A Devilish Christmas

By Raven Anxo

Hell was well, hell. A place of torment, so when his mate decided they were going to be celebrating Christmas, Lucifer shuddered. The season grated against his skin and nothing would change how he viewed it.
Fate, or destiny, had other plans though.

Chapter One

Lucifer raised a dark eyebrow when a demon bowed then hurried on its way. It wasn’t the obeisance that caught his attention, that was normal. It was the silver, shimmering strand draped around its neck which achieved that particular feat. Where in all his realm had the bloody thing come from? The question circled his brain as with his hands clasped behind his back he resumed his walk, pausing occasionally to check new arrivals were being taken to the correct level for their eternal punishment to begin.

Kelsey, Hell doesn’t celebrate Christmas. We don’t celebrate any holidays. This is a place of torment and punishment, not joy.

That may be, but this year we are celebrating it.

He suppressed the groan wanting to slip free at her enthusiasm. His realm was, in his opinion at least, about to birth a new level. One where Christmas and all its garishness played on a continuous loop. Kelsey, he said, rubbing at his temples to try and stave off his growing headache. "While I will try, for you my love,
