CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

PAIGE

“I’m sorry, what?” I mean, I knew there was a connection with Azrael, but I didn’t realize Virginia was his mother. And my mate? I had four already. Four. What was strange was how I couldn’t sense any unease from Thorn or Alex. They showed me nothing through the link, even though it was open. However, Asher was wary, and Nate pressed closer and growled low in concern.

“You. Are. Our. Son’s. Mate,” Lucifer said slowly and with sign language.

I wanted to punch him. Even more, I wanted to look at Azrael, but suddenly, I felt shy. Was this some type of arranged marriage? Were they for real? This was why they were supporting me, so they could get rid of their son? Were they mean parents? Of course they were mean, well, Satan was, because he’d cut his own son up… although there wasn’t a mark on Azrael in the end.

“It’s very amusing watching her as she thinks,” Lucifer commented.

“True, so many emotions cross over her features. Right now, she’s back to confusion.”

“What was the screwed-up face one?” Lucifer asked.

“She was probably worried about everyone’s sanity,” Virginia answered.

Running a hand down my face, I suddenly stood and started pacing in front of my couch. Only that got me closer to Azrael. My eyes widened. I looked away, so I didn’t get lost in his eyes, and backed up, tripping over Asher’s feet. Quickly, I jumped up, ignoring my face heating.

I pointed to a chuckling Lucifer. “You… he… this isn’t…. I mean, you can’t just offer up your son to me.” I threw out my hand Azrael’s way. “He looks like a nice guy, and he… ah, helped with your concubine trying to hurt me. Still… I have four bonded males already.”

“Are you saying you don’t feel the connection between you both?” Lucifer asked, now frowning.

I didn’t want to admit it in front of my men. Yet, it was ridiculous to deny it since I attacked the devil himself trying to protect Azrael.

Biting my bottom lip, I nodded.

“So you do feel it?” Lucifer questioned again. I was sure it was to annoy me.

Glaring at him, I said, “Nodding does mean yes.”

“Let me tell you a story then,” he replied, ignoring my snark. In fact, he’d been very lenient with me. Was it because Azrael was their son and them thinking he was my mate?

I dipped my brows in confusion. “Story time now?”

“There’s always time for story time. However, this is important right now.” I nodded. He relaxed further into the couch while I took my seat back and didn’t look at their son. “It started on a cold, dreary night—”

“Are you serious right now?” I demanded. His jaw clenched in reaction. “Is this an actual real story or something made up?”

“It’s real. I’m just setting the mood.”

I rolled my eyes. Who’d have thought the devil was a narrator? I thinned my lips and bit down on them when he started again with “It was a cold, dreary night in New York City.
