Hellhound Prince of Fire (Hellhound #3) - Rue Volley Page 0,16

The birds started to engulf my father again and the moaning rose behind us as I quickened my pace and we made our way for the door. Once out, I looked back as the birds looked like a black tornado swirling all around him and the tree. The silhouette of my Mom stood out along the gray skyline as she watched on.

“Jet that is not the way it should be.” He looked up at me and grinned. His grin reminding me of my own and it calmed me a little bit.

“But he hurt you and Grandma.”

“That is true, he did, but revenge has no happy ending.” I went down to my knees in front of him. “It takes everything good about you and it eats it up and swallows it whole.”

“Like a snake?”

“Yes, just like a snake.”

“Dad says that snakes are good.”

I sighed and moved his hair from his eyes. “Your Dad doesn’t always know everything.”

“Well now,” a voice said from behind us.

I stood up and took Jet’s hand as Lucifer came walking down the hallway. He looked me over and then stopped as his eyes lowered to Jet.

“Getting big I see. Good.”

Jet looked up at me and tightened his grip on my hand.

“He is growing very fast Lucifer. Is he okay?”

Lucifer smiled and let his eyes settle back onto mine.

“What good would that do? I don’t always tell the truth now do I?”

I narrowed my eyes and then picked Jet up and held him. He was getting too big to carry, but I did not care.

“I want to leave, now.”

“Okay…leave then.”

I tilted my head and stared at him.

“Really….go,” he added as I walked past him and towards the elevator. I stopped as my feet started to feel heavy and they sank into the floor. I cried out as I had to let go of Jet and struggled to break free.

“What is this!?” I screamed as I pushed my way up out of the floor and reached for Jet who stood on the other side of the floor between us, that looked liquefied. I waved my hand to him.

“Jump baby, I will catch you.”

“I said you could go, my son remains here. You will not be taking him anywhere Halo.”

I gritted my teeth and clinched my fists at my side. I glanced back at the elevator and then back to Jet as he stood there and stared at me.

“Mommy?” he said to me as Lucifer took his hand.

“God Damn you Lucifer, I want my son!”

“I think you mean “our” son Halo, he is not just yours. You are being just a tiny bit selfish don’t you think?”

“You cannot keep us prisoners here.”

He laughed and looked down at Jet. “Go play,” he said as two minions appeared out of the shadows and took his hands on either side. He looked back at me as they walked him down the hallway and out of my sight. I then focused all of my hatred on Lucifer.

“Listen to me you fucking cunt. I want my son and I will kill you if I have to.”

He smiled at me and then licked his lip.

“Oh shit, there she is. I thought for a moment that you turned into a pussy and had no balls left.”

“Fuck you Lucifer,” I hissed at him.

“Yeah, we already did that. I mean, don’t get me wrong. Your pussy is some of the best I have ever had and trust me, that is a huge compliment. But it’s not like I can’t get laid.”

“Oh you can get laid when you shape shift and fucking weasel your way into bedrooms.”

“Oh come on. Let’s just cut the bullshit here. You tell me that it did not seem a bit odd to you when we fucked Halo? I mean, did we talk? Did you feel like it was the reunion you dreamed of? I mean if I had to take a fucking guess, and I am going to so just be quiet and let me, I would say that you knew it was me and wanted my cock.”

I felt sick to my stomach when he said the words and my hesitation made him smile.

“Just as I thought.”

“I did not want it to be you,” I said as I stepped back from the melted and churning floor.

“You tell yourself that and try to be convincing. I mean, what do you want me to tell our son? That you hate me and that you wish I was dead. Is that what you want for him?”

“Shut up,” I
