"You guys are fucking weird and insane," Levi whispered once we were finished.
"Really? You feed by consuming knowledge; she needs to get hurt badly for the pain of hunger to go away. You think she wants to do it like this?"
Gremory looked away at my words and stared at the rocky wall. I put my arm around her and caressed the broken skin with my fingers. I really hated it when I had no idea what she was thinking about, but this wasn’t the moment to ask.
"Hey, what’s wrong? We need to kill the queen and get up there. Earth won’t wait for us."
"As if I care," she murmured. "I don’t ever want to go back there. There are too many shitty memories for me even to want to point in that direction."
"So, what are you saying? We should up and leave?"
"Exactly. Who needs this shitty planet, and why bother with the Queen?"
"Why? Because I said so! We need the ore and materials to upgrade the ships!"
I tried to pull her around, but she wouldn’t let me. Very well then, if she wanted to be like that, then I’d let her. This was the perfect chance to send these two back to base and out of way’s harm. I’d handle this queen myself.
"Can we--"
"No. We can’t. You’re both dismissed. Go back to base and await your orders there. I can’t concentrate on the battle ahead, having someone talk back to me or disregard my orders."
I could feel Gremory shift her weight from foot to foot, but she remained quiet.
"But I didn’t do anything to--"
"Come on, he’s given us an order," Gremory said, breaking her off.
I felt my heart break, but I couldn’t do this anymore, not like this. I loved women with not just my heart, but with my soul, and getting hurt wasn’t on the menu, not anymore. I was the alpha now, not the beta. If she didn’t want me, there’s Kris who is a much less complicated person and actually follows orders without question.
Gremory’s wings unfurled as she whispered something, but I couldn’t distinguish what it was. Whatever, I thought. If it was that important, she could have said it to me, no? I was sick of it all now that I finally had a semblance of control over my life. Nothing was going to change that.
"Have you finally come to terms with who we are? We are the devil! Stop humiliating me and let me do what I do best!"
I remained silent, and so did Khepri. She and I both knew he was right, or at least partially. But having it shoved down your throat like that, pardon the pun, was a bit more than I was willing to take.
"Conqueror? Will we attack?" Orange asked after I stood there in silence for a while. I shook myself awake and turned to the big guy.
"Yes, Orange, we will. Give me a moment to transform, and I’m all ready." For some strange reason, I didn’t even care about my memories anymore.
