Page 93 of Psycho Devils: Aran's Story 2

Scorpius moaned and tightened his grip on my neck.

My voice was weak as I snarled, “Gonna cut out your tongue.”

He laughed, choked me harder, and dragged his tongue slowly across the side of my face. “Promise?”

I gaped with shock.

The blind king that had antagonized me for the last few months and made my life a living hell had now licked me twice. I clawed at the hand around my neck and rasped, “You’re a sick motherfu—”

“Everyone, shut up!” Zenith roared as he sat up in his bed, inky black lines expanding under his eyes.

Scorpius dropped me.

I scrambled away from where Malum was still pulling himself to his feet.

The black lines crawled down Zenith’s neck. “We compete tomorrow, and you’re disturbing Vegar. If I hear another word out of any of you, I’ll give you the worst nightmares of your life. That’s a promise.”

Malum stood up with a low groan.

I pointed at him and said, “He made a sound.”

Zenith narrowed his eyes.

“Never mind,” I said. “Super quick, do you have scissors?”

Zenith didn’t look amused. “You have one minute to shut up, or I’ll make sure that everyone in this room is screaming and shitting in their sleep.”

With that comforting statement, he rolled over and gave Vegar a soft kiss on the forehead. I’d never seen the demons use their powers, and something told me I didn’t want to.

As I stood there wiping the spit off my cheek with disgust, because Scorpius probably had gonorrhea with how often he had sex, a solution hit me.

I pushed my way past the devils. “I’m gonna go to Sadie’s room to fix my hair.”

“You’re not going anywhere near her, slave. I forbid it.” Scorpius grabbed my arm in a steel vise.

As I stared back at the blind devil, I remembered I couldn’t go anywhere by myself because of the brand on my hip. A rushing sensation washed over my limbs.

I was trapped.

It was hard to breathe.

“Stop it,” Scorpius ordered.

“Calm down, sweetheart,” Orion mouthed. “I’ll take you.”

I bolted for the door before he could change his mind.

I needed space from the kings.

Orion trailed me down the silent hall, and when I finally got to the door that said, “Shifter Legion,” I told him, “Wait outside.”

When I entered, I expected the room to be dark and sleeping.

A creepy voice asked, “Who dares enter our lair?”

I jumped.

Jinx blocked the entrance. She tilted her head down so her dark hair covered her face as she looked up, and a ferret was draped across the back of her neck like a scarf.
