His Little Devil (Alistar Academy #2)

Chapter 21

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

SILVER

S ix months have passed since the wedding, but time in Hell is different. I thought it was just a few weeks off. No one told me that Luke could freeze time here or skip days, weeks, months. He seems in a hurry to rush something, but I haven’t figured out what it is yet.

“Do you have any clue as to what my surprise is?” I ask Kane as we walk down to the dungeons to feed the hounds. I have become quite attached to them as I am not allowed to have dogs of my own or a pet tiger.

Luke thinks Grumpy is enough for me, though lately he seems sad, and I think he needs a friend. He doesn’t even enjoy his salmon treats.

“No, he hasn’t said anything besides that you guys will be gone for a few days, and I am in charge. Oh and I need to keep Thimon away from you.”

I laugh at that, rolling my eyes. “If I had my way, I'd just have him kicked out of the castle,” I mumble, and Kane snorts, pulling me closer into his arms.

“Love, can I ask you something?” he says, looking off at the cinder block walls, avoiding my eyes.

“Always,” I breathe and he sighs.

“Are you happy? I know you never pictured this life even if it was always meant to happen. But do you wish that you had sacrificed your love to stay at the Academy?”

My heart begins to race and my eyes water at what he's insinuating. “Wow,” I gasp, and he grunts.

“I didn't mean to upset you. I've just noticed you changing, and I know it's inevitable. The more you live in Hell the darker you will become, but I want you to know that you can fight it. You're stronger than you know, and one day you will do extraordinary things.”

I'm quiet for a minute, thinking over his words. I know he's right and know it doesn't matter anymore.

Shaking my head, I wipe my eyes and continue moving along the desolate chambers.

“It doesn't matter, Kane. The old Silver is gone. Do I sometimes wish I could see the Academy again and the guys… Yes, I don't think I will ever stop loving them, but I'm with you and Luke now. We are creating a new future, a new family.”

“Interesting choice of words, love.”

Reaching for my hand once more, he entwines our fingers, and I push forward to the dungeon where they keep the hounds.

I play for a few hours, teaching Ramsi and Nyx to play fetch and Kane laughs using his powers to turn the dark, disgusting, dank cellar into a pets paradise.

I know it's all an illusion, but the green grass and trees surrounding us makes me smile.

I can almost feel the breeze against my face and the sun warming my skin.

Magic is so freaking cool sometimes.

We leave the hounds to continue frolicking in the tall grass and head back upstairs.

My stomach has been growling for an hour and though we could have conjured something, I learned my lesson last time.

The hounds attack at the scent of food and fear.

I have a small scar on my ass to prove it.

We don't stop at the kitchen like I thought we would. Kane leads me to Luke's office and doesn't bother knocking.

The room is filled with candlelight, and there is a blanket on the floor filled with my favorite foods.

“What is this?” I ask my husband, then flick my eyes back to Kane.

Shrugging he pulls me into a steamy kiss and I wish he would take it further, but he seems satisfied to be a voyeur sometimes when Luke and I fuck.

“This is just a snack. The real meal will be when we get to your surprise,” Luke says, using his magic to thrust me into his arms where he licks the taste of Kane from my lips.

He pulls back before I can jump him and tugs me down to the floor, so we can have our treat.

I lay in the middle against Luke's thighs as the men treat me like the queen I am. Feeding me grapes and cheese, dipping chocolate along my collarbone, then licking it off.

I am so keyed up that I can't control my wiggles anymore. My thighs press together hard, and I whimper.

Kane leans down breathing in my essence as his eyes flash and his power explodes around the room.

“Fuck, Kane,” Luke grunts, and I moan.

“I can't control it around her. She breaks down all my barriers. My powers just want to fill her and claim her,” he grumbles, closing his eyes and taking some much needed breaths.

“Please,” I moan, looking at Luke. I know Kane won't touch me without Luke's permission and just for a moment I think about how different it is with these guys compared to what I shared with Wells, Don, and Arrow.

They had some kind of agreement but we never gave rules or restrictions. Luke told me Kane was mine to do with as I pleased, but he can't fuck me yet.

“Little Devil,” Luke grunts, running his hands along my body as he magics my clothes off of me.

“I need you… both,” I beg and Luke shuts his eyes before nodding. He glances at Kane, and they seem to have a conversation without even opening their mouths.

Flipping me over with a wave of his hand, Luke transports himself underneath me so I straddle him.

“Breathe,” Kane whispers into my ear as I feel the heat of his naked skin against my back. His cock pressed close to my aching pussy.

“You are my greatest sin and temptation, Silver,” he mumbles as Luke lifts me, placing me over his cock.

I wiggle until the tip of that beast fills me. Fuck, he's seriously so big. I don't understand how he's a perfect fit every damn time.

Stars explode around the room as I slide down his cock to the base. “I'll never tire of this. You were made for me, Little Devil,” Luke whispers, gripping my hips and shifting us until I'm laying against his chest.

I gaze into his eyes, and Kane preps me for him. I know he's using his powers. My body is slick, craving him. I have never been so ready to take two cocks as I am right now.

“Relax, love,” Kane whispers, blowing a breath of Lust against my lower half, making me come hard against Luke's cock.

“Fuck,” Luke groans, biting his bottom lip trying not to follow me into euphoria.

“Deep breath,” Kane orders as his cock presses against my ass making me cry out for him.

He takes his time, and soon the stars in the room swirl all around us. There are colors like the Northern Lights surrounding us, and Kane sighs.

“Mine,” he grunts, and Luke gazes at me. His brows are furrowed, and his lips are pinched.

His claws make an appearance piercing my flesh, and I whimper as Kane and him begin to fall into a push and pull sensation.

Moving his hand to my clit, I know I'm about to explode.

Kane licks my shoulder before biting me hard. My body shakes, and the lights in the room explode.

I can feel him inside of me, and I don't mean his cock. He's mine. He's another part of my soul.

I have never felt so complete, but still I feel like something is missing or someones.

I know I should be happy, but as I close my eyes, on the verge of falling over the edge again, while the guys follow, Wellson’s smirk, Donovan's pout and Arrow’s eyes fill me with longing.

Collapsing against Luke's chest, while I try to catch my breath, I can't help, but picture all of my guys.

Past and present together with me in a new future.

“Luke, what is this place?” I gasp as we portal to a hidden paradise. I think we're still in Hell, but it seems to be more like an Utopia.

Waterfalls as tall as I can see, warm springs leaving a steam floating into the air and birds of all crazy different colors fly above our heads.

There is a small cabin nearby, and it takes my breath away.

“I know I refused to let Kane take you away, but this is just another dimension of Hell. So we are safe here,” he says, snapping his fingers and changing both of our clothes into swimwear.

I glance around and laugh. “There is no one here, baby.” Slowly untying my bikini I watch his eyes glow with lust and power for me as it falls to the ground.

His nostrils flare, and I love when a puff of smoke escapes. His horns rise on top of his head, and I move closer to him, undressing him as he continues to gaze upon me like I'm some Goddess.

“So perfect,” he whispers, pulling me into him once he's as naked as I am. I'm still a little sore from the other day with him and Kane, but I have a feeling that giant hot tub is going to soothe all the aches and pains.

Lifting me, I wrap my legs around his waist and press my lips against his, pulling him into me harder.

I don't know what it is about this Devil, but he owns me. My body craves him, my heart aches when he's away. I am utterly his… Well one part of me is.

I still keep having these random thoughts and dreams about five guys surrounding me and loving me for all of eternity.

Luke carries me into the warm springs but before we sink into the water, he thrusts himself into me hard, clinging to me in a way he's never done before.

Don't get me wrong, sex with Luke is like an orgasmic experience every time, but lately he seems needy, desperate as if he knows our time is limited.

“I have dreamed of you, craved you for centuries, Little Devil. I have waited for you my perfect mate,” he sighs, sinking us into the water, while still grinding against my clit and making me see stars.

This is the first time we have fucked without a ceiling, and I don't understand how our power is so strong together that the purple sunshine is now gone to a night sky filled with stars.

“I am going to love and protect and kneel by your throne until my dying breath. You are my queen, my one true equal. No one will ever compare.”

He continues to shower me with words of his love and devotion while completely destroying my body and soul.

I love him. I know I do, but that doesn't mean that my heart isn't large enough for more.

A WEEK LATER

I have truly lost my mind. I know Kane said the longer you spend in Hell the more possible it is, but I'm not only seeing things now, I'm hearing them.

“Luke, wake up!” I hiss, shaking his arm as he grumbles. “We have to help him,” I cry, pulling my cat closer to me as I hear the wails of an innocent baby somewhere in the castle.

“Little Devil this is the fourth night in a row you have taken me on a wild goose chase along the castle. We have searched, the servants have looked. Kane even did a spell to find the baby. There is no one crying. Let Grumpy go and try to sleep.”

Sighing, I lean back and try to close my eyes. I know Luke is worried. I have purple spots under my eyes and I haven't been sleeping well.

I hear it again and nope. Jumping from the bed, I don't even bother with a robe, rushing from the room into the dark halls, I snap my fingers, lighting the sconces along the walls, still holding Grumpy in my arms.

He gazes up at me with worry, and I know I've totally lost the damn plot. He reminds me so much of Donovan lately and I wish I could still hear his snarky thoughts.

“Love, it's the middle of the night again,” Kane says from out of nowhere, making me jump, pulling my attention from my cat.

“I know but we need to find this baby, Kane. The crying. It needs me,” I whimper. Sighing he pulls me into his arms and rubs Grumpy’s head.

“Okay, love, let’s stop by the kitchen first. Get you a snack. You hardly touched dinner.”

“Oh yes, I would love some chocolate covered pretzels.” I don’t wait for him to reply, closing my eyes I picture the salty sweet treat.

“Silver, what the hell!” Kane roars, and I jump, opening my eyes. I have never heard him shout before, and honestly he’s a tad scary.

“What?” I gasp. When I tried to conjure a bag of my snack it didn’t work instead, Kane is now covered in chocolate with some pretzels on his head.

“Ummm…”

Kane looks at me, on the verge of tears and gives me a smile. Muttering under his breath he cleans himself as if it never happened.

“That was weird,” I mumble, then continue toward the kitchen. I guess I’ll just have to make them the old fashioned way.

KANE

Something is going on with Silver. Her powers are unstable. I was thinking it had something to do with her emotions, but now I’m not so sure. Her moods are unpredictable, and I hate seeing the lightness in her eyes dimming by the day.

Leaving her in the kitchen with Merida, I try to find Luke. He’s been distant, and I have to wonder if it has something to do with the new houseguest.

I believe Luke when he says that he loves Silver, but he is evil incarnate and I can smell the lust all over Shayna when he walks into a room.

Checking his office, he’s not there. Thimon pops up out of nowhere, making me jump.

“Can I help you?” he asks, and I cross my arms.

“Where’s Luke?”

Pursing his lips, he gives me a nasty little smile.

“I was sworn to secrecy by my Lord, but might I suggest the greenhouse,” he says, then snickers as I turn and head outside.

It doesn't take me long until my eyes are glowing, and my cock is hard. Sometimes I hate being an Incubus.

Smelling the lust and desperation in the air, I know that I am coming up on Luke and Shayna.

She's practically panting for him as he ignores her advances, digging into the burnt soil, searching for something.

He's been happier the last few days, and I wonder if he's noticed how off our girl has been.

Something happened at the Springs, but he hasn't told me what.

Finally realizing that they aren't alone, Shayna gasps, pressing her hand to her chest. “Kane, you startled me,” she coos, licking her lips and giving me a once over.

There may have been a time when I would have taken what she's offering but not since meeting Silver. She’s my mate, and I’ve marked her as mine. Not even death will break a bond like ours.

“Luke, have a second?” I ask him, and he grumbles something under his breath, then cleans his hands of the soil, and climbs to his feet, nodding.

“Why don't you go see if Merida or Bridgett need help,” he tells Shayna, and I watch as her eyes widen.

“You want me to go help the servants?” she asks, and I roll my eyes. When Shayna first arrived she seemed sweet, a little quirky, but over time she's becoming accustomed to staying here and if she could get rid of Silver, I have a feeling she wouldn't stop at anything to be Luke's queen.

But she better be careful, because I can tell Luke is becoming fed up with her. Just because she has our protection doesn't mean he won't lock her in the dungeon with Alara.

Speaking of, I should probably check on the old hag.

“Go,” Luke snaps, his nostrils flaring. Shyana’s eyes widen even more, and it's almost comical. Turning she hurries away, and I chuckle.

“What did you need me for?”

“I wanted to talk to you about Silver, there is something off with her. Her magic is unstable, and hearing a baby at night isn't normal,” I begin, and Luke raises his hand, stopping me.

“Silver is experiencing Clairvoyant tendencies. The child she's hearing is ours, but in the future. As for her magic, I'm not sure,” he mumbles something, then leaves me gaping at his back.

I chase after him, and he sighs, looking at me sheepishly, and I can say I never thought I would experience the big bad Devil looking guilty.

“So you finally bred her?” I can't stop my smirk, and he pushes me away with a gust of wind.

“Yes, but I'm not telling her until she figures it out. She's got too much on her mind as is, but I do think we have a solution to her night escapades,” he says, then walks into the castle, heading right for his bride.

Sitting in bed with Donovan on her lap, she's concentrating really hard, muttering something.

The mattress is covered in an assortment of food, and other items, and she seems agitated.

“Little Devil,” Luke speaks, snapping her from her trance. She looks up at us, and there are black swirls in her silver eyes.

What the fuck is that? Blinking they disappear.

Pulling something out from her under her pillow, I recognize Elena's journals.

The only one that would have benefitted her is the ones she's read, so I'm not sure why she has the other one.

Elena never married Luke, she ran off with some peasley warlock and married him, having children and creating the line of Forests.

“I think I'm going crazy,” Silver whispers, and Luke shakes his head.

“No, you're not, and I can prove it. Come,” he says, snapping his fingers. Silver glares at him, and I can see the fire growing within her eyes.

The silver turns to a molten metallic, and her fingers twitch with some sparks escaping her fingertips.

“Did you just snap at me like I'm some dog,” she growls, and Donovan jumps from her lap, hissing at Luke.

“Little Devil, we don't have time for this. I have a meeting tonight with the coven, and you need to come with me beforehand.”

Sighing, Silver closes her eyes, takes a few breaths, then shoves the blankets off her lap not caring that food falls to the ground.

Climbing from the bed, I notice how pale and weak she is. I hope whatever Luke plans to do will help her.

Shuffling over to us, I pull her into my arms for a quick kiss, then gently shove her to Luke.

Now that she's expecting, Luke won't have an issue if I decide to take our relationship to the next level.

Donovan is growling on the bed, and he's about to attack Luke. Moving forward, I swoop him up into my arms and portal us out of there.

Luke may hate me, but it's time that this pussy cat is reunited with his family.

I may need his help to save our girl.

ARROW

I am about at my wits end. I'm not sure what more to do. Graduation was a horror show, and even my visions were too late to stop the massacre from happening.

Donovan is still missing. Wells is still asleep, and I'm drinking myself into an early grave.

Myah even took Mylie away. I swore I'd protect her, but the Hunters are too close to campus for anyone to be safe.

They returned to the small magical shielded town, Crystal Cove, and she asked me to come with them, but I couldn't leave Wells.

A portal appears in the living room setting off the wards and alarms I've placed all over the cottage.

School is out for the Summer and it's just me and Wells on campus. Even Jade and Clara left.

I know everyone is on edge just waiting for the Hunters next move.

Running into the other room, I'm not expecting to see Kane and why is he holding a cat?

“Take a seat,” he tells me, waving his hand toward the sofa. This place is filthy with a layer of dust covering everything, but I don't care.

“Why are you here?” I mumble and he sighs, placing the cat on the floor.

“I am going to get sent to the torture chambers, but I think it's time.”

I raise my eyebrows at him. “What are you talking about?”

With a wave of his hand and a spell under his breath the cat in the room begins to change.

“What the fuck?” I shout as a naked man appears. His hair is shaggy and he has a beard now, but I'd know him anywhere.

“Don,” I mumble, falling to my knees and pulling him into my arms. Tears flow down my cheeks and I don't even care.

“How? I thought you were dead,” I choke out and he groans, arching his back, stretching his limbs in a cat-like manner.

He grumbles, but it's more like a purr when he tries to speak.

Kane plops down on the couch and groans.

“Silver is changing and it's not good. The darkness is consuming her, and even though Luke says he has it handled, I fear he doesn't. This is going to come back to get me killed, but I need your help. She needs your help.”

Don pulls away from me and hisses. My eyes widen, and Kane groans.

“He needs some time for the spell to wear off. But he should be okay. Luke was a cat off and on before, and he came back to himself.”

“Wait… Holy fuck! Lucifer was Luke?”

I start to laugh, and I soon can't stop. I know it's because I'm exhausted, and I need a long ass nap. Maybe I'll spell myself into a coma.

Take a long deserved rest now that Don is back. He can handle shit for a bit.

“So… will you help me?” Kane asks, bringing us back to the topic at hand, and I shrug.

“Honestly, Kane, I'm not sure what we could do. I haven't seen Silver since the night of the ceremony and since then my magic has been fucked up.”

It's true after she ascended my powers grew, but now they are cloudy and the only visions I can see are fake.

Silver is with Luke in Hell. She won't be returning or having kids with me.

It's time to move on.

Donovan is back, now we just need to heal Wells and get the fuck out of Salem.
