“And that’s it?” my dad asked.
“Yes” I replied squeezing Jay’s hand a little so I didn’t show I was lying. I knew that he knew I was lying
anyways.
“How about y’all come back tomorrow, I think Kendal needs to eat and then rest the rest of today” Jay suggested, I gave him a thankful look and he kissed my forehead. I knew that Jenny and my dad expected me to protest but I didn’t say anything. Jay and I got up and they all gave me hugs before leaving.
I could feel the emotion rising in my chest, the second the door snapped shut, I broke down and started to sob. Jay pulled me into his arms.
“I know baby” he whispered kissing the top of my head. I bawled my eyes out, I cried for a really long time, just letting everything out. Jay held me for the longest. He whispered things to me every now and then but just let me cry in peace. He held me tightly and I felt so safe in his big arms I just let everything
out. Eventually I stopped sobbing and just silently let tears out.
“Did he touch you?” he asked me after a little while, I shook my head which sent pain throughout my
neck.
“I woke up… and they told me that I was pregnant. Dez tried to trick me into staying by saying It was his. I told him it wasn’t, that it was yours…” I cried a little more ” and he let me go.”
“That’s all?” he asked, I shrugged.
“Some more things were said, but they’re not important” I told him.
“Can we go to bed?” I asked him so he wouldn’t ask me to talk about it anymore.
“Of course we can sweetheart” he whispered to me kissing the top of my head. He took me upstairs and ran a hot bath for me. I got in and he didn’t go anywhere, he sat on the edge of the tub and held my hand the whole time. He wouldn’t let me go, he kneeled by the bathtub and got a washcloth and some soap and washed me limb by limb, every time I would try to help he would just say “no angel” under his breath and kiss my hand. He washed my hair and then got me out and sat me on the counter dried me off. He took his shirt off and put it on me and then carried me to bed, he stripped in mere seconds and then climbed in bed and wrapped his arms around me.
I snuggled impossibly closer to him and fell asleep in the strong tattooed arms of the man that I love.
Jay’s POV
I studied her face, she had fallen asleep so quickly. She was so beautiful, she moved a little in her sleep

and her tiny fists tightened around the sheets they gripped. I sighed running my fingers softly through her hair, she moved towards my touch, the small movement made me happy. I brushed my fingers softly down her cheek, and then traced over the dark purple bruises still healing on her neck. I could feel the anger rising in my chest and the itching feeling inside me to kill someone.
I knew Dezmond had likely already killed the man who did this to her, but it didn’t lessen my urges. I pulled my hand from her clenching my fist, I didn’t want my hands to be anywhere near her when I was
like this.
Bloodthirsty.
She meant too much for me to let myself do stupid things around her. I took in a deep breath trying to bury the feelings. Being half demon and being driven by the burning fire of anger inside of me didn’t help. I waited a little while, the tightness in my chest slowly released but the restlessness stayed buried deep inside me. I waited patiently swallowing back the anger. I studied her, not letting my eyes trail to her neck, the bruises weren’t the only thing I despised that was printed on her neck.
She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. And I had seen my fair share of beautiful women, but she was absolutely gorgeous, and I wasn’t saying that because I was completely in love with her. Everywhere she went, the eyes of men lingered, I suspected that’s why she always had so many problems with men, I had heard her talk about. She didn’t notice, she was oblivious, but she was drop dead gorgeous, inside and out.
Finally I allowed myself to touch her gently and resume tracing her soft tanned skin softly. A loud buzzing filled the room, it was my phone vibrating against the wood of the dresser. I grabbed it instantly silencing it, checking to see if she was disturbed. She was still sleeping peacefully, I kissed her forehead before going into the hallway pressing the phone to my ear. I didn’t speak, I just waited.
“You’re needed here” I cursed, and then peeked back into our room looking at her small peaceful figure curled up, not even taking up 4 of the bed.
“Be there in 15.” I said letting my irritation slip into my voice. I sighed and then put on a tux quickly not bothering with the jacket, I slipped a tie on, tying it as I kissed her gently and then grabbed my keys. The sinking feeling in my chest got worse as I descended the stairs. I hated leaving her. I texted Eric to come baby sit. She was in so much danger these days, I wasn’t taking any chances, even if I hated the little mutt.

He was outside by the time I opened the door.
“Have fun” he said smugly walking into the house.
“Don’t touch her.” I snarled at him before leaving. I could see the way he looked at her, and I hated it. But I knew if he was convinced he loved her, then he would stop at nothing to keep her safe just like I would. Leaving her with him left the worst taste in my mouth, I didn’t trust him. Especially not with something as precious as her. Or something that was mine and mine alone.
I shook the thoughts from my head, not allowing myself to get anymore irritated than I already was. I finally got there, pulling in the main gate and the driving up the long driveway of the giant brick mansion with huge white columns in the front. I went up the stairs and yanked the door opened, I immediately went to the giant ornate staircase to my left and went up opening the white French doors.
“Jay, glad you could join us.” Thaddeus said from the head of the table, I glared but went to my seat quietly. I stared at the empty seat before me, and looked around. Why was the seat not filled? Where was Matthew, I didn’t let any alarm or emotion show on my face but if he didn’t show up I knew exactly why this meeting had been called.
“As you all can see; Matthew is not with us. He was in charge of sector 7, the leader of our executive board, and the main coordinator, meaning the position needs to be filled. Now, Jay you’re the only one powerful enough to fill his position, which means you need to pick your apprentice and fulfill his duties.” Thaddeus stated. There wasn’t an option here. My mind raced.
I couldn’t. Matthew took frequent trips to the man downstairs, he was one of the most powerful demons that was able to walk the earth, he was the coordinator. He basically led the demon world by taking what the he said and relaying it to the rest of the demon world that was here on Earth. If I took the position, I would be associating with the most powerful demons in the world, even the big man himself. I couldn’t put myself in that positon of power. The position would come with many enemies, more than I already had. I couldn’t risk Kendal like that. I had something to lose now.
I wasn’t seeing another option here. If I declined the position, the question would be why. The position was high enough, if I said no, the devil himself might look into why I didn’t want it. I couldn’t risk him knowing about Kendal either.
This seemed to be boiling down to who was I more afraid of? And who could I protect Kendal from the best?
She was already in so much danger, she was already so wanted. I took in a deep breath.
“I accept” I forced out.
