The Devil in Me

The Devil in Me Ch. 26

Chapter Twenty-Six:

Noah:

My eyes remained steady on Raisa.

She stood there staring back at me, a bit of confusion mixed with her trying to appear seductive.

Did she forget that I hated her?

To pick this girl over my mate?

This was clearly a fucking joke.

"So?" I asked.

"I shouldn't have to spell it out for you," she said, "We're both consenting adults."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"You really think I'll give in to that bullshit?"

She looked irritated.

"I told you from day one I didn't want to fuck you," I stated, "Why do you always show up in front of me when I'm at my weakest?"

"I have eyes," she stated, "And I have ears."

"Just because you have a hole doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you anymore," I hissed.

What was the matter with me?

I was angry, and I was hurt.

Raisa was going to get all of it.

She just stared at me.

It didn't look like my words phased her.

"You say that now," she shrugged.

"I'll keep saying it," I stated.

A grin dominated her once stoic face.

"Like I said," she said, "You aren't the first pent-up Devil in the program."

Do others really seek comfort outside of their mate once they find them?

That sounded ridiculous to me.

Then again, I probably wouldn't have put much thought into it either way before.

The pull towards Shay was too strong.

Even the thought of touching someone else made me sick.

"Are you finished?" I asked her.

"I don't have to be," she said.

"Get out," I said flatly.

"Don't be such a girl," Raisa spat, "Suddenly you find your mate, and now you're too good for me?"

"No," I said.

I didn't even have to think about it.

"She is better than you," I stated, "She is better than me."

She made a disgusted face.

"She deserves better than me," I stated, "I'm going to make sure that one day I do deserve her."

Raisa just stood there shaking her head slightly.

"She is human," she stated, "How many Devils have you heard of actually stayed with their mate?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but I didn't know.

How many Devils were with their mate after the program?

Eileen was one of the few I knew about that was mated to a human.

They were probably only still together because of who he is.
