chapter 54

I walked into the library, just as expected of a library as silent as a graveyard, I looked around for my target and there he was in all his denim jacket glory, Alec sat on a desk and was tracing some notes on a book, he was just the person I was looking for, I brought the cupcake that was hiding at my back and after staring at it to give me luck I walked to Alec.

“Hey” I dropped the cupcake I was holding for him on the table, on his book. He took it and put it at the side of his book not even sparing me a glance. I slipped into the chair in front of him and sighed taking his hand in mine, “I am sorry” he looked uncomfortable, Alec pulled his hand from mine and looked up at me, I felt horrible.

“What now?" he asked and the look he gave me, I just wanted to shelter myself under a rock and die there

“Come on, are you still mad?” I said pushing the cupcake closer to him ever so lightly, I had to make sure the librarian didn't see. I looked around for her, no sign YET

“It was four days ago Winter, yes, yes I am” I groaned

“I came here to help you study”

“I don’t need your help” he stated plainly

“You are being a bitch right now”

“No you are being a bitch, a huge one at that, I am sorry for- for calling you a bitch” he said, I was a bitch

“It is fine, I am sorry. I might be acting like a bitch, do you need help studying”

“I was not lying when I said I didn’t need your help, Sarah agreed to do it, but you could help me some other time” What was that feeling in my heart, jealousy, it is jealousy. I pursed my lips and smiled curly before standing up and walking away. I went to search for some books about demons and angels to my surprise after looking in the history section I saw a book called demons and demonology. I walked to the Librarian and asked her if I could borrow the book. She helped me ring it up and stuffed it in my backpack.

“How was school,” Xavier asked me when I got into the car

“I got called to the principal’s office for my piercing” Xavier sighed deeply, he should have seen this coming, it was pretty much inevitable.

"Hold on to my leg"

"Why?"

“Just do it” I reached over to his leg and gripped inevitable
“This is going to hurt you so squeeze my leg as hard as you can if you feel any pain, do you hear me”

“Yeah I do” he touched my ear and the cartilage stung a bit. when he started unscrewing the ball, rather than squeeze his leg from the pain I reached up and pushed his hand away.

“Never mind” I replied and did my best to massage my ears.

“Are you sure?“Yes, that is painful”

“Should we try taking out the faith”

“No, I like that one”

“What are you reading,” Xavier asked walking into our bedroom, I quickly tucked the book under my butt and smiled at him widely

“It is nothing” I replied quickly, but I think he saw right past that. He came to me and buried his hand under my butt

“You pervert” I yelled and he pulled the book away from my ass’s grip

“HMM, demons and demonology interested are we, SEIZED,” he said, he was so cool about it like his hands had not been under my right e in the most compromising wa

“SEIZED, you can’t do that. It is a library book I have to return a library book” I jumped on him and tried reaching for the book but he still managed to get it out of my reach

“You can get this back after your assessment tests next week baby girl”

“You can’t be serious”

“As serious as a corpse,”

“Xavier come on, I can read later” I whined,

“And who told you whining is a good thing to do” I looked at him, our faces were so close, I was wrapped around him the way a koala would wrap around a tree, my legs were tightly gripping his waist

“I want to read that book, just give me it”

“Give it to me” he corrected and shook me off his body

“let us make a deal if you forget about this book and start reading your physics notebook and you ace all your assessments, I might just throw in a temporary puppy into this household”

“SERIOUSLY,” I said excitedly then I frowned “what is a temporary puppy”

“You can have a puppy for a day” Are you serious, why not forever”

“Because forever is a long time, we can’t bring a puppy to hell, it’ll die and there is no one at home to take care of it

“It is just as simple as you not getting a puppy You act like my father”

“Deal or no deal”

“DEAL” Xavier handed me the book and I plucked it from his hand “Thank you”

“Are you hungry?”

“No, I think I will just use my dinner time to get a hold of this book then after dinner time I will start reading my books”

“Okay then”

GOLDEN DAGGER, DEMONS, KILLED. I pieced the keywords together, Xavier can be killed but by an ancient dagger made in an ancient kingdom named Camari, That is where Camari got her name from, I knew Camari was a weird name.

Turns out that demon royalties such as Xavier, Lucifer cannot be killed rather they just step down from the throne and they go and rule side by side in the dark part of hell while the current king rules the light part. What I am gathering is that Xavier is not actually becoming a real king for another Five hundred years when ‘our son’ takes the throne. The queen accompanies her husband as his eternal mate and other royalties such as CAMARI are killed for GOOD WISHES. Luckily, she will not be killed because the only instrument that can kill royalty is the golden dagger of Camari and it was stolen by the Angels and kept in a secret convent, I glanced at Xavier. The dagger in the book resembled the one that Xavier was always drawing closely, so he was on a mission to find the dagger. So this guy can actually be killed. Not so invincible are you. I felt a sharp burn on my neck area, I looked down and saw the necklace he gave me glowing against my skin.“Ow” he looked at me

“You are having evil thoughts,” he said, so this piece of jewelry was made to spy on me, I can’t believe this guy has been tricking right under my nose and me being a horny teenager that I was kept ignoring the fact that this guy might actually be EVIL.
