Damien’s P.O.V.

Synestra had been missing for almost a week and I was no closer to finding out where that asshole angel had taken her.  I knew there was only one way to find her and that she would hate me for it if she ever found out. I had to go talk to her mother. I had to remove the magic my father had used on her so she would know everything that had been going on. 

I let myself into their home, knowing Lailah wouldn't be home just yet. Her typical shift at the hospital had just ended and from what I knew of her she would be home in about fifteen minutes. I made myself comfortable on the couch after helping myself to a glass of sweet tea. 

I heard the sound of her keys in the lock and she entered the house. She sensed my presence before she saw me. Her wings sprouted from her back as she pre

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I wrapped the robe around myself as Gabe went to the door. My heart was beating out of my chest. I looked around frantically trying to come up with an exit plan. I had a feeling that it would be some of Lucifer's men at the door looking for me and I had to have a way out of here. I knew Gabe would fight them to protect me as long as he could, giving me extra time to get away.I slipped on a pair of Gabe's shorts and a t-shirt I found discarded on the floor after last night. I tried opening the window that faced the back of the cabin, I was sure I could make it out of the window before anyone could get past Gabe. I pulled up on the window with all of my strength and it wouldn't budge. I double checked the locks on the window , but still nothing. I assumed the window must have been painted shut. I knew I could make it to the ba

    Damien’s P.O.V.I looked around at the hundreds of dead angels littering the floor around me. I was covered in blood.. My blood soaked shirt clung to my heaving chest. The metallic taste of blood sat heavy in my mouth. Their white wings had been stained red. Blood was dripping down the walls and off the ceiling. I stepped over the bodies on my way out of the building. I took in the sights around, savoring the scent of blood in the air and the squishing sound with every step I took. I smiled, admiring the scene in front of me. It was official, the old me was back and it felt so good.None of the angels at Halo had given me information that I could use. I had to find someone that would be able to give me more information about Gabe. I decided to go back to Seraphine, hoping that she may have some more information.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.After Ramiel’s visit and the revelation that not only was Gabe an angel, but so were my mother, my possible father and myself I had confined myself in the bedroom for two days. Gabe had been respectful of my wishes for space and had been sleeping on the couch in the living room. I was angry. I was angry that I had been lied to my whole life. I was angry that both Damien and Gabe had known the truth about what I was and chose to keep it from me. Most of all though, I was angry at myself for falling in love with both of these men and not realizing they were only using me to gain an advantage for their respective sides.I stood in front of the mirror and ran my fingers over the marks on my neck. Both Damien and Gabe had marked me, claiming me as their own. If I was being honest with myself I was in love with both of them.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.A splitting headache was throbbing in my skull. I was sure I was going to lose consciousness when I noticed a blinding white light. When my vision cleared I was looking at the face of a very imposing man with huge white wings. I am not sure how I knew but I instantly knew I was looking into the eyes of the archangel Michael.Michael was a very large man well over six foot tall. He had broad shoulders and large muscular forearms. His hair shined like pure gold in the sunlight, his eyes were such a dark shade of brown they appeared to be almost black. The mere presence of him sent electrical shocks pulsing through my body that took me several seconds to realize were actually fear. I had spent two weeks living with Lucifer without ever truly feeling afraid. This man, however, had me trembling with fear.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I could feel the electricity buzzing inside me flowing along my veins as if my blood had been set on fire. I wasn't sure what this new feeling was but I liked it. For the first time in my life I felt powerful. Like I could do anything. I had been powerful enough to stop both an angel and a demon who were hell bent on killing each other. I began to wonder what this meant. What am I? More importantly what else can I do?Both Damien and Gabe were looking at me as if I were some unheard of creature in the zoo. The look of bewilderment on their faces made me want to hide behind the tree. Damien was the first to reach me. I could feel the concern rolling off of him.“What the hell was that, love? Are you ok?” he cupped my face in his hands. His eyes had returned to t

    Azazel’s P.O.V.After I had dropped off Synestra at her mother’s house I realized I was hungry again. I guess all that fighting really works up an appetite. It was pretty late so there were no restaurants open. I went back to the palace and made my way to the kitchen. Lucifer kept a full staff in the kitchen at all times. I think that started around the time Damien and I had hit our teenage years. At the time we were both always hungry and freshly cooked food was always better than conjured food.As I entered the kitchen I noticed the place was quiet. The servants that worked in the kitchen were mostly lower level demons. They were the ones most people think of when they hear the word demon. They were typically small, no more than three or four feet tall and had colorful scaly skin and dark or red eyes. These types of demons were not able to m

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“Good morning, I thought it was time we met. I hope you enjoy the breakfast. If I remember correctly I used your mom’s exact recipe.” A deep husky voice sounded behind me. I felt my body go stiff at the sound of the voice. I could feel eyes on my back. I was terrified to turn around. I tried to steady my nervous breathing, reminding myself that I had power now too. I slowly turned in my seat coming face to face with a man I had never met but knew his face all too well. I was looking at my own face, older and more manly of course but the resemblance was uncanny. “Nice to meet you. I am your father, Valac.”There was no denying it, this man was my father. He had the same raven hair as I did, the same almond shaped eyes. Though his eyes seemed to almost glow a deep crimson red that had me entranced. I had never

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“You are right. You are not the first, there have been two others. The first was Damien, he obviously had no choice but to go with his father’s side. The other I have just found out about as well. A boy, your age although he does not appear to have inherited the powers of either of his parents. I have been keeping an eye on him over the past few days and he is erratic and unpredictable. He is part of the reason I decided to reach out to you. I believe you are in danger. This boy believes you have taken his power and he is determined to get it back.” He finished with a grim look in his eye.“I don't understand. How could he know what I am and why would he think I have taken his power?” I asked.“Because my child,” Valac began. “He is your t

    Synestra’s P.O.V.My brother has underestimated me. He had underestimated the power coursing through my veins. It was a mistake he wouldn’t make again. I was no longer the weak and timid girl I had once been. I would no longer stand on the sidelines waiting for someone to come save me. I was born to be a leader. I was created out of pure power and had inherited a strength even my parents couldn’t match.The look on Syrus’ face when I unleashed my fury upon him was enough to make me feel giddy. I was not used to someone being afraid of me. I had always been the one that was invisible. Now I had been the one that held his fate in my hands. I had been in complete control. The sight of him practically begging me to spare his life gave me tingles. When he tried to use a human as a bargaining chip he had severely miss-r

    Gabe’s P.O.V.It was the most embarrassing thing in my entire life to have Michael and Ramiel have to release me from the containment charms. It had taken me hours to reach Ramiel through the angel mind link after that asshole demon left me here to rot. I couldn’t understand what Synestra saw in him.I hadn't expected Michael to be with Ramiel when he arrived. I could feel a shift in energy as they entered the room, Michael was angry. I had failed again and allowed Synestra to be taken, even worse, That demon was out there right now working on saving her. She would see him as her knight in shining armor, rather than the evil son of a bitch he really was.“You really stuck your foot in it this time didn’t you?” Ramiel laughed. “Who the hell caught you in a containment s

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“Now, my queen we have much to discuss. Let’s begin with the plans for our ceremony.” Syrus said as if it was the best news I could possibly hear.“What ceremony?” I asked not bothering to placate him at this point.“Our wedding my dear. It shall happen tomorrow. I may not force you to share my bed chambers, but you will be mine. My queen in all ways. I am eager to make it official and that does include consummating the marital bond.”He was really insane, I had to find a way to stall him while I thought of a way to get out of my gilded prison. I plastered a forced smile on my face trying to feign excitement over his news. I could tell he expected me to be happy about this. Finall

    Synestra’s P.O.V.We materialized inside of a large mansion. I looked around noticing the marble flooring inlaid with gold. There was a large gold and crystal chandelier hanging over my head. I briefly wondered how heavy it was and if I would have enough power to bring it crashing down on my brother. I cleared the thought from my mind knowing I wouldn't be able to bring it down fast enough to catch him before he could move. Directly in front of me was a large, greek style, marble statue surrounded by a fountain. Off to the right of the fountain was a grand staircase. The hand railings were made of gold and the stairs were the same marble with gold inlay.“Welcome to our castle my queen. I hope it is to your liking.” Syrus swept his hand out gesturing to the mansion around us. I wondered who this house belonged to and

    Damien’s P.O.V.She was gone! That freak had taken her and there was nothing I could do. I had tried to move, tried with all my strength to get to her. The containment spells he had placed on the floor were working. I felt stupid for falling for his trick. I should have known he would have expected us to follow her. He had been watching us all, for months, he knew there was no way the angel or myself would let her go alone.The anger burned deep within me. Lilith had helped him. I knew instantly why she had done it, she would stop at nothing to get me back, to become my queen. She had to have thought she would have a chance with Synestra gone. Although her reasoning was counterproductive, I knew her reasons which gave me a good starting point to begin trying to break her down. She had released Aly as Syrus had promised whic

We will find her. We just have to think of another way.” Gabe responded quickly.My eyes shot over to Damien, hoping he would be more apt to listen to me and make the deal I was offering.“I am afraid the angel is right, love.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.I took Damien by the hand and he snapped his fingers, in an instant we were surrounded by swirling black smoke. When the smoke dissipated we were back in Dallas. He had taken us to Albert and Aly's house. He must have sensed my need to check on my friend. I was feeling a little dizzy from the trip. I silently promised myself that I would have to practice travelling this way.I rushed into the house and ran straight to Aly’s room. Albert came following me into the room.“What are you doing, Syn? What happened to you? You were sitting here yesterday and then all of a sudden you were gone, where did you go?” Albert asked.“Have you seen Aly?” I asked, frantically.

    Synestra’s P.O.V.“You may want to listen to him, sis. Some people, like Damien and myself, are just born evil.” I turned to see a familiar face with those hauntingly familiar eyes.“Syrus.” I acknowledged, my voice cracking somewhat.As I looked into his eyes I could see the resemblance to both Valac and my mother. More so than that, I could see his resemblance to me. It was so close I was shocked I hadn't noticed it before. He had the same raven colored hair, the same golden flecks in his eyes, the same lopsided grin when he was up to something. There was no doubt we were twins. I studied the look on his face trying to determine his motive for being here. I reached out with my mind trying to sense his emotions. An overwhelming sense of anger and betrayal washed over me. In that

    Synestra’s P.O.V.We left the club after a few more drinks. I didn’t know what had come over me. I was never the type of girl to have even considered going through with the things we had just done, and in public no less. Being with Damien made me feel like a different person. The kind of person who had no inhibitions, who wasn’t afraid to give in to her darkest desires. I liked how I felt with him, who I was with him. Most of all I lived how there was no judgement from him. My mind instantly floated back to Gabe and I wondered how he would feel about this version of me. I was sure he would hate this me. I had betrayed his trust and the guilt ran over me like ice water on a cold night. I can't believe I hadn’t thought of Gabe sooner. He had not come to mind once while we were in the club. I told myself that maybe if he had I would have ended it before it got that far. The truth was I
