him. And that particular demon only exited Hell when something massive required his attention.
A scuffling reverberation had him thinking Micah nodded at his brother’s question. “Madison, I know where you are. I’ll come remove the Demon Lock.”
“It’s intertwined with an Angel Lock,” Mads said.
“Goddamn it!” Dishes and silverware rattled after a loud bang.
Nix grinned. Violence from the King went a long way in mollifying his agitation. “Not taking any chances when it comes to protecting her from your sorry ass.”
“Phoenix, she’s my fucking wife.” It sounded like the King spoke through clenched teeth. “Release her.”
Nix held Mads’s gaze. “She’s mine now. You have no claim on her.”
The fire that sparked in her eyes indicated their hostilities displeased her. She shoved his hand off her thigh and pushed off the desk. “FYI to both of you…I am my own person. I make the decision who I build a relationship with, not either one of you. So can the caveman bullshit. I will not tolerate it.”
“Sorry, Mads.” He touched her cheek with the backs of his knuckles. She nodded, but he could tell by the tension in her body she was far from appeased.
“Kitten—”
“I wouldn’t push her right now, Micah. If you could see her eyes, you’d know she’s pissed.”
A long moment of tense silence ended with a weary-sounding sigh from the fallen angel. “Demon?”
“Yep.”
“Phoenix, I need to meet with you immediately.”
Nix frowned. Dealing with the King grew tiring. He wanted just twenty-four freakin’ hours of uninterrupted peace to enjoy with Mads before having to dicker with him “Why?”
“If it concerns me, talk freely.”
“Of course it concerns you, kitten. My entire life is centered on you.”
“That’s the fucking truth.” Elias’s muted voice sounded disgusted.
“Either start talking or Nix is disconnecting the call.” Mads’s hands balled into fists at her sides. He loved her sexy pissed-off side.
“Madison, this is serious—”
“I’m serious, too.” She was dead calm. “No more games. Or when this Demon Lock falls I’ll return to Hell with Amos, but nothing in my covenant with you says we have to remain.”
Micah laughed. Actually laughed. He had to be deranged because if he could see Mads’s expression, he’d be very grave. “I always did think your quick wit was sexy, kitten.”
“Hang up, Nix.”
He went to depress the button, but the King quickly said, “Wait!” Unsure how to proceed, Nix did nothing but stand there with the phone in his palm. “What I need to meet with Phoenix about is more important than the covenant, Madison. You’re released from it.”
Mads’s jaw dropped with a tiny gasp.
“Phoenix, that meeting—immediately. I’m at the local café in town. The only one in this backwoods hick city.”
She said nothing, just lowered her gaze to the floor as she chewed on her bottom lip. Being released from the covenant spoke volumes to the severity of the fallen’s intentions. “Why would you release me from the covenant, Micah?”
“You and Amos both are in peril.” Her husband’s harsh tone convinced Nix the King wanted to—and would —rip apart whatever threatened his family. “Those fucking Locks trap you and put you in more danger. I will not tolerate it. Make sure they’re removed before you meet me at the café, Phoenix.”
“If she’s in that much danger, you should come to us.” Nix jerked at the sound of Zen’s voice. “We’ll have a family meeting.”
He had no idea when the immortal had entered the room. He’d obviously teleported because Nix faced the door and Zen stood at his back.
“What’s your hidden agenda, Zennyo Ryuo?”
Valid question and he didn’t blame Micah for asking.
“None.” Zenny walked to Mads and looped his arm around her shoulder. He must have said something telepathically to her because she nodded. “I’ll allow Elias entrance, also. Your departure
