Nyssa's POV
"The nerve of this guy" I spat as I burned another love letter from Callum Serpentine. For a while now the entitled dragon demon had been sending me constant love letters, flowers, gifts, etc in hoping to woo me. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
"Guys like Serpentine don't stop until they get what they want" Angel pointed out while eating a box of chocolates that had been part of Callum's gift entourage.
The spider demon and I were lounging on the hotel patio.
"Well, I'm not a damn possession to be owned" I answered. I read a poor attempt of a poem and rolled my eyes. "This guy can't even write a poem, what do I gotta do to get this guy to back off?!"
At that outburst, I went into flaming mode and my fire scorched everything around me. Including Angel and Callum's gifts.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry Angie!"
I hurried over to the spider demon to see if I didn't burn him too badly.
"I'm good babe don't worry" Angel reassured me as he wiped off the soot from his body. His clothes were still in one piece thank god. "Yo Nys, you're still on fire"
Arching an eyebrow I conjured a mirror and sure enough, my hair was still alight. My skin was back to normal however and within my mind both of my inner beasts were restless. I calmed myself down and after my hair returned to its normal shade of red I summoned a book.
"Oh boy! Gotta clean up this mess!" Niffty shouted as she began to do her obsessive cleaning.
"Whoa! Nyssa, did you flame out again?" Pain asked as he and Panic came out to see what was going on.
"Yeah, I did" I answered while opening the book and frantically began to look through the pages.
"Hey what are you looking for Nys?" Angel wondered coming up to my side.
"In a sec Angie," I told the spider demon before I found what I was looking for. I read the contents and my face went red.
Angel took the book and read what I had just finished.
"Your showing mating signs?"
"WHAT?!" Pain and Panic yelled.
Embarrassed I transported us to my room so no one else would hear.
"Yeah, it looks like I am" I finally answered Angie.
"Girl you shouldn't be embarrassed by this, you did come to Hell for a husband after all" Angel reminded me putting the book down.
"Yeah, Your Prettiness!" Pain agreed.
"Wait a minute, Nyssa are you thinking Alastor isn't your mate?" Panic questioned.
My silence was their answer. Even though I was dating the Radio Demon it didn't mean he was my mate.
"F**k Nys," Angel said before hugging me.
"Alastor is your mate without a doubt Nyssa" Panic continued. The teal imp then whined when Pain bonked him on the head.
"He's right Nys, I got a good feeling that loudmouth is your mate" Angel added. "But you should talk to Alastor about this"
"Yeah I need to"
"Aw now there's that smile I adore so freaking much"
Angel then kissed my forehead before someone from downstairs yelled. Angel, Pain, Panic, and I all shot WTF looks before I transported us back out to the patio.
"What the hell happened here?" Vaggie wondered eying the dead flowers, letters, poems, etc. I was about to answer when Alastor decided to sneak up from behind me and kiss my cheek. He then noticed the burnt pile of crap in front of Vaggie.
"Callum Serpentine has been sending Nys gifts" Angel explained.
"You got to be shitting me" Vaggie growled.
Alastor's once playful demeanor was gone and he looked angry.
He's jealous my inner phoenix informed me.
She was right.
Hoping to calm the Radio Demon down I grabbed hold of his suit collar and claimed a kiss. The kiss did the trick and my beloved Radio Demon relaxed.
"Well, my dear that was quite a welcome" Alastor said. His signature smirk was back on his lips and that alone made me almost go up in flames again. Charlie saved the day by telling Alastor the monthly meeting was about to start.
Later at Alastor's House.
Still Nyssa's POV
"Something is bothering you Nyssa" Alastor stated after we finished dinner.
My boyfriend once again pulled off another good meal. For the hell of it, I wore my normal dark blue dress and boots. The Radio Demon stood up and walked to my side. He picked my hand up and kissed it before giving me a look of reassurance.
"I want to know what is upsetting you my Fiery Rose, so I can ease your mind"
I suggested we head to the living room and we did so. Once we sat down I took a breath before finally speaking. I told Alastor about my recent flare-ups, of how restless my inner beasts were and what they meant.
"Mating signs?"
"Yeah that's what's going on and I'm"
I stopped because I felt tears coming to my eyes. Mom and Dad said if you loved someone you would know and I knew it now. I loved Alastor and the thought of him not being my mate hurt like hell. Alastor brought me into his lap and he wiped my tears away.
"How long have you had these feelings for me?"
"For awhile now"
The Radio Demon then proceeded to intertwine a clawed hand into mine and brought it to his lips.
"Know this Nyssa, I am yours, and you have my heart"
Then to prove his point he claimed my lips with his. Then two things happened at once. An image of Alastor formed in my mind and both my inner phoenix and dragon flew around him. This meant only one thing.
"It would seem I've calmed you down" Alastor teased after our kiss ended. I then caught the Radio Demon off guard when I gave him a mind-blowing kiss of my own. When I pulled away Alastor was blushing.
"It's always been you my Jorraelagon, you are the one I was meant to find"
"Nyssa, are you saying what I think you are saying?"
"You are my mate, Alastor and fate has given you to me"
For a moment Alastor didn't move but then he pulled me into a hug. My arms went around his neck and I placed my forehead against his.
"I love you Alastor"
The Radio Demon claimed a quick kiss before pulling away.
"And I love you my beautiful Nyssa, and I want to show you I mean it, but only if you want to"
"Then by all means show me"
The Radio Demon then smirked before picking me up into his arms and we disappeared from the living room via his shadow magic.
