Lady of Hell & Fury

I GAWKED OPENLY, NOT EVEN bothering to hide my befuddlement. “You’re joking…”

Uncomfortable, I silently pined for my spikey bat of punishment, desperate for its comforting touch. It was the only thing that rooted me to reality and helped me brave the worst shit in my life. It was there for the massacre, for Aidan’s untimely demise, for any time life was an absolute shit show, and now I fucking needed it for this whole new can of worms.

No. I called BS. It wasn’t possible. The demon had to be playing some sort of game on me. This had to be a joke. There was literally no reason to be in love with me. Half the time I was a prickly bitch with a penchant for dark sarcasm, and the other half I was lost to Pleasure Central and hardly a great conversationalist.

If this wasn’t a joke, then Nova was even more shamelessly deluded than what I first believed. Because in no way, shape, or form did love make any sense here. And love had to make sense.

Right?

As if expecting my response, Nova gave way to his most self-deprecating smile yet. “I’m afraid not. I wouldn’t dare joke with a lady.”

“Ha…ha…” I slow-laughed, cogs in my head failing to turn on this little illusion confessional. “You, Nova, the dude who just told me I was the sister of the woman who literally destroyed his life, are in love with me?”

Nova didn’t say anything for a minute, and I held my breath, not sure what to expect. But then a resonating boom took hold of the world around us, and the demon’s eyes lifted to the flashing lights above. After a half second, they returned, entirely red and glowing.

“Like I said, a curse,” was his only reply before the world blinked and I was in the same seat I’d been before Nova dragged me into the illusion. The beautiful man offered me one last fleeting glance and disappeared into his office.

Like an asshole, I just watched him go. It wasn’t until Reese cleared her throat did I snap out of the stupor Nova’s confession put me into.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” she remarked sarcastically, but when I jerked my eyes over to her, the blue-haired demon lost her smile. “Wow, okay. Are you—”

I stood up and marched right over to Nova’s office, bat gripped tightly in my hand. But when I threw the door open, ready to lay into him and get some real answers, he wasn’t anywhere in the room.

Reese was behind me, peering into the space. “I don’t know what you two got up to, but I’d give him a minute. He likes to do this disappearing act when things get to him. We’re just like you blobs of meat and bones in that regard—prone to mini tantrums and emotional episodes.”

Turning my head towards her, I smirked. “Anyone ever tell you that you’re nosy as fuck?”

Reese didn’t miss a beat. “Oh yeah, plenty. I just don’t give enough fucks to bother doing anything about it.
