Melantha's P.O.V.I can't believe Maelani left to be with Davina. Now I'm all alone down here. Dad said she found her mate, and he's a raven phoenix. I know she never felt comfortable here, but I didn't think she would leave. I wonder what it would be like to have a mate. We don't usually have mates in the underworld because, according to Dad, they make us weak.I roll over onto my stomach on my bed and sigh. Maelani and I are different from our other siblings. Their mothers are either demons or from the underworld, whereas our mom is human; she was brought down here by Dad. Now, he considers us the weakest of all his children because we're part human. Mom is barely functioning, and Dad doesn't care. He's too busy with his young whores. He has a control over us that's hard to get out from under. I don't know how my sister did it, but I would like to be free as well. Everyone thinks I do what Dad says, but that's only for survival. I know that when I sto

Asmodeus's P.O.V.I'm waiting anxiously for Melantha and Dion to return with Maelani and her mate. I refuse to allow any of my children to disrespect me so blatantly. I will make an example out of them so if any more of my children get any bright ideas, they'll think twice. I'm impatient, so I go to the room to view the cameras and look at the footage from the one facing the portal. There's no one there. I thought Dion was going to wait for them. 'I rewind the footage until I see him and Melantha approach the portal. I'm relieved until I see them share a kiss. What's this about? Then, as I watch in horror, they hold hands and jump in the portal together. What the fuck is going on around here? Everyone is betraying me. They will die; they will all die. I push my panic alarm, and all my hounds come running. Well, all except my head hound, that bastard betrayed me."We're going through the portal. It's time to attack." I yell at them. They look at

Surtur's P.O.V. I can't believe that idiot thought he could go after Davina and the others with guns blazing but with no plan. Well, that's one nuisance out of the way. Asmodeus wasn't even worthy to be down here, in my opinion. He was too caught up in all his women. I understand he was the demon of lust, but there is more to life than sex. One of my hounds was spying on him, and he saw the entire fight. Even I almost laughed when he said Davina made Asmodeus and his hounds do the Macarena. That fool was probably madder than hell. He didn't have a firm grip on anything, it seems. Two of his daughters and his head hound turned their backs on him and chose another life. That would never happen to me. The people around me know if there was any type of insubordination, they would be dead. I look at the demons in front of me who have agreed to go against Satan and take over the Earth. It is time that w

Rmina's P.O.V.While the others are going through the palace looking for any more spies, Trevor and I are working on a special project. Even though Asmodeus is dead, the spell on Davina is still in place. I need to find a way to remove it. I feel bad now that she's explained why she always picks on me. It has to be hard on her knowing she can't get pregnant when she wants a child so badly. "Any luck?" Trevor asks, putting his arms around me from behind. "Not yet, but I think I'm getting closer," I answer as he kisses my cheek. Most people see him as nothing more than a warrior, but I know the truth. Trevor has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. He doesn't always know how to show it because, let's face it, Gabe and Cressida weren't exactly good role models. His hands slide down to my belly to cover my small bump where our son is growing. "I can't wait until he's here," Trevor says against my ear. "Me neither. I know he's a pup, but

Davina's P.O.V. After Karl gave his sample to Rmina. We got him, and Jill settled into a guest room. Rmina kicked me out of her bedroom when I kept asking her how much longer it would be, so now I'm pacing in the hallway. I could make myself tiny and get back in, but I don't want to make her mess up the potion. Jock is leaning against the wall, watching me. This is our chance to have a baby, and we both feel anxious. When the door to Rmina and Trevor's bedroom opens, I stop. Rmina walks out with a smile, holding up a small glass bottle. "I made it into an oil. You need to rub it all over your body and let it soak in for an hour, and then you can take a shower. After that, you should be able to get pregnant." She hands me the small bottle and I wrap my arms around her. "Thank you. I love you, Rmina." She chuckles and hugs me back. "I love you too, you crazy fai
