Page 33 of How to Accidentally Become the Devil

“Damn, Angel. What’d you do to her?” Zeph asks, looking at the frozen demon.

“Nothing short of what she deserves,” my sexy as fuck mate says in a voice laced with power. “She will remain trapped inside her worst nightmare until she repents for all of her misdeeds. If that time ever comes, I’ll know immediately and will decide what to do with her from there. I don’t anticipate that happening though. As much as I want all the lost souls in Hell to truly atone for their sins, I have my doubts she’ll be able to.” Maddy shrugs. “It’s in her hands now.”

“Your grandma, Sera, would be proud,Amica Mea.” Belz runs his hand down her spine and her wings flutter as she shivers under his touch. “Now, what are we going to do with him?” He tips his head toward Droxley who’s gaping in horror.

Maddy tilts her head as she considers her uncle’s punishment until a sinister smile slowly spreads across her face. Without a word, she disappears in a cloud of smoke.

“What the fuck?” Zar snaps. “She do that often?”

“Not without earning another tally on the spanking count,” I growl back at him.

A new cloud of smoke closer to Droxley signals her return and I’m surprised to see Fireball with her. She bends down and says something to the hound before he flames out and attacks Droxley, viciously tearing his balls from his chained body.

Fucking Hell.Echoes in my head as each of us instinctively cover our balls.

“Man, what did she say to him to make him go off like that?” Zeph grimaces as he watches our hellhound go psycho on Luc’s son.

“I told him what Droxley did to his mate. I figured Fireball deserved to get his retribution for the kidnapping of his mate. I mean they left her out in that hellscape with no plan to ever bring her home. How would he have met his mate if she was stranded in the Moaning Forest.” Maddy shrugs as our hound continues tearing her uncle to shreds, seemingly unbothered by his screams.

And to think there was a time when I thought she was too soft for this world. She’s proven to be the perfect balance of kind and cruel. She is exactly what Hell needs, exactly whatweneed. Pulling her into my chest I plant kisses all over the crown of her head and push feelings of adoration and pride through the bond.

“Can we just walk back to my chambers please? I just want to cuddle and recharge with my mates. I know we still have to help Mom but she’ll be okay for just one more night, won’t she?” Maddy pleads with me as she peers up at me through tear glistened eyes.

“Of course, Princess. Whatever you need, Zo will be okay. We will figure this out.”

Zephyr opens the door and we trail out of Luc’s torture room, leaving the carnage behind. I hold Maddy’s hand as we walk, unable to let her go for even a second. Before the door closes behind us, Belz whistles for Fireball to come with us. No need for him to make himself sick eating Droxley.

The vicious hound runs up to Maddy, rubbing his head against her side.

“I know, Killer. It’s okay. He deserved everything you did and more.” She pets his head, not affected by the blue flames still burning all over his body. “You’re still my good boy.”

Is she having a legit conversation with our hellhound right now?Zeph’s thoughts intrude my own. I really need to figure out how Belz and Maddy blocked him. His thoughts are a constant barrage to my once peaceful mind.

You know Luc can do that. It makes sense that Maddy can too.His twin chimes in.

“Of course you can go back to your mate now.” Maddy chuckles. “I’m glad you came with us today and finally met her. I’ll punish the guys for keeping you apart for so long.” She winks at Fireball before sending him back to Snow.

“You’ll punish us, huh? I’m pretty sure you’re the one getting the spankings when we get back to your room, Princess.” I arch a brow at her, not missing the spike of desire that shoots down the bond.

“That may be. But you still deserve to be punished for keeping poor Fireball from his mate. Think of all the time they wasted apart. Shame on you. All of you.” She shakes her head.

We turn the corner and collide with Georgym.

“Oh! Your Highness! Master Oz! I’m terribly sorry.”

“Don’t worry about it, Georgym. No harm. It was our fault, really,” Maddy insists.

“Oh, no. The fault is mine, Ma’am. I was just-”

“Georgym. Calm down. It’s okay. What’s going on?” Maddy asks the anxious guard.

“Wrong? Nothing. Everything’s right. That’s what I was trying to say. All the demons are back to normal. No more crying! Oh, thank the devil!”

Maddy chuckles and I bite my lips together to stop from joining her.

“It sounds like it was quite the ordeal for you. I’m happy to hear everyone is back to normal. Thank you, Georgym.”

“Yes, yes. Of course. And Mistress Zofina? How is she?”
