Valerie Willis
“Watch your words, witch.” His grin was wide and Angeline caught a glimpse of his fangs as they crept from under his lips. As his animalistic stare caught her in it, sweat dripped down his temple. “Cursing a demon can be costly I hear. I have heard there’s a hellish recoil for attempting to curse other magical beings. You might regret saying that later, pet.”

“Shut your mouth.” The tone of his voice was dark. She’d struck a nerve and his jaw muscles flexed. “You know nothing about magic or what it is capable of doing to a person, regardless if they are demon or human. Do not speak to me about magic..."
