“You can’t lie to an incubus. I made them that way. I’m betting Celix knows you’re lying too because you can’t fib to Felid and Canid demons.”
Yeah, I could tell Celix knew Beelzebub was being squirrelly about something, but didn’t exactly appreciate getting dragged into the current shit show.
“Well, Iamfeeling a certain way, but not about that. I didn’t touch Lucifer.”
Yeah, but he might know who did. Some of the fallen wanted to go back home. Some of the angels still wanted revenge on Lucifer for the rebellion. Theycouldbe working together. One of the angels snatched Lucifer in the mortal realm with intel from a fallen.
“You’d better started talking.”
“I didn’t kidnap Lucifer, I fucked your wife.”
I did not see that coming.
“Whose wife?” Belphegor demanded.
“Um, all of them? Not Cedonia. She’s too loyal to Satan. But the rest of your wives, yeah.”
I did not see that coming either.
Satan looked like he knew damned well his wife hadn’t cheated on him with Belphegor, but the rest of them looked utterly shocked. I mean, I’d only spent a few days around these lads and I already couldn’t stand them and had them pegged for being selfish lovers.
“See? This is what happens when you take up with any woman, much less a demon woman,” Mammon said.
“Preachy McFeatherface, the common denominator in all that infidelity is a man and your thirsty ass brother. I’m guessing they wouldn’t have stepped out on a fallen angel unless another fallen angel promised to protect them if they got caught. Except Beelzebub folded faster than a dude who’s had his nuts flicked, so really, that’s his fault, too.”
“I can’t believe you fucked my wife!” Belphegor snapped.
“You can have mine. Frankly, we’ve grown apart, and I was thinking of replacing her,” Asmodeus said.
Dick.
“Dude, it seems like she replaced you first,” I pointed out.
“Not helpful,” Satan said.
“I’m helpful and an absolute fucking delight.”
“Beelzebub, you have your choice of womenandmen in this realm and the mortal realm. Why would you go after their wives? And mine wouldn’t need to tell me you tried so I could beat you to a pulp. She would have done that on her own.”
Beelzebub just shrugged.
“I was bored. When you’ve been alive as long as I have, you have to get your jollies where you can.”
“Again, you could have gotten your jollies with a demon or a human.”
“It was the challenge of it all.”
“A challenge would have been pulling that shit with my mother,” Wrathhog said.
“I was bored, not stupid.”
Yeah, they could go away now. They werewaytoo old for this shit. I wouldn’t have believed Asmodeus, but Nero confirmed he wasn’t lying. I believed Nero.
Nero knew his magic way better than I did and there was always a loophole. I needed to find out if that was the entire story.
Icouldn’t fathom being as old as these angels, but they really needed to grow up. Fucking all your friend’s wives because you were bored had to be something one did when they had way too much time and money on their hands and hadn’t learned a lick on common sense or self-control in their long lives.
Thank the Devil they were finally gone, so I didn’t have to listen to all that whining anymore. We needed to regroup. Now that her wings were going to be okay, I needed to teach Sydney how to take them out and put them away when she wanted. I was also better suited to teaching her to fly than Nero. My family never taught me, so I had to figure it out on my own.
