The conversation didn’t go well, not that I expected it too.
“Listen, Lyssa,” Callum said. “We’re demons. We’re not… We’re not good people. I know this will be hard to hear, but since you asked, we might as well put all the cards on the table.
“There’s a reason why you’re at this school, and I don’t believe for a second that it’s just because you’re related to some random Dominican Inquisitor. You might not know this, but Mephistopheles was always paying a lot of attention to you, before you even arrived.”
Mephistopheles twitched when he was mentioned, but he said nothing. Callum continued to speak. “As the princes of the school, we always had a little more information on what he was doing, so I knew there had to be something special about you, something dangerous. That’s why I came to meet with you on your first day, when you ran into Gemma. And I felt something then… Something dark and powerful.”
So they didn’t know about my contract with Lucifer, but they had suspected. The dean, on the other hand, had been aware. I could see it in the flickers in his crimson eyes.
Mephistopheles had the excuse of his promises to Lucifer, but Stefan, Callum, and Mikael didn’t. In fact, they didn’t provide any excuse at all. They just gave me the answers I’d been looking for.
“We considered you a threat,” Mikael explained. “You remember, don’t you? The purpose of this school is to pick the next Satan, and you’re powerful. No one here ever actually believed that you were a valid candidate, which was why they didn’t pay much attention to you until your seizures. But we knew better. We knew you had power that could be a threat to us.”
I swallowed around the sudden knot in my throat. Nothing he was saying came as a real surprise, and I’d already known their intentions for my fate hadn’t been the best, but still, it was hard to hear.
They’d treated me so strangely before the whole thing with Shiro. At first, they’d seemed to dislike me so much, but then, they’d suddenly decided they couldn’t be without me. They’d even fought over me, which was something I’d never completely understood.
It made so much sense now. “You wanted to seduce me, break my heart, and chase me away from the school that way. But after my seizures started, you thought it wasn’t necessary anymore, so you stopped. Except I still refused to leave.”
They didn’t deny it, and I was grateful for it, because that would’ve just been an insult to my intelligence and to the bond I’d felt we shared. It was just as well that our conversation wasn’t over, and my grievances hadn’t come close to being addressed. “What about the rest of it? What about Shiro and my parents?”
“I don’t know what happened, Lyssa. At one point…” Stefan took a deep breath, obviously struggling with expressing himself. “At one point, we started to care about you. But by the time we realized it, it was too late.
