Page 48 of How to Accidentally Become the Devil

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yuck it up, pretty boy. You’re just jealous you don’t have wings of your own.” I turn back towards Georgym on the couch before continuing, “Geo, when you come to the castle tomorrow could you please drop Reed off in Luc’s Library? Luc, the twins, and myself are going to see if we can find anything that will help Luc locate his mates topside. Then tomorrow evening I am insisting on a family dinner for which youbothwill be in attendance.”

“As you wish my- er Maddy,” Geo proclaims as he rises from the couch and does his awkward little arm cross, bow thing.

“That too Geo, stop it. No more bowing to me, okay?”

“Okay.” Geo nods resolutely while Reed crosses the room and leans into his side.

“We’ll see you tomorrow bestie, I promise. Love you, bitch.” Reed blows exaggerated air kisses at me.

“Love you too, Reed. See you both tomorrow.” With that I step back into my cloud of fog and pop into my quarters back at the castle.

Exhausted, I make my way to my bed. Completely alone for the first time in days, I think myself clean and ready for bed before falling dramatically into my comfy cozy blanket pile. Before my head even fully hits the pillow I’m slipping into a peaceful sleep for the first time in months really.

Coming back to Maddy’s room after grabbing dinner from the kitchens and finding her passed out wasn’t exactly what I expected, but she looked so peaceful, I didn’t have the heart to wake her. So I sent a mental message out to her mates and then climbed into bed next to her to join her in a peaceful slumber. I suppose that’s how I ended up here in the middle of this demonic puppy pile.

Bodies surround me on every side and I finally understand why Maddy trashes and squirms like a possessed ferret to get out of bed every morning.

I really have to pee.

Just then the thought hits me. I can use my, well I guess technically Maddy’s magic, for this. Closing my eyes I form the image of Maddy’s en suite in my mind and when I open them again I am standing in front of the porcelain throne I so desire.

After a quick refresh in the bathroom I exit to find my mate and bondmates rising from their spots as well.

“Is da bathroom freeb now?” Maddy asks in a sweet sleepy mumble that melts my heart.

“Sure is, Sweetheart. How you feeling? You passed out pretty hard last night.”

“Mmmm. Pee first, talky later,” she murmurs before disappearing.

“What the fuck is happening?” Oz mutters as his brows scrunch together.

By the time Maddy gets back from the bathroom, he’s said some variation ofwhat the fuckten times.

“I have to go to work, Princess. Something weird is going on with the souls in torture hall four.”

“No worries. I figured you’d need to get back to work. I’m going to hang out with Luc and Reed today. Let me know if you need me to help with whatever the issue is.”

“I’m sure I can handle it. You have fun catching up.” Oz kisses Maddy before popping off to work.

“I need to check in too. Make sure everyone is aware of the change in leadership,” Belz says.

“Could you tell everyone not to do that stupid bow thing,please. I might die of embarrassment then you’d have to get a new Devil,” Maddy groans.

“If that’s what you want,Amica Mea.”

“It is.” She nods resolutely.

Belz kisses her before he’s gone too, leaving just my brother and I with our mate.

“Well, I don’t have a mission at the moment. So I’m all yours, Angel.” Zeph winks.

“And I don’t have a job, so you won’t be getting away from me anytime soon.” I smirk. Turns out quitting was an even better idea than I thought. Now I get to spend time with my mate while everyone else is busy.

“Who said you could come?” Maddy arches a brow at us.
