Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: 173

Zamiel, Lucifer and Euphorion had been busy finding witches and trying to get information from them. Zamiel didn't have time to waste. As soon as he found a witch, he didn't care to interrogate them. He just read their minds and continued further.

The things he found out were that this witch clan knew what they were dealing with. They didn't give information about themselves to anyone, and they moved places often.

They were known as the demon hunters. Everyone had heard of them, but none knew anything about them. Zamiel was losing his patience.

"My Lord." Ilyas came to him, looking concerned.

"Not now Ilyas."

"It is about Lady Heaven. I know where she is."

All of them turned to him, their eyes lighting up.

"Where?!"

Ilyas took them to where Heaven had been abducted. It was an old, abandoned house. Zamiel knew this wasn't where the witches lived. They probably only stayed here until they completed their mission.

They watched from a hill far away.

"Don't kill them yet." Zamiel said, fuming with anger.

"No. We need them to lead us to the rest. We should bury all these demon hunters once and for all," Lucifer said with venom in his voice, and then vanished to go look for Irene.

**********

Lothaire looked for Irene everywhere. For some reason, he could sense Heaven. She was locked in a room and he didn't care to look for her, knowing Zamiel would save her, but he couldn't sense Irene.

Not wasting time, he went straight to the witches. They were shocked that he had found them. Before they could escape, he grabbed one of them by the neck. "Where is Irene?" He yelled.

The male witch shook in fear, still unable to believe that they had been found. This was probably the only time they didn't get away.

"They… they are burning her."

Lucifer froze. "Where?" He then yelled.

Before the witch could reply, he saw where in his mind and within the blink of an eye; he was there.

But... he was too late.

What he witnessed left him paralyzed. Irene was lying on the ground, in a pool of blood and completely burned. Lucifer ignored the witches that ran away as soon as they saw him and hurried to Irene's side instead. He fell on his knees next to her.

Her heart was still beating, but slowing down fast. Her face was burned, she could barely open her mouth. He didn't know where to touch her. Any kind of touch would be painful.

"Irene."

She turned her head but couldn't open her eyes completely. Lucifer felt his stomach turn seeing her in this state. She tried to speak, but only a gasp left her lips.

"Don't say anything," he said, tearing up. "You will be alright."

He took off his shirt. He knew it was going to hurt, but he had to stop the bleeding. Irene groaned in pain when he moved her.

"I know but bare with me." He said when she cried in pain.

They knew how to kill demons, so they had stabbed her in the back. He tied his shirt around her waist and held her in his lap.

"Heaven," she breathed.

"She is alright." He told her. "And you will be fine too."

She shook her head. "Pain. Ple… ase end it."

"No!"

He felt wetness under his eyes and on his cheeks. Was he crying?

He sensed Euphorions' presence, but didn't care to turn to him. The demon was probably shocked as well.

Lucifer just held Irene in his lap. He was too afraid to move and cause more pain. He didn't know what to do. But Irene looked like she wanted to tell him something. She tried her best to speak, but strange words came out of her mouth.

Lucifer turned to Euphorion. "What does she want to say?"

Euphorion was frozen in shock. His face was completely pale. "She is in much pain. She wants you to end it." His voice broke.

"No! I am not doing that." He told her. He refused to believe that she was going to die.

She looked over at Euphorion. Lucifer guessed that she was now asking him because Euphorion's face twisted in pain.

"Don't think of it!" Lucifer threatened.

"Lucifer." Irene called.

"Yes." He quickly turned back to her and was glad to hear that she could say his name now. "You will be fine." He promised.

If she was still alive, she had to be fine. Maybe they missed stabbing her right in the spine. Maybe they stabbed next to it. It had to be. He wanted to turn her over and take a good look, but that would cause her more pain.

"I will take you home," he said.

"No!" She shook her head violently.
