Bellona's POV
I woke up the next morning refreshed and determined with a single goal in mind. To find out if Mr. Demon prince was truly a hybrid.
Because I thought about it thoroughly during the night and there was no way there could be another in existence.
The chances were less than zero.
So after breakfast with the other seraphim, I headed down to the cells were the demon was.
"I need proof."
"Woah, not even a good morning, Jax? And proof of what exactly."
"That what you're saying is true. Show me something that will leave no piece of doubt in my mind that everything you're saying is a hundred percent true.", I say looking right into those stormy blue eyes of his.
"Get me out of here then.", he said with a lazy grin on his face. "What!", I exclaimed.
"You heard me,babe.",he said in reply. "Absolutely not! I'd be given penance for something like that."
"Oh well, guess I can't prove my worth then.", he concludes with a sigh.
His words coupled with my everlasting curiosity led me to open the cell and unbind him. Promising myself that it'll be just for ten minutes at most.
"Ok then. You're unbound. Show me.", I said quickly not wanting this to take longer than it should.
He turned around and removed his shirt, revealing his bare back. I was about to ask him what I was supposed to be looking at when suddenly I notices it.
He had a faint but very defined pentagram tattoo on the right side of his lower back.
"Go on then. Touch it.", he said with a bored tone.
I walked into the cell and towards him tentatively. I lifted up my right index finger and pressed it against the center of it softly.
The reaction was immediate. As soon as my finger got in contact with his skin, the pentagram began to glow with the same hue as the bluish silvery substance that seraphims produced during the Gloria.
I gasped. He was truly a hybrid. I knew it after I saw the pentagram but needed to be sure. What if it was an earth tattoo?
I retracted my finger from it Immediately, it returmed back to normal.
"Now do you believe me?", he asked as he put his shirt back on.
"I guess I do. I'm sorry I doubted you before. I just needed to be sure that putting myself and probably the whole Elysium at risk is worth it.
I may not act like it but this is my home. I won't put it in harm's way just for nothing. You get me?"
"Wow", he said in reply, "I wish I could get so attached to a place the way you have the Elysium."
"There's a place for everyone, Jax. You just haven't found your place yet."
We are both silent for a while, lost in our own thoughts. "Well, I'm going to get the order to set you free by sunset. So I guess I better get going.", I said in a final sort of way.
"Sure.", he said. "See you around Bella."
I walked out of the building rolling my eyes at his new nickname for me.
It was time to pay a special warden chief a visit.
