Later that night, Alastor met me in my room as I was braiding my hair.

"Good evening my dear. I hope everything is well" Alastor grinned as he walked towards me.

I ignored him.

He tapped the microphone on his cane "hello, is this thing on"

I ignored him again

"Is this about the deal with Charlie?"

I turned to him finally "yes"

"I didn't take her soul, I don't see an issue with it"

"Are you kidding me?! You don't see an issue with it. Charlie has done nothing but open up her arms to you. You manipulated her this entire time."

He just laughed

"This isn't funny. How could you? For a moment, I believed" I didn't finish my statement. I was upset, pissed, agitated. All of those words.

"Believed what? That I was turning fully good. That I wouldn't use people to my benefit. Darling, we are in hell"

"Yes but we are in a hotel that is supposed to be making sinners better. You're not providing a great example of that at all"

"Who's to say the deal was for nefarious purposes?"

"Then what is it for? Hmm"

"If I tell you that, you would be shocked. Maybe even die a second time" he chuckled again.

I couldn't keep my composure. My hair started to flow on its own. My eyes were turning a full red. Little horns starting to peak out the top of my head. My wings shooting out from my back.

"Am I joke to you?" I growled.

"W-what?" He stumbled over his words

"You're laughing at my irritation, is this funny to you"

"Of course it is. My dear you seem to forget who I am" Alastors antlers got a little longer as his eyes turned black "I've had no interest in redeeming myself. Neither do you. Why do you think it's fully appropriate I change who I am because of hotel I don't believe in?"

"You can't tell me after years of being in heaven and months at this hotel hadn't changed your outlook on who you are as a person"

"You married me with the intention of fixing me?"

"No Alastor. I married you because of the fact your heart is good." I calmed down. "I thought the rest of you would follow. Apparently I was wrong. Whatever shield you put on to be this scary, evil man will never leave you. No matter the amount of healing souls around you"

Alastor also relaxed a bit on his intimidating look.

"Please, Alastor, leave." I pointed at the door to my room.

He sighed and turned to walk away. Before he exited he decided to drop another bomb on me.

"You will not be in town during the extermination"

I lit up like a Christmas tree. "You can't tel me what I can and can't do"

"You're right my dear but King Satan can" he placed a letter on my bed then slithered away in his shadow.

After he left, I let out a deep sigh. I believe this is our first real fight.

Sure, we quarrel but it never mattered. This one did. I genuinely believed he had relaxed from his extreme sadistic ways but I was wrong.

Maybe I did marry the wrong person. No. I know that I love him. I just wish I didn't sometimes.

Alastor will always do what benefits him. Yet, he's saved me countless times. He's protected me countless times. He's done the same for the people he likes. Hell, even mimzy.

Charlie trusted him the most out of everyone. Sometimes even challenged me on the trust in him. And he made a deal with her so he could get his way.

What a fucking asshole.

If I thought about it anymore, I might lose it.

What does he mean that King Satan requests a meeting with me?

I opened up the letter. It looked official enough.

Yeah, he was right. I would be leaving the day before the extermination and won't be returning back to pride until the day after. Why would he want to see me? Is it because I'm a weapon and he would want to use me for his army?

My mother works with him, that's like equivalent to millions of those shitty made angelic weapons so why would he need two? He didn't even want my dad.

Whatever. I tossed the letter in the trash, knowing I would have to listen. Unfortunately I don't try to cause trouble unlike my lying husband.

I went lay in bed. Crawling underneath the sheets. I knew as soon as I would turn off the lights, my overthinking would begin.

Tears flooded my eyes.

"If he managed to fool Charlie, how long has he fooled me" I whispered cried out loud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If he managed to fool Charlie, how long has he fooled me?" Alastor overheard his wife's quiet cries.

His eyes fell sad. Since falling for her, he never once thought about using her to his advantage. Other than her being his wife.

He walked into his room then sat at his little table.

Truth was, he made a deal with Charlie so he could get off his leash with her mother.

The reason why he was in heaven was because the queen of hell asked for his assistance. Lilith was powerful on her own but she still needed a little help from time to time.

He made a deal with her to get into heaven in return he would help her with his endeavors. Whatever they might be.

However, Lilith made a couple extra changes to their contract which left Alastor still strapped to her, even after he returned back to hell.

Part of him hoped Charlie would just give us this frivolous dream of hers but she's going through with it and he knew he couldn't stop her.

He's hoping that Charlie can get him off his leash, even if she has to compete with her mother. I mean, Alastor had been there for Charlie more than any of her parents had been.

He just couldn't tell y/n about it because of how she would react. She'd be pissed to know that he has been risking his life since the moment he showed up in heaven. He knows she would be ridden with guilt because if she didn't leave, he wouldn't have made a contract.

Truth was, regardless if y/n left or not, he still would've went to heaven. Y/n wasn't his only reason on being there.

It was his mother. He is a huge mamas boy and was willing to do anything to see her face after over a hundred years.

Alastor hadn't felt true heartbreak until he met his mother in heaven and she...

She didn't recognize him.

That was the moment Alastor gained a new emotion. That raw emotion also led him to being hurt over y/ns rejection of him. Especially after finally learning he could love someone more than himself.

He didn't cry but he hoped that y/n would understand that what he's doing isn't fully evil.
