As soon as Angel and I get home I look for Alastor and meet with him in private. "What is all of this about, Husker? I was in the middle of eating my dinner." I wrinkled my nose at the thought of what he could have been eating for dinner, "We need to talk where there aren't any tv cameras." Alastor snapped his fingers and teleported us to his bedroom.

Relieved, I continued with my explanation, "we have a common enemy. I have reason to believe that Vox was behind the Demetrius's attack." Alastor raises an eyebrow and moves over to sit in his sofa and gestures with his hands, "go on..." I let out a heavy sigh, "when I was visiting with Demetrius in the hospital, he told me that he saw Vox when he was being attacked but that was the most that he could remember before he blacked out and became unconscious." Alastor moves his staff around through his fingers, "if what you're saying is true, we do indeed have a common enemy.

As you know I own Demetrius's soul which means if he messes with him, he's messing with me." I sit down in the chair across from him, "so what's our next course of action?" "We'll come back to that but something tells me that you're here for something more." I rolled my eyes in annoyance because he was right. I did in fact have other interests.

I let out a sigh, "I want to make a deal to purchase my son from you." He raises his eyebrow in interest, "and what, pray tell would I receive in return for this exchange?" I let out a heavy sigh, "what is it that you want?" "Oh, something simple really.

Something that you'd be more than happy to do anyways." I roll my eyes in annoyance, "and what might that be?" He grins wildly before grabbing two glasses and his bottle of Brandy and pours a glass for the both of us, "I simply just want you to kill Vox and Velvette and bring me back their body parts so that I might feast off of them." I accept the glass of Brandy, "so... you don't want my soul back?" His eyes widen before he takes a sip from his glass, "heavens no!

I never look back my dear friend it distracts from the now." I shrug my shoulders, "sounds like a fair deal to me. No other hidden agendas?" He shakes his head. I opened my hand and offer to shake his, "okay, deal."

He illuminated in a bright green glow and shook my hand thus sealing the deal. Demetrius's signed contract manifested before me and I stuffed it into my jacket. "A pleasure making a deal with you as always, Husker my friend." I scoffed at him and set down the empty glass and left his room before closing the door behind me. I decided at that point to go upstairs to my room to spend time with Angel.

I get to my room and opened the door to see my sweetheart laying down on the bed completely knocked out and drooling on the pillow. I chuckled to myself and locked our door before getting undressed and climbing into bed next to him. I propped my head up with my hand and combed my claws through his hair. He smiles with his eyes still closed before smacking his lips comfortably. I smiled and leaned in and kissed him on the cheek and pull the blankets up and around him, tucking him in slightly.

This however wakes him up a bit. "Hmm? Husky... that you?" I grinned at him as he's squinting his eyes at me still half asleep. "Hi, baby..." I say sweetly before kissing him on the lips. He lets out a groan and stretches before turning on his side to face me.

What was it that you had to talk to Alastor about?" I let out a heavy sigh knowing that he might not agree with my latest deed, "I told Alastor that Vox attacked Demetrius. Then..." He sits up in the bed and looks down at me. "Then what?"

He says with concern in his voice sounding more awake than earlier. I flattened my ears and laid on my back before crossing my arms across my chest, "I made a deal with Alastor." "Husky!" I blush bright red, "I know, I know but I had to." "What do you mean?"

He asks still sounding worried. I let out a sigh and looked down at the foot of the bed, "because he owns Demetrius's soul and well,... as long as Vox is alive, Demetrius is in danger. I'm sure Vox ease dropped on our conversation using the security camera at the hotel and found out that he's my son. Since I was the one who killed Valentino, it only makes sense that he would harm Demetrius to get back at me." He lets out a sigh, "do you have proof of all of this?"

"Well, Demetrius told me that he saw Vox at the time that he was attacked." He lays back down and props his head up on one of his hands and wraps his other arm around my waist, "Daniel, I know there's something you're still not telling me." I let out a heavy sigh knowing that he wasn't going to let this go. I looked into his eyes, "I bought Demetrius's soul from Alastor and in exchange I have to kill Vox and Velvette." Angel's eyes widen, "Did you at least tell Demetrius you were going to do this BEFORE you did it."

I flattened my ears and looked away, "uh... no." He lets out a sigh and places a hand to his face, "Husk, you know Demetrius isn't going to take this well, right? I mean, you bought his soul without even consulting with him first. Are you a glutton for punishment? He's already hurt and mad at you for the past and now, he's going to be even more mad at you because you didn't confide in him.

He's not a kid anymore, honey so he's going to think that you don't trust him. Especially since he grew up without you, he's not going to take it well that you're just now trying to protect him. I mean, I'm not trying to be an asshole, baby but I'm just trying to see things from his perspective and I just worry that you didn't think this through." I groaned and sat up in bed and turned to the side and placed my feet on the floor. I placed my head in my hands and flattened my ears, "I know, babe.

I know. You're right, I didn't think it through. I just didn't want him to be treated like shit by him like I was. I was thinking that at least with me owning his soul, I can keep a closer eye on him and keep him safe. I also thought that by doing this, I don't know, maybe I could help him to get out of his contract somehow.

I mean, I am an overlord again so, at least now I have the power to set him free." He lets out a sigh and crawls up behind me and wraps his top set of arms around my shoulders and the lower set around my waist and places his chin on my shoulder, "I know you meant well, Baby. You just gotta remember that he's not a little boy anymore. I know it's hard but you've got to give him some space to spread his wings and be his own person. I think, on the other hand, you setting him free might make him become closer to you because there's no stronger sign of love than letting go and setting someone free.

I don't know though, it's kind of complicated now. I'll be here to support you no matter what happens." I grabbed one of his hands from my shoulder and kissed the back of his hand, "thanks, Caro." He lets out a little sigh and I can feel him smiling behind me. "Angel?"

"Hmm?" He asks placing his chin back on my shoulder. I turned my head around and pulled his lips to mine and kissed him passionately, "I love you."
