First book takes place a couple years prior to this day !! I suggest reading 'Casino Of Love' before this book but still makes sense without it xxx

Husk POV

"All in!" I grinned ear to ear and stared into the soul of the demon across from me. "Hmmm... okay me too all in." He said hesitantly. He put down his hand to reveal a full house. "Mmmm... not too bad." I mumbled. Poker was always my favourite card game, the thrill of risking it all meant everything to me. ALMOST everything. As I was about to place my hand onto the table I felt my phone going off in my pocket. "One second I need to take this." I said reaching into my pocket and holding my phone up to my ear. "Hello?" "HUSK! COME QUICK! THE BABY IS COMING." I almost dropped it to the floor. "SHIT. TAKE THIS, YOU WIN WHATEVER." I threw a stack of bills at my opponent and jumped out of my seat.

"FUCK!" I yelled and ran through the casino. I bolted past the lift straight to the stairs running up and up for what felt like forever until I reached the top floor. Completely out of breath, I ran to our bedroom and practically kicked down the door. "ANGEL??" It was impossible to see past all the doctors surrounding the bed where he was supposed to be. "OUT OF MY WAY!" I pushed past them right next to where Angel was laying. In one of his hands he was cradling something and reached for my paw with the other. He looked exhausted and his face was stained with running mascara. "Meet your daughter Husky." He smiled weekly and gave me a better look of the baby. She resembled a cat just like me, with a pair of wings and a long tail just like mine. She had white fur and and pink-tinted hair and ears. "Oh my gosh..." I mumbled. "Are you crying?" Angel giggled. "Nnnooo.." I sniffled and looked up. "Some privacy please, fuckers." I growled. All the staff quickly rushed out of the room leaving me and Angel alone. "You can hold her babe." He smiled and kissed her on the forehead before carefully reaching his arms out to hand her to me.

I cradled the baby in my arms as it slept so peacefully. "What are we naming her?" I asked. "I was thinking about that too. I liked the name Whiskey. It reminds me of you." Angel smiled and sunk into the bed closing his eyes. "What a fucking workout." He groaned. "Get some rest, I'll handle everything." "Thanks Kitty." He sighed. I rubbed Angel on the arm and looked back down at Whiskey. She stared at me with large doe eyes and nestled into my chest. Looking at her little face made me realise all the drama we went through for this was all worth it.

No one knew it was possible for sinners to conceive hellborns, that's why it was such a surprise to find out we somehow did. We knew it was dangerous, considering the exterminations, stalkers and that crazy bitch Valentino, but we both wanted this more than anything and decided to go through with it. But reality hit when the word spread like hell-fire. Katie Killjoy completely freaked out when she heard the news and a flooded the casino with microphones, cameras and flashing lights. After a couple weeks she got bored and moved onto to a new story, but now that Whiskey was actually born, I knew Katie would be on my tail, milking this situation into something exciting for the media.

-KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK-
I forgot I kicked all my staff and doctors out into the hallway and quickly rushed to the door and opened it. "Sorry." I laughed nervously. "Congratulations Husk Sir on a healthy baby girl. We will need you as the father, to sign the birth certificate." He shoved a piece of paper in my face and handed me a pen. It's hard to sign properly with a baby in your other arm and a paper basically touching my nose but I was just able to manage. "Okay and that will be-" he started. "Yeah, yeah this should cover it. Keep the change." I rolled my eyes and threw a cheque for 30 grand at their feet. "Now scram." I walked back into the bedroom and shut the door behind me.

Angel was now passed out on the bed motionless, I felt terrible he had to go through the whole childbirth process alone just because I tried to fit one quick gamble in. I gently put Whiskey down on the bed and then laid down next to the two of them. Whiskey rolled onto her side to face me and reached out her paw and touched my nose before letting out a small yawn and shutting her eyes. I spread my wings and wrapped them around her and Angel and fell asleep quickly.

"Shhh Whiskey, la mamma è qui." I heard a soft voice whisper. I squinted my eyes open to see Angel cradling Whiskey in his arms trying to calm her down. "Qual é il problema, amore mio?" he sighed. I yawned and sat up. "What's wrong?" I asked. Angel looked at me with tired eyes. "Whiskey won't stop crying. I don't know what she wants." he groaned. "Maybe she's hungry." I suggested and looked at my watch which read 9pm. "I need to go down into the casino soon for a gamble I planned a while back. I'll grab some formula from the kitchen to feed her." Angel handed Whiskey over and kissed me on the forehead. "Thanks babe, love you." He smiled weakly and laid back down on the bed. I quickly fixed up my hair and left the hotel room with Whiskey cradled in my left arm. I stepped into the lift and reached into my back pocket for a cigarette and lighter and lit it up.

As soon as I stepped out of the lift onto the 6th floor I was ambushed with my employees desperate to see the new baby. I knew they were gonna meet her sooner or later, but the massive crowd and sudden loudness was stressing Whiskey out even more. "You can talk to her later. Can someone just get me something she can drink?" I growled through my teeth and took another hit of my smoke. As my staff rushed away I saw something strange, it was the shadow of a tall figure rushing around a far corner into a staff only zone. "The fuck? WAIT!" I knew none of my staff members were that tall, so there was either some dickhead trying to steal something, or a brain dead demon going the wrong way. I quickly ran after him holding Whiskey close to my chest, supporting her head.

When I turned the corner the weird figure had run into a wall with no doors or any escape. "Dead end bitch." I smirked. As I watched him turn around to face me my heart sank into my stomach. "Husker! Long time no see baby~." He flirted. "Valentino." I hissed and threw my cigarette to the floor before grabbing Val by his fur and pulling him down to my level. "You know you're not welcome here anymore. It's been YEARS. Leave Angel be and FUCK OFF." Val looked completely unfazed and just continued to smile menacingly. "I just thought I'd visit." He looked down a bit and noticed Whiskey who was now asleep in my arm. "Who's this little brat?" He chuckled and touched her on the nose which made her let out a small sneeze. I swatted his hand away and took a few steps back. "Would be such a shame if anything were to happen hm?" He smirked. I growled and held Whiskey's head close to my chest. Val stood up straight and put each of his hands on his hips and continued to grin. "Don't you dare go anywhere near her prick. I'll have you fucking killed. SECURITY!!" I screamed. "If you really could, you would've done so by now. You haven't seen the last of me fuckboy." He said blankly and the room filled with a hot pink smoke which blinded me for a couple seconds.

Security came rushing around the corner to find me resting on my knees. "FUCK!" I punched the floor as hard as I could. "Who was here boss?" They asked as I got up. "YOU DIPSHITS. MAYBE IF YOU CAME QUICKER HE WOULDN'T HAVE DISAPPEARED!" I yelled and spread my wings. When I saw their terrified faces, I decided to take a deep breath and calm down. Nothing had actually happened before. Yes he has tried and tried but has never succeeded so why would he now? I looked down at Whiskey, she was coughing quietly from the smoke with her eyes squinted open slightly, looking into mine. It was then when I realised we couldn't take any risks, for her safety as well as Angel's.

"Listen closely because all your jobs are on the line here. I don't want her knowing ANYTHING about Valentino. Literally anything. Tell the rest of the staff to get rid of anything that has to do with him." I demanded and gestured for them to go away. They quickly scurried off to the main kitchen to tell the other staff members about the new rules. I held Whiskey close to me and kissed her on the head. "I'm not gonna let him do anything to you." I whispered.
