While Nate, Ezra, and Asher rested, Alex insisted he was fine and suggested I make a call to my family. Of course I took him up on it. Seeing Yasmin glowing as she sat with Eric and Sakura standing behind them like she was their guard, helped ease more tension I didn’t realize I’d been carrying. Then again, of course I was worried about my family, but they reassured me everything was fine back home.

A few hours later, I was sitting in a living room off the bedroom we’d been supplied when the door opened and Xi walked in. At least he didn’t break the door.

“How did it go, Xi?” I asked as Thorn handed me a bowl of meat he’d had Alex transport him home for. It was then Asher had ordered Alex to have a rest. “Thank you.” I smiled up at Thorn, which he returned.

“They are all dead,” Xi announced plainly, almost as if he was bored.

“Uh, thank you,” I offered. Though, I wasn’t sure thanking someone for killing people was good.

He hummed under his breath and said no more.

“Xi, did you find out any new information?”

His jaw clenched. “No.”

Ah, he was pissed off. Killing them for nothing had bored him. I would hate to think what he did for fun in Hell.

“Xi, have something to eat and sit down,” Ezra said from where he sat between my legs. “I’m sure we’ll speak with Cedrick soon, and he’ll let us know what’s going on.”

“Then we can leave?” Xi questioned. I was sure the heebie-jeebies wasn’t the only thing Xi wanted to get away from. There was something going on with him.

“We’ve been here one night, Xi. We were planning to spend two nights here anyway,” Asher said. He stood by the wall reading some type of papers, and Nate stood with him with his own handful of papers. They looked important, but I knew if I needed to know anything about something, they would tell me, or I’d kick their ass if I found something out too late.

“It’s been two nights. It’s past midnight.”

I waved my hand around, not bothering to answer. If he didn’t understand I wouldn’t leave without seeing and knowing Cedrick was okay, then he’d figure it out, or he’d just have to learn to be patient.

Before I could even blink, Xi had a sword drawn. His arm extended to the right, the tip of the blade touching Cedrick’s neck.

“Xi,” I cried as I leaped over Ezra in a panicked frenzy. However, Xi was already withdrawing his sword.

“Be careful where you pop in without notice,” Xi warned, then walked over to the opposite wall to Asher and Nate to lean against it. He took a rag out of what I guessed was his back pocket and started cleaning a sword.

Was Lucifer actually punishing me? Did he really think I was too moody for his son so he sent Xi to drive me insane? I believed it could work in the end.

“Are you okay?” I asked, reaching out to place my hand on Cedrick’s arm.
