She giggles and takes Jade’s hand.
Thimon is pouting in the corner like a child who’s had his toys taken away, and I roll my eyes, ignoring him.
“How is she?” Clara asks me, and I smirk.
“She had a long night, but as for the wedding, she’s fine. I think she’s even happy.” Clara nods and gives Thimon a glare.
“Well, we will see you in there,” she says, then pulls Jade into the portal.
A few more people show up, and I am about to snap at the moron beside me.
After a man and troll cross over, I turn to Thimon and wave my hand, binding him with a happy spell.
“Cut your shit and start acting like you are the assistant to the damn Devil,” I shout and he sighs, then nods.
I don’t know how long we’ve been here greeting people and allowing them into the portal, when the people of the hour finally grace us with their presence.
“I don’t know why I am fucking here,” Winnifred Blackwell whines, and her father grips her arm tighter, pulling her into the room.
I give them a big smile and wave my hand, changing the portal. “Right this way, Sir,” I say with a charming grin, allowinga little of my magic to fill the room and relax them. They have no idea what’s about to happen, and I can’t fucking wait.
It’s time to eradicate the scum.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
SILVER
Iwait in the hallway outside the Chapel for my cue. There are black rose petals covering the floor where I stand, and floating candles lighting the path. It’s beautiful in a dark, satanic way.
I can hear people murmuring through the closed wooden door, but I don’t know what they are saying. I wonder if I will even know anyone inside. I wish my family was here.
Closing my eyes, I say a quick prayer. I don’t know if I should really be praying to God in Hell, but just because I’m about tomarry the Devil, it doesn’t mean I have lost my faith completely, and plus, Luke was an Angel at one time.
Kane comes rushing down the hall and takes my hand. “Love, you are the most exquisite sight,” he says, then presses a kiss onto my cheek.
