This can’t happen. The guys are so fucking blinded by Katrina’s beauty and by the depth of her heart that they aren’t thinking straight.

But this is wrong.

We are beings of chaos, and what does chaos do? It destroys.

We can’t destroy Katrina. She’s too precious.

She nearly was destroyed before… A sick feeling churns in my stomach when I think about her accident and how close the world came to losing her.

Katrina did the right thing walking away. But I hear them all, pacing their rooms at night, languishing over her, devising plans, and buying goddamned puppies who steal and hide my shoes.

This isn’t some game. We aren’t simple men who can love Katrina and treat her right. We’re creations of Hell. We were born there; the chaos of that place pumps through our veins. Demons shouldn’t have Centers. Centers are a loophole God created in an attempt to quash us, a way to quell us.

We don’t follow God’s rules. But Centers can be human. God has turned many demon murders into his puppets by threatening their Center, which is why so many Centers are now killed the second they’re discovered—they’re too much of a liability.

That’s the job of a murder’s leader. Sense the Center and kill her in order to protect the murder.

A leader who can’t do that is a failure.

I heave out a deep, shuddering breath as my power amps up and vengeance makes my heart pound. I tell myself it’s no good to dwell on the past. I need to stay focused on the present.

When Van comes home and has a dreamy, dopey smile on his face as he passes through the kitchen…I know he’s worn her down.

That means it’s time.

I have to show Katrina what Hell is. I have to scare her so badly and scar her so deeply, that she’ll run away screaming and never come back again.

I wait until midnight, until I’m certain that each of those fuckers is asleep. Then I shed my human skin, embrace my demonic form, let my horns rise from my forehead, and feel the night air whispering over them. I unfurl my wings, the sharp claws at the tips stretching.

I stalk towards the front door. But a voice stops me.

“Where ya going? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I come? Are you going for a walk?” Jason leaps over the couch, his vapid eyes bright and excited.

Luckily, because he was changed by demon magic, Jason can understand demonic sign language. I lift my hands and say, No, you can’t come. But I have something very special for you. You get to sleep in my bed.

“Oh, your bed. Oh, that’s fun. Your bed is soft. Do you have brains in there?”

Not in there, but if you do a good job and hide under the covers and stay very quiet, then I’ll bring you back a brain, I tell the zombie-dog man.

His tongue pops out of his mouth as he nods in frantic acceptance of my terms. “K. Got it. Hide. Sleep. Quiet.” He
