Chapter Twenty-Four

Elias contemplated the immortal across the room. Zennyo Ryuo could not be trusted, regardless of what his goody-two-shoes sister-in-law believed. Goddamn, Madison was naïve. Drove him nuts. Her gullibility should’ve made her malleable for the Kings’ common goal. In theory, that should be true. Hell’s newest royalty had proven once too often she wasn’t as acquiescent as any of them preferred. To make matters worse, he speculated Micah enjoyed her rebellion.

The initial plan of action had been to eliminate her if she failed to work out—like they had the other Genesis children. Then his twin had covenanted his life with hers and fucked up their kingly plans. That deception had infuriated even Lucifer, but then he’d grown mysteriously quiet on the entire project and displayed unconventional patience for a King. That virtue frustrated him almost as much as Madison’s unwillingness to join their cause. His other sibling, Raguel, grew irritated by the delay. Elias couldn’t blame him, since he was just as agitated.

Not that Madison could avoid becoming the Queen of Hell. The status came to her the moment Micah claimed her at fifteen. She’d fully anchored herself to Hell—thank fucking Hell for that small victory.

The prudish princess had responded to his brother at the party today. There, for a second, he’d thought his twin would bang her in the magical mud pit.

A sudden, unexpected shiver scuttled down his spine and gooseflesh puckered his skin. Suspicious of any physical reaction, especially when it pinged his supernatural radar, he rose from his seat and plucked the curtain aside. As he peered out the windows into the darkness, nothing noticeable skulked about, but kin of some sort prowled near. If the killer came for his family now, they were disorganized, too unprepared for an attack. Sure, they had a few safeguards in motion, but the immortal refused to lower the Locks, which endangered them all by keeping them trapped in one area. Easy pickings for a troop of warriors.

Hopefully, it’s nothing more significant than the dragons.

“I sense something.” Petra moved from a chair to sit on the edge of the bed beside his nephew, going into protective mode without any instruction. He’d always been fond of his niece, her instincts sharper than most demons.

“I’ll check it out with a cigarette.”

His hand had just touched the door when Zennyo Ryuo spoke. “I can go about unnoticed.”

“Funny thing, immortal. I don’t trust you to report accurately.”

“Your logic is unsound.” Zennyo Ryuo’s silver eyes pinned him in his spot. “If I wanted either of them dead, they’d already be dead.”

Trapped in the Locks and unable to escape danger might as well be a death sentence for his family. The immortal claimed the Angel Lock remained to hinder their ability to transport Madison and Amos without his permission. The King called bull-fucking-shit, because if he wanted someone dead, he wouldn’t allow the Locks to drop either, if he already had them trapped. His best guess, they were Zennyo Ryuo’s fail-safe plan to ambush his family with an early demise.
