Sinful As Hell (The Demon Academy #1) - G. Bailey Page 0,27

sister; I'm not letting you have a terrible life here—"

"It’s not terrible. I wasn't lying before, Lexi is—"

"A demon, Serafin! If you were on the floor in pain, she would feed off your pain and leave you suffering. Demons are fucking monsters," he growls at her.

"Coming from the wolf with big bad teeth," I mutter, and he growls at me. I roll my eyes, flinching once again as Sera cleans a cut on my other shoulder. Javier just smiles. Asshole.

"Lexi is not a monster any more than you and I are. I trust her," Sera tells him.

"Seriously? You trust this mess of a demon in front of you?" he asks.

"Yes, and I want you to as well," she demands.

"No," he replies.

"Javier, come on. I'm happy, can't you see that? I could have a much worse fate than this and Father would never accept you starting a war to take me from here like I know you want too," she tells him.

"Fine, but I'm coming to check on you every Saturday. Understood?" he finally replies, giving in.

"Okay if you insist," she says, smiling at me, her eyes apologetic.

"I do," he firmly tells her.

"I will make sure to be out of the room—"

"You will have to be here too. If you aren't in your room, I have to go with you, remember?" Sera reminds me.

"Shit, sorry, I forgot," I say.

"A demon saying sorry to a wolf. I've seen everything now," Javier blandly remarks.

"Will you stop it, Javier Moss Luque. You two need to get along to make this work," Sera snaps.

"Why?" Javier and I say at the same time.

"Never mind," Sera mutters, and I go back to glaring at the wolf until Sera says she is all done.

"I'm going to bed early, it's just been madness today," I say, standing up and Javier stands at the same time. He walks right up to me, keeping his eyes locked with mine.

"You protect my sister, or the Lunar wolf pack will never stop hunting you," he warns me.

"You're not alpha yet, right?" I smirk. "I don't think you have the right to say that."

"Woah, stop with the threats," Sera says, pushing her way between us. I shake my head, knowing I'm done for the night. I walk away, and look over my shoulder, seeing Javier's eyes firmly fixed on me.

"Don't forget to fix the window, Javier. I doubt your wolfly charm will be able to make it fix itself." I escape into my room before I can hear his no doubt short-tempered reply. I seriously need to work on my charm; I feel like all I do is pack up enemies by the payload.

One day, one of them is going to bite me in the ass. Quite literally, I suspect, if Javier has anything to do with it.

Chapter 11

Some things need to stay a secret

"Good work today," Mr. Morganach says almost breathlessly as he stops running. I come to a halt at his side, sucking in a breath as I try not to look like I'm close to passing the hell out. It's been three days since I came to this academy and started these lessons, but at least I'm keeping up with the crazy asshole angel. I nod at him and turn around, heading to the steps up to the academy. Mr. Morganach flies over me, and I look up, seeing nothing but glistening abs as he lands at the top of the steps, watching me as I walk up to them and step around him. His arm snaps out, blocking me from stepping further. My eyes trail up his firm arms, his muscular, large shoulders until I meet his eyes. "Are you not speaking to me anymore? Did I hurt your feelings, baby?"

I push his arm away, and his laughter fills my ears as I storm away from him, refusing to speak to the lunatic until he says sorry, or decides to be a better person. He jogs past me like he has to be in front. He is such a child. I stop to do my laces on my trainers up before walking into the academy.

Honestly, I suspect neither of those things is going to happen anytime soon. I head straight inside, only pausing when I see Maggie and Mr. Morganach quietly talking together. Her hand rests on his arm like they are familiar with each other, and he is smiling at her as she giggles. So he hates me but likes one of the crazy bitch twins?

Not that it matters
