Chapter 11: Lesson learned
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My arms ache from carrying heavy grocery bags up the stairs. I groan loudly at the weight of the bags weighing me down. Unfortunately, the elevator is getting a maintenance check before Sahara gets here.
After what happened this morning with Azazel, I made the decision to write it off as a lesson learned. If I've learned anything from my mother’s experience with John Dawson, it's not to let a man have complete power over you. She did, and look where she is now. He marries young, rich women and keeps my mother as his maid. That's not the kind of life I want for myself.
Bree meets me at the door and reaches for a few bags. “Holy cow. How much food did you buy?” She asks sardonically as she lays it on the kitchen counter.

Chapter 13: Pride is all I haveZoe Bree and I ready ourselves to go to work in a couple of hours. After Sahara and Marina had left, Bree left soon after, leaving me to my thoughts. I roll on some lip gloss as I try not to dread the thought of seeing Azazel again. Every time the thought occurs, my body washes in shame. How could I have been so stupid? I think for the nth time. The bus ride to the club is too short. Everyone is preparing for the night’s events as soon as I get there. Christoph is talking to the club staff, and a few of the waitresses are cleaning tables. Thankfully, none of the gladiators are there yet. They usually don’t come until late into the night. I head towards the locker room and find another short, sheer, toga dress waiting for me. This one is blue with a gold pendant on

Azazel I don’t know what to do at this point. One thing I do know is that I came in my pants like a bloody green schoolboy after having an intense make-out session with this woman. That has definitely never happened to me. No woman has ever made me feel such intense emotion. I can’t think when I’m around her, and I tend to bugger things up. I look towards her stiff form and resist the urge to groan at the memory of how delicious her skin and her luscious lips taste. I was honestly trying to calm her down before she hurt herself. However, a part of me feels hurt by her rejection. Call it unreasonable, but I wanted her to accept me for what I am. Of course, we just had that heated sexual encounter, so it must not have been that big a deterrent. I have to bite the inside of my mo
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 15: It’s a bittersweet feeling to know
Zoe “Who are you?” I ask the good-looking dark man standing before me. Something about the way he gazes at me makes my skin crawl. It feels like he could see deep inside my soul. It’s a wet and dreary night out. I was just walking home from working at the fabric factory when I ran into this man. My best girl, Clara, and I planned on visiting the new speakeasy in town. Apparently, the proprietor is very handsome. The man steps in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. This is not the first time I’ve seen him, though. I saw him several days ago when I was at the juice joint near Lexington. He was drinking hooch and talking to that Milquetoast Lenny. My friend Clara spotted him right away. The gent is quite handsome if you can overlook his sinister appearance. He has pitch black hair and dark as sin eyes. He’s tall with pale skin and a toned body u
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 16: Doubts in my head
Azazel I can’t believe that the woman I’m meant to be with bloody crept away from my room this morning. I woke up hours ago to find my bed empty. I guess I didn’t expect her to run away from me after making love this morning. I rolled over in my bed feeling hard and needy for her and nearly ripped the room apart when I noticed she wasn’t there. I don’t know how to feel about her departure. Something inside me feels dejected at her easy dismissal of our encounter. Needless to say, my demon was extremely upset over our mate’s conduct. I cannot believe that I slept so soundly that I did not hear her leave. I am at a loss. I have to presume that the reason why I did not wake is that, for the first time in my immortal existence, I let my guard down. All of these centuri
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 17: My body remembers
Zoe I straighten my dress as I step out of the locker room and leave Azazel behind. My body is still quaking from the encounter. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath and walk back to the bar. Two of the waitresses that I was speaking to earlier spot me as soon as I reach the bar. Kat, a brash redhead with a mane of wild red hair and a bust that is too large to be real, raises her eyebrows with an inquiring look. “So…” She says with a snicker. “…you and that really hot gladiator, Azazel. Do tell?” The other girl, Sadie, moves closer with an interested smile. I roll my eyes and look around nervously, then shake my head. “It’s…complicated,” I answer with a grimace. She clucks her tongue and wags her index finger near my face. “No, honey. We want to know everything. And with the way he carried you out of here, I’m sure
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 18: One problem at a time
Azazel My lady can sing. That was the first thought I had when I saw her step onto the stage. She looked incredible in her fitted dress. I’ve never seen such a beautiful sight. And her voice. There is no way to describe how beautiful she sounded. Unfortunately, it also answered my question of who the siphon was. To any other human, she looked normal. However, any supernatural being who saw her would see her glowing skin and radiant neon blue eyes. My mate is a Siren. And she's in trouble. Fallon, Mikhail, and I gasp in shock when her body begins to vibrate. I watch in horror as dark waves glow around her body like a malignant halo, and her eyes dim like black obsidian pools. I can tell that she's not in control of herself anymore. Tears are running down her face, and her arms were quaking.

Chapter 19: Things just get weirder and weirderZoe I can’t believe what I’m hearing. My life has taken so many turns, but I never expected it to get this bizarre. I feel like Alice down the rabbit hole. There’s no other explanation, though. It’s beyond coincidental that I’ve seen this man before. He’s the man from my nightmares. The one who has killed me. I struggle in his arms, feeling some kind of electricity vibrating around us. My stomach flips as I become weightless. I feel like when I used to ride the Splash Mountain ride at Disney. I remember the excitement of going up the mountain and the way my body would float before it would plunge down. That’s how I feel right now, weightless. My eyes burn as a sharp beam of light burns through my retinas. My h

Chapter 20: Sometimes, making the right choice is not easyAzazel We’ve all departed from hell and are now standing in my temporary living area as reluctant allies. Fallon and I are standing side by side with our arms crossed expectantly. And Zoe is sitting huddled on my couch with her arms wrapped around her chest protectively. Lucifer, that arrogant arsehole, is leaning casually on the mantle of my marble fireplace. The bastard looks around bored as if he has not a care in the world. I had never felt such a surge of hatred as I do this moment. I want to rip his bloody wings into ribbons and watch him bleed until I’m satisfied. Fallon clears his throat and uncrosses his arms. “Shall we begin then?” Zoe flinches but remains where she is. Fallon looks over at me expectan

Azazel and I threw a party at Garden of Eden commemorating our new living arrangements and my mating mark. It’s been weeks since we defeated Marael and Sahara and escaped hell. Once everything was settled, I moved into Azazel’s flat. Azazel also gave Bree and Lana an apartment a few floors down from ours─rent free. As soon as I was reassured that my mom and everyone else was fine, we spoke to Mathias. Mathias was a little peeved that we gave the amulet away but relieved to know that Marael and Sahara were dead.

Azazel Ding dong, the witch, is dead. I can believe Marael is finally dead. After Zoe had recited the spell, we were transported back to my flat; Lana and Lucifer showed up as soon as we appeared. “What the bloody hell did you do in hell today? The whole bloody place was falling apart.” Lana rolls her eyes and pushes him teasingly in the arm. “Oh, quit being such a drama queen, Lucifer. The whole place didn’t fall apart; only the mountain Sahara took us to did. And I say good riddance to that place.” Zoe wraps her arms around Lana with a soft cry. “She had my mom! Marael had my mom, and now that she&rsquo
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 31: In the middle of it
ZoeI blink my eyes and look around groggily. The sound of my ringing phone woke me up from my dreamless sleep. Azazel sits up with an annoyed grunt. “What the bloody hell?” He growls out in irritation. I watch as he rises from the bed, completely naked, and reaches for my phone with a scowl. My throat constricts at the amazing sight of his tight ass, ridged back and firm thighs. His golden body is perfect. He looks like a Greek statue. His tattoo wings stand out in contrast to his honey skin and golden hair. He’s magnificent, and he’s all mine.Covering my nakedness with the sheet, I sit up from the bed with a scowl. “Who is it?” I mutter firmly when he grimaces at the screen. He turns to me with a cocky smile. “I believe it’s your mother.”I furrow my brow in confusion. “That’s not possible. My mom never calls me.” Azazel shrugs and hands me the phone. “Then you better

AzazelIt isn’t until the next evening that Zoe and I meet with Mathias and Creighton. After coming back from the hell dimension, Zoe and I took a shower and fell into a deep sleep. We were both too emotionally exhausted to even turn off the lights.Hand in hand, we both marched quietly to the Cal State library. I don't waste time greeting anyone at that point. “Did either of you find any information on the amulet?” I ask as I lead Zoe inside the room.Creighton nods and gestures towards his table. “Yes, in fact, we did, and it's good news.” Zoe and I give each other hopeful looks as we approach the table. Just then, Amara and Kell show up. Zoe's face lights up with delight.“Amara!” Zoe cries out with relief. Both women embrace, excited to see each other. “Zoe, I'm so glad to see you. I was so scared of leaving you inside that horrible place.” Amara cries out with regret.Zo
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 29: The calm before the storm
Chapter 29: The calm before the stormZoeI don’t think I’ve ever had such an odd conversation as I did today. Once I was done explaining to my friends Mathias and Azazel’s roles in this, we sat there and questioned Fallon and Lucifer about the supernatural world. Lucifer wasn’t much help, though. Every time we’d ask him a question, he’d grumble and tell us that he’s bored. However, I can’t help but notice the long looks he gives Lana when he thinks no one is looking. The look is a mixture of longing and frustration. I know that I have to tell Lana about Lucifer, but I have no clue how to approach the topic without freaking her out.I startle when Azazel comes up behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and kisses my temple. “I just spoke to Mathias and let him know that we were able to extract all of you from hell. I'm going to assume that Marael probably knows we escaped the dimension since she's co

Chapter 28: Oh, what a tangled web we weaveAzazelI take a relieved breath as we move on to a safer topic. Talking about Lana will only lead to more questions, and I don’t want Lucifer to make the connection between Lana and the Erue. That would be dangerous ground to tread on, and my Zoe would be right in the middle of it.I caress across my lips with my thumb in consternation as I consider what our next steps are. Looking down at Zoe, I ask. “I say let’s begin with what happened in the hellish dimension after you disappeared. Perhaps it might shine a light on what we need to do next. Did you see or hear anything while you were there? Anything Sahara might have let slip in her rage?”Zoe’s brow knits with concentration. “Well, when we were back at the cavern, she kept harping on about an Amulet. She said that Marael stole it from her.”Lucifer shrugs. “Did she say what kind of amulet?”
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 27: When it rains, it pours
Zoe Can things get any worse? I think in my head as I watch my best friend fall apart in front of me. Gazing at Azazel, I can see that he has a similar thought. Bree leans her head on my shoulder for comfort as she processes her new reality. There are so many obstacles in our way, and everything looks bleak. Azazel takes a seat in front of me and takes my hand in his. “We’ll get through this, luv. Nothing will get in our way now that I’ve found you.” He growls huskily. I’m about to respond when a cocky male voice echoes across the room. “What the bloody hell just happened? And why was I lying unconscious next to a Seraphim?”
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 26: Out of the frying pan…
Azazel A sigh of relief escapes my lips as soon as we appear inside my temporary home. Unfortunately, my relief is short-lived when Lana slumps onto the floor with a painful cry, her hands covering her ears. Lucifer lets out a roar and falls next to her with a mournful cry. Everyone rushes towards their writhing forms, surprised and horrified by their excruciating cries. However, before we can even touch them, Lucifer changes into his devilish form, covers Lana’s squirming form with his and snarls in a warning. Everyone flinches back in shock. “What the hell is going on?” Bree calls out in terror as she tries to reach for her sister. However, she stops when Lucifer lets out a horrifying roar
Demon: Supernatural Bad Boys V Chapter 25: Into the Fire
ZoeI blink my eyes as the door closes behind me. All I see is complete darkness. However, my sense of smell is perfectly fine. A cough escapes my lips when the scent of ash and smoke permeate my senses. My eyes burn and itch painfully, and my throat is dry. “Hello,” I whisper softly. Who knows what's hiding in the darkness. “Bree... Lana...” I call out again. But there's no response. All I hear is the echo of my own voice. Taking a few steps, I extend my hand in front of me and start walking. It's a bit unnerving because it's so dark. Then I remember something Azazel said about supernatural eyes. He said that Supernaturals could see better than humans. So I close my eye tightly, willing them to change like they did last night when I saw the corrupt power surrounding my apartment—then I open them again. Unfortunately, nothing happens. I don't see a thing.I try a few times as I take a few cautious steps but get no results. Sighing in frust
