Has he forgiven me?

“I’m happy for you, Zo,” he murmurs. “Everything worked out the way it was supposed to. No hard feelings.”

I’m not going to cry. I’m not going to cry.

I smile and nod my head. If the smile is shaky and my eyes are watery, there’s just nothing to be done about it.

The six of them disappear in a cloud of smoke and despite all the questions and the conversations that need to be had, the only thing on my mind is reconnecting with my mate.

Madelyne

I’m happy for my parents and all but I’ve never seen my dad kiss anyone like that and I definitely never want a repeat.

Gakk, old people love.

Luc clears his throat, thoroughly annoyed at having to see his daughter making out with someone and I stifle a chuckle. My parents break apart and Dad looks like a freaking fire engine. I can’t exactly read Mom’s mind like I can my guys, but I’m getting some pretty strongfuck offvibes from her.

“We’ll just be going, now,” I draw out. “I need to bleach my eyes. Congrats. I’m glad you have each other again. I’ll talk to you later Dad.”

Not waiting for a response, I send Luc back to his room and my guys to mine. I’m going to get my best friend before he ends up mated to a demon without knowing what he’s signing up for.

I tell my magic to take me to him and Georgym but I somehow didn’t expect it to drop me in Georgym’s living room right in front of where they’re making out like two teenagers on the couch.

Fucking Hell. Is everyone in my life trying to fuck like a bunch of fucking jack rabbits right now?

“Sorry to interrupt. I came to save you from him, but I guess you don’t need saving, do you, Georgym?” I arch a brow at the demon.

At the sound of my voice, Georgym wrenches away from my bestie who is still groping him despite my presence.

“Your Highness! It’s not…Babe. Stop,” he hisses at Reed as his hand tries to dip into his pants.

“It’s not, what? You’re not taking advantage of myhumanbest friend?” I raise a brow at him, fighting to maintain the pissed-off facade as he pales.

“Oh, shut up. You know damn well no one could ever take advantage ofme,” Reed scoffs. “Why are you interrupting my demon dick down?”

“Well, I didn’t realize Iwas. Looks like the dick down is still a go from here.”

Georgym reaches down and pries Reed’s hand away.

“Is everything okay with Princess Zofina, my queen?”

“Mom’s fine. Thanks for asking, Geo. You don’t mind if I call you that, do you?”

“‘Tis an honor to be gifted a nickname from you, my queen.”

“Georgym,” I groan. “Don’t say shit like that.”

“What, my queen?” he asks, confused.

“Yes, Geo,that,please stop that. Call me Maddy please, especially if you’re going to be ‘dicking down’ my bestie on his first day in hell.” Georgym groans at my use of air quotes, or maybe because I said ‘dicking down’ again. “Anyhow, now that I know my bestie is safe for the night I think I’m going to retire to my room for my own dicking.”

Georgym groans but Reed snorts and pops up off the couch crossing the living room to wrap me in a slightly awkward hug.

“Jesus Mads, these wings make it hard as fuck to hug you.” Reed chuckles and pulls out of our hug.

“Watch yourself Reedy Bear, Glinda and Elphaba will smack the shit out of you if you run your mouth too much.”

Reed bends at the waist over clutching his stomach as he wheezes with laughter. “You… you named… you named your wings after the wicked witch and the good witch?”
