The beautiful green liquid sparkles like emeralds on a sunny day as soon as it touches her lips, and the demon gasps.
“S-see?! I-it’s a s-sign th-that the antidote i-is working!” he chokes out incoherently.
The brothers stare in disbelief, but a few seconds later, Melanie coughs and her eyes flutter open. She looks up at them, confused and weak.
“S-Sye… I… I.. k-knew y-you would c-come,” she pants, and Yamir immediately takes her in his arms, holding her tight while Slater steps to the side to shield her from the bodies scattered across the highway before he looks back at the highborn demon one last time, ready to snap his neck.
“She w-won’t s-survive!” he gasps the second he feels their bloodlust. “Th-the antid-dote o-only wo-orks for a sh-short p-period… sh-she w-w-will need r-regular d-doses … and th-the o-only way t-to g-get that is H-Hell!” he laughs. “Y-you w-want tor-run? W-well go ahead. W-what w-will you d-do wh-when your m-mate l-loses h-her m-mind and d-dies?!” he cackles, and the world falls silent. All you can hear is the snow falling.
Slater grits and the high demon smiles, but the brothers feel a presence akin to the Demon Kings, but lesser.
“WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO?!” Yamir howls to the being that’s taken over the body of the highborn demon.
“COME TO HELL! WE WILL SUPPLY YOU AS MUCH OF THE ANTIDOTE AS YOU NEED. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS KEEP LUST FROM ESCAPING… BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.” He smirks, and the brothers look from the demon to their mate. They take no time to deliberate.
“Fine, but she comes, too,” Enzo voices, and the demon howls out a laugh.
“A human in hell? Interesting. Fine, do what you want. Just keep Lust from escaping, and your human will live,” the being says, and the body goes limp and lifeless. Slater tosses it aside and runs over to Melanie, holding her.
“We must go. Even if it goes against our values to fight against our king. For her, we will become the villains.”
“You mean we’ll die… there’s no way we’ll survive Lord Lust.” Enzo frowns, and Yamir nods.
“But we must. For her… for our mate, we will endure any pain,” he states, picking her up. They sling Lionel over their shoulder before dropping him into a rift that will lead him home, and with one final roar that echoes off the hills, the brothers step through the rift, taking Melanie with them into the darkness to save her life.
CHAPTER NINE
MELANIE
“JJJJJJEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”
The walls tremble with an earthquake that would be an eight on the Richter scale, causing dust to fall from the ceiling. If this were back home in the penthouse, I’m sure all of the dishes would have shattered, and hell, this is one of the weaker ones this month.I wonder if he’s finally losing the power to fight just like those assholes who trapped that poor man said would happen.
“JJJEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAA!!!!!”
BOOOOOMMMM BOOOOOKKKK SSSKKKKKKEEEEEE BBOOOOOOMMMMMM BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
GRRRRRRRRRRR AAAWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO BOOOOM BOOOOOMMMM BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
I sit up, closing my book when I hear the distinct howls of Sye fighting that man, wobbling over to the door, holding my heavy belly, wincing from the weight of the babies on my bladder.God, please please ppllleeee aaasssseeeee let them be okay.
I clasp my hands together, praying for my husbands, then rub my swollen belly, still listening, holding my breath, waiting for more fighting, but when nothing else comes, I deflate, relief coming over me, sinking against the door.
God, when is this going to end?I’ve been here for so long, I feel like I’ve forgotten what Earth looks like. Did Connie enjoy her vacation? Did she really fuck Pyper’s whole family?Damn, if she did, it just pisses me off that I won’t be able to get the tea.
Is Lionel feeling better? After the accident, my poor driver had changed. While he was still the cool and charismatic Lionel, he seemed a bit more skittish, and he now believes in aliens. The poor man thought his mind was taken over by them and that’s what caused the crash. I didn’t know what to tell him, so I just gave him a huge ass check and thanked him for his service, but he declined and said he’d still work for me, helping my parents. He’s a sweet dude. I hope everything works out for him and he can be my driver again one day.
I waddle back over toward my bed, still thinking about Lionel and the last thing we talked about, which was the tea that Shanell really started fucking with that fuckboy Stone. Honestly, that made me sad for her because I can see it now.
I just know Kimberly is for sure going to try to steal him, probably fuck with him behind her back, and get pregnant or some shit. I just hoped Shanell had more sense than to mess around with a man like him, and while I don’t know much about his brother Reighn, he seems scary, too.
From what Lionel said, it sounded like he’s got feelings for her, so hopefully he at the very fucking least got to her first because if not… poor Shanell will be in for a world of mess. Well, I’m not too worried because she seems to have a good group of friends.That troublemaker Dett will make sure nothing happens to Shanell, I’m sure.
When I make it back to the bed, I moan from how good it feels to be off my feet. I plop back against the pillows, feeling a little sad that I’m going to have to give birth in this hellhole away from my parents.
Well…I look around at the grandeur of this place that still shocks me, even though I’ve been here for a long time. I would have never thought Hell could look so beautiful.
Still as beautiful as it is, it’s extremely dangerous, especially now with the King wreaking havoc in the kingdom. From what Sye told me, everything is on lockdown because he keeps sending his pheromones everywhere, and people were just fucking in the streets. People would assume there was time to be had until you realize people were literally dying while fucking.
