Devil's Triad: Fallen

Chapter 16

Callie

Dream

I'm in the forest again. The dogs are on me closing in. I come to a clearing and see a wolf like creature snarling at me forcing me to stop dead in my tracks. The dogs have caught up to me and have surrounded me. Ivan's voice rings in my head. "You will never escape me, Princess. As long as I live, I will torment you. You will be mine." I stand my ground and shout. "No, you have no power over me!"

All of a sudden, I feel movement and my name being yelled. "Princess! Callie! Wake up!" I can hear his laughter as I open my eyes.

Zane stares down at me with a look of concern. "Princess are you ok?" I try to sit up but fall back against toe mattress. My hand goes to my head massaging my temples. "Where are..." Dante and Dameon rush to my side. Dante pulls me into his chest. "We're right here." Dameon turned to Zane and dismisses him. He bows and leaves us. "Your uncle, he was the one who was causing my nightmares." Dante stroked my hair as tried to soothe me. "It's part of his gift." I cock my head to the side pondering what my men's gifts could be. My mind instantly went to their very large cocks. I know I turned about five shades darker just thinking about them. "So, what are your gifts?" Trying to play it off. I know they saw it by the smirks they wore on their faces. "We share our gifts since we are twins. Greed and Lust." I think about what the councilmember had said. "They said mine is to be Wrath." They both turn to each other and smile. "Yes. A gift that has been deemed one of the seven deadly sins is considered only to be gifted to those of high-born status." Dante said as he looked at me affectionally. Dameon came to sit next to me. "The gifts choose us. A lot of it based on our personality." I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips. "So, what are you guys are greedy sluts basically?" They looked between one another and nodded. "Yes." Dante sat next to me and continued to look at me with fire in his eyes. "We were your typical man whores. We liked the bar you worked at because of the men. They always wanted more. More money, power, women. You name it. It was easy pickings for us." I thought about what they said. "How does it work? I mean if someone is angry...? I mean it's Wrath. What's so special about that?"

Dante got up and stood and went to the wet bar that was in the room. He poured us all a glass of who knows what. As he came back, he handed me a glass of amber liquid and by the smell it was bourbon and not the cheap stuff either. "No. It's a little more complex than that." Dameon took a swig of his drink. "You saw how you took your anger and threw it at our uncle?" I shrugged and took a long swig of the bourbon. "Yeah?" Dante pulled a chair up in front of me. "How it works, is you would find people who have been wronged by a person or a group and give them a way to get even in return they give you their soul." I lean against Dameon. His arm wraps around my waist as I lay my head on his shoulder. "It sounds exhausting. I mean what if the person isn't exactly innocent in why or how they were "wronged?" I mean they could lie to get back at someone because of the wrong reason and an innocent person is harmed or worse. I don't know if I can handle that." Dameon squeezed me. "The great part about being who we are, Princess, is we can dictate how the gift is given. If a person comes to you wanting to take out their boss, let's say. They tell you their boss is horrible and needs to pay for the way they treat them. We always investigate our targets before we move forward to decide how we wish to give our "help" and if we find that the person was exaggerating the truth or whatever the case is. We can choose to lessen the punishment. It's the perk of being a demon. We can do whatever the fuck we want. See we don't normally give a crap who gets hurt because we were born into this, you on the other hand were not and have the heart of an angel which makes harming another hard for you." Dante finishes his drink and kneels between my legs. "Enough talk for now. How are you feeling, Callie?"
