In the middle of the forest, Ophelia staggered back with shock and confusion. She touched her kiss swollen lips and looked at him with wide eyes.
She never experienced anything like this before. If she is being honest with herself, then she can admit that she was lost in his kisses and they felt nice.
But, she is not ready to accept it. Her pride will not allow her to agree to something which she did not have control over.
This scared her more than anything could. She looked at him with confusion and a little fear. Her fear comes from the knowledge that she might lose control again.
Lucian looked at her with his pupils dilated. He took a step towards her and she staggered a step back. Confusion and fear evident in her eyes.
Lucian misunderstood her fear. He thought she is scared of him. He retreated his step back away from her.
Ophelia was so confused, she turned around and fled the scene. As her feet were already sore, she couldn't take more than
Lucian sighed impatiently. She must be angry at him for the kiss. But it was not his mistake. She was enticing him like a succubus.Her feet are sore and now she is injured. She won't be able to walk back alone, Lucian thought.She is being stubborn, she needs his help. He is the one who bought her here and he will take responsibility for her and deposit her safely near her house.As soon as tomorrow's ritual is finished, and they learn the truth behind the Apocalypse, he will not stay here. He will go to his house away from the temptation in front of him."You are injured, you need help. Let me help you" he offered again. This time he softened his words for her sake.He still believes that she is scared of him now. He thought that she might be scared thinking that, he might kill her.The softness in his tone made Ophelia look at him strangely. For some reason, it felt nice.Immediately she snapped out of it. 'You don't need his help.
In the west wing of the Mansion, Amber rushed towards the room door to escape from the awkward situation she found herself in.In her embarrassed state, she completely forgot about the rusted door which locked them both inside the room.She hastily rushed forward and pulled the doorknob only to belatedly realize that it's locked and not opening.She forgot about Lucifer who is still in the room with her. Panic gripped her heart in its iron fists.She started sweating profusely and shivers raked her spine. Images of Ornan and the dark world started to play in her mind."Go away, please leave me alone" Amber held her head tightly in her fists and collapsed on the ground crying.Everyone can guess can mental condition, but no one knows in detail, what she has gone through.Lucifer expected her to get scared when she realized that the door is locked. But he never thought she would become like this."Hey" he slowly approached her.
In the east wing of the Mansion, Darius and Thea were laying on the bed holding each other. Their clothes were through eternally where in the room.Darius is playing with Thea's hair and she is closing her eyes with a lazy smile."I love your hair" he comments playing with her silky hair."You don't love my eyes" Thea pouts her lips and a smile threatens to bloom on her pouty lips.Darius sees through her act and pecks those rosy lips of hers."I love your lips, eyes, nose ears and everything about you," he says to indulge her.She laughs at him and swats playfully on his naked torso."You just saying for my sake" she accuses."No Angel, I love everything about you, your smile, your pout, your anger everything. I won't change a thing about you. You are perfect the way you are. Just born to be mine" he hugs her closer.She wraps her arms around him and smiles shyly."I was meant to ask you earlier but was distracte
The next morning, a maid approached Thea, who was walking towards the living area of the mansion.She didn't see Amber since thi?s morning. Even though it's just 9 Amber is an early bird. She would have been up and around by now.Thea was walking aimlessly searching for Amber when noticed a maid approaching her in a hurry."My queen" she bowed with respect.Thea smiled at the maid gently."Is there anything you wanted to ask me?" Thea asked the maid, who seems to be hesitant."There is an issue with one of the doors in the west wing your highness. I don't know if I should trouble you with this or not" the maid replied with respect."It's ok, you can tell me anything. It's not a trouble at all. Don't worry, now tell me what is it?" Thea encouraged the maid."As we always did, we were cleaning the mansion this morning. The door of one of the rooms in the west wing is locked. We tried to open it, but it's not opening" the maid hes
Thea rushed towards the room which was her brother Lucifer's room.When she approached the room, she noticed the rusty lock. She instantly realized what the issue is.As her palm touched the rusty lock, all the rust disappeared and it became as good as the new one.She hurriedly opened the door and was surprised to find Amber there. That's not the weird thing, the weirdest thing is she is comfortably sitting on the bed and eating a fruit.Lucifer is sitting beside her, and watching her with a content smile on her face.'Seems like Darius's meddling worked for these two' she mused in her mind."Here I was feeling bad, that you got locked inside," Thea said amused.She leaned lazily on the door frame and sent away all the maids.Amber got startled and stopped chewing the fruit and resumed as soon as she saw Thea.Lucifer snapped his head towards Thea, who is looking at them with an amused smile. He can understand what she
Lucifer made his way towards the dining room to find Lucian already present there. He seems to be in deep thoughts. Lucian did not notice Lucifer who stood beside him."You are lost" Lucifer commented which startled Lucian.Lucian snapped his head towards where Lucifer is standing and smiled at him."Good morning" Lucian greeted."Indeed it's a very good morning," Darius said, making his way towards them with an amused Thea beside him."Here we go again" Lucifer muttered.That got Lucian's attention."What happened" he asked excitedly."Lucifer got himself locked inside his room," Darius said, intentionally not taking Ambers's name.Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief at this."What" Lucian laugh out loud."Indeed you had an exciting morning" Lucian commented."How about you? Did you find your room comfortable?" Darius directed the conversation towards Lucian.Instantly Lucian's face became close
After breakfast, everyone got themselves busy with the preparation for the ritual that was planned for that evening.Lucian called his Vampires and so did Lucifer. They are yet to arrive any minute now.Lord Agamanan offered his help as well. He called a few of the witches, who are well versed to counter-attack dark spells.They were called to assist Lord Lucifer, who is the one doing the ritual. If it gets worst, then the witches are there to close the portal and completely close the area where there are dark creatures.Ophelia watched Master vampire Lucian from afar. Today morning when he crossed paths with her, he greeted her politely.He looked at her as if looking at a stranger. Somehow it sting more than it should have.After that, he was busy with his work. The amusement from earlier is gone completely.He is neither angry nor amused. He is just reserved and cold, like the first time she met him.Commander Jonathan instructed he
Demons will keep themselves air born and help their other two team members on the ground.Vampire should confuse the dark creature and the shadow creature with his speed. Once they detect the real dark creature, then they should be contained by the shifter.If the dark creature tries to eat or kill your teammate, then the creatures should be killed.Those were the instructions given to all the teams. They were to choose their weapon of choice if they need any and be prepared by dawn.Everyone gathered in the arena after dawn.Lucifer stood in the middle surrounded by all his companions and witches are standing a few feet away.He remembered how he bumped into Amber while on his way to the arena."Lord Lucifer" she greeted politely."Where are you going" Lucifer asked knowing full well where she was going."To the arena" Amber answered truthfully."I don't want you to go there. I want you to stay in the mansi
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
