Battle With Fire (Demon Days & Vampire Nights)

I couldn’t help but chuckle and shake my head. “Yeah, I guess.”

“So.” Lucifer came to stand beside me, encouraging me to turn and look out at the view. “What’s next?”

I took a deep breath and felt utterly confident in what I was about to say.

“I learn how to rule a kingdom, and we make this the best damned kingdom in all the worlds.”

Lucifer nodded and then laughed. “Welcome, daughter. Welcome home.”

I felt a mix of contentment and excitement.

Home. That’s exactly what it was. It had taken me a very long journey to find my home, which wasn’t a place—it was a feeling. It was me. I would buy my family home and fix it up in a way that my mother would’ve loved, I’d keep my NOLA home for when I wanted a place to crash in my favorite city in the Brink, and I’d learn this new role. This new purpose. I’d find balance, and with Darius and my father on my side, we would indeed make this place the best place to live in all the worlds.

The angels could suck it.
