Luna Rising

SIXTY SIX

Before reading...

I want to apologize for the late update. The past two weeks (almost three weeks) were pretty hectic. I was busy catching up with work because of my one-week vacation in Hawaii. So I had over time.

Second, a relative of mine was sent to the hospital because of a stroke. She was in critical condition, so my family and I drove to Las Vegas to visit her. Then a day after seeing her, she has gone with God. It was devastating for our family, especially for my uncle. That's his sister. We attended the funeral a couple of days ago for her final resting.

So, like I said l, the past two weeks were pretty hectic, and I was in writer's block mode. Being in that hospital reminded me of when my grandmother was there. It was hard not to cry, but thinking of my grandmother made me depressed.

I'm back and ready to return to my world of writing. Thank you all for understanding and being patient with me.

Now back to the story. 

——————————————

Walking hand in hand, I found Dad and the others huddled in a group when their eyes landed on us, curious and suspicious about where Dominic and I had been.

Heat rash spread across my face.

"Your face is red, babe," Dominic says through our private mind link.

I glare at him, and he chuckles.

I elbowed him in the side, but he was still laughing.

"Master, why do I smell the sweat and...erotic coming from the two of you?" Saye asks as she and Arlo pull on a smirk.

Damn, those sex demons.

"Oh my god! Did you two finally do it?" Camila squealed excitedly.

My face heats up even more.

Oh god, this is embarrassing.

This awkward situation is worse because my Dad knows I had sex with Dominic. The look in his eyes, I can't tell if he's upset with me or if it is something else, and talking about sex is making things more complicated.

"Saye, don't make Master uncomfortable," Kaze turns his head as I pat his head for praise.

I need to change the subject. I clear my throat. "Anyways, I have something to tell you, Dad."

"What is it?"

"One of Demir's generals came for a visit."

He lifts his brow. "How?"

I swallow hard as I gently pull out a handkerchief and unveil the corpse of a fairy. Everyone around us gasped, frightened.

"Remi!" A small voice cried as she flew over my hand and held the deceased. "Oh, my child, Who did this to you?"

"I'm sorry," I said to the grieving fairy. "If only I have the power to bring her back, but..."

My resurrection magic only works on demons. It's the power that was passed down from the first Demon King.

Even with that power, I still feel hopeless.

"A demon used this fairy to infiltrate this base," I explained.

"How?" Asked another fairy.

Dad approached me and examined my hand. He hovers his hand over the dead fairy as his magic flows.

"Dad, what is it?"

He pulls his hand away as his eyes glow bright red. Dad is angry.

"Dad?"
