Chapter eighteen
âWhere is she?â
Itâs taken every ounce of self-control to not kill Kas, or send her to the pit to be tortured.
âSheâs safe, as if you didnât know,â Kas replies indignantly. Of course, I know, sheâs at a beach property that Kas ownsâillegallyâon Earth.
âShe needs to come back to Hell!â
Kas rolls her eyes and stands up. Itâs the first time Iâve seen a look of distaste in her eyes.
âHow can someone live for so long and be so fucking stupid?â My anger flairs, and in a flash, Iâm on my feet towering over her as I look down at her.
âYou need to watch your next words.â
âYou told her nothing, Lucifer. Not about the dagger or her past life, and you expect what? Complete devotion to you? Then her sister dies, her twin fucking sister. At the hands of Beelzebub of all fucking demons, and you donât offer her comfort or understanding. Instead, you decide to save face and send her to the fucking pit in front of everyone.â
I swallow thickly and hearing it said out loud so coldly is worse than when I think about it. I had to act fast; Lilith was about to do something that couldnât be undone. âBeelzebub is taken care of.â
She glares at me. âOh, is he?â
âHeâs on soul collection duty.â
âOh, what a great punishment to avenge the woman you âsupposedlyâ love.â The sarcasm is thick in her tone, and I feel like I canât win, that nothing I do in regards to Lilith is ever right. Why canât I get anything right lately?
âWhat am I supposed to do? I have to keep her safe! If the angels know about her, if demons know about her, if they see any favoritism towards her, then she could be taken away again.â Even if Lilith never accepts me, the least I can do is make sure sheâs safe. Being tied to me shouldnât hinder her safety. I want everything for her, even if it isnât me.
Some of the anger fades from Kas as she looks at me. âThen maybe the best thing you can do is let her be on Earth for now.â
âWhat?â
âYou want her to be safe? The safest place for her is away from you as you just made very clear.â
I shake my head in complete disagreement, and Kas scoffs. I both want her safe, and to be somewhere I can always keep an eye on her. I am, at my core, still extremely selfish.
âSheâs not okay.â My heart sinks, and I deflate, sitting back down in my chair. âShe needs to find herself, Lucifer. She barely got to live before she died, and sheâs just supposed to know how to fit into an ancient political structure? Your expectations are too high. She wasnât even out of college; she killed her last boyfriend for fuckâs sake, and you want an eternity-long relationship with her?â
âShe belongs here.â I know I sound like a petulant child, and Kas shows her surprise with an arch of an eyebrow.
âIâm not saying she doesnât belong here.
