Criminal Love - Alastor X Female Reader

Chapter 40 - Rival

Few days later

"Hey (Y/N)? Are you busy?" Vaggie asked as you were just about to head upstairs to check how Alastor was getting on in his office.

"No, why? What's up?" You frowned. "I need your help with something, and well, you're the only one I can get proper advice for on this one and understand."

She then sighed. "Charlie and I anniversary is coming up, and I was considering... pro-" You interrupted her with an excited squeal. Vaggie's eyes widened, and she quickly covered your mouth with her hand.

"Shhh!!!" She hissed, pulling her hand away as you couldn't help but feel all giddy still. "Oh my god! Yes, yes, I'm coming. Let's go!!" You turned her around, pushing her towards the exit when Alastor manifested in front of it.

"And where's my darling off to today?"

"Shopping! Move!"

"You seem rather excited for shopping, my dear?" He asked, getting curious.

"Because it's a girl day out. I need it!" You said narrowing your eyes. "Hmm, I suppose. I can never understand you females and find the joys of shopping for hours. I guess it's no harm in that. Just be safe, my dear, and try to keep that cute little mouth of yours quiet. It'd be ashame for me to... intervene."

"No, it won't. You enjoy killing." You snorted as he chuckled to that. "Fair enough." He shrugged. "Enjoy your outings today."

As you were about to leave, Alastor gently grasped your arm. "May we have a conversation later, perhaps over dinner?" He whispered.

The urgency in his gaze was evident.

With a gentle smile, you responded, "Sure, Al."

"This is cute." You said as Vaggie stared at it. "Eh... not really, Charlie." She said as you were scanning at the rings in the jewellery store. As you admired the shiny jewels behind the glass. Vaggie glanced down at your wedding band.

"Where did Alastor find that one? It's actually beautiful." Vaggie complimented as you raised your left hand, staring at it with so much love. "It's... a family ring. Alastor mother gave it to him to propose to me." You sighed, having so much love from his mother.

Vaggie smiled sadly at you. "It's like a part of her is still with us. That's why Alastor is very attached to the ring."

"It makes sense." Vaggie replied as she looked back at all the rings until one spotted her eye. She gasped, pointing to it. "That one!" "I agree!" You smiled.

You and Vaggie decided to spend the rest of the day bitching more about heaven and Adam going through different variety of shops tha would peak your interest.

That was until you bumped into someone as they caught you by your forearms.

"My apologies dear. I wasn't watching where I was going." He chuckled.

You glanced at the demon, your gaze lingering for a moment on its peculiar television-like head. Vox, having observed the demoness through his drone, acknowledged her presence as the Vees spectated the unfolding battle.

Why would an ex angel like herself protect the radio demon, and why did the radio demon save an angel like her?

He was extremely pissed that you stopped Adam from destroying him, but now he was quite intrigued and fascinated with what your relationship is with the overlord.

"The name Vox, and you are sweetheart?"

"(Y/N) nice to uh meet you." You nervously chuckled. You got a bad feeling about him, not that every demon is innocent around here, but something about him screams trouble.
