let him decide,”
Kasadya suggested, turned around, and walked back into the house.
The others followed, but Max had a death glare fixed on me, pinning
me to the spot. He walked over slowly, freaking scary slowly, and
then stopped in front of me.
“What demon princess? I can’t remember
meeting a demon princess, Nanini. Is there something I should know
before I walk into that house and find out from someone else ?”
Sweet baby faes, he was really pissed.
I swallowed hard, wondering how he would take
the news.
Chapter 15
Max
Her huge eyes looked back at me. I saw her
swallow a lump in her throat. They would not have been that
stupid, would they?
“Um, maybe we should go inside and let Kas
explain this,” Nanini suggested.
I stepped to the side and indicated with my
hand for her to take the lead. She blasted past me and almost
knocked the door into pieces. That can only mean one thing: they
did do a stupid thing . Furious, I stormed into the house and
found everyone in the lounge. Kasadya was asking Chax to remain
calm until she had fully explained everything. Michael, the
Archangel, was already there and also took a seat, waiting for some
explanation.
I searched and found Nanini hiding behind
Lada. Not one of us were going to like this, of that I was sure. I
leaned against the wall and kept my eyes on Nanini.
“Okay, so you guys remember that night we
were in the little fishing town with all the cats?” Kasadya asked,
looking at Chax and all the males. Not one of us nodded, but we did
glare at her. We all woke up in the house, on the floor, with no
idea what happened but a huge bump on our heads. Clearly, the girls
knocked us out for some insane reason. Chax shifted us all back
instantly and we found them standing in a dark alley talking with
each other. We almost lost it that night. More Archangels shifted
in.
“Well, you guys lost it because Luxuria was
there with all her demons. While you were gone, she offered to help
us to get the so-called death charm off Kali in return for a
favor.” Nanini looked at me with huge eyes. Mine, on the other
hand, were trying to kill each female in the room.
Chax closed his eyes and tried to remain
calm. How could they be that stupid? A demon princess was no
walk in the park. They were pure evil and too powerful for a few
females. They could have been killed.
“Why didn’t you tell me this?!” Chax finally
yelled after remaining silent long enough.
“I didn’t think it was such a big deal.”
Kasadya replied.
“Do you know how dangerous she can be?!” Chax
fumed.
“Chax, come on! It’s over, done. Let’s try
and logically think about this,” Michael interjected.
“Indeed,” Chax replied. He was as furious as
I was. Not even Lotan was taking this well. The girls really placed
all their lives in danger by trying to negotiate with a demon
princess.
“So, what are we going to do?” Raphael asked,
leaning against the door frame of the lounge. Chax walked around
the packed room, his face strained as he thought it over.
“It might be another trap,” he said, rubbing
the stubble on his chin.
“Definitely a trap, but can we use it to our
advantage?” Michael asked, his eyes fixed on Chax.
“Might as well try. Yesterday delivered
nothing. Time is running out for us,” Chax finally said, turning
around to look at us.
“She said you should just call out to her?”
he asked Kasadya.
She nodded but didn’t say anything.
“Then we meet her on our grounds,” Chax said,
indicating for us to prepare for a shift.
“Caim, I want you and Zurita to stay behind
with Raven. Her training needs to be quick and efficient,” Chax
instructed Caim, who nodded in agreement.
Furious and really pissed off at the girls,
Chax led us outside to the gate. The Archangels shifted out, and I
took the opportunity to glare at Nanini. She was still trying to
stay clear of me. But she wouldn’t be able to for long.
Chax shifted us to an open field. There were
