Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

35. Reyes
A blood-brother starts hearing the dark whisper when he is on the verge of losing his sanity to his demon after years of not finding a bonded to anchor his soul to.
The first time I heard dark whispers was on the day I vowed my allegiance to Hell, and I received my demon, thus becoming a Lord.
I never thought that someone like me, on the verge of madness and already consumed by anger and darkness, would become a Lord and a blood-brother.
My demon is as damaged as I am, but we understood each other right from the beginning. We both want to kill Dukes and f uck any woman that opens her legs for us while covered in the blood of our enemies. And we did that for a long time. And we will keep doing it until I take my last breath, except that the only woman in our life is now Angel.
I have fallen for.
She is the first woman, the only woman that makes me feel something except anger and hatred. The only woman I h
I still wonder how I could have fallen in love with her so fast. Maybe it has to do with my demon. He wanted her from the moment I stepped into Alekos” office.
Angel makes me understand that women are worthy of love. She deserves better than Alekos, Stefan, and 1, but even if we destroy her, I can never let her go. Not when I licked her pus sy. I never did that before. So many firsts with Angel today
She is the beacon of light I

light I have been waiting for since… Roxanne.
For the Erst time in a long time. I dare to hope-hope that my demon won’t devour my soul and I will finally get to kill Azael
Not all blood-brothers find a bonded. And even if they find one, it isn’t guaranteed she will survive the Piercing Ritual. The cases where a bonded dies because she was not strong enough to resist the dark whispers of Hell, resulting in her losing her mind, are rare.
Angel is different from any woman Alekos, Stefan, and I shared, She is strong. And maybe she isn’t afraid of the dark.
She is mine.
My demon purrs his agreement.
Good
Except for the guards, the rest of the staff have retired to their rooms. Only I remain awake. And probably Alekos and Angel. He will most likely keep her awake until early morning. I can’t wait for my alone time with her.
I swirl the glass of whiskey in my right hand as I quietly walk through the house. It has been my routine since I started living with Alekos and Stefan, making sure the Dukes do not take us by surprise and attack our home.
Or my mother.
My demon snarls at that word-mother.
Only Alekos and Stefan kow the truth about my mother. And Alec.
If not for me, Alre would have been the one to be Alekos and Stefan’s blood-brother and the one to bond with Angel. I bring the glass to my mouth, toss my head back, and drain all the whiskey in one gulp.
