Hey guys sorry for the late update. I am fighting allergies and a cold so my head has been replaced with sand lol.

Please excuse the grammar errors….there will probably be more since I'm not feeling very well.

Again thank you all for the lovely reviews and support. Love you all and hope you enjoy this chapter.

I do not own YOI

5555555

After the threat from Lucifer the guards in the shadow realm grew uneasy whenever their Prince hunted in the mortal realm.

Otabek noticed how the hell demons would attack more aggressively at Yuuri though by now the angel had such a strong connection to their master that he was almost untouchable. So far they have not run into any of the higher level demon which in Otabek's opinion, meant that the Hell Lord was observing for weaknesses.

Viktor was so on edge that everyone was walking on eggshells around him. Everyone except his mate.

The guards have come to not only respect Yuuri as an avenging angel and a fighter but as a leader. They knew that if they had a concern that it was best to approach their Prince rather than their Master in times like these.

Only Yuuri was capable of going near their Master when he was angry. The angel held little to no fear of their Lord and it was truly awe inspiring to watch the dark formidable lord of the underworld bend and soften in the arms of the smaller pure being.

And it was for this reason that his safety was placed on upmost importance when they went out hunting. They all knew that if anything were to happen to Yuuri then they were all as good as dead.

Jean Jacque growled killing another hell demon before turning and embedding his black poisoned knife into the head of another one before he looked around.

"Damn those bastards" he muttered "They are getting on my nerves"

Otabek sheathed his sword nodding in agreement "They are becoming more and more problematic. At this rate our Prince will spend more time in the mortal realm trying to help his brothers and sisters than safe at home"

Jean Jacque made a sour face "Lucifer is a dumbass" he retorted walking down the street with the other guard looking for more demons "If he wants to go after Yuuri then he better make damn sure he takes Viktor out as well because there is going to be nothing left of Hell once he is finished if anything happens to that angel"

Otabek couldn't help but feel it was probably safer for Yuuri to go home to Heaven but he would never voice it. For one thing, for some strange reason, the angel loved their Master.

Yuuri and Viktor spent many hours together and rarely saw one without the other. Viktor was very possessive and protective of Yuuri who seems just rolled his eyes and indulge him. Many times Yuuri would be seen training only to have their master walk up to the angel and kiss him before they both melted into shadows.

How Yuuri remained pure still was a mystery to them all.

Viktor didn't hide his desire for the angel but held back.

It was all very strange in their realm but it sure wasn't boring any longer.

The sound of large feathered wings caught their attention. Looking up they saw their Prince flying above the city of Paris, silver/white wings flapping slowly so that he hovered. His silver armor glinted in the night lights making his golden aura look almost too bright to look at.

"You do gotta admit" said Jean Jacque still looking up at Yuuri "Viktor sure knows how to pick them"

Otabek rose an eyebrow at him "Don't let the master hear you say that"

"What?" he said then huffed "it's a compliment geez"

"You didn't hear what happened to Zin did you?" said Otabek with a laugh remembering the incident.

"No…..don't really know him"

"He had made a comment on how alluring Yuuri was and Viktor overheard" Otabek gave the younger demon a pointed look but he could see it was lost on him. Honestly…couldn't they see how zealous their master was?

Jean Jacque shrugged "So?"

"Yeah well…Zin is a melted pile of demon goo on the training grounds now" laughed the senior guard then smirked at Jean Jacques stunned expression "So it's best you admire from afar and in your head"

Jean was still gawking at him when Yuuri landed before them causing the younger shadow guard to take a step away from the angel.

"Feel any more around?" he asked looking around then frowned at Jean Jacque "you okay JJ?"

At that Otabek looked at the younger demon "JJ?"

Yuuri laughed "My idea…just easier"

If it was any way possible Jean Jacque looked paler than a ghost.

"I'm dead" he whimpered

Yuuri frowned looking at the other demon "What I do?"

Otabek shook his head "Not anything you did my lord"

Yuuri looked momentarily confused before his eyes widen in understanding "I don't let Viktor kill you JJ…it's my idea to call you that anyways"

Jean was not comforted by that.

Otabek decided to throw the poor demon a bone and changed the subject "It's all clear here"

Yuuri nodded "Alright…guess I'll go ho-"but he froze, tilted his head then smiled "One of my siblings call"

Twisting his ring he melted into the shadow realm, Otabek and JJ following.

When Yuuri emerged from the shadows he paused for a moment "What in the in name of shadows….." he muttered looking at what looked like a goat head with chicken legs and the body of human. It was the most horrid thing he has ever seen. It felt evil and twisted.

"Yuuri!"

He shook himself from his shock to see Gabriel and Michael trying to fend off the snakes the mutated demon was releasing from its mouth.

Giving a little shudder he opened his hand and held out a black smoke sphere. He sent a pulse to call on more of his guards before he went in to help his brothers. Pulling out his twin knives he slashed at the venomous snakes watching in fascination as they disintegrated as soon as they tried to get close to him.

Pulling on Viktor's aura he made it so the goat demon had to back away from in panic forcing it to close its mouth so that no more snakes would come out. Spreading his wings open he let his light blaze bright. The creature shrieked then ran opened a portal and disappeared into Hell.

Yuuri clicked his tongue in frustration "He got away" he turned to see the twins and his guards killing the rest of the snakes. He made sure they all were destroyed before he went to talk to his brothers.

"What was that thing?" he asked when the last of the snakes were turned to dust.

"An ancient demon" said Gabriel in disgust "We have been fighting more and more of the older kind who are harder to dispose of and quick to get away"

Yuuri did not like this at all and wondered if it was all part of a plot to get to him by trying to hurt his siblings.

"You are still pure"

Yuuri turned to Michael "Mmmm" he said in acknowledgement "Viktor does not want my golden light to vanish"

Michael frowned "That is….very uncharacteristic of him" he managed trying to at least sound diplomatic before he pressed on "Yuuri….come home. You have proven that you are a very skilled warrior. The heavens could use another avenging angel to serve The Lord"

Michael watched with a heavy heart as Yuuri shook his head "I can't Michael….I gave him my vow"

Michael blanched "You….gave a vow?" he swallowed frantically thinking of a loophole to get Yuuri home "There are ways around a vow Yuuri...we could help you"

But Yuuri shook his head again "Thank you for your concern Michael...really but I gave Viktor my word" he then blushed "besid-"

"You, angel, are breaching the terms of my treaty"

Yuuri turned around to see Viktor walking towards them, eyes blazing blue angrily. Yuuri groaned to himself but turned around and met him half ways.

"It's alright Viktor" he said softly to him letting Viktor pull him into the shelter of his arms "You can't blame them for asking but I am not leaving you"

He could see the tick in his jaw where he was clenching his teeth.

Viktor glared at the twin who has been standing much too close to his mate "I thought I made myself clear. No one is to attempt to take my mate again"

Michael's wings bristled, his fists clutched at his sword as he shot daggers at the demon lord who was holding on the one angel who meant more to him than any other being other than his brother. He felt his heart constrict seeing Yuuri in the arms of any other being not him.

Yuuri tried to defuse the situation "Calm down Vitya" he said softly "I wasn't going to go"

Viktor tore is harden expression from the twin to look down at his mate his expression softening a bit "I know you won't angel moy, I have complete faith in your word" he then looked up to glare again at the blonde angel "Its him I don't have faith in. He is more likely to toss you over one shoulder and haul you to heaven"

Yuuri snorted bringing Viktor's attention back down to him "You're forgetting that no one you don't want to touch me can't. So how can I be 'hauled' into Heaven?"

Viktor growled "There is always a way to get things done Yuuri. The point remains that he is breaching the terms of my treaty"

Michael and Gabriel watched half in fascination and half in horror as the young angel looked up at the demon lord that they have been hunting and failed to kill and let out a noise of frustration. He did not seem at all afraid of Viktor.

"Now you are just being paranoid" retorted Yuuri

"Paranoid? My concern for your safety is not paranoia" bit back Viktor cupping the back of Yuuri's neck his fingers playing with his hair. He meant for the gesture to be hard and dominant one but instead it turned into a soft caress.

Yuuri frowned up at him "We are talking about my siblings Viktor….not Lucifer's threat"

Michael, overhearing, stepped closer "Lucifer made a threat against Yuuri?" He pushed the petty feelings of jealousy aside. If the Fallen One is targeting Yuuri that was his first priority.

Viktor nodded "He is a jealous bastard. Hates that he can't control me" he scoffed "Thinks himself the rightful ruler to the underworld" he said then looked down at Yuuri his expression worried "He has found a weakness that has never been there before and is trying to use it to try and manipulate me"

Gabriel frowned "Rightful ruler?"

Viktor looked over at the twins and let out a suffering long sigh "Honestly don't you angels read up the history of our realms? Or have you all been that deluded in thinking I was just another Hell demon?"

The twins looked at each other "We know of the history back when God created the human race"

Viktor barked out a laugh "Well you're missing a few years of history"

Michael had a bad feeling. There has never been a demon they were not able to kill…..except Viktor. No matter how much they fought and injured each other the blasted demon never died. They have injured and maimed but never had their light or weapons of Heaven had any drastic effects on the demon.

"What are we missing?"

Viktor shook his head "No wonder you two thought you could actually kill me. I don't know if I should be insulted or laugh"

Yuuri rolled his eyes but remained quiet but not before muttering "Diva" under his breath causing the two shadow guards to cough suddenly apparently trying hard not to laugh.

Viktor turned and glared at the two guards who paled and melted back into the shadows. He turned back to the twins and shrugged.

"When the Powers created our world your God emerged from the light" he then smirked "I emerged from the dark"

That was not what Michael had expected to hear "So….you were the Lord of Hell?"

Viktor shook his head "Don't confuse the underworld to Hell. Hell is the creation of Lucifer. The little parasite took half of my domain and created that forsaken place. There is a border which he cannot cross that leads into what is left of my realm….the original underworld or the Shadow realm as you call it"

"Wait wait" said Gabriel "If you are the original Lord….why did you let Lucifer take over?"

Viktor glared "I didn't 'let' him do shit as you so put it" then let out a breath and went on "When he first fell he did not cause any problems and I paid him no mind. To me he was just another subject of mine to watch over. It was many years before I started to notice a shift in my realm. When he started to pull the souls of humans I stepped in but it was too late. The souls could not be removed and the war was set. I tried to dispatch of them but I could not do it on my own since the souls are not of my creation"

Gabriel ran a hand through his hair "Let me guess…..you asked our Lord"

Viktor nodded "You should piece the events together from there. That was why I was angry at Heaven"

"You got caught in the middle of a war that had nothing do with you"

Viktor turned to look at Michael "And want no part of" he declared harshly "I have had enough with both realms taking from me. Heaven refusing to deal with the infuriating creature who took over half of my realm and Hell for thinking I can bend to its will"

Gabriel snorted "You are not free of sins against Heaven. Don't play mytar….it doesn't suit you"

Viktor thought of that and decided it was true "I will give you that…but I still stand in my original statement. I want no part of it"

Yuuri shook his head "Sorry Viktor but the day you decided to take me as a mate you did choose a side" he said softly "You stopped taking the angels and are now aiding them. Face it Viktor….you are now part of this"

Viktor grumbled under his breath when he realized just how far he came from over two years ago. He went from taking angels from Heaven and tossing them to Hell to aiding the angels in their war against Hell.

By the Shadows how the mighty has fallen…and all for one young angel.

Michael could see this mind going over this new revelation and couldn't help laugh internally at the irony of it all. Their once enemy now turned ally looking slightly put off realizing that he has let a young angel tempt him into forming an alliance with the very heavens he was so angry with.

"He has a way of getting to you doesn't he?" said Michael feeling his heart squeeze uncomfortably.

"Well you know the saying….the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I think it applies well in this situation then" said Viktor with a sarcastic tilt to his voice.

The strangeness of standing making conversation with the demon they have hunted for many years suddenly made all three shift awkwardly. How odd the night had turned out.

"Well" said Viktor finally clearing his throat "this has been grand and all but I think it's best if we retire to our realm" he looked down at Yuuri "Shall we?"

"If Hell is targeting Yuuri" said Michael before they disappeared "Why is Yuuri so exposed to danger?"

Viktor's eyes lit up "Thank you!" he said in a triumphant voice startling the two angels.

Michael was slightly taken back at the sudden exclamation from the demon then was really confused when Yuuri gave him a sour look.

"You just made my life ten times more difficult Michael….thanks" he muttered then rounded on Viktor "Whatever is cooking up in that twisted head of yours Viktor the answer is no" he said to Viktor folding his arms.

Viktor shocked the two angels by giving Yuuri a wide grin. The demon looked like a Cheshire cat who just ate a canary. He looked almost friendly, all of his fierceness seemed to vanish in the presence of Yuuri which was very odd for the two angels who have fought this being for near a millennia.

"What did we miss?" asked Gabriel looking between the two.

Yuuri gave them a long suffering sigh "He wants to restrict my movements to the underworld but I have told him multiple times" he said the last part turning to glare at Viktor "That it drives me nuts to have nothing to do"

"You could train" offered Viktor in a chipper voice that only served to annoy the angel.

"No" said Yuuri

"You can lead one of the legions that are set at the border" again offered Viktor.

"No" said Yuuri stubbornly "You know what being cooped up in the underworld does to me"

Gabriel folded his arms "I can only imagine" he said making the arguing pair look over at him "Yuuri is an angel of Heaven Viktor. Whether you like to acknowledge it or not, his home can never be the underworld unless he is to fall" his voice was gentle and not at all harsh which surprised Yuuri a bit

"Yuuri can only last so long in the underworld before it starts to affect him in negative ways. Coming to the mortal realm helps but it is not going to be enough. I'm sure you have noticed his moods being a bit more erratic? Perhaps his fatigue is stronger? He gets sad easily over nothing? I did not mention it in the times he has come to our aid because of the treaty. I was actually waiting for you, Viktor, to call on us for help"

Michael looked at his brother "You knew?"

Gabriel nodded "When I told the Seraphim that Yuuri was the one aiding us and that he was still pure they were the ones to let me know that he was going to have to either fall or come back home. I did not say anything until it was needed"

Viktor frowned looked down at Yuuri. Yes he had noticed. Yuuri hasn't really been himself lately but he dismissed it since he knew he was being more possessive of him. He figured it was his way of rebelling against him.

"Yuuri needs to go to Heaven to at least recharge his soul. If he does not he will fall… pure or not" said Gabriel to Viktor "I won't pretend to understand the bond you formed with Yuuri or why he is so important to you Viktor but you have been true to your word in regards to the treaty and giving back the light to the angels you have wronged is a step in finding some sort of redemption. So I will give you this bit of advice. If you care at all for Yuuri, you will need to let him go for a time being"

Viktor somehow knew that this was true….he hated to admit it but he was noticing his light flicker a bit. Yuuri was not a dark being. He belonged in the light. If he went to Heaven for a time…..he could hide from Lucifer and he could recharge his light so that he wasn't so worn out but he couldn't bear to be without him.

He pulled Yuuri to him, cupping his neck and touched his forehead with his feeling his soul heavy. He didn't want his light to leave his side. He has grown so use to having it wrapped around him tight, basking in its warmth that the long cold days ahead seem very daunting.

Yuuri who could tell all his quirks by now placed his hands on his chest and cried softly "I don't want to leave you" he whispered softly leaning in to place a soft kiss on his lips pouring his love and light into that one kiss. He wrapped his aura around his mate trying hard to comfort him. They disagree on things it was true but his love for Viktor was stronger than ever and he knew Viktor felt the same for him even if he didn't voice it.

Viktor savored his lips and light. He knew this was the best thing for Yuuri. He could not be selfish and place him in danger…not even for his own desires. Yuuri was still his mate no matter what anyone said or where he was.

Pulling away he placed a kiss on his forehead "It will only be for a month Yuuri then I want you back home is that understood?" he said looking at him "You can go back and forth when you feel the need but only if you are escorted. Use our bond….. I will feel you and come to you"

Yuuri's eyes lit up "You mean it?" he said smiling at the demon who held his heart "I can go back and forth?"

Viktor nodded "Only you can matter more than what I want and if this will keep you happy and safe than I can bend a bit"

Yuuri's eyes melted a glittering topaz "I will miss you Vitya" he whispered his hands going to caress his silvery hair, loving the feel of the long strands.

"So shall I angel moy" he said then looked up at the twins "I want him delivered back in the exact condition I leave him in. Your healers are to leave my energy within him alone. Don't attempt to purify it…it serves as a bond. If my presence around Yuuri becomes an issue I trust you two can find a way to solve it. I will keep my word on our treaty. Call and I will personally answer" he then growled "After everything that bastard is doing I think a little reminder on who I am will suffice"

The twins nodded "Then we are in agreement. Yuuri stays in Heaven for at least a month every visit as long as he remains pure"

Viktor nodded taking Gabriel's out stretched hand to seal their pact.

Yuuri, in true Yuuri fashion, really couldn't help but throw in a "This feels an awful lot like child custody" with slight frown on his face.

Viktor rose an eyebrow, looked over at Gabriel and gave him a sly smile "You can be the mother"

Gabriel pinned the demon with a dry stare "I think I liked you better when your sword did the talking"

Yuuri and Michael laughed.

Michael knew this was the best he could ever hope for. At least Yuuri will be safe. Though he did not like it and his heart weighed heavily within him…he could not deny that Viktor did indeed love Yuuri immensely and since Yuuri returned those same feelings all he could do is hope for the best.

He knew he was envious of Viktor but did his best to cast those feelings aside. They would only lead him to darkness. Yes he loves Yuuri with all his soul but he also held enough love for him that he wanted nothing more than for him to be happy. If Viktor was the thing that made him happy then he would accept it.

He did not know how such a relationship could ever last but it seems they found a balance. He was so sure all Viktor wanted was to defile Yuuri but his willingness to do what was right for Yuuri's wellbeing spoke of feelings deeper than just desire and possession. Anyone who placed the health and happiness of their beloved above their own wants was truly in love in his opinion.

What else could be more pure than that?

If Viktor was capable of such a thing then he could only call it a miracle.

The twins gave the two privacy to say their goodbyes before the three angels headed back to the heavenly realm.

Yuuri looked down at Viktor feeling his heart heavy. He missed him already but knew he had to do this. He had been feeling off but he wrote it off as either one thing or another. It never occurred to him that the underworld would affect him so much but in a way it made sense.

The relief he felt when he flew into the portal was instantaneous. He haven't even realized just how weighted down he had felt until he crossed the realms. He landed and fell on his knees and lifted his face to the light, shuddering feeling the warmth permeate every fiber of his being.

He felt a hand on his shoulder.

Looking up he saw Michael smiling down at him "Welcome back home Yuuri" the avenging angel knelt down so that he could eye level with him "Are you alright?"

Yuuri sighed and nodded "It's…..just so odd" he said looking around the golden field "I never felt the difference until now"

"You are a creature of the light Yuuri….we are not meant to dwell in the underworld" he said giving him a pointed look "You know this"

Yuuri nodded "I suppose" then looked over at Michael again "What now?"

Michael stood up and held out his hand "Well I assume it is up to you Yuuri"

Yuuri looked at it "Won't it hurt you?"

"I don't think it will….." said Gabriel walking over to them "Viktor only protects you against those he does not approve of. Since we made a pack with you I am going to assume he is giving us permission to touch you"

Yuuri couldn't help the huff "He can be so ridiculous at times" and placed his hand in Michael's.

Michael smiled "See" he said and tried to ignore the way his heart melted holding on to his hand and held on for a second longer before letting go.

"I need to inform the Seraphim of our pact" said Gabriel "I'll meet you two later on" and flew off.

The two walked over to the inner part of the city where Michael and Gabriel had their pavilion "You are welcomed to stay with Gabriel and myself since we know about the pact with Viktor and know about his aura within you or you can stay in the infirmary if you feel the need to bask a bit more"

Yuuri thought of his time in isolation and shuddered "I think I'll stay with you and Gabriel if it's alright….I don't want to impose either"

Michael laughed "I wouldn't offer if you did Yuuri. We will come and go regularly as is the norm for us but we could also use the time to train you a bit more"

Yuuri brightened at the thought. To be taught to fight by the twins was an honor only few got. Last apprentice they had was Uriel and that was some time ago.

"I would be honored Michael" he said smiling wide.

Michael smiled softly at him. He really was a bright creature and he loved him all the more for it.

Arriving at the pavilion Michael debated then decided he hardly used it so he showed Yuuri to his own quarters "I know you still require rest from time to time so you can use mine while you are here. I don't use it…" he looked around this room "As a matter of fact I cannot remember last time I used it"

Yuuri snorted "Seriously?" he asked looking at the angels expression as he looked around his room.

Michael nodded "If I require rest I usually just lay down on one of the chairs out by the meeting area"

Yuuri walked in fascinated at the different objects in the room. Several pieces of ancient armor propped up along some of the wall, spears leaned against the wall with golden tips, shields and swords. Several scrolls of maps lay either laid out or in rolls on a long table in front of a modest size bed.

Old Latin scrolls sat on bookshelves while beautiful tapestries decorated the walls in hues of red, gold, green and soft browns.

The wall was painted in a soft brown giving it a homey feel to it, the ceiling had a skylight that let in lots of natural light that one could bask in peacefully. There were two more tables on either side of the wall, one held a box, a lantern, several quills, a helmet that was propped on top of the lantern and scrolls. The other table was clear of any paper but held several odd looking metal flat round things that looked a lot like pocket watches.

Walking up to the table he picked one up and turned to Michael "What are these?"

Michael smiled taking it from him and twisted it this way with the knobs on the side "An invention of mine that I use to use against demons" he poured some of his light into the little device then dropped it on the floor where it ticked and opened at the seam. Golden light poured from it for a few seconds before it vanished the little device closing again.

He went to pick it up and handed it over to Yuuri "I tinker when I feel restless" he admitted with a shy smile.

Yuuri found this oddly endearing. He had always admired the twins and knew he had a better relationship with them than most other angels but hearing Michael who was a legend to his people admit to doing something so very….human, was very amusing.

Yuuri looked down at the object "It's very ingenious" he commented "Why did you stop using them?"

"They were not as effective as I would have liked" he said then looked at his work desk "I have not come in here to tinker with them in many years"

Yuuri frowned, he found this a bit sad "Why? They are a good idea"

Michael shrugged "My focus has been on something else" he did say that it was Yuuri who stole his focus. It was not his place to say.

Yuuri could tell something was on his mind but did not pry.

"Could you teach me?" he asked finding he really did want to find out a bit more on the objects and hopefully bring Michael's love of tinkering back to him.

Michael looked at Yuuri. He knew the danger of being close to him, of spending any more time than what was required but the offer was too tempting to resist.

"If you would like" he said softly.

He could feel his twin approaching so he excused himself and walked out of his room and away from his own personal temptation.

Gabriel landed and walked in to the sitting area "I have notified the Seraphim that Yuuri has returned and was still pure and told them of the pack me we made. They do not mind Yuuri being here as long as he is pure…." He then looked around and turned to his brother "Where is Yuuri? Did he go to the infirmary?"

Michael sighed and shook his head.

Gabriel looked at his brother before he gave him a hard looked, stood up and walked over to his brother's quarters. Yuuri lay on the bed asleep. He shook his head then walked back out and sat where he left Michael.

"You are playing a dangerous game brother" he said to him gravely "I know you love him….I know but…" he sighed. What could he say? That he preferred to leave Yuuri to the demon? No he did not want that either. What he wanted was for his brother to be happy but he did not want him to lose his wings. Michael was vital to their realm and he never thought he would see the day he ended up losing his heart to anyone.

In the end he would do what made his brother happy "Just…..be careful" he said finally "Viktor is not going to be amused if he finds out about your attachment to his mate"

Michael grimaced "Must you call him that? And I have already told myself that Yuuri is beyond my reach. He loves Viktor for some odd reason and I am going to respect that because for the time being the demon is actually doing what is best for him"

Gabriel let out a sigh of relief. He knew his brother had more honor, he was just happy that he was proven right yet again. Michael may love Yuuri but he would never step in the way if he felt that it would hurt the young angel.

"So….they thing they can hide and protect the sweet little angel" the dark angel smirked his pointed teeth. He had been listening and watching to reports from his demons and shadows of both the angel named Yuuri and Viktor.

The very idea that they thought they could protect the angel was really quaint.

He will have that angel withering in pain once he figured out how to bypass Viktor's protection. He growled low as he paced. Viktor was proving to be more and more of a nuisance than ever. He should have been flattered when he offered the silver hair demon a place by his side. Instead he mocks and laughs at him, flexing that power that should have been his.

He will have Viktor…one way or another weather it's shriving in pain as he striped the flesh off of him….or moaning as he fucked him into submission. Either way worked for him or perhaps he would do both before he absorbed his powers and killed him.

He wasn't an idiot, he knew he couldn't keep him alive. Pity really…he really was quite handsome.

The key to getting those powers lay with the angel the shadow lord was infatuated with.

He scoffed, of all the stupidest things he have ever heard, an angelic mate to a demon was by far the one that topped the cake. An angel would have to fall to be a mate to a demon and fall hard. That irritating little angel was too damn pure to ever be a mate to Viktor and the stupid fuck didn't even realize it. He was going to end up killing the very angel he was so determined to protect.

He suppose he could be merciful and kill him first and spare the shadow lord the agony of finding the angel dead in their bed…..

Oh decisions decisions…

Then a thought occurred to him. He could disguise himself as Viktor to get to the angel. Oh he was sure that the simpering little thing will tell he wasn't Viktor the moment he got closer but it would give him just enough time to seal his doom.

"So many plots…so little time" he laughed enjoying the thoughts of just how much pain he could inflict.
