Rei
Iwas still getting to know the people who gave birth to me, but I was having wicked fun in my dad’s demon man cave with his video game consoles, and I was learning my mother went a little crazy when it came to Hell parties. She was happily plotting and planning with my adoptive mother and the other wives, and there were areas of the palace that were now off-limits.
I wasn’t bored, even if I couldn’t fully explore my new home. Sota was taking us all over Hell, and the new gigantic futon finally got delivered. I was thoroughly enjoying the sightseeing and having all my mates in one bed at night. Now that I’d fully explored threesomes with supernaturals, I was all about orgies now. Personal development is important to me!
The day of the party had finally arrived, and it was a little nuts. The only person allowed out of my bedroom was Sota, and that was because he was in on it. Wren and I had been double teaming him, to see if we could get him to spill the beans about if there’d be any mortifying activity directed my way with two sets of parents that were super excited to see me and show me off.
Sota was stoic, and I was pretty sure he was fucking with me. I knew he would have told me anything I wanted to know, but there was this sparkle in his dark eyes that told me he was enjoying my questions, and the embarrassment would probably be very low.
Garment bags were delivered for all of us shortly before the party was supposed to start. Sota started handing them out, along with a tiny snippet of information.
“Now, this is a Hell party. Everyone expects you to show off, even if you aren’t a demon. Don’t kill anyone, because it’s just bad manners, but if you have the opportunity to show off your inner beast, you absolutely should, even if it’s just a flash of fang. Rajack, you should attend as your gargoyle, and Rei, your dress has been tailored to show off your fox.”
Rajack opened his garment bag, and it was just leather trousers. He cocked an eyebrow at Sota.
“I don’t even get a shirt? Rei might kill someone.”
“I adore the cleavage on this dress,” Wren said. “Please don’t get homicidal because I really want to wear it!”
Sota just chuckled.
“There won’t be anyone there who is crass enough to hit on anyone who is taken. No one invited would be stupid enough to hit on a newly bitten mate.”
“And… what about a Kitsune?” Faust growled. “Rei is going to look amazing in that.”
Dakarys tucked my hair behind my ear.
“You really are going to look fabulous in that.”
They had picked me out this fabulous, slinky purple number. It was like butter when I slipped it on. The front went all the way up to my neck, but the back dipped dangerously low to show off my tails. They’d spun it from some sort of impossibly slick silk, and it fit me like a second skin.
After I had my hair and makeup done, I turned to look at the others. They looked fabulous. Wren was in a tight, black goth looking number that showed off her perky breasts. Dakarys was dressed in golds that showed off his tawny skin and beautiful eyes, and Faust was in all leather, as was Rajack.
If I didn’t have to go to this party, I’d be stripping all those clothes off them that instant!
Sota checked his phone, then opened a portal. He offered me his arm and gave me a slight bow.
“Are you ready, Rei-Chan?”
I grabbed his arm. I was as ready as I’d ever been. We stepped through, and it was something else. The entire room stopped as soon as we set foot inside. Once we were all through, everyone started clapping. I could see everyone I’d already met, and plenty of people I hadn’t. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
“Does this mean I have to call you princess now?”
I knew that voice. I’d been trying to call him with zero luck. I whirled around and flung myself into his arms.
“Hauser! How the fuck did you get here, and why haven’t you been answering my calls?”
Hauser spun me around and set me down.
“I’ve been plotting with your wolf since you got out of prison. He told me the breakout failed, and we were trying to figure something out. He called me as soon as he learned of Sota. I like the demon, Rei.”
“I like all of them.”
I introduced Hauser to my mates. They’d all heard about him by now, and were excited to meet him. How did Faust and Sota manage to keep an entire wolf secret? When I tried to introduce him to my family, Sota had already gotten there. My father and Hauser appeared to be old friends.
“Your mentor is quite proficient at demon video games,” my father said.
“This place is amazing!”
