One Year Later
Davina's P.O.V. My whole life changed a year ago when Selene asked me to help her and gave me one of her warriors as a mate. Now, I have a family. I don't have any children yet, but everyone else at the palace is now my family, even if sometimes I make them angry. I think it was only fair to make Wyatt feel what Jessi was going through when she was in heat, so I gave him the heat. I look down at my little goddaughter Camilla in my arms. Jessi said both Rmina and I are her godmothers, but we all know a witch can't be a godmother. It's supposed to be a fairy; that's why they're called fairy godmothers. Jock and I have been trying to have a baby since returning from Nevada and helping Selene's daughter Hailey. That was a fun little trip. I think she and Dante will be okay now. We haven't had any luck getting pregnant, no matter how many times we have sex, and we do it a lot. I hope nothing is wrong wAsmodeus' P.O.V. I feel a rage like never before as I stare at my daughters, Melantha and Maelani. I told them to get Davina and bring her to me, but instead, they came empty-handed. Well, not entirely empty-handed, they gave me the news that my fairy was mated to another, and they had marked each other. Who does she think she is? She promised that she would bear my children so I could take over the underworld as I planned. I can't do it without her. No one understands why I'm adamant that it has to be her; that's because they don't know what I know. Davina is more than a fairy. She's something special, only seen every few centuries. I need to get her back before anyone else discovers the truth. "Why did you leave her there? Why didn't you bring her with you?" I scream at the incompetent twins who dare to bear my name. Having sex with their mother was a mistake, and letting them be born was an even bigger one.
Jessi's P.O.V. I watch Davina with Camilla and I know she's hiding something. She thinks when she laughs, we can't see the pain behind the giggle. I know it's there, and after what she told me today about not being able to get pregnant, she's in even more pain than she lets on. Davina looks like an innocent little fairy, but there are many people who are scared of her because of her magic. I'm pretty sure all the men in the palace do whatever they can to stay clear of her after what she told us about Satan. Jock's the only one who has nothing to fear because, let's face it, she's not going to make herself suffer by making his penis shrink. I try to take my daughter when our food is served, but Davina shakes her head. She loves Camilla, but I also know she sometimes uses her as a shield to take her mind off what's bothering her. If this ass man is coming for her, she's not going to fight alone.
Asmodeus P.O.V.I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep while I think about how I'm going to get my fairy. Now that my idiot daughters let her know we'll be coming back, I'm positive Davina and her mate are making a plan to stop us. As long as she doesn't find out the truth, then I should be able to get her. I look toward my door when I hear it open. It's too dark to see who it is right away, but as she gets closer, I see it is Maelani, and she's naked. What the fuck is she doing? I decide to watch her for a minute to see what her plans are. She tiptoes to the bed and sits on the side. She slowly turns and lays down. After a few minutes, she slides over next to me, and just as she's about to straddle me, I sit up and throw her onto the floor."What the fuck are you doing?" I'm a demon, yet I can tell her soul is so dark she's practically oozing black blood. "Come on, Daddy, don't you find me attractive?" Maelani stands up and tries to get on the bed
Davina's P.O.V.Maelani looks at me in surprise but quickly recovers. She tries to grab me, and I can't believe she has the audacity to think she's going to come into the palace and take me without a fight. When she grabs my arms, I grab her neck and squeeze. She lets go of my arm, and I throw her against the wall."Come on, demon bitch show me what you got," I say as Jock gets out of bed. He stays back, though. The others are still invisible, so I don't know exactly where they are. Maelani stands up and glares at me."I don't know why my dad is determined to have you, but I'm going to take you to him. First, he has to do something for me, and then he can have you as his prize. Now let's go, you stupid fairy." She runs towards me, but I'm busy watching her eyes. Let's see how she likes my song. I twirl away and giggle while she keeps trying to grab me."The demon bitch and her father. The demon bitch and her father. She wants to ride his dick so she
Maelani's P.O.V.I can't explain it, but while I was trying to fight Davina, I felt almost at peace. There has been so much darkness around me that I forgot I wasn't always evil. I had hoped a mate would claim me and take me away from my family. When Davina touches my hand, I can't hold back my tears. "I'm so sorry. They all got in my head so much that all I could see was darkness. I don't want to hurt anyone." I tell her honestly. I have no right to expect anyone to forgive me. "Look at me," Davina says. I look into her bright green eyes, and she smiles."Your eyes are no longer black; they're dark green. So pretty." She says from where she kneels on the floor in front of me. How can anyone radiate so much positivity and happiness all the time? I don't know why my dad is intent on getting her, but I can't let him. I can't allow her light to be dimmed by the evil of that realm."I feel different. I promise I won't let my dad or anyone else g
Davina's P.O.V. I look at my mother, and I feel so many things. Happiness that I have a mother, anger because I've been wondering aimlessly for so long, not knowing where I came from, and confusion as to why they're telling me now. Jock is on his knees next to me, holding me in his strong arms. He may be the silent type, and I'm the loud, flamboyant type, but we can move mountains together. He helps me stand when he knows I'm ready without me saying anything. "Why am I only hearing about you now?" I'm not able to hide the anger in my voice. I'm hurt that all this time, I thought I was just a plain fairy when really I'm the daughter of a goddess who turned me into a fairy. So what am I? A goddess fairy or a fairy goddess? Laetitia walks toward me. "I'm sorry, Davina. I was scared if someone knew who you were, they would kill you to get to me, and I refused to put your life in jeopardy. You've been on Earth for
Darian's P.O.V.I'm making my way to the palace in order to help defeat the demons who will be attacking them soon. I need to get revenge on those in the underworld for my family, so Selene asked me to help; I willingly agreed. I fly overhead in the darkness of the night, looking down at the world below. It's best for me to fly at night so the humans don't see me. As a phoenix, I'm rather large and would be noticed immediately. I could walk to the palace or drive, but I prefer to fly. My bird, Shadow, is good at blending in when we fly. He's pure black with red eyes. The fire demon Surtur killed us when I tried to defend my family from his rage. When I rose from the ashes, I was alone. It's not easy to kill a demon, especially one like Surtur. He had wanted my family to work for him, but we refused; we don't do evil deeds. We just want to live in peace. I see the palace ahead as Shadow lands in the forest and shifts. Being a phoenix, I'm not like
Maelani's P.O.V.Is it possible that the handsome man in front of me is my mate? I feel drawn to him. I hear what Davina sings about him being a phoenix. The look on his face makes me freeze. Is he angry at me? I take a couple of steps back in fear."I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?" I ask Darian quietly. His face softens, but I'm still scared. "Can we talk outside?" He asks. His voice makes my insides quiver, but I should prepare myself for rejection. I turn and walk out of the dining hall. When I hear Davina yell after us, I can't help smiling."If you hurt her, I'll bury your phoenix ass so far under the ashes you won't be able to rise again." She sounds serious even as she begins to giggle. When we get away from everyone's prying eyes, I turn to Darian with my arms crossed. If he's my mate, I'm sure he doesn't want to be mated to a demon. Honestly, who would?"Are you my mate?" I ask him, looking into his gorgeous blue eyes.
