“You’ve not mentioned how fast they’ve been growing, so I thought that I may be insane.”

“Well… I mean… The jury’s still out on that one,” Callum says with humor in his tone. I look up at him and narrow my eyes, making him smirk.

The door swings open while Callum and I are looking at one another. “What the fuck are you doing?” Zypher snaps. He storms over and grabs me by the hair to drag me up from the floor. “Talk. Why were you looking at him?”

“Because he’s my mate. You never said I couldn’t look at them,” I seethe.

“You little bitch,” Zypher screams at me as he rears back and backhands me to the ground. Pain shoots through my face, and I taste the coppery tang of blood in my mouth. I focus on healing for just a moment before looking up. I see the vines move out of the corner of my eye. It’s subtle, but they reacted to me getting hit. I need to see if this is relevant, so I smile up at him. It is genuine because the thought of watching him die brings me joy. Zypher slaps me again, and the vines react by taking over the corner of the room I was just sitting in. Zypher and Morwen have their backs to that area of the room, but my mates see it.

“Bad idea, Puppy,” Daemon says, making Kael and Callum chuckle.

“What the fuck did you just say?” Zypher asks with rage in his voice. This is his breaking point. All of the humiliation I put on him is taking over his thoughts until anger is the only thing left.

“Did you really think I would choose you, Puppy?” I ask with a grin.

Zypher grabs me by the hair and yanks me up from the ground. “You no longer have a choice bitch, it’s time I put a pup in your belly,” he says.

He sits on the end of the table before hauling me up into his lap. When he aggressively forces himself inside of me, I laugh. “When I cut my pup from your belly, I’ll take pleasure out of slitting your throat,” Zypher says as he swells inside of me.

Morwen walks closer to me, but before he can grab me, vines shoot from the wall and grab him. He screams in pain as the thorns dig into his flesh and pull him up so he is suspended in the air.

“What the fuck,” Zypher says as he tries to push me off of him. Vines wrap around his wrists and pull his arms above his head. The swelling of his knot disappears, but I have his body in a trance. He is at my mercy now.

“Oh, come on, Puppy. You can do better than that. What was this about making me feel good” I say as I slowly ride him. My mates stand and come to stand beside me. Daemon grabs my face and kisses me deeply. Kael and Callum step up and kiss me while I slowly torture Zypher as he looks on in horror.

When Callum pulls back, I unfurl my wings. They sprout from my back. It feels like freedom when they stretch out. They are a matte black color. You can see every ridge and vein as the skin on my wings is pulled tight. I hear Morwen start to audibly cry, and when I glance back at him, suspended in the air the wet spot in the front of his pants gives away just how terrified he is.

I snap my fingers, and my mates collars fall off of them. Daemon picks one of them up and snaps it around Zypher’s neck. “Didn’t I tell you that you wouldn’t survive the monster you created?” I say with a sweet smile. “You are pathetic. Useless.”

“You conniving little bi…” Zypher starts.

“Say it,” I warn. “Call me a bitch again. You haven’t seen bitch, yet, Puppy.”

I tighten all of my muscles around him, and he yells out with a pained moan. “Stop. Please, stop.”

“You want to know your first mistake?” I ask.

“What?” he snivels.

“When I told you I was half-demon, you never questioned what kind. You never once took your eyes off your little glowing star to realize what I am,” I say. “I am half-succubus. You do know what that is, don’t you, Puppy?”

“Fuck,” he groans.

“Come on now. What is it?” I ask. “What am I?”

“Y-you feed off sex,” he moans again when I constrict around him again. I’m no longer moving, but until I say my piece, I’m going to torture him.

“That’s right,” I say with a smile. “Good boy, puppy.”

“Lilith. please. Please stop. I’ll leave you alone. I swear,” he begs.

“I love it when you beg me for mercy,” I say with a laugh. “Do it again, puppy. Beg for mercy.”

“Lilith, please,” he says tearfully. “I love you. I just wanted you to love me back.”

“Every time you and your pack raped me, I drew energy off you all. Every time Morwen raped me, I stored all of that magia away,” I say. “When I got here, I didn’t have a good hold on my magia yet. I needed time… but then you never put that collar back on. You did this, Zypher. You created this monster. You fed me every bit of this rage when you forced yourself on me. You helped grow that reserve of magia when you let your pack forcefully fuck me for hours on end. When you used my mates against me, you fed me what I needed to find a new beginning without you.”

I reach out for my mates, and Daemon lifts me off Zypher and stands me in front of him. He looks behind me and laughs. “Your pet is trying to get away.”
