Chapter 124 - Playing With Asmodeus
**Asmodeus's P.O.V.**
I'm waiting anxiously for Melantha and Dion to return with Maelani and her mate. I refuse to allow any of my children to disrespect me so blatantly. I will make an example out of them so if any more of my children get any bright ideas, they'll think twice.
I'm impatient, so I go to the room to view the cameras and look at the footage from the one facing the portal. There's no one there. I thought Dion was going to wait for them. 'I rewind the footage until I see him and Melantha approach the portal. I'm relieved until I see them share a kiss. What's this about? Then, as I watch in horror, they hold hands and jump in the portal together.
What the fuck is going on around here? Everyone is betraying me. They will die; they will all die. I push my panic alarm, and all my hounds come running. Well, all except my head hound, that bastard betrayed me.
"We're going through the portal. It's time to attack." I yell at them. They look at each other before the second in command steps forward.
"Where's Dion?" He asks.
"Don't worry about that traitor. We're leaving now. Due to Dion's absence, you are now my head hound. Let's go." I yell, turning to leave. When we reach the portal, I have a moment of hesitation. This isn't the best way to attack. I'm angry and not thinking rationally, but on the other hand, they won't be expecting me to attack, so that can work to my advantage. I'll send the hounds out first because everyone will know when I go through the portal.
"Go through and wait for me," I tell them. They look uncertain, but they do as I say. Once I go out, I can't return unless I'm successful. I'm Asmodeus, the demon of lust. Of course, I'll be successful. I jump through the portal, and the ground begins shaking as I land on the other side. That's right, everyone, I have arrived to destroy you all. Prepare yourselves for death.
"To the palace," I yell to the hounds.

**Davina's P.O.V.**
Asmodeus thinks we're scared of him, but he has another thing coming. He's a pesky fly compared to Surtur. I look at Dion and Melantha.
"It's time to prove yourselves. You know he'll have the hounds with him. Men you have trained and known for years. If I see any change in you that shows me you're going back to them, I'll kill you myself." I tell Dion. I'm more concerned about him than Melantha. He grabs her hands.
"The most important person to me is right here. I will kill anyone who means to do her harm; I don't care how long I've known them." Dion looks at Melantha, and I can't help swoon a little. I never thought I would say a demon and hound were a cute couple, but they really are.
"Okay, I'm just making sure," I say before turning around. "Everyone get ready. They're coming."
The hounds are coming toward the gates as soon as the words are out of my mouth. Jessi, Wyatt, and the other warriors stand in front of everyone else. I hold Jock's hand, and Rmina holds Trevors. Our newest additions are ready to attack as well. We can consider this a warm-up before the real fight.
The hounds come through the gates as though they did something big. The gate was unlocked, you morons. When they see all of us standing in front of the palace unmoving, they freeze. Dion's second-in-command looks at him in disgust.
"How could you go to their side? You're nothing but a joke of a hound." He yells at Dion.
"I finally realized that what Asmodeus made us do wasn't right. I want a life with my mate. Say what you want.; you don't know what you're missing." Dion yells back. That gives me an idea. Asmodeus hasn't shown himself yet; let's have a surprise for him, shall we.
I make myself tiny and giggle as I fly over the hounds, spreading my dust on them. I'm back by Jock's side before anyone else even realized I was gone. I giggle and point at the hounds when everyone looks at me.
"Aren't they a bunch of cute little puppies?" I ask while I twirl. I made the men shift into their hounds, but they're not full-grown hounds. They're little puppies. They run around the grounds, yipping and chasing each other while we all laugh. When I look at the gate, Asmodeus is standing there looking at the pups angrily.
"What's the matter, ass man? Are you afraid to fight us yourself?" Jessi yells at him. He looks at her with pure hatred, and then his eyes fall on me.
"Davina, if you come with me now, I'll forgive all of these transgressions and let my daughters and their mates stay here. Otherwise, I will kill everyone and still take you with me. Either way, you belong to me and no one else. It's up to you." He yells, walking toward us slowly. Jock's hand tightens around mine.
"I'm already taken by someone who is more of a man than you'll ever be. Why don't you return to your whores? I know you have one that looks like me. I'm going to give her some of my dust so she can make your penis so small you won't be the demon of lust anymore. You'll be the demon of wishful thinking." I giggle while he looks like he's ready to kill me.
"You stupid little fairy. I told you that you're mine. You agreed to have my children now get your fairy ass down here before I do something you'll regret." Okay, now I'm pissed. I stomp down the steps even as Jock tries to stop me. I make myself as big as I can, and the ass man's eyes widen. He's never seen me like this.
"Listen here, you ass dick, son of a bitch. You do not own me; no one owns me. Now take your sorry ugly no good ass out of here before we kill you and your dogs." I scream at him, making the ground shake under him. I quickly turn tiny and fly to Jock and make myself normal size.
"Shit, that was awesome." I turn to Maelani and wink at her while I giggle.
"Fairy's can be scary too," I tell her. She smiles at me and looks toward her dad.
"What's next?" She asks as Darian puts his arm around her shoulders.
"That's up to him. If he attacks, we attack harder. I know this may be hard for you, so I appreciate you having our backs." Maelani shakes her hand and reaches out to squeeze my hand.
"It's not as hard as you think. I never belonged there." She says with a small smile.
"Wow, you can make yourself big. Good for you, but guess what? I have tricks, too." Asmodeus yells. I don't know what he's trying to do, but it's obviously not working.
"Are you constipated? I have something that can fix that." Jessi says, raising her sword. "Does anyone want to see a demon on a stick?"
"If you try to stick me with that sword, it will be the last thing you do because I'll break your neck." He yells before going back to scrunching his face up. I look around and see Rmina smiling.
"Having trouble?" Rmina asks him.
"What are you doing to me?" He screams at her.
"I'm a witch, and I know magic that's strong enough to work on a sorry excuse of a demon like you. You used a warlock to stop my friend from getting pregnant. Well, I just put a spell on you, so you'll never be able to get another woman pregnant again. In fact, your dick is so limp it's like a wet noodle. Oh, yeah, I also put a spell on you, so when you try to do anything to any of us, it won't work." Rmina smirks and Asmodeus turns red with rage.
The sound of Jessi screaming makes me spin around. I look in horror as a man walks out of the palace, holding Camilla high in the air with his hand around her neck. We all freeze as he holds a silver knife to her little throat. I know him, I thought we could trust him. We have to get Camilla away from him before the knife touches her, or she'll be dead.
