“She’s whole now?” he asks.

“Yes, she should be able to access all parts of her power, not as fragile as she once was either.”

Dax sighs in relief. His hold on my thigh is even tighter than before.

“I would expect you to help her with her training, Daxaddon,” my father says.

“Of course, my lord,” Dax replies, bowing his head, and I roll my eyes.

Mara looks at me across the table while she bites her nails. “Blair?”

“Yes?”

“I would like to spend some time with you. Not right now, but maybe after I’ve been in this body a few days?”

“As long as you don’t hurt me or anyone I care about, I think that will be fine.”

“Lilith is going to teach me how to portal today!” Mara says to the table, Lilith and my dad smiling at her.

“Are you going to teach me how to do that?” I lean over to Daxaddon.

He leans in and whispers, so only I can hear. “Oh, little witch, I’m going to teach you so many things.

32. Dax

Chapter 32

“I need to make sure that Stevie is okay and I think I would be more comfortable at home,” Blair tells her father.

“You are always welcome here, and I hope that you’ll want to visit soon,” he says. I’ve never seen Lucifer look so pleading before. The man usually demands, stares, and glares. He doesn’t look hopeful or near begging. But the way he’s looking at Blair is like if she leaves right now, she will never come back.

“I promise I will come back soon.”

“Daxaddon, a word,” Lucifer says, looking at Blair and then me. I nod my head as Lucifer stands and I follow him into his library.

“My lord,” I say.

“That’s right, your lord. I need you to look after Blair. Teach her about her demon side. Make sure that she doesn’t get caught up in anything unsavory.”

“Of course, my lord,” I say, ready to get the fuck out of here. He might have been sweet with Blair, but the look he’s giving me right now is malicious.

“And Daxaddon?” he says as I’m leaving the room.

“Yes?” I say, turning around to face him.

“Hurt her and you can consider your soul destroyed.” I swallow and nod my head.

“Wouldn’t dream of it, my lord,” I say. There’s a first for everything. Being warned by the devil about his daughter is definitely a first I never intended on experiencing.

Hell has never been my favorite place. I’ve enjoyed the freedom that Lucifer has given me and I don’t plan on fucking that up. Most of all, I never want to see Blair hurt or upset again. I’m not sure what life looks like when we’re healed and not actively working against some big bad. But I’m eager to find out.
