Chapter 26   

Devin walked out of the bathroom avoiding my obvious confusion; I walked after him as he picked up sweetheart and stroked her she looked up at him confused. I sat on my bed waiting for an explanation, he was a prince? That’s hard to believe…but if he is a prince then a prince of what? And what was that between Drew and him?

He turned back to me “what the hell was that?” he didn’t give me a chance to answer “because of what you did my father may lose one of his most loyalist subjects.” He looked down at me

I hung my head then thought about what I was doing and looked back at him narrowing my eyes “well I’m sure if I knew what you really were none if this would happen.” I crossed my arms

“Well?” I said impatiently tapping my foot

He looked up at me from his thoughts “well what?”

“What did Drew call you a prince for? I’m confused.” I stopped tapping my foot

He sighed

“Aren’t you going to say something?”

“Well I really don’t want to say anything; I think it’d be best if we forget that he called me a prince.” He started to move around

“But you are a prince right?”

He looked at me for a long time then came and sat beside me “yeah I am.”

“Ok, you’re a prince but of what?” sweetheart climbed in my lap then looked at Devin

He sighed “I really don’t think you want to know, so just forget it.”

I shook my head “no I don’t want to forget it I want answers, if that demon called you a prince then that should mean that you’re a demon prince right?” I don’t know why I wasn’t freaking out and trying to kill this guy

He stiffened for a second then he looked at me “yeah, shouldn’t you be like running away now?” he looked confused

“I feel like I should but I don’t want to.” This is crazy how can I not run away from this guy? He a fucking demon prince I should be trying to kill him, I would get some big money turning him in but the thought of him dead makes my heart ache…

He sighed in relief “well that’s a good sign.” He smirked at me

“How is that a good sign?”

“Uh never mind but you might want to know about your dog Spirit.”

“No her name is sweetheart.” Devin shook his head and Sweetheart jumped out of my arms and sat on the floor looking at me then the next thing I knew sweetheart started to change and now she was that flame headed girl I saw week ago “whoa! What the hell! You’re my dog?!”

 She took the sucker out of her mouth, did she always have suckers? “Listen girly I’m not a dog, this is my true form I’m your protector sent by him.” she pointed to Devin “and my name is not sweetheart I loathe that name, my name is Spirit.”

I looked at her then I looked at Devin “you sent me a protector? That’s what that was all about?”

“Yeah and I feel like I should protect you from him because he’s gawking at you like you’re a juicy stake.” She laughed; Devin had a bit of blush taint his cheeks then narrowed his eyes at Spirit. She put her hands up in surrender “hey it’s true.” She tried to cover her laughing with coughs but she ended up laughing more

I sat there feeling awkward then I got a question “hey, why do demon and different creatures come after me when I’m in the bathroom?”

Spirit flipped her hair “oh that’s easy, they come after you because you’re the prince’s-“she was interrupted by Devin’s coughing
