his demeanor.
    Nassa’s uncle purses his lips. “You can’t,” he says plainly.
    “It…has a name. Elizabeth is a person, not an object. Regardless of what you say, I will get her back. I’m planning to exchange myself for her,” I offer with a bite in my tone.
    The demon laughs as if I told him the funniest joke he’d heard in his life.
    My brow arches. “Did I say something funny, your highness?”
    At my pointed assertion, Asmodeus’ expression hardens. “It’s my lord. You think an ancient demon, such as Lucifer, wants a little human girl with a few extra gifts? Stupid child. You are of no concern to him, heavenly weapon or not. Somehow you’ve been misled to believe that you are more significant to our kind than your mundane life actually is.”
    “If that’s true, then why is the dark army hunting me so persistently?” I question.
    The demon shifts in his chair and shrugs. “Don’t be fooled, daughter of Heaven. Your existence is of no consequence to my boss. Your creation is simply one more hypercritical stab in the back. Obtaining you, and ending your life, is a statement. A show of declaration.”
    “What does Lucifer want then?” Gage asks from my left.
    “War,” Asmodeus replies harshly.
    My eyes shift to Gage and then back to the demon. “Attaining me is an end to the war.”
    “Wrong,” the demon barks. “Securing you is a strategy. Elizabeth is already dead. You’re wasting your time, daughter of Heaven,” he says with distain lining his voice.
    My jaw clenches at his declaration. “You lie. She’s not dead,” I spit out.
    The demon’s lips twitch at my outburst. “Are you sure?”
    “Without doubt,” I reply, keeping my voice low and steady, ignoring the sudden wave of fear that runs through my veins from his words. Instead, I try to appear calm and in control.
    “I’ve entertained you long enough. My debt is repaid, Gage. She asked her questions and is leaving unharmed. Make a note that I won’t extend that courtesy again. Now, Eve, unless you’re planning to assert your free will and allow me to take you back to the storage room to fuck the dark prince right out of you, I’ll ask you to leave.”
    Asmodeus folds his hands behind his head, challenging me with his eyes to respond to his harsh words and vulgar behavior. I’m about to tell the demon where he can go but Nassa intercedes before I can form words.
    “She meant no disrespect, Uncle. Eve’s simply upset about her mother and the insinuation of Elizabeth’s death. Right?” Nassa’s annoyed expression shifts to me.
    After a short standoff with the sorceress, I give in. “Right,” I whisper the lie.
    “Elizabeth is dead because our side doesn’t believe in divine mercy. Does that make us evil? Perhaps. As I understand, she has the love of the warrior of Heaven, which makes her an enemy in times of war,” the demon king rationalizes.
    My eyes flash with anger. “She’s an innocent person who’s being used as a pawn in a war that is not hers to fight,” I argue.
    “Regardless. We’re done here. I will provide no assistance in the return of Elizabeth or her corpse. Gallagher, the next time you bring a beautiful woman into my temple, be sure she’s prepared to get on her knees.” The demon vanishes, leaving the three of us in silence.
    “Charming.” I sigh. I think Nassa’s family is even more fucked up than mine.
    Gage cuts an irate glare my way. “I do believe I told you not to speak, love.”
    “You wanted me to just sit back and allow him to insult me?” I defend my actions.
    “He’s a demon. It’s part of their personality. Asmodeus’ assistance would have been extremely helpful to your cause,” Gage explains. “We’ve now wasted the last two hours.”
    “What now, Gallagher,” Nassa interrupts.
    “Now, we go back to plan A. I exchange my life for my mother’s,” I answer.
    “No, love.” Gage stands at his full height, trying to intimidate me.
    I stand and step to him, placing
