No answer

I swallowed. I could still feel the heat spreading across my face. I should have asked myself why she was doing this to me, but actually it was my own fault. Why had I thrown myself on her and whispered these words to her? Actually, I just wanted to teach her a little lesson, because she had let herself be distracted, she had turned the tables. In the end, my face was just as red as hers. Actually I would have laughed about it if it weren't for the fact that we weren't let out of sight by the twin demons. But basically, they were both fine. I had noticed that they seemed to have damned respect for Nyria. The corners of my mouth twitched. Well, who was surprised? Despite this respect, the two Nyria had always looked curiously. So they didn't seem afraid of her. With Nyria's last words in mind, I made my way purposefully to our room. On this way I can pass the great hall in which Lucifer sat on his throne with a strange and indefinable look. I approach him attentively with energetic steps. A strange feeling came over me. 

"You very much like something happened," I stated flatly.

Lucifer didn't look at me, but I watched as he slipped his hand into his pocket and only a few moments later pulled something out of it. He handed it to me and I realized that these were photos. I looked at them carefully.

"That's the castle!" I muttered, looking up.

"You think these traces are from my brother?" I said quietly so that no one else noticed. The devil nodded wordlessly and my eyes fell back on the photos. Had Fare given her feather dust? If so, make sure you really want to help us! Did she realize what risk she was taking? If Nereus and the others found out, she would have a real problem!

"I hope this goes well ..." I mumbled based on these considerations and clenched my fist. I handed the photos back.

"I should have noticed that he was there," I growled. I myself had exposed Nyria to the danger that it would take me to forgive myself.

"Don't blame yourself, Zayn." Lucifer suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts. His tone of voice was surprisingly mild ... I looked at him carefully. 

“Even I can't tell how he'll act next. You didn't expect him to show up in Scotland, so you didn't pay attention to it. Nyria wouldn't let you worry your head over it, would you? "He said softly.

"Yeah, probably." I agreed, not very convinced. Again I became aware.

“I'm not the only one who has changed as I notice. What's wrong with you?"

I bit my tongue because I already suspected that I would regret this question. To my own amazement, it turned out differently than expected.

"I don't know what you're talking about," the devil came back monotonously. I had actually expected a roaring tirade but well ... I didn't reply and turned away without a word. Nyria's words came back to me, so I increased my pace. As I left the room, I felt Lucifer's piercing gaze on my back. 

I looked after him. He was still as attentive as then. The fallen man was right, I had changed. However, it wasn't that long ago. It wasn't really my way of being so calm and indulgent, but something made me do it. Not so long ago I would have tried to snatch Nyria and all her powers under the nail, but today it wasn't. I would also have tried to trick Zayn into amchen him to one of my subordinates again, but I hadn't done that either. Yes, I had turned out to be downright nice! I realized that none of this would have helped. Both Nyria and Zayn would have rebelled. At that moment they were probably more useful to me than they could ever be. I also realized that I was getting so much further! Nyria was incredibly powerful, and together with the fallen, she would be able to overthrow the archangels' emperium. Just like my kingdom! She would be a dangerous enemy, I had only recently understood that. But I liked the little one. She could be both cold and affectionate, and as scary as this combination was, a woman couldn't be more balanced and interesting ... 

I waited impatiently for Zayn to finally enter the room. An uncomfortable and inexplicable emptiness had seized me after I left him in the hall. A look in the mirror revealed that my cheeks were still glowing red. Did the fallen man realize that it was his fault? I sat cross-legged on the double bed. It was time that I had to realize what I actually felt for this man. Okay, it should be clear to some that I wanted Zayn. Me too. But what about the feelings? Yes, I would have trusted him with my life. At any time! And I would never dare to lie to him! After everything he'd done for me, he was really important to me. We had seen so much together, no wonder that after all he was the only person I really trusted! I looked at my hands. How many times had we kissed ... Wasn't it strange that we hadn't even told each other how important we had become to each other? I knew the relationship between us was complicated, and not just because of our origins. But Ezekiel had even fathered a son with a human wife, so why shouldn't Zayn and I be together? Well, maybe we'd better wait until we survived the current situation. The chance we would be killed was fifty percent. I don't know what to make of this. I shook my head and chased those lines of thought away. After I closed my eyes, the night I first saw Zayn came to mind. He was covered in blood and everything about him looked dangerous. But despite everything, I was interested in him. I couldn't help but crouch down in front of him and look at him carefully. And then he opened his eyes. Presumably it had already happened when I looked into his brightly colored eyes ... I opened my eyes and saw Zayn, who was standing in front of the bed smiling ... I had fallen in love with Zayn Vaher!   

.........

The look she gave me made me hold my breath. Her cheeks were still red and her pupils dilated. I carefully looked inside, but she didn't let me see anything. It was like she kicked me out. Strange ... was she trying to hide something from me?

"And? Shall we pick up where we left off? ”I asked challengingly and gave a grin. I saw the swallowing motion on her throat, but she returned my grin with an auspicious smile.

"With pleasure! But this time I won't let myself get down so easily. "

With a wink, she reached out to me. I grabbed it and let myself be pulled onto the bed. We wrestled with each other, laughed and annoyed each other and it wasn't long before I was lying naked over her. With a lustful look she snatched my hand, which she then pushed between her legs. Now I could feel her moist heat, which only spurred me on. She sighed softly, but I sealed her mouth with my lips. From now on she would be tame! 

Nereus looked at the stars. He clenched his fists. He still hadn't gotten any further. There was no clue as to Ezekiel. And he couldn't find Zayn and Nyria either. The castle they were last at was empty. He had tried to eavesdrop on them several times, but wherever they were, his spell had no effect in this place. He already guessed where exactly the two seemed to be, but he didn't dare to speak out his suspicions. If they teamed up with him, all of the sky dwellers would have a problem! Ezekiel came back to him. He was probably still out for revenge ... Nereus got an idea. Maybe he could make it clear to the former archangel what a threat this girl was? Together they would be able to remove this child from the world without any problems. But convincing Ezekiel of this was next to impossible! Of course, he wanted the strength of his descendant so that he could get back at all of the archangels. Zayn too. And the chances were not bad that he would convince the girl of his plans. Nereus himself was after her, of course she would want to fight him. So what to do At the moment Nereus had no answer ...
