Lucian and Arabella The Morning After
Chapter 32Adora’s head spun as the alcohol hit her system hard. She grinned at Lucian as Arabella grabbed her arm and led her to a bar stool. Almost sliding off, Adora grabbed Lucian’s arm to steady herself. Giggling, she slapped the bar and ordered a refill.Arabella watched helplessly as Adora took the drink the bartender placed in front of her and swallowed it in one gulp. Arabella never saw someone down a full drink in one gulp before. She was amazed Adora was still up right.As the two women interacted, Lucian watched Arabella closely. That she did not send him on his way right away was a good sign. Arabella did not talk to him again after he left the cabin when they brought her home. He always had high hopes that she would forgive him for whatever trespass he may have caused against her. He was still unsure what that might be.Adora looked at Lucian with bleary eyes and thought to herself, ‘He is almost as beautiful as Gabriel.’ Giggling, she hiccuped and started to slid off he
Lucian and Arabella She is Not Lost
Chapter 33Gabriel stood in front of Fate. He was not afraid of her, exactly; call it more like he was leary of all the women in the realm. “Do you know where Mother is? I would like an audience with her.”Fate stared at Gabriel making Gabriel wonder if she was even going to answer him. Finally, “It is not for you to wonder where she is. If it’s important, I can help you. Otherwise, you will have to wait on Mother and I don’t know when she will be back.”Fate’s voice sounded like bells ringing on a wind chime; sweet on the ears for the first little while but quickly becomes annoying. Right now, for Gabriel, it was annoying. Adora was missing, had been for about three weeks and Gabriel was becoming concerned. He wasn’t sure he wanted to trust Fate. That woman could be vicious if she thought you were wasting time.“Adora of Lost Paradise is missing. I am starting to worry that a demon may have gotten her which leaves her gate open. It would cause a big stir if the gate is left open.” Ga
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel
Chapter 34“Hey, Adora. Where have you been? I’ve looked all over for you.” Gabriel rushed to catch up with Adora as she passed his gate.Adora smiled faintly as she looked down at Gabriel’s hands. “You gonna whack me with that, Gabriel?”Gabriel’s gaze followed Adora’s. In his hands, he still held the Sword of Truth. He forgot to put it down when Adora walked by. He rushed back to the gate after raising one finger to tell Adora to wait for him. She did not. Adora continued walking to her quarters. Gabriel had to rush just to keep up with the woman.Adora sighed when Gabriel caught up. She did not want to lie to him, but Mother forbade her to tell anyone. For all of It’s purity, jealously was one emotion that The Realm had in common with earth. For centuries Mother tried to weed it out, but it was stubborn and would not go. There were a few that was jealous of Mother’s affection for Arabella. All Adora could do was tell Gabriel a partial truth.“I’ve been busy doing Mother’s bidding. Y
Lucian and Arabella Feel So Right
Chapter 35Arabella stared into Gabriels eyes. Adora coughed to remind the two that they were not alone. She glared at Gabriel when he glanced at her and grinned. “I think Gabriel was just leaving.”Suprised, Arabella looked at Adora. In the short time she had know Adore, never had she been rude to anyone. Now here she was being rude to this wonderful hunk of a man.“Oh, no, I don’t have to leave. Matter of fact, I’ll stay around and walk you both back to your vehicles.”“We take an Uber to get us home, Gabriel. No need for you to go out of your way for us.” Again, Adora was rude. Arabella could only shake her head. Maybe the two weren’t that good of friends.“Better still, Adora. I’ll drive you home.” Gabriel was back to looking at Arabella. At the cabin, they had no problem communicating, yet now, he could not think of a thing to say to her. He dreamed of this moment so many times and now that it was here, Gabriel remained tongue tied.Arabella looked at Adora, trying to figure out w
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel’s Picnic
Chapter 36Arabella was in the kitchen making tea when the knock came ot her door. She knew it could not be Adora as that one took off early to hike up to the falls and take pictures. She wanted to portray the falls through the day to see the different shadows and lines. Arabella begged off a hike; she just wanted to sit back and enjoy her tea. She was surprised to find Gabriel at her door.He looked at her with a sheepish grin and looked down toward his feet. She looked to where Gabriels eyes strayed and there, at their feet, stood a picnic basket. Arabella looked back up into Gabriel’s eyes. The God’s help her, she could fall into those beautiful eyes and die happy. Arabella jerked her head to banish her thoughts.She looked at Gabriel and could swear the man was laughing at her. His eyes seemed to twinkle. “Adora’s not here, Gabriel. She is off hiking somewhere and our mountains don’t really work well with cell phones, so I can’t call her.” “It’s not Adora I am looking for fair la
Lucian and Arabella Triangle
Chapter 37Lucian stared at the couple in their cozy little picnic. Anger stirred in his breast when he saw the smirk on Gabriels face. The man looked pretty smug from where Lucian was standing. Arabella looked at Lucian in surprise and a little anger herself.“You know, Lucian, when someone doesn’t answer a knock at the door that usually means one of two things. One, they are not at home and two, they do not wish to be bothered. Now, which one do you think applies here?”Arabella’s reprimand Lucian who became red in the face until the tip of his ears looked like they could catch fire. He threw her mail down on the table with no regard for the food that sat there. Anger rose but Lucian kept his voice level.“There’s your mail, Arabella. I suggest you notify the mail office that your address is not at Jack’s home.” Lucian kept his cool but inside, he was seething. Marcus had not been able to find out anything about this guy, it was as if he was a ghost. It just did not sit well with Luc
Lucian and Arabella Gabriel and Adora
Chapter 38“What are you doing here, Gabriel? I’ll bet Mother doesn’t know what you are up to. Hades, I don’t know what you are up to but maybe Mother would like to know where you are at.” Adora was furious and jealous.Her loyaltes were being pulled in different directions. She came here to find out what was so fascinating about Arabella that Mother protected her and now, Gabriel. What to do about Gabriel.“Don’t preach to me, Adora, I’m sure Mother doesn’t know what you are up to either. By the way, what are you up to?” Gabriel side stepped Adora’s questions and threw a few of his own back at her.”You’ve been around her a lot, Adora. Don’t you find her an unusual human?”“Well, yes but … ““No buts about it.” Gabriel cut Adora off before she could utter another word. “She is as different from humans as we are. I don’t know what it is or why she exists quite frankly. Arabella is an anomaly, don’t you see that Adora? Does that not interest you? We, you and I and many others, come to e
Lucian and Arabella Co-Conspiraters
Chapter 39It was time to do something drastic. Lucian tried everything he could think of to bring Arabella back to him. He was at his wits end.“I can help you if you’ll let me.” Lucian took his eyes off the dance floor and Arabella. Adora was standing beside him.“What are you talking about?” He was taken slightly by surprise. Then he laughed at himself. There was no way this woman knew what he was thinking.Adora gave him a mocking smile and pointed to herself. “I know what happened to you two and I know what is happening now. I seem to be in the same boat as you. Maybe, Lucian Alexander, we can help each other.”Lucian stopped staring at Arabella and turned to face Adora giving her his complete attention“What do you mean by saying we are in the same boat. I’m not sure I know what you are talking about.”Adora sighed; Lucian was going to be difficult and make her spell it out for him. Fine!! She would do just that.“Gabriel is mine.” Adora was blunt and to the point. “He has always

Lucian and Arabella Rising Sun
Chapter 101Arabella never called.Arabella lifted her head to the rising sun. She couldn’t remember how many nights she stayed up with one grieving person or another. At times, she wondered if she even helped these people. The Borders people were using her in may ways. One of them being this, midwife. Until now, she had never delivered before. She lost count of how many she had delivered. They were constantly on the move from one village to another.“You look like shit, Ari. Go, get some rest, I’ll clean up here.” Mac had been with Borders for many years and in that time he had been many things. Throwing Ari into it without her realizing the extent of their needs. It didn’t set well with Mac. Arabella was a nice and gentle woman and had a way of putting the patients at ease. Her help was greater than she realized.“It’s okay, Mac. If we both do it we can both get some rest. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you driving yourself half to death.” Arabella replied. “You push yourself too har
Lucian and Arabella Alone Again
Chapter 100Arabella sat in front of the cave one last time before she had to leave for the airport. She felt a great sadness when she gazed at the rubble that was once her place of peace. So much over the years was soaked into the rocks and ground. It was a place where she felt close to her mother and father. She felt a touch of loneliness when her thoughts turned toward Lucian. Too much time was lost to them. The years separated them. Adrian separated them. Arabella stood up and started the hike back to the cabin. It was time to leave.Arabella didn’t rush home. Thorn walked with her and she savored his presence. “I don’t know when I’ll be back. Jack promised to take care of the place and check up on you once in a while.” Thorn cocked his head to the side as he listened to Arabella. He understood more than people knew. He had his own large pack to take care of but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t miss the walks and talking she did with him. Over the years his pack grew to the size it wa
Lucian and Arabella A New World
Chapter 99The sound of the rock slide echoed down the canyon until it lost strength and force. Arabella stood in shock as her beloved cave was no more. In the distance she could hear the forlorn howl of Thorn and his pack. The forest itself became silent as though it were waiting for something more than it had already received, Arabella felt as though the world had stopped.The sound of a living forest returned slowly and Thorn’s pack could no longer be heard. Arabella knew it would be a shock to her system but after Ella blocked her abilities before, it showed Arabella that she could handle it. The mental agony could not be avoided but that too would fade as time went on.After the dust settled, Arabella looked around the forest and clearing where the cave once stood. Somehow, it all looked brand new. It was as though she had entered a new world. The shape and color of the leaves and pine needles on the trees took on a whole new meaning to her minds eye. They were sharper and the col

Lucian and Arabella Time
Chapter 97During the wedding set up and the wedding itself, Arabella ran on pure adrenaline. Now that it was finally over, Arabella had nothing else to give. Exhausted, she lay down on one of the benches that lined the pavilion. After much searching, that was where Lucian found her, sound asleep. Gently, Lucian picked up Arabella in his arms to carry her to her room.Arabella stirred slightly but did not awaken as Lucian strode toward the cabin. It felt so good to have her in his arms again, even if it was when she was sleeping. He orginally planned to propose to Arabella that evening, after the wedding. But decided that it was not the right time. This day belonged to Lucas and Lauren alone, Besides, he wanted to make it all special for the woman he loved, for his sweet Bella.Arabella awoke the next morning, still in her wedding outfit and laying on top of her bed with no memory of how she got there.

The young ones decided that they did not want to be married on the Island but at home on the mountain side.The wedding itself would take place on the west lawn that was large enough to hold around a thousand people, various tents full of food and drink.One tent would hold a memory lane of Lucas and Lauren as they grew from toddlers to graduate students. Thorn kept his distance as the wedding plans ramped up.Lucian worked with the wedding planner. They mapped out on paper where everything would be placed on the west lawn. There was more than enough room for them to be extravagant. Lucian mapped where he wanted the pavilion for dancing to stand. It backed up to the rose garden near the north side. The smell of the blooms would help create the romantic atmosphere he was aiming for. Lucian wanted to plan it beautifully for it would be the
Lucian and Arabella Absorption
Chapter 95Mother, Fate and Karma were Ella’s judge and jury. She stood before them in silver chains, insolent, uncaring. Ella lifted her head in arrogance as Mother read out her crimes. The top crime being her kidnapping of a human. One of the biggest no no’s were harming a human in any way to which Ella qualified for by her actions. Arabella stood to one side of the Dias; she was to give evidence against Ella.Arabella was uncomfortable to be in the presence of three such powerful women. She shuffled her feet so much she caught a warning look from Karma. Arabella stood stock still so as to not bring more attention on herself.The proceeding was similar as on earth except Ella was not allowed to defend herself. All of her misdeeds were playing out o the walls surrounding the proceedings. Ella was not the least bit repentant. She did not believe Mother would actually send her to be absorbed. It just was not done anymore. With that thought in mind, a small smile played out on her lips.
Lucian and Arabella Ending
Chapter 94Lucian walked back to the veranda to be close to Arabella while she slept. He was not surprised to find Thorn asleep on the porch beside the lounger where Arabella lay. Smiling to himself, Lucian sat down to wait on Arabella.Arabella’s sleep was long and uneventful. Echaustion keep the nightmares away. Slowly, Arabella started to wake up. She groaned a little at the pain from sleeping in one position for a long period of time. Arabella found herself alone on the veranda and started to panic. Just as she was ready to lose it, Lucian walked onto the veranda with hot coffee and finger sandwiches.“Ah, finally, you are awake?” Lucian said with a smile in his voice. “I was hoping you would soon. You must be starving by now.” Lucian set the tray with the coffee and food on the small table in front of Arabella.“Lucian, you’re here,” Arabella breathed whispered before she could stop herself. “Where is Selene? Oh, by the Gods, where is Ella?”Arabella tried to jump up from her cha
Lucian and Arabella Captured
Chapter 93Suddenly, Ella realized it was not Arabella, but Selene that stood before her. Quickly, she reached for the shadows, but nothing happened. Running to the mouth of the cave, Ella stopped short. Outdide stood Michael, his sword of rightness was drawn. Ella’s shoulders slumped in defeat.“How did you find her?” Ella was curious as to why her spell didn’t work.“Silly woman,” replied Selene, “You forgot one important element.”Ella was getting impatient and almost stomped her foot in anger. “No need to draw this out Selene.”“Please Ella,” Selene smiled, “Let me finish. You forgot she was half human. That rather voided your magic. Why did you do this, Ella? What did Arabella ever do to you?”“Do to me? You want to know what she ever did to me? She exists, Selene. Do you understand that? She exists. I have spent my life having Arabella shoved down my throat. So much so that I never felt good enough for you. What better way to reach than through your ‘daughter’. Your precious Ara
