Before Alekos can finish what he is about to say, a loud noise comes from downstairs. It sounds like things are being broken. An argument follows.
“What’s Reyes’ problem? Does he have a childhood trauma or something like that?” I try to guess.
“Something like that,” says Alekos. “Shoving food like that in his mouth brings back bad memories”
I bite my bottom lip before getting up from the bed. Moisture run down my thighs. I might not like what they did to me, but I am not going to fight evil with more
“I don’t think going to him right now is a good idea. Wait until his demon
non has calmed,” Alekos warns me.
Pain shoots through my feet. The cuts I suffered earlier are starting to bother me.
1 pick up eyes t-shirt from the floor and put it on. “If I am your hellstar, then I should calm his demon. When Reyes stops trashing the apartment, we will sit table and talk. And I will listen to the story about demons and angels.”

Not waiting for Alekos to stop me, I leave the room,
ps were on the floor. Stefan is trying to stop eyes from breaking even more
пр
Reyes and Stelan are in the kitchen, broken plates and cups were on
“Calm the f uck down,” Stefan says.
A loud grow comes from eyes. His eyes are so red they seem to glow. There is so much anger in them it scares me for a moment. The phantom mask I’d seen earlier is back on his face.
Why the hell is Heyes an upset over a piece of chicken?
I clear my throat, trying to catch their attention, but they don’t hear me. “Reyes,” I say calmly.
Reyes punches Stelan in the face below his left eye.
“Reyes!” I shout and rush to him, stepping over the broken plates. Reyes is about to punch Stefan again when I insert myself between the two of them and wrap my hands around his fist. “Stop” I whisper.
Reyes turns his attention to me. His eyes are unfocused. “Mate,” he growls in an inhuman voice after taking a deep breath. “You are hurt.” He picks me up like I weich nothing. “If you have cut yourself again, I will punish you.”
1 run a finger down his chest, hoping it will calm him. “How about we eat, and you tell me the story about demons and angels?
Reyes walks out of the kitchen, and I glance over his shoulder at Stefan-he looks at me with such anger it crushes my heart. I don’t blame him. No matter what I do, I always get them angry.
“Are you alright?” Alekos asks when Reyes returns to the bedroom.
Reyes puts me on the bed and inspects my feet. “I will be, but I might have punched Stefan.” When he finds no new wounds, his eyes return to normal, and he sits next to me. “Now, will you stop making a fuss and be a good gl.”
I reluctantly nod, not wanting to add more to the drama surrounding me.
