Bethany's POV

It's been over a week and Jason's mom has not came to speak to me or him. She in fact has been in her chambers and poor Zan has been having to tend to her every sexual fantasy with no rest. Well at least that is what I have heard through the gossip going around the castle. Jason has had to go to work a few different times to meet with important clients and he left me alone with one of his female cousins who actually was mated to someone who wasn't pure, like me, as his mom would say. Yani has been trying to help me with controlling my scent and I have managed to control it some as long as I'm not to stressed. What bothers me the most is the stress Jason is under from his mom's stubbornness in not excepting me. I have never been one to cow down and let people control me and my life by what they think of me. I'm tired of my future mother-in-law making me feel out of place and I won't let her treat her son like he is less than the King he is because his mate isn't a full-blooded Succubus. I get up from the couch making my way to the wardrobe when a loud knock comes from the bedroom door.

"Just a minute." I holler out as I pull a pair of joggers out of the drawers sliding them on with a nice comfy tee shirt that my mate wore. When he leaves me, I have to wear something of his so I can smell his scent to keep me calm. I walk to the door opening it and my grandfather is patiently waiting.

"Bethany my dear. You ready for your lesson?" Raziel has been given me lessons on my celestial powers and I have been doing pretty good. He actually said I was a fast learner. My favorite power so far has been healing. As clumsy as I am being able to heal my bumps and bruises has been pretty convenient. I hug my grandfather and step out into the hall.

"I'm ready. Where are we going for our lesson?"

"I noticed there was a beautiful flower garden just down this hall." I nod and follow behind him quietly. We walk till I smell the sweet smell of honeysuckles wafting through the slight breeze. We step through the archway into a beautiful well kept flower garden with wild honeysuckle, morning glories and roses among other colorful flowers growing everywhere.

"Wow! This is amazing!"

"Yes, it is quite beautiful for us being in Hell."

"How is this possible with where we are?"

"Powers of course. Each demon and celestial beings have different powers that they can use. If I recall, there is a demon that can control the earth. Meaning they can cause destruction like earthquakes or they can just as easy grown beautiful gardens as you see here." I nod listening intently as I want to learn as much as I can about the world I have been throw into. "That brings us to our lesson today. We are going to work on growing flowers. Are you ready?"

"I am so ready. This should be easy. I have always had a green thumb." I set to work and after a few hours I have already mastered growing flowers from seeds. Raziel seems to be impressed.

"Well, I think that's enough for the day, and I am being called to the celestial realm. Do you need me to walk you back to your room?"

"No, I'm good. Thanks for the lesson." I hug Raziel and watch as he disappears into a bright light then head back towards my room hoping Jason is back. I take a deep breath so I can control my scent until I get back. I slowly make my way down the hall trying to come up with a plan on how to get in the good graces of Jason's mom. What would make her understand that Jason will be a great king and I will be a great queen as long as we are together even if I'm only a quarter succubus? I must have zoned out because the next thing I know I'm bumping into someone and falling flat on my ass.

"I am so sorry Miss." I hear Zan saying as He grabs my hand and helps me up. I dust myself off and give him an apologetic smile.

"No Zan it was my fault totally. I wasn't watching where I was going."

"I was actually coming to find you and Jason. Is he back from the human world?"

"I don't know. I just got finished with my lessons from Raziel. You can walk with me to our room if you like." He offers me his arm and I link my arm through his making our way to hopefully see Jason.
