Chapter 48

** Mixed Signals**

Athena Pov.

It's been a week since Azazel started teaching me about my powers, and honestly, I'm starting to feel like a completely different person. Not just because I can now teleport like it's no big deal—although that's a huge part of it—but because I'm finally beginning to understand what I'm capable of. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm in control of something in my life. Even if that "something" involves hopping between realms and hanging out with demons. Totally normal, right?

Azazel's been a surprisingly good teacher. Well, when he's not teasing me or trying to be all mysterious about things. He has this way of acting like everything is so obvious, like teleportation is as easy as breathing. And okay, maybe it is for him, but for me? It's taken a lot of focus. Still, I can't deny that I'm getting better. More confident. Stronger.
