Mammon and his difficult mate

Layla knocked on the door and a stunning woman answered.

"This is McKenna, Nyx's wife, McKenna, this is my mate Levi and his brother Mammon," Layla tells her with a big smile. McKenna smiled brightly and hugged Layla.

"Good looking mate you got yourself dear," she whispered softly and offered both me and my brother a hand. We took turns giving it a shake and she eyed Leviathan strangely.

"Come on in, our grandchildren are visiting," McKenna grinned. All three of us headed into an amazing living room with a large tree growing up the center and glass walls. We turned to the couches and my mouth dropped open at the lovely young woman with black roots and white hair. Her silver eyes looked up at my blue ones and she blinked several times to see if I was real. I watched her full lips turn to a slight grin. I met Nyx, the woman named Shayla and her brother Rathal. I was told they were Nyx's son Ryker's kids. I nodded to the pair of siblings, keeping my eyes on Shayla. I pulled Leviathan's arm down.

"Hey bro, I think I found my mate," I whispered harshly to him and he grins devilishly.

"Go shake her hand or sit by her idiot, you won't know for certain by standing there awkwardly," he belittled me. I flipped him off and headed toward the stunning beauty. I offered her my hand and she eyed me curiously. Once her skin touched mine I smiled deeply feeling the tingle and paused when I saw her brow start to furrow.

"Your my mate and a fucking demon," she sneered pulling her hand from mine.

"No fucking way, I'd rather be mates with livestock or even a human," she continued to ramble bitterly. I pressed the space between my eyes and cursed my grandfather God.

"Truly grandfather, why do you insist on making this difficult," I mumbled sadly and shook my head, going back towards my brother and his lovely willing mate. Her brother Rathal had watched the entire incident and berated his sister. A knock at the door made everyone pause and Nyx opened the door to my father and king Keran.

"I see you've all met my relatives, treat them kindly," Keran said firmly. I eyed Shayla and saw she was shocked by Keran's announcement. I winked at her when her eyes fell on me. She glared at me and I chuckled softly knowing that fate was indeed a cruel bitch. Rathal was speaking harshly to his sister and I heard her mention that we didn't even have powers. I eyed her and snapped my fingers creating a small storm cloud above her head. She looked up just as a tiny bolt of lightning flashed and a miniature downpour covered her head. Yes it was completely immature of me but I laughed heartily at the look she gave me. I was one of Lucifer's fortunate sons that gained several mystical talents. My personal sin Greed inspired me to work to gain several. However I never acquired the ability to create binds and currently Shayla is standing before me glaring at me through damp bangs with golden ropes imprisoning me. Looks like you've gained her attention, brother, Leviathan chuckled in my mind. I swallowed uncomfortably as Shayla glared at Keran and told him she wanted to fight me.

"I will not fight a woman and certainly not one that's my mate," I growled angrily pulling against the gold binds. Nyx snapped his fingers and removed them eyeing his granddaughter in disappointment.

"Shayla, Mammon is a prince of the humans hell, I would treat him with some respect as they are relatives of our realm king," Nyx states. Shayla chewed on her lip and sighed.

"Grandfather, he, he's my mate, I felt it when we shook hands," she mumbled angrily. Nyx eyed me curiously and grinned slightly as he headed towards me.

"Mammon, speak with her father, you need to understand the stubborn welp," he whispered to me softly. Another knock and Nyx said it would be his son Ryker. I was shocked, Shayla was the female version of her father. Both had the same coloring and prideful dispositions. Her father had a blue face tattoo that intrigued me. Nyx spoke with him privately for a moment before the tall man approached me. He offered me his hand and I shook it firmly. Ryker smiled at me.
