Hunter screams again.
“I didn’t see who he was. He just wanted the hounds out of the way,” he says through pain.
“Why does he need them out of the way?” I ask, grabbing another blade.
“Seriously, how many blades does she have on her?” Gareth asks, amazed.
“Seven,” Silas replies.
I smirk at Silas’ reply. He has watched me put them on everyday. He hasn’t asked me why but, after what I told him, I think he already knows.
“You are just going to let her stab me? I have been working for you guys for centuries,” Hunter pleads.
“Yet, you also betrayed us and gave our hellhounds away,” Lorenzo spits out angrily.
“They are just beasts. You can get more.”
Hunter screams the last part of his sentence when I throw the other knife through his arm.
“Where are they?!” I shout.
“All he said was that he needed them away from the palace, and he would bring them back after he got what he wanted. I don’t know any more than that,” Hunter says through his pain.
I look him over before looking back to Lucifer and frowning.
“He seems to be in more pain than I expected. Are all your demons this weak?”
Lucifer chuckles and shakes his head.
“I might have added an extra kick to your blades,” he answers.
I grab another blade and look down at it.
“Fascinating,” I reply.
Lorenzo starts laughing as Hunter pleads.
“This shit is hilarious because she probably knows everything he does by touching him. She’s just torturing him for fun,” Lorenzo exclaims.
Hunter pauses screaming and looks at me in horror. Everyone else starts laughing.
“I never caught onto that,” Garett says through his laughter.
I smirk at Lorenzo.
“I wondered how long it was going to take until someone caught on,” I state.
“Now that you’ve had your fun, sweetie, Hunter here has an appointment in purgatory,” Lucifer says as he waves his hand at Hunter. I catch the horror on Hunter’s face before he disappears.
Great, another question I’ll need to ask later.
“The rest of you can leave,” I say, waving a hand at them like I’m the boss of this place.

My crazy little bride.
She is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for.
