Chapter 37

“You’re fond of this one, hmm?” she said, moving her eyes from Nathan back to Sasha. “Shall I tear him into pieces for you?”

Nathan was already preparing to say goodbye to his left arm, which he rather liked and wasn’t too keen on losing, when the strange but familiar sound of Sasha’s laughter filtered over to him.

The succubus’ wings spread out wide behind her, black and threatening. “You think you have something to laugh about?” she said, leaning in close to Sasha’s face, though she kept her grip tight on both of them.

Her tone still sounded out of place to Nathan, dead despite her cynical words. What she said next made him finally think he understood why.

“You will live eternity alone and hungry for something you can never have. The chance that you will find happiness in love with a human or even your own kind is lower even than a demon’s. And believe me, eternity is a very long time without company.”
