***

Madison woke in a cold sweat. Her thigh stung, and the smell of sulfur clung in her nostrils. Quickly, she scanned the room. Nix and Amos both slept undisturbed. Maybe Amos went half-demonic in his sleep and it woke her. The idea wasn’t refreshing, but at least it wouldn’t indicate the presence of a demonic visitor. The terror that Micah would reappear at any moment festered like an alien entity in her soul.

With a shaky hand, she touched her thigh. It burned like mad.

Shivering, she climbed out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. She shut the door and flipped the light switch. Sitting on the toilet, she bent her leg to look at her thigh. A scratch spelled out W-I-F-E. She blanched and her heartbeat went from 60 to 150—or felt like it—in a second flat, and her stomach heaved viciously. Yanking the toilet seat up, she vomited until she dry heaved. Silent tears streamed unchecked down her cheeks, and she shook all over as she sat on the toilet lid.

Visible proof Micah still existed, not that she’d ever really believed him gone. Even more proof his evil intentions were far from over. She hoped she would have time to prepare Amos for the fight.

Oh, God, please give me time, she prayed, sobbing into her hands. She wanted to punch something, to scream at the injustice of the world. What about her caused Micah to single her out? Because she’d been young and impressionable? Girls like that were everywhere. Maybe because she wanted to escape her father? A ton of girls shared her situation. Or maybe she’d been easily maneuverable, and, best of all, malleable? Mostly, she contained the right genetic material. Oh, and she couldn’t forget the pact he’d made with her mother.

She rubbed her eyes. Mother had been in on everything!

The first time she laid eyes on Micah, in church on Christmas morning, she’d been fifteen and had known he would haunt her. If she’d known how much, she might’ve run away that very day. Anything to escape the future nightmare she now lived in.

Her confusing attraction to him had caused her to bolt that morning. Her mother walked up to him, placed her hand on his shoulder, and spoke to him. Dear God, he was there to check me out. To see if I’d grown into all he hoped for.

Madison’s stomach churned over the total management of her life. Her mother probably lived somewhere, enjoying her demonic, succubus life, leaving her daughter to fight the manipulation of a King.

She couldn’t deny Micah had given her all the things her heart desired. He’d spoiled her with a nice house, cars, clothes, jewelry, and money still fattening her bank account. She loved him, worshipped him, doted on him, and would have walked straight into Hell with him if he’d stayed with her.

All the time, his plan had been to corrupt her soul.

The reality made her sob harder, and her stomach pitched again. Only his leaving turned her into a woman with a backbone.
