And alloyed with that excessive fear that was beginning to overcome me, my doubts emerged.—Did Asmodeus decide to let me go... because he saw something in me? —I asked in a barely audible whisper.In the front seats, they shared a very serious look, but then Akhliss shrugged and Khaius looked out the window.—And do you have any idea what it could have been? —I insisted, and frowned when the silence of both of them made suspicion invade me—. Do I remind you of anyone?I knew that, according to Khaius, I bore a certain resemblance to his sister, although deep down I always believed that this was because the change obscured his human memories and he no longer remembered her well. Beyond that, he had no idea about anything.This time they shook their heads."You're not like anyone we've ever met," Akhliss replied in a somewhat surly tone.-But? —I ventured when I noticed how his expression twisted slightly."But..." she continued, "one of the things why Asmodeus is in the position he is

“I think we should take her to a hospital,” he said, and a pang of panic went through me."I-I'm fine," I mumbled softly. I don't want to go there."You have a broken rib," he replied, looking at me with some severity.I shook my head.—Please, I just want to sleep.Akhliss sighed wearily.-Leave her. “Let him do what he wants,” she told him. Khaius pursed his lips, but he nodded silently.My eyes widened when I got out of the car and we started moving through the garden, because it was only then that I noticed the way Akhliss was limping. I realized that his wound from Naamah's dagger was perhaps more serious than I had realized.Some barking, which I immediately recognized as Alexander's, was loud, alarmed and scandalous, and I feared it might wake Nat. But what the hell was he doing there? I took out the keys that Nat gave me a few days ago and opened the door very slowly. The puppy greeted me by moving around me like a desperate man and I couldn't help but smile at him, although t

I turned my attention from them to Akhliss. Alarm surged through me as my gaze traveled to his injured leg, which somehow seemed to still be open. That was not a normal thing; As far as I understood, they recovered from their injuries more quickly than we did.She noticed and shook her head nonchalantly.-I'll be fine, do not worry. She—she She smiled faintly—. She will heal."That dagger..." I muttered breathlessly. What the hell was she doing?"It's a special weapon," he explained lamely. Asmodeus gave it to Naamah so that she could defend herself much more easily. At the right point, he can kill a demon almost immediately.Right on point ... Maybe, if he had aimed better, Hythro would still be alive... Yeah, that wasn't exactly a good thing. But at least, if he were still alive, I wouldn't be a murderer right now. I closed my eyes again and bit my lower lip hard. Asmodeus was right. He was never going to be able to get that out of my head.Akhliss put a hand on my shoulder, shaking

I told him everything I went through, everything I saw, what they told me, what they did, what I did... I told him about Asmodeus, about his innate and natural cruelty, but at the same time about that strange magnetism that caused . And the irrational disgust that he caused me, even though I didn't know him at all.I only spent a couple of hours awake. I didn't know if it was because of the food, but tiredness overcame me in the middle of the day and I tried to sleep again. The pain in my stomach muscles was intolerable, as well as the pain in my skull and ribs. I hated feeling this weak, but I was sure all I needed was rest.Sleep, and know that he was okay. That he would return. It was the only thing he needed.~*~*~*~I had no idea about anything. I only knew that when I opened my eyes, it was night.A pressure on my torso immediately caught my attention and I looked at my own body. Immediately, shock and panic hit me when I realized I wasn't wearing the same borrowed blouse I had

My stomach contracted even more."Y-you're okay," I whispered. That was obvious, of course, but I only said it because I needed to break the density of the silent atmosphere and because, although my resentment against him had not completely diminished, I really felt relieved to have him in front of me. Wounded, but alive.He nodded, still not looking at me.-How do you feel? —He inquired, but his eyes continued studying the space in which we were, as if it were the first time she had seen it—. Physically, I mean.I looked at my own body and felt again the area in my torso where I previously felt the pain that prevented me from breathing well."Much better," I admitted, before furrowing my brow at the suspicion that arose in me. Did you...heal me?Again, he shook his head in a half-hearted nod. I wanted to think that perhaps that was due to his surly attitude, because he had used the little energy he had to heal my wounds. Maybe he was just very tired.Once again, I felt nervousness ti

For eternal moments, I was not able to say anything, I was not able to move.For a few seconds, I felt like I couldn't breathe properly.I opened my mouth, but immediately closed it as I couldn't find any answer in my head for what he had just said. For a short period that felt endless, I couldn't do anything other than watch as he, with a sunken brow and a countenance that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't define, looked away from me.—What are you talking about? —I asked in a whisper.Azazziel crossed his arms over his chest and took a deep breath. He had advanced through the room until he was at the foot of the bed and from there he was looking at some place on the floor with almost no attention, completely avoiding fixing his eyes on my face."I had Asmodeus exempt you from the deal," he said in a hoarse whisper, his tone slow and calm, but inflexible. You're not obligated to do any of the stupid things he ordered you to do. You no longer have to comply with his stupid demands

«It's because you went there. Because you did something stupid and put your life and all of their lives in danger. "He's that upset about you." The voice in my head filled me with an overwhelming insecurity.—I-this is for agreeing to go there ? —I urged in a futile effort to find out—. Hey, it-it wasn't like I had too many options. Asmodeus threatened Hythro, and if he didn't take me away, he would have..."It's not just that," he interrupted me. The harsh, sullen tone with which she spoke made me want to shrink in on myself.-So what is it? —Desperation, the one that was making my breathing begin to accelerate more and more, made my tone rise—. W-do you want to cut me off from this completely? Do you want to solve it alone, perhaps? Do you want me to forget everything Asmodeus could do to us if we don't comply with his damn demands?Azazziel took a deep breath and looked back at my face. The gesture was so immutable, so strangely calm that I couldn't believe that, even though I was

I felt like my stomach was turning. I almost felt dizzy. I felt like walking away, getting away as quickly as possible, but the rejection I felt towards him took me by surprise and I just stayed there."I don't know," I admitted in a whisper.Azazziel gave a half smile.—I think you don't want it. And, in fact, I don't want it either.I looked up and, for some reason that confusion and lethargy did not allow me to understand, the stinging in my chest increased. A few seconds later, when understanding finally dawned on me, an overwhelming emotion washed over me.—You're going to leave…It wasn't a question, but he shook his head in a dry nod anyway.That single gesture was enough for the whirlwind of painful emotions to become more vivid , to enlarge its size inside me and increase the amount of damage it was going to cause.My breathing began to accelerate."So, that's all?" Is that what will happen? That you will resolve what is happening to me and my damn soul and I will separate my
