Nyssa's POV

I facepalmed as Dad failed at another joke attempt. He and Mom were having a date night at Ozzie's in the Lust Ring later hence the visit. I loved my father but he sucked at telling jokes. I was in the hotel's auditorium alongside some others.

"Damn it I need to learn a few pointers from you Alastor," Dad told my fiance. Alastor smirked and I watched as the Radio Demon whispered something in the Lord of the Dead's air. Dad in turn grinned before telling the new joke. This one turned out to be hilarious and I was laughing my ass off alongside Mom, Charlie, Vaggie, Husk, Niffty, and the imps.

"Yo Hades before you and Rayne head on out how about a game of poker?" Husk inquired with a rare grin.

"Oh, your on" was my parent's response.

With a snap of his fingers, Dad summoned a poker table and it wasn't long until a game was in full swing.

"You aren't going to join your parents my Fiery Rose?" Alastor asked coming up to my side. He picked up my left hand and kissed it.

"Not this time, that was a good joke you had Dad tell"

"In all honesty my sweet I'm surprised your father likes me" the Radio Demon confessed looking a tad bit embarrassed.

"My father adores you Alastor and trust me his affections aren't earned that easily"

"Sometimes it's hard to believe he's scary when angered" Charlie added. "For someone who's supposedly evil, Hades is laid back"

Mom swore and she smacked Dad on the arm. I guess she had a bad hand and Dad had a good one.

"Hey, boss?"

Charlie looked at Tex as he approached us. From the look on his face, something was wrong.

"Angel is in the office with his friend Cherri Bomb, and he looks like he got a beat down" the Hell Hound explained. Immediately I transported myself out of the auditorium and into the hotel's office where I found Angel and Cherri.

"What the f**k happened Angel?" I questioned the spider demon taking in his injuries. His right eye was now black due to it being sucker punched. He had various cuts and bruises on him and his suit was torn up.

"Valentino's thugs jumped him" Cherri Bomb answered my question. Cherri was one of Angel's buds and she was hard not to like. I gave her a grateful pat on the shoulder for bringing him to the safety of the hotel.

Charlie and Vaggie joined us with some water and disinfectant. I made Angel take off his suit leaving him only in his shorts and boots. The two of them left so Angel could be left alone with people he was comfortable being around and I began to work on cleaning his cuts. As I disinfected his injuries I did my best not to lose my cool.

The mere fact some asshole sent his thugs after Angel pissed me off.

"Who is this Valentino?" I inquired.

"He's my former boss" was Angel's response. "He's a sinner and an Overlord, awhile back I left his employment and besides working here, I just got hired at a club not far from the hotel, unlike the place Valentino runs this new gig is better, and plus the owner looks out for his staff"

"And Valentino didn't like you ditching him"

"Pretty much and he was abusive too"

That made me even angrier. If there was one thing I couldn't stand it was someone being abusive.

"Hey Nyssa, I'll take over" Cherri offered.

I thanked her and I stood up.

"Shit Nys, you need to relax" Angel suggested seeing my body was shaking in anger. My skin was already orange and sparks of fire ignited on the ends of my hair.

"Angel I'm trying my best not to set this entire office on fire"

"You can't blame her for getting angry Angie" Cherri pointed out. "F**k I'm pissed too"

Her words got me to calm down. My skin returned to normal and I took a deep breath. Cherri finished cleaning Angel up and the spider demon looked much better but his black eye was going to take a few days to heal.

"I'm gonna crash here until things calm down"

He then smirked.

"Ya know I'm wondering if I could borrow your Mom as a bodyguard, Nys"

"WHO THE F**K BEAT YOU UP?!

I facepalmed while Angel and Cherri jumped at Mom's angry outburst. The Goddess of Resurrection was angry. Seeing she spooked Angel and Cherri, my mother calmed down before going into overprotective mode and she began to fret over Angel. The spider demon blushed and reassured the worried goddess he was fine.

Later.

Still Nyssa's POV

"Alastor how much longer do I have to keep this damn blindfold on?" I demanded from the Radio Demon.

"Be patient my sweet"

I heard my Jorraelagon snap his fingers and I felt my clothing being messed with. Thankfully we were at home. I then felt Alastor messing with the blindfold and soon it was completely removed from my eyes.

"Take a good look at yourself my beautiful goddess" Alastor suggested before conjuring a mirror. I looked at my reflection and my jaw dropped.

My fiance completely changed my wardrobe and my new clothes were awesome. I wore a black tank top with matching jeans and boots. But that wasn't the best part, it was the dark blue sleeveless jacket that went down to my heels. On the edges of the jacket were black flames and I wore black fingerless gloves on my hands. Around my neck on a silver chain was my engagement ring.

"By the look on your face you love it" Alastor interrupted my daydreaming.

"You got that right" I confirmed looking at the Radio Demon. "I can get used to this new look"

Alastor chuckled before pulling me into him.

"I wanted to spoil my bride a little" he admitted.

"You already do when you cook for me my Jorraelagon"

My mate picked up my left hand and kissed it.

"The next month better pass quickly I'm running out of patience"

"Hey, you do want my dress to be perfect right?" I asked placing a finger against his forehead. "And you're not going to destroy it when our wedding night comes or else"

"I have no intention of destroying your dress" he began. "And I intend on having you screaming on our wedding night"

"You already have me doing that when we have sex" I countered. I then peeled back his jacket away from his throat and slowly licked a vulnerable spot. The Radio Demon shivered in delight when I did that. "And in turn, I plan on having you under my control some during our wedding night"

"And I will gladly submit to you, as you will to me"

I smacked my mate's shoulder in reprimand.

"Don't get me to have a nosebleed" I scolded him.

The Radio Demon chuckled again before kissing my forehead. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my own forehead against his.

"It won't be long until I am your wife, and you my husband but until then we have to wait"

"You have no idea how sexy that sounded coming from lips my Fiery Rose" Alastor purred.

"Hey whenever you laugh darkly it's also sexy as is your smirk"

"And I thought it was my choice of words that made you get all flustered"

"That too"

Alastor then on purpose chuckled darkly again before taking my lips into his so I wouldn't have a nosebleed.

I don't hate Valentino but I don't like him due to his treatment of Angel. Also Rayne worrying over Angel like the mama bear she is! Talk about aww!
