The Devil's Sister

Chapter 45

May 30th

I woke up and instantly knew my back was fucked. I fell asleep completely on top of Adonis but woke up with my head on a pillow, my legs still on top of him.

I push myself up onto my forearms but freeze when my back cracks. I wait five seconds before exhaling and starting to move my legs off Adonis. Once I manage to get my legs off him, I turn my phone on and my eyes widen at the time.

"Adonis!" I yell, hitting him.

His eyes snap open and he looks over at me, confusion swirling in his stormy grey orbs when he doesn't see any danger.

"What the hell is it woman?" He groans, closing his eyes again.

"It's ten thirty in the fucking morning, that's what," I snap, standing up. "It's May 30th, we only have five more days to get everything together. The Fairies said that they'd help, and other than them, we only have the Dragons and the Demons. I have no idea how the Mers will contact us if they still don't have an answer when we're on our way back home, those damned Vampires are going to make me die young because they can't even let me talk to their 'almighty' King. I don't even know how the Nymphs are going to deal. I mean they're Nymphs! They're peaceful creatures, from what I've read, and the wolves! What in God's name is going to happen? How are they going to get there? It'll take more time for them since they can't fly. I suppose they'll jut order a pack near us to help but I don't want that pack to have something against us because we didn't ask for their help, it was just an order by their King. How are we going to be able to-"

Adonis cuts my ramble off by putting his hand on my mouth. "Let's get ready and go speak to the Nymphs. After we talk to them, we'll get something to eat before heading to Texas to talk to the Werewolves. That's all you have to think about for now, okay?"

I clench my jaw but nod. He's right. I can't over stress myself or I'll fuck everyone over and I can't have that. A Queen doesn't fuck up when it comes to the lives of her people.

I stand up from the bed and walk to the bathroom, shutting the door and turning on the shower. As the water heats up, I brush my teeth and take my clothes off. Once I'm naked, I wrap a towel around me and walk into the room, placing my clothes and a clean pair of underwear on the bed before going back to the bathroom. I put the towel on the hood of the toilet and place my dirty underwear in a sanitary bag that I found next to the sink. It's not much but it's enough for now.

I step into the shower, washing my body with the motel soap. I move faster than I normally would, wanting to get the the Nymph's palace quickly. With the Nymphs in my mind, I turn off the shower and dry myself off before wrapping my towel around me. I walk out of the bathroom, keeping my eyes on Adonis the entire time. When he doesn't move from the bed, I throw my shoe at him and tell him to go shower and get ready.

"Oh, by the way," he says at the door of the bathroom, "nice underwear, didn't know you were into cheeky lace."

I roll my eyes at him and start changing when I hear the bathroom door shut. I was slipping on my shoes by the time Adonis came out of the bathroom, fully dressed. 

"Let's go," I said, standing up and walking towards the door.

After paying for our night, we walk out of the motel and to a house in the Florida trees. We knock on the door and seconds later, a man who stood at about 6'5" opened the door.

"May I help you?" He gruffly asks.

"Yes, are you King Phiriaxi?" I ask and notice him tense.

"Who's asking?"

"My name is Kykuna Knight and this is Adonis Romanelli. We are here to warn you about the Hunters."

King Phiriaxi watches us with cold brown eyes before nodding, letting us inside.
