#Chapter116Betrayal-03"It is possible to control him with the stone but-" dad says with a thoughtful look on his face "He wasn't," I say cutting him off."What?" Brooke says."Andreas, he wasn't being controlled. I- I don't know how I know I just I could feel it through our bond I hadn't realize at first because of the heat of the moment but he wasn't I remember sensing a small bit of regret before it vanished. A person being controlled doesn't feel regret, Andreas chose to betray hell.""Cat's right," a voice from the door way says startling us.We all turned to see Levi abbadon and Lilith at the door."What do you mean?" Nic asks."There's a reason why no demon has ever betrayed hell before and that's because they never had a reason to," Levi says."I mean who'd want to betray a home where they had everything they'd ever want and need. To betrayal is a choice only you can make and that is why unless a demon chooses with its whole being to betray hell it
#Chapter117Betrayal-04At this point I didn't even think I had any more tears left as the last pieces of my heart shattered in my chest. Betraying hell was one thing but I never thought in a million years Dre would do this to me. He's no different, no different from all the assholes from the hybrid pack, no different from Noah. How could I have not seen it I guess I was too blind falling in love-"AHHHHHHH." I screamed on top of my lungs a second time as another wave of pain wash over me.Not only was my whole body now in pain my head felt like it is being hit repeatedly with a mallet and it burned as if something was being branded onto my brain. I close my eyes and held my head as I let out an ear splitting scream. Suddenly I could see something in the eyes if my mind.If I wasn't speechless before I sure as hell am now. The scene playing in my head was beyond words and something I didn't know I'd ever had the displeasure to see. Aphrodite and Andreas were lip locked in
#Chapter118Guilt-01LUCIFER'S POVLeaving Cat to rest, everyone went downstairs while I went to my office. I needed to be somewhere by myself right now, I'm in complete turmoil. Balthazar is this close from losing his shit and while I'm no better than he is I have to restrain him so he doesn't go on a rampage.I feel so fucking stupid right now, my daughter is hurting because of me. How could I have not seen all this coming? How could I not have known? I know what those two are like and I know Andreas and Aphrodite's history yet my dumbass didn't see this coming, all because I was too lax letting my guard down.Some fucking king I am.FuckFuck Fuck"FUCK!" I shout in rage the dark aura around me expanding.Boom!There's a loud explosion and the next thing I know the entire west wing of the castle disappeared. Luckily no one is on this side but me as it contains my room, office and a few other rooms."Dad what the fuck!" I hear Sam yells as the other
#Chapter119Guilt-02"Where's Cat?" I ask, my eyes darkening."She wasn't in here when I got here." Eric says."Aqua, where's Cat?" Harlequin asks, approaching her wailing friend."Sh- she's g-gone," she barely gets out."What?" I roar."I found this on the bed," she shakily hands me a piece of paper.Taking it from her hand, I see it's a piece of parchment with something written on it. As I read the words my blood runs cold and all the color leaves my face and I unconsciously take a step back."This can't be possible." I say to myself."What is it?" Sam asks, but I don't answer, my mind running a mile a minute.This writing belongs to only one person, the way these words are used would suggest it's them but that can't be possible because that person is dead, I saw it with my own eyes, in fact I killed them myself. Anger flashes through me and I step into the hallway, putting my arms together in a prayer sign I say out loud,"Into the light I summon th
#Chapter120Imposter-01CATALAYA'S POVI feel weak, my body heavy, my movements sluggish even opening my eyes felt like an impossible task. After a while I could but I only saw darkness. I could tell I'm on a bed but it obviously isn't my room, I remember vividly what happened. I feel like I was injected with some sort of drug but what could be so powerful that it would affect my ability to not only mind link but close off my bond with Legacy.I know it has to do with whatever that creature did to me. I felt the same way I did before my birthday. My mind is blank, no longer filled with the presence of my demon nor the connections I shared with my family. For the first time in my life I felt truly alone. Sitting up I released a low moan of pain due to the stiffness of my body. Raising my hand to remove whatever is on my face I heard the click clack of a chain. I pull the blind fold off finding myself in a room if under any other circumstance I would be awake, but couldn't
#Chapter121Imposter-02"No, no" I yell "I'm not falling for your trick. This isn't funny. Do you think this is funny? You are not my mother, my mom was killed after she gave birth to me. Drained of her blood by some psycho on a power high, whatever spell this is undo it right now""Is that what he told you?" The woman asks"That's not how I died or rather how they thought I died" she says"What?""Come I shall tell you the truth" she beckons me forward as she sits on her throne"The truth about what?""About me, about hell and most importantly about your father"Demiurge brings over a chair for me to sit on, I take a seat wondering what the heck this woman is going on about. I have to admit I'm curious but I'm mostly just buying time until I get my full powers back."Demiurge please prepare us something to eat this might take a while" she instructs Turning to me she says "Now I shall start from the beginning""When I met your father I was just a
#Chapter122Imposter-03"I know of your past my daughter and I'm sorry I couldn't protect you like I should but I'm here to do that now""Protect me from what?" I say"From heartbreak and betrayal. You cannot trust those people who claim to be your family Catalaya because in the end they will betray you just like both your mates did"I felt my heart constrict painfully in my chest at the mention of Dre and I held my head down. All this information was different from what I knew and I didn't know who to believe. This woman who might possibly be my mother, the one I thought was dead but also I could never find myself to believe that my dad would do that to her. I know dad would give up his own life for Sam and he'd surely do the same for the woman he loves. To say I was confused would be putting it lightly, I have more questions swimming in my mind than I've ever done before, I need to think all this through. As I silently picked through the maze in my brain I felt s
#Chapter123Swamp Of Sadness-01THIRD PERSON POVCatalaya turns to face the woman claiming to be her mother, as she did the woman blows a cloud of shimmering dust into her face causing Cat to sneeze after inhaling it. It stunned her, and for a few minutes, she stood there motionless. The woman began speaking in an unfamiliar language, her eyes began to glow and her mouth opened allowing a dark fog to come out. Catalaya's mouth opened as well and a bright red light flowed out of her. The two lights dangled in the air before switching bodies, the black one flew into Catalaya and the red into the woman. Fatigue immediately swept over Cat and she closed her eyes for a second but when she reopened them she saw herself before blacking out.The woman now occupying Catalaya's body and the demon Demiurge stood over the unconscious body that Cat now occupied. Their plan to try and turn Cat against her father hadn't gone as they had hoped but that didn't matter since they didn't
