A Demon's Love Story

Chapter 9

I pushed Jev off me so I could get dressed. I hated not continuing where we left off but my duty was drilled in my head to always come first. I went over to my suitcase and grabbed out clothes for the day. I decided on a pair of simple jeans and a fitting shirt. I had just taken off my tanktop to out on my bra when Jev's arms circuled around my waist.

"You know, I don't think my father would mind if we spent a few hours together," he told me leaning down and kissing my neck. "He might even encourage it."

I leaned into his touch. "I would like nothing more than to do that but," I turned my body pressing my bare chest to his, "I have work to do." I stood up on my tiptoes to press my lips on his. I gave him a long kiss before continuing to put on clothes.

"You're such a tease," he gave my butt a light smack before turning to put on his own clothes.

After dressing, Jev took me to his waiting father in their meeting room. The alpha dude was companied by Jane and ten of his, I hope strongest, men.

"Hello, now Conall about the witches. The half blooded one has no loyalty to the burned one so if we take her out first the other will most likely run off." I swatted at an annoying fly. "If she doesn't, I will take care of her. Their lair is just about sixty miles from here so it won't take long for us to get there. And when we do, we're going to surround it. I want y'all," I pointed at five random guys, "to go around and be on the other side." They nodded in understanding.

"But how are we going to open the lair? You said yesterday that she had to say these magic words to open it. What are we going to do about that?" a guy asked. He was well built and tall with a serious expression on his face.

"I'm glad you asked that sir, I was just about to get to that," I smiled at the guy. "Well even though it was in a strange language, I memorized what she said. We'll just have to hope what she said was a password. I'll say the words and go in first. I'll drag out the burned one and let y'all take care of her. After what happened to the girl's, I bet y'all want some revenge." A few grunted in agreement. Others just nodded. "Anymore questions?

"Just one. Is there a specific way to kill a witch?" a guy asked. He was farely young, maybe about early twenties.

"Rip her up and burn her to ash. A witch can always heal no matter the wound. Because someone didn't wait to finish her off before she turned to ash, she is still alive. So after y'all are through with her, burn her up and spread the ashes. Now anymore questions?" There were none. I swatted the fly again. "Okay, let's go then."

 I led the way out as the alpha dude stepped back to talk with his mate. Jev stepped by my side and took my hand. "I think this is the strangest first date ever," he told me smiling his dimple smile. I shook my head smiling back. "No, once on a first date I battled a flying lady while my date free fell at a hundred miles per hour." He growled and his eyes showed his wolf. "I don't want to ever hear about you going on dates." I rolled my eyes as we walked out of the big pack house and into the cold air.

"Please, I wouldn't even call it that. It was just some guy I met." I let go of his hand and stretched with my eyes closed. I needed to know what form to take. Maybe I should be a wolf. That'll be fun.

I opened my eyes after my long stretch and saw alot of nude guys. They were undressing and they were right in front of me. "Well that's a sight you don't see every day."

I heard Jev growl before something covered my face. It smelled like him. I touched it and felt some kind of fabric. "Is this your shirt, shorts, or underwear?" I asked. "I hope it's the latter." I heard a few coughs of laughter. I turned around and stuck my hands out to feel for something. I felt bare skin. "Jev, I'm going to take this off. You better be naked or a wolf." I took of the thing on my head and looked at a pitch black wolf with white paws standing in front of me. I frowned disapointed. "I hoped you would be naked." The wolf gave me a smile and licked my face.

I stood there a moment in a pack of wolves not knowing what to do. I was holding a shirt and looking at a wolf smiling. "That's hot," I told the wolf and wiped my face with the shirt. I threw the shirt at him and he just shrugged it off into a little stack of clothes at his paws. The wolf walked closer to me and hung his head asking to be pet. "You're officially adorable," I said petting him. He was so soft! 

He was so soft I climbed on his back and just laid down face first. What are you doing? Jev asked. "You're so soft I don't want to get up," my voice was muffled in his fur. "You better not have fleas."

No I do not have fleas. And although I love you lieing on me, we need you to lead us to the lair.

"Buz kill," I muttered. I morphed into a pure white wolf and bounded off in the direction of the witche's lair. The wolves silently followed.

It has been quite a while since I was in a wolf form. It was fun. The speed of a wolf, especially not a normal one, was extreme. They all moved gracefully and with precision. It didn't take long until we made it to the unmarked cave. I slowed down and changed back. I put a finger to my mouth signaling quiet. The wolves I had pointed at earlier stealthily moved to the other side of the cave completing the forming circle. The alpha dude gave me a nod and I spoke the strange words to the bundle of trees hoping it would move and form a cave. 

All was silent until the creaking of trees moving sounded around. The trees formed into a cave. And out of the cave came a giant animal. Fifteen feet tall it stood on hind legs and looked like a werewolf from a movie. It had a long snout and fur everywhere. That was all I could access before it ran right into me practically lifting me up and carrying me.

"Y'all handle the other one, I got this bitch." 

I summoned fire and lit up the animal. It stopped and I landed lightly on my feet. My braided bracelet lengthened and turned into a silver whip. It was my favorite weapon. Not the whip but the bracelet. It could turn into any weapon I wanted. The animal charged me but I kept it back like a lion trainer. Suddenly instead of charging me, the animal shrank and changed into a woman. She was dressed nicely and had a big smile. It was not a nice one.

Something's wrong there was no witch in the cave we searched the whole thing.

It's a trap! Get out of there now! I put the pieces together in my head. They had wanted me to find them. This woman had played as a fly to hear what we were planning.

"Yes, I can tell you finally figured out it was a trap. It's hard to believe you are one of the top Assassins. What a failure," the witch mocked.

The trees they closed on us! We're locked in!

I completely ignored the witch and sprinted back to the cave. It was true. The trees had moved again covering the entrance of the cave. I had just started saying the words when someone came up behind me and put a cloth over my mouth and nose. Instantly, I held my breath. I stepped down hard on the toe of the person behind me. Followed by an elbow thrust to the gut and a headbut. The person stumbled backwards and I did a roundhouse kick. I turned only to freeze when I saw who it was. Jev.
