Chapter eighteen

“Where is she?”

It’s taken every ounce of self-control to not kill Kas, or send her to the pit to be tortured.

“She’s safe, as if you didn’t know,” Kas replies indignantly. Of course, I know, she’s at a beach property that Kas owns—illegally—on Earth.

“She needs to come back to Hell!”

Kas rolls her eyes and stands up. It’s the first time I’ve seen a look of distaste in her eyes.

“How can someone live for so long and be so fucking stupid?” My anger flairs, and in a flash, I’m on my feet towering over her as I look down at her.

“You need to watch your next words.”

“You told her nothing, Lucifer. Not about the dagger or her past life, and you expect what? Complete devotion to you? Then her sister dies, her twin fucking sister. At the hands of Beelzebub of all fucking demons, and you don’t offer her comfort or understanding. Instead, you decide to save face and send her to the fucking pit in front of everyone.”

I swallow thickly and hearing it said out loud so coldly is worse than when I think about it. I had to act fast; Lilith was about to do something that couldn’t be undone. “Beelzebub is taken care of.”

She glares at me. “Oh, is he?”

“He’s on soul collection duty.”

“Oh, what a great punishment to avenge the woman you ‘supposedly’ love.” The sarcasm is thick in her tone, and I feel like I can’t win, that nothing I do in regards to Lilith is ever right. Why can’t I get anything right lately?

“What am I supposed to do? I have to keep her safe! If the angels know about her, if demons know about her, if they see any favoritism towards her, then she could be taken away again.” Even if Lilith never accepts me, the least I can do is make sure she’s safe. Being tied to me shouldn’t hinder her safety. I want everything for her, even if it isn’t me.

Some of the anger fades from Kas as she looks at me. “Then maybe the best thing you can do is let her be on Earth for now.”

“What?”

“You want her to be safe? The safest place for her is away from you as you just made very clear.”

I shake my head in complete disagreement, and Kas scoffs. I both want her safe, and to be somewhere I can always keep an eye on her. I am, at my core, still extremely selfish.

“She’s not okay.” My heart sinks, and I deflate, sitting back down in my chair. “She needs to find herself, Lucifer. She barely got to live before she died, and she’s just supposed to know how to fit into an ancient political structure? Your expectations are too high. She wasn’t even out of college; she killed her last boyfriend for fuck’s sake, and you want an eternity-long relationship with her?”

“She belongs here.” I know I sound like a petulant child, and Kas shows her surprise with an arch of an eyebrow.

“I’m not saying she doesn’t belong here.
