The next morning I was woken up with the sun brightly shining on my face. Darius held me tightly with his arm around my waist.
I remember our kiss and blushed a little. He kissed me until my lips were swollen like a hungry beast
he is.
I turn my head and notice that he is still sleeping. His features softened a lot in his sleep. The roughness he holds in the day vanished to give him a peaceful look.
"If you keep looking at me like that, I won't let you go with just a kiss this time" his playful threat startle me from my observation.
I snap my attention back to his eyes, only to know that he is already looking at me with hunger.
I push him away when he was distracted and got up as quickly as possible.
"Hey " he tried to pull me back towards him only to grab air.
"Haha" I laugh at his failed attempt.
"Laugh until I catch you, then you see who will laugh" with that threat he got up and runs after me.
"Oh no,"
Lucifer was escorted by a royal guard. He made his way inside the familiar Mansion.He visited this place so many times over these past years. He always wanted to make amends with Darius.The last lord of the underworld, father of Azzazal or now Darius asked him to promise him, that he will try his best to make his son not hate him again.Lucifer too tried multiple times, but he always failed. He cannot fault Darius for this. Father and son got so many misunderstandings between them. It's a miracle Darius even came to visit him in the Underworld.All for the love of Althea. He is glad that they both found each other again.He was so lost in his thoughts, he bumped into something soft and tiny."Ouch," a female voice said from the ground.I glanced down and notice a girl rubbing her elbow. I couldn't see her face, it's covered with her hair. I got this protective feeling towards this girl."I am sorry," I said and tried to pull he
"Sorry for making you guys wait," Lucifer said as he made his way inside King Darius Study."No issues Lord Lucifer, we just arrived ourselves" Master vampire Lucian greeted him.He got up from his chair and hugged the Lord of the underworld" they patted each other on their backs."King Darius" Lucifer gave the King of the shifters a brotherly hug."Long time no see Your highness" Lucifer teased Darius.Darius raised his eyebrows, but a small smile was playing on his lips."What can I say, I didn't like your guest services much in there. And it tends to get a litter hotter over there," he made fun of the Lord."Really?, how could you do that Lucifer? I am very disappointed in you" Lucian said dramatically."You are the one to talk, you kidnapped Thea in the broad daylight" Darius remarked drily."What? you dared to kidnap my sister Lucian? I didn't expect this from you at all" It's Lucifer's turn to tease Lucian."Hey, that
"Spells can only travel in a single plane. We all live on earth. But Lord Lucifer and the Demons live under the ground near the core of the earth. The dark creatures live between the sky and the land. So, the spells cannot move past the planes easily. That is why they were unaffected" the Witch lord explained the logic behind the spells not attacking the Demons like they attacked the others."So that implies, even the dark creatures cannot go into the underworld?" Lucian asked curiously."No Master Lucian, they can. The underworld opened its gates many years ago for all of us to enter and exit at will. Their gateway leads to another plane on earth, where the elements act differently than they act on the ground. The spells were guided by the elements on the ground. Even if they could reach the gates, they won't be able to cross them. The air in the underworld is hotter than the air on the ground. Usually, it expands and pushes itself out, when the gates were opened. So it
"What happened" Lucian becomes anxious looking at Lucifer, who is now as pale as a sheet.Lucifer looks at the picture like it might come to life and kill them all right then and there."Lucifer" Darius's voice penetrates his fog and he finally lifts his head to notice the others in the room."He is called the Apocalypse" he reveals the truth which was told to him centuries ago by a lady and confirmed by God himself."What?" the other looked at him expectantly waiting for him to disclose what he knew about the picture."He is apocalypse " Lucifer repeated in a daze."Yes, that part of someone in that picture being apocalypse, we understood that. But who is it? and why does he giving you so much stress" Lucian asked in a concerned voice."When I was still a warrior Angel, a human elderly woman said that I would be Apocalypse" he murmured absentmindedly.Everyone in the room froze at this statement.But what none of them understood
Everyone in the room heard what Lucifer said. If what he said is right, then he is apocalypse."Like the woman predicted, I fell from grace. Like Althea wished near the tree of destiny, she followed behind me. Then, if I find love, I will become Apocalypse" Lucifer concluded."I think you are looking at it in the wrong way," the lord of the Witches said hesitantly."What do you mean?" Lucifer inquired."According to what you said, yours and her highness queen Thea's futures are weaved together. That means, you fell and she fell too. This time she found love and you will follow suit and find your partner. Then, both of you will face the Apocalypse" the witch lord concluded."This makes sense" Darius murmured."You mean, I am not the Apocalypse like she predicted," Lucifer asked in a hopeful voice."No, she never said you will be the Apocalypse. The only time she related you in her statement was when she said you will fall from grace. Th
All the lords followed Darius out of his study.Darius saw Ophelia, Max, Thea, Melanie, and Amber laughing at something.Good, everyone I need is in one place. I don't need to search for them, thought Darius.Time for tasting your own medicine my friends, Darius smirked. They teased Darius relentlessly when he found Thea. Now it's their turn. They gave him ammo against them unknowingly."Amber, how are you feeling today," Darius asked her.If she is not well, then he cannot force her to accompany Lucifer. That girl is fragile, but according to what Lucifer revealed, he protective towards the girl, which is good for her.Lucifer's ears perked up with the mention of the girl, whom he bumped into earlier. Unknown to him, she invoked a kind of protective instinct inside him which only Althea used to make him feel. But his thoughts about this little human is far from brotherly, which bothered him greatly."I am feeling well, Your Highness"
Amber ran into the kitchen and drank a glass of water.She then took a deep breath to compose herself. In all her 20 years of life, she was never this confused with a guy.She was always composed and well-behaved. But, she could open her mouth for the life of her.King Darius wanted her to act as the host, for the lord of the underworld. But she hardly spoke to him.He must get a feeling that she is rude.'What is wrong with you? You are acting like an idiot' Amber scolded herself.'You go up there, give him the water he asked for, and politely ask him if he needs anything else' Amber gave herself a mental pep talk."If only, it's that simple" she muttered to herself.She fetched a pitcher filled with water and made her way towards the east wing.The mansion has two wings, east and west.The east wing has the advantage of the lake. There will be access to the lake from any room in the east wing.
Elsewhere in the middle of the forest inside the pack, which is used by the shifters for their runs, Lucian was walking leisurely.Ophelia was irritated by his behavior but dare not to speak it out loud.His warning still fresh in her mind, she tried not to push him further.What he did is wrong, he might have had his reasons, but kidnapping people who belong to the shifters is considered sin in her books.King Darius and Thea must have forgiven this good-for-nothing creature, but she is not planning to do the same.She got more irritated by his leisure pace, as if they are walking in a park.This is the pack forest, it is spread for a hundred acres, beyond the mansion and the Lake.The Lake is spread throughout the wilderness, nurturing birds and animals. There are so many wild animals in the forest, and none of them are dangerous.They were walking for about 2 hours. It's too dark and Li is too tired. She had her training early in th
Baraka came out of her house and was stunned to see Eugene standing there."Eugene?" She called softly.As far as she knows, both Eugene and Odhan are with King Darius and Thea. They went to attend their wedding. Then what is Eugene doing here?As soon as Eugene heard Baraka's words, he stiffened.He ignored her and looked at Lady Tina."Can we go?" he asked her politely.Tina noticed his coldness towards Baraka but didn't comment on it."Yes, let's go" instead she answered him softly.Baraka did not understand where she is going and why is Eugene looking comfortable with Lady Tina. But she did not question them and followed quietly.She opened another portal and they reached the hospital in just seconds.Lady Tina walked towards Odhan's room with Eugene and Baraka behind her.Baraka immediately recognized her surroundings. She know what this place is. But she is confused as to why lady Tina brought her here.
Odhan is admitted to the pack hospital. His injuries are much severe than he anticipated. There are numerous injuries all over his body and his leg is fractured. Jumping into the water made his injuries bleed profusely and are infected."His bone damage is excessive. He ran using his fractured leg at a speed, not all possible. His bone splintered and I am afraid, the damage is irreversible. He might never be able to walk again" the pack doctor said.After prescribing some medicine to him, she left.Tina busted out crying. She cannot believe he risked his life to save a boy who is completely unrelated to him. Even Lincoln's own father never did anything for his son. But Odhan jumped from the 3rd floor to save Lincon's life."I am sorry, this is all my fault. I failed to take better care of Lincoln" Tina cried with gratitude and guilt.Organ, who is shocked by the doctor's words is still reeling in shock. He is shocked to hear that he can never
The next morning, Everyone was hungover from the previous night's party. It's 11 in the morning, but Odhan is yet to wake up from his sleep.Only Thea, Darius, Max, and Tina woke up. They are chatting about the wedding details, which is going to take place in a couple of days."We need to start decorating the pack for your wedding," Max said looking at the different decoration styles from the brochure the wedding planner had given them."Ya, Thea liked that one" Darius pointed out towards a decoration, which resembles the heaven with white pillars decorated with white flowers and lights. White shimmering curtains are too used to decorate the entire pack, giving it a heavenish look.The wedding will be going to take place inside the pack itself. The location will be illuminated with lights, which will be hung on to the branches of the trees. The entrance will have two big white gates.Max started to laugh as soon as he saw the decoration."On
In the underworld, everyone seems happy. The bride and groom Darius and Thea are dancing happily in each other's embrace. Lucian and Ophelia, Lucifer and Amber, Max and Melanie, all are having fun drinking and dancing.They are dancing as if they have no care in the world. All their worries and troubles vanished and all they are feeling in this instant is happiness.Lady Tina and Odhan are sitting and enjoying the others dancing like crazy. Even Eugene is having fun.Some of their dance moves are so crazy, Lady Tina couldn't help but laugh at their craziness."I never laughed this much in my life" she confessed to Odhan.Odhan looked surprised at her confession. He can understand why she couldn't have laughed and be happy when she was with David, but what about before that? She was a princess. Didn't her parents treat her well? Odhan thought with confusion."Why is that? You were a princess before you married David right? These past ten year
Amber can feel the pounding of her heart. She know what she is about to do. She never confessed her love to anyone. Hell, it's the first time she is admitting it to herself.She is in Love with Lucifer. She knows he started loving him since the moment he held her in his arms, when they were locked inside his room on that first night of his stay in the royal pack.Lucifer is looking at Amber with a mixture of hope and confusion. He can see the different emotions playing in Amber's eyes.He is hoping that she is about to confess her feeling towards him. He is also considering the what if's. What if she is talking about something else?.Lucifer is waiting for her to explain her intentions."Okay, I won't assume. Tell me. What do you want from me?" he prompted softly."Everything, I want everything from you." She whispered shyly.The blush which is gradually taking over her face gave Lucifer all the answers he
Amber tried to control her tears. But, it proved to be easier said than done. Lucifer's indifferent attitude is hurting her more than she ever realized.He was the one who is kind to her and became a good friend. He was by her side through her shifting process. He is the one who saved her from Assorthan. He is the one who made her feel what love is. Now he is one who is ignoring her.Amber went inside a random room which she found unlocked and closed the door softly behind her. She didn't bother switching on the lights.She slid down the door and sat on the floor with a heavy heart. The tears she tried so hard to suppress started to drift down her cheeks.Her body shook with the intensity of her sobs. As the lights are switched off, Amber didn't notice another presence in the room.After making sure everything is arranged for his guests, Lucifer slipped out of the party with a silly excuse. He went into his room and collapsed on the bed, with
Darius look puzzled at Lucifer's comment.'I think one will lose their sense of clarity if they love someone' he thought with amusement.'She didn't tell him she doesn't love him, but he is thinking that she does not love him because she is angry. He might want to give her space and must be feeling bad for forcing his opinion on her. I always thought you are the smart one of the three of us. Now you are acting like an idiot' he thought and shook his head.'I guess it's time to play cupid again' Darius said with amusement."What happened? Why are you smiling like that?" Thea asked, who is still sitting in his lap.Darius looked at Thea and gave her a mischievous wink."Oh no. Not again" she groaned, but a small smile is playing on her lips."I know you love it" he hugged her tightly."Hmm..." She hummed with content.They sat like that for a couple of minutes."So what are you planning this time?" Thea asked unable to
Lucifer sat on the road looking at the fast leaving car, driven by Amber."That went well" Lucian commented flexing his fingers.Lucifer glared at Lucian, who in turn just shrugged his shoulders."Pushing me under that truck was your master plan?" Lucifer asked getting up from the road. He dusted his clothes a little and looked at Darius expectantly."Yes, it's such a brilliant plan. She would have confessed her love if you healed a little bit slower" Darius said shaking his head like a school principal.Lucifer rolled his eyes at him and snorted with ridicule."It almost worked. We even convinced her that you attempted suicide. But sad, she found out that we are acting sooner than we expect her to be" Lucian said with mock pity.In reality, none of them are really concerned about Amber not loving Lucifer. They saw clearly that she love him. This would have given her a good scare. She would accept him sooner rather than later."Y
"So what are we doing here?" Lucifer asked Darius."Waiting," Darius said looking to his right.Lucifer rolled his eyes and snorted at the obviously."Obviously, What are we waiting here for?" he asked again.Darius sighed heavily and finally looked at Lucifer in annoyance."We are waiting here for Amber" Darius announced and turned away to look in the right.They are currently waiting in their car, which is pulled over to aside, so that they don't disturb the traffic.It's a thick forest on either side of them. They are nestled a little deeper into the tree line so that they can't be seen."You dragged me here with a plan to make Amber realize that she loves me. But you didn't tell me what your plan is" Lucifer muttered irritably."You grumble like a woman" Darius muttered.Lucifer glared at Darius. But the latter look least bothered by Lucifer's angry tantrum."Relax brother. You will like the outcome be
